You have a lot more access to a variety of glazes and underglazes. In Ceramics I over here, we only get to use engobes that typically turn out with iffy results (red is not RED! It is a puky, pale purple!) and the glazes. We use the underglazes and overglazes in ceramics II, but there isn't much of a selection or even a quantity of any sort for any color. Bleh.

What is your crackle piece shaped like? *wants to see!*

'Ello, Momochan!

We have more things right now than what we had at the beginning of the semester...but a lot of them are dried. :/ We mainly have underglazes, not many glazes.

It's shaped like a bowl? XD You'll eventually get to see it. XD Next week is the last week of class then it is exam week which is when I'll have my portfolio review. I'll let you know when I bring the stuff home. XD

Haha, alright.

Our class does engobing and glazing right along with the projects. Wetwork has to be done by the 20th and then exams are the first week of May.

I'll be on MSN. Cooking food and won't be too active on here for an hour. Shall return if I don't pass out afterwards!

I don't even know what engobing is. XD

We have to finish with wet stuff tomorrow. Glazing by tuesday I think or at least next week.

I get out before you do! :P

Which by the way...I will be kidnapping you for the VARF Pirate Weekend! Provided I can get off... XD But I don't know which day to go either at the moment...depends on which day I can get off since I am supposedly going to start working on sundays now.

at the beginning of my ceramics class, we only had access to 5 different glazes. we got to use some commercial glazes later in the semester. I liked the engobes best.

I still don't know what englobes are...I'm just assuming it is something ceramics 2 and up get to use.

YAY! Vampire Diaries very soon! Like in a couple of minutes soon! :D *happiness*

hm. I never watched that.

Like the oxides? Those are for the higher level classes here.

We have used stains before that were black, brown, and gold. Those were for our Jomon pots.

because those aren't for earthenware and that's what ceramics 1 uses and it is a low fire clay as well.

You know the clay pots for plants? Those are made of earthenware clays. Those are some kind of red clay.

*goes to get notes*

Quote:
Earthenware/Terra Cotta: A low-fire porous body, usually red or orange-tan in color due to the impurities and presence of iron. It is the most widely available type worldwide. There is also a term of "white earthenware", which is not true earthenware, but a freak of nature created by man to fire at low temperatures.
Keynotes on earthenware
Quote:
-fire to a low temperature (around 1800 F or cone 06-04)
-made from common surface clays
porous when fired
-an absorption of 10 - 15%
-can be white, red, tan, or brown
fragile, easily chipped
That's earthenware.

I also just looked up engobes.

Quote:
Engobe - a mixture between slip and glaze, it is applied to wet clay for decoration and generally has more of a sheen after firing than a slip

HI!

I just worked more on my art project that is due on monday...I have to wait for it to completely dry to where it isn't sticky anymore which takes quite a while...and they say acrylics dry fast...they do...but they leave a sticky residue until they are complete-completely dry.

*isn't in a box since she came on after Momo put people in a box*

We're doing a Pandora's Box kinda theme. We can either go with our own theme or stick to the actual Pandora's Box theme which is what I am doing. I'm painting the outside of the box to look like a piece of actual greek/roman pottery that is reddish-brown and black. The inside is basically going to be the same way but there will be other objects that do have color on them. Then on top of the box there will be a circular mirror with a hand on top of it (which the hand is representing the hand of fate). But I'm basically using animal symbolism on it.
