A. The best way to find out is to search the online yellow pages for greenware/bisque in that area or call a paint your own pottery store in the area,they will usually be glad to help you get in touch with a destributor in your area. I use a few small home based greenware distributors in my area because they usually do a much better job setting each piece versus the ones that simply import from China.(there are no warnings on lead and other dangerous materials that will come from buying these pieces from places like that so you may be unknowingly putting yourself or your customers at risk.)

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.

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. In addition check… [cont.]

Help with pottery/ceramics questions?
Q. All relating to POTTERY/CERAMICS. For a high school class. 1 Difference between organic and geometric shape. 2 A 2-d element with height and width, such as a silhouette or outline, is called a(n)? How might this be used in ceramics? 3 A 3-d element with height, width and depth is called a(n)? 4 Why contrast is important to a work of art. 5 How would you define slip and greenware? 6 ___ helps to hold the clay particles together. It helps a fired clay piece look smooth and waterproof. (slip?)
Asked by vintagex50s - Fri Oct 13 17:52:12 2006 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. 1. An organic shape is something that would come from nature. Geometric would be more like a cube, square, cylinder..etc... 2. Not sure 3. Sculpture? 4. Contrast is important becuase it gives the work depth & dimension. 5. Slip is a mixture of clay an d water that acts as a bonding agent when building clay peices. Greenware is clay that has not been fired. 6. It could be slip...I'm thinking glaze. It is waterproof and makes the clay look smooth.

what do I need to start painting?
Q. So I want to make a special gift to my mother, she has never studied arts or something but she's a very talented creature. I want to give her a painting set, so she can get rid of stress while having some time for her own. She has some experience since she did pottery and ceramic for quite some years. What I need to know is what to buy, what kind of paint, brushes and stuff, and how much it will cost. Thank you people.
Asked by V - Sun Oct 18 22:42:34 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

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. I have a few suggestions in mind for your ceramic. Make the pottery like a teapot. ( You might not be able to make an extra lid, but you could instead just make a handle ofter the top opening. You could also make it as a pitcher, and maybe add some fruits and lemons to add to the effect. It can also be a face( or whole body ( I'm sure you'll think of something that you like! :))

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.
