What should I make for my art class? (Ceramics and Pottery)?
Q. We're making a "Teapot that isn't a teapot" / "an abstract tea pot." The requirements are it has to have a spout, touch down at three points and it has to be six inches in one direction. And I have NO idea what to make! Help?! :)

A. An umbrella -the spokes that hold the fabric in place could be where it "touches down". the piece above the fabric, in the middle, could be the spout. Now that's not abstract, but it should help you think about the project. You could do a piece that is a long, cylindrical "pot" portion. The handle could be one of the points that touch down, but is large enough to hold most of the water. It could begin straight up, but bend over the top of the pot. Then it would continue on, at a slightly upward direction, with another point of touching about a third of the way to the front, while the long spout continues slightly upward, and at the front end of the spout, the third point it touches. Hard to visualize, but the point is, you start with… [cont.]

A. Massachusetts College of Arts has a fine arts 3d couse in ceramics--I did not attend school there but had the opportunity to visit on a school trip with Endicott College just outside of Boston-Endicott does have classes in ceramics but not much is offered--MassArt is probably on of the best.

Do you know of any good, online websites to find job opportunities under the field of ceramics/pottery jobs?
Q. I will be graduating soon from art school with a BFA in Ceramics, and would like to expand my horizon by possibly working for another artist, at a production pottery shop, a brick factory, or something else. How do I find these jobs online or else where?
Asked by Katherine - Fri Jun 12 20:18:58 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. I would suspect that most of the places like those named would be hiring low pay labor instead of BFA's in Ceramics. You should have a good resource in just asking your teachers about what they hear from former students and places in your area. Also, you need to make contact with ceramics/pottery suppliers in your area that also work with commercial places and talk to the owner or other person who interacts with places that might hire someone like you. If you haven't done so in the last 3-4 years, it might too late to be useful, but Google the address of your school and Search nearby for Ceramics and Pottery

I wanna become a high school art teacher, but I suck at using the pottery wheel. Help!?
Q. I don't think I can be a art teacher now. I looove ceramics. I love making masks and pigs and cows and everything else. My favorite part is painting everything so detailed. But I suck at the pottery wheel. I can't make a freakin bowl for my life. I need to make 2 bowls by the end of this semester to pass the class and I can't do it. I'm so discouraged right now. I use to love ceramics and clay but the pottery wheel is ruining my life. What are some good tips? And I HATE glaze!!! It makes the pieces so boring because you can't even mix the colors or anything without the piece looking like poop!!! I sooo prefer painting ceramic stuff with acrylic paint.

A. a lot of schools won't have the facilities for ceramics, so why worry? My school had a single pottery wheel and while our teacher could show us the basics he was certainly not great at it. We did that also not in class, but in a voluntary after-school activity, so it was not part of the teaching syllabus. As for your current class, get either your teacher or a patient fellow student to look what you are doing wrong. There are a lot of things you could be doing wrong and the easiest way to find out what's wrong is watching you. Try to get a more positive attitude towards using a pottery wheel, for if you use it while feeling impatient and frustrated it really won't help you. It's something for feeling patient and calm.

A. Ceramics can be any kind of art work fired in an oven called a kilm. Ceramics can be sculptures in different sizes and shapes. Pottery is the art of making pots or cups, bowls, vases etc. They can be fired in a kilm or made with papier-mache, wood, metal, clay, etc.

A. If you wanted to keep the cost a little lower than acrylic tubes/canvas, you could always get craft paint- I like "folk art" brand. These are acrylic, but thinner than whats in a tube. These are best on wood- not canvas. Michaels has a whole aisle of wood things to paint. I like to paint the lightweight balsawood-type boxes. If you decide to go with tubes/canvas, I'd recommend smaller canvases and/or canvas board. They even have a canvas pad of paper for acrylics. When you've been out of the creative habit for awhile- smaller works of art are less intimidating. email if you have questions- i'd be happy to discuss supplies.

