This book will give ceramicists wishing to tackle this challenging area a broad insight into the problems involved, and offers practical advice and pointers to enable you to successfully incorporate clay with light and water in order to produce beautiful and creative pieces. Combining an attractive design in clay with the technicalities of electricity or pumps is actually quite difficult, and this handbook explains and simplifies things for the beginner, identifying the problems and offering solutions and advice. How to incorporate essential electric elements is obviously crucial to lighting and fountains, and when combined with clay has the added problem of having to design and source all the elements separately to be combined after firing. The book focuses mainly on lighting, and through the work of many international artists, showcases a broad variety of pieces to inspire the reader. Chapters on making lights from start ...

Ceramic Artists Celebrate the Human Form
It’s an absolutely unequalled photographic gallery: no other book has ever presented such a varied, captivating collection of contemporary ceramics based on the human form. The works range from representational to abstract, from artful realism to provocative surrealism, and many of them come from leaders in the field such as Judy Fox, Kurt Weiser, and Andy Nasisse. Kay Yourist has produced female forms that are smooth, minimalist vessels with only the slightest hint of breasts and belly. The simple, rounded features of Diane Lublinski’s black-and-white figures possess a fun, clown-like whimsy. Michael A. Prather’s mournful ceramic portraits have frowning faces and pointed dunce-like heads in a muted color palette.
Many of the ceramics come with detail images and illuminating artist’s commentary.

The development of paint-your-own ceramics studios, at which ready-made bisqueware and studio time for decorating it are sold, has made pottery decoration accessible to a wider public than ever before. Ceramics artist Jane Davies demonstrates how to decorate the surface of ready-made bisqueware and tiles using commercially produced decorating colors known as underglazes and other materials to create beautifully colored pieces. Practical step-by-step demonstrations of a variety of application methods-including brushing, shading, sponging, masking, sgrafitto, spattering, stamping, stenciling, marbling, majolica, and underglaze pencils-provide inspiration for decorating tiles, plates, cups, bowls, lamps, vases, and decorative platters. Davies also explores the creative possibilities of colored glazes, as well as decorating pieces after firing with acrylic paint and paper collage.
All of the techniques discussed are applicable to ...

details how to build a small kiln quickly, efficiently, and economically.

In addition,
Building Your Own Kiln