A. A lot of the challenge will depend on the teacher, how knowledgeable they are about the subject and if they push you to do interesting work. If the instructor does not challenge you, will you be able to challenge yourself to make interesting work in this medium? In ceramics you have to be prepared to accept that some vessels just do not turn out. Some pieces that you love will be destroyed in the kiln, sometimes through no fault of your own. Vessels can be fascinating or terribly dull, depending on your point of view and your willingness to experiment. Are you prepared to challenge your views on what a bowl, a cup or plate can be? Can you see past students work to know if you want to do similar work? Also take into account that your… [cont.]

I'm all ready taking : photography, glass craft class, studio art and arts and communications. Thank you :) i'm not in college , i'm going to be a senior in high school

A. A lot of the challenge will depend on the teacher, how knowledgeable they are about the subject and if they push you to do interesting work. If the instructor does not challenge you, will you be able to challenge yourself to make interesting work in this medium? In ceramics you have to be prepared to accept that some vessels just do not turn out. Some pieces that you love will be destroyed in the kiln, sometimes through no fault of your own. Vessels can be fascinating or terribly dull, depending on your point of view and your willingness to experiment. Are you prepared to challenge your views on what a bowl, a cup or plate can be? Can you see past students work to know if you want to do similar work? Also take into account that your… [cont.]

Hamster Question!!?
Q. I made a pottery house in art class a few years ago. I recently aquired two robos and i was wondering is it safe to put in there? It is made from white clay was fired then glazed and fired again. I thought it would because there are a lot of ceramics in the pet stores for hamster, but i wanted to make sure. Thanks for your help!

A. If you know its "food safe" glazes and clay, then it would be fine and pretty cool idea! With it being ceramic and possibly heavy depending on size make real sure it cant accidently be tipped and squash your pet. You obviously also want to make sure your robos cant get stuck in any openings (windows) it may have.

Buying my first Kiln?
Q. I'm am getting my own art studio soon and I am going to be able to buy a kiln so that I can start doing ceramics and pottery. However, I know nothing about kilns and was wondering if anyone could shed some light on what I might be looking for. I've been on DickBLick.com but I'm just clueless.

A. You need to take some classes in ceramics before you buy a kiln. You'll have to learn how to properly fire a kiln before you buy one. It's not so simple as turning it on & coming back later to finished pieces. Don't waste thousands of dollars on something that may be too tedious for you to do long term.

Posing for friends and acquaintances?
Q. My wife got me into life modeling for one of her artist friends last month, and more recently in a classroom setting. She's been doing it for a few months, and she's been making some good contacts. I'm in a seasonal construction business so the extra winter income is nice. It took a little time to get used to posing, but it's no big deal now. My question concerns my wife's arts and crafts group...about 15 women from 30 to 60. They do ceramics, pottery, photography, painting, whatever. They're into oil painting now and my wife posed for them a few weeks ago. They want me to do the same, and I don't really have an issue with that...except my wife and I know some of these women socially. I don't necessarily see any red flags now that I'm… [cont.]

A. You haven't said whether or not you'll be expected to pose nude. If you are talking about nude posing and you're uncomfortable with it ask if you can drape a towel over yourself or wear a Speedo or something. I'm sure they'll be accommodating. If you're not expected to pose nude then it shouldn't be a problem at all.

can some one re-word this please?
Q. Mexico is known worldwide for its folk art traditions, mostly derived from the indigenous and Spanish crafts. Pre-Columbian art thrived over a wide timescale, from 1800 BC to AD 1500. Certain artistic characteristics were repeated throughout the region, namely a preference for angular, linear patterns, and three-dimensional ceramics. Notable handicrafts include clay pottery from the valley of Oaxaca and the animal figures from the village of Tonala. Colorfully embroidered cotton garments, cotton or wool shawls and outer garments, and colorful baskets and rugs are seen everywhere. Mexico is also known for its pre-Columbian architecture, especially for public, ceremonial and urban monumental buildings and structures.

Ianna Frisby It was my 6th grade class field trip to Sly Park when I first used the pottery wheel. I ve seen it on T.V. so I was excited that I was able to have that experience. In Sly Park we used a kick wheel to make our vessels. I could not decide how I should make my vessel since we each got a small block of clay it limited my choices on what I could make. Then I tried hand building and learned that you can do so much with so little clay. After that field trip I really wanted to take a ceramics class. When I started to attend college I noticed that Sierra… [cont.]
