A cookie is also called a sacrificial saucer. These are pre-fired pieces of clay which are placed under your pieces in a glaze firing so that if glaze does run off your piece, then it stays on the cookie and doesn't run onto the kiln shelf and damage it.

A cookie is also called a sacrificial saucer. These are pre-fired pieces of clay which are placed under your pieces in a glaze firing so that if glaze does run off your piece, then it stays on the cookie and doesn't run onto the kiln shelf and damage it. They should be thin and flat to avoid warping the piece. They are reusable for 5 to 10 times. To protect the kiln and kiln shelves, cookies must be placed under all items in the kiln. The club will provide cookies but any which are damaged will be charged to you at $2 each (to cover cost of clay, kiln wash, firing etc). If you have damaged a cookie a note will be left with your fired piece. Show this to the supervisor when paying. If you wish to provide your own cookies they must meet the specifications below.

There will be salt firing, train kiln firing, kiln building, drum kiln fast firing, pit firing (notes from Mary, re pit firing, will be sent separately after registration) and a little bit of Raku. No previous wood firing experience needed. What to bring. 12 pieces of BISQUED stoneware clay no taller than 30 cm. No platters but small slab plates are ok. I recommend Clayworks LGH as it will fire in all the kilns with ease. There are plenty of slips for the salt kiln and glazes are provided. A pair of gardening gloves will be handy when stacking the wood. PPE is provided white stoking the kilns. Tea and coffee is available around the clock. Bring your lunch. There is a fridge and microwave in the studio. You can pre order lunch from the Lavender Farm 300 metres away. We are totally off the grid so if we deplete the battery storage the generator will top them up and the power will be restored. In this event a little patience is required. Weather: September and it’s spring but bring warm clothing for chilly nights.

Photo: Esteban Moctezuma Barragán on X. Woman’s $3.99 Thrift Store Find Is Ancient Mayan Artefact When Washington, D.C. resident Anna Lee Dozier picked up a vase at a thrift store in Maryland five years ago, she thought it a faithful reproduction of a Mayan artefact. “It did look old to me,” she told radio KVCR, “but not old-old, like 20 to 30 years old, maybe.” Turns out, it is much, much older than that. Dozier sent photos and the dimensions of the vase to the Mexican embassy, before the artefact was authenticated by Mexico’s National Institute of Anthropology and History. “I got an email saying, ‘Congratulations, it’s real and we would like it back,'” said Dozier. According to the embassy, the vase dates to between 200 and 800 C.E., during the Classic period of Mayan history, when its civilisation boomed in numbers, creative development, and major construction projects, including the monumental Tikal Temple.

How do you know when your artwork is finished? Do you step back and take a few deep breaths as you listen to your intuition? Or do you keep going, focusing on the smallest of details, and apply the law of diminishing returns? Labouring over whether a work is “complete” is common for creatives, and Karolina Romanowska believes working in ceramics has helped her overcome this inward block. “Clay moves with the maker. It’s alive and it has a spirit of its own,” says the Madison-based artist. “It’s a constant dance that demands discipline, and the nature of the material forces me to be finished. Once the piece comes out of the bisque fire, I can no longer change its structure. I have to accept it, nurture it, and decorate it one colour and texture at a time.” Courtesy the artist and This is Colossal click on an image to view larger or click here to view in your browser https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1720609465025-M8UPTHRPD900DKNDJRF5/karolina-1-1-scaled.jpg newsletters - August 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1720609465499-K3ULZ9Z6KOIHUBTV75QQ/karolina-2-1-scaled.jpg newsletters - August 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1720609468013-5FK2GXHVVFDZFHF0KICS/karolina-3-1-scaled.jpg newsletters - August 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1720609468692-S54WANCTYTF0D4T7RI7S/karolina-4-1-scaled.jpg newsletters - August 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1720609470505-NASA820LDT9SM9LFX4VT/karolina-7-1-scaled.jpg newsletters - August 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1720609472958-UZ07AIA7NMWBZYJSX807/karolina-9-1.jpg newsletters - August 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1603486119277-YBP9O67IVCX3CPHVASRH/SPC-newsletter-title-Tip.png newsletters - August 2024 We have popped all the published tips, hacks and techniques onto the ‘Tips’ page on our club website so that you can refer to them easily. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/02efa73b-6669-4aee-a04f-6e0eff1ce51b/cracked+handles.jpg newsletters - August 2024 - Make it stand out Fixing Cracks in Clay Handles Clay handles can be tricky to dry properly. They can quite often crack at the joint as your pottery dries out. Or, even if they are attached well, they might crack in the middle of the handle splitting it into two parts. But what can you do if your handle has cracked before it is fired? Do you always have to put your pottery in the reclaim bucket? Not always. There are ways to rescue cracked handles. Here are 5 of the best. Vinegar Slurry Take a small amount of bone dry clay. The amount of clay you need will depend on the size of the crack. But normally about 100g will be enough. You can always keep whatever is left over in a sealed jar for future use. Mix some vinegar with the clay until toothpaste consistency. Vinegar is a flocculant, which means that it causes the clay particles to attract one another. It is often used to thicken clay slurries. Before applying the paste to the cracked joint, dab some vinegar on the joint with a sponge or a soft brush. When the two surfaces are damp gently work the paste into the crack with a modelling tool. Once you have worked the clay paste in, smooth the surface with your finger. The crack may re-open a little as it dries. Simply repeat the process again refilling the crack. You may have to repeat the process 3 or 4 times. A Damp Box Another way to approach fixing handles is to rehydrate your greenware. One of the best ways of rehydrating pots and mugs evenly is by using a damp box. A damp box is any sealed container that traps moisture in the atmosphere to keep the air humid. You can make a damp box very easily. Simply pour a couple of inches of wet plaster mix into a plastic storage box. When the plaster has set, you keep it moist by adding water. Place your greenware on the plaster and put an airtight lid on the container. There needs to be enough water on the plaster to make it moist. But not so much that the greenware is sitting in a puddle. The water in the plaster will keep the atmosphere in the container damp. And it will rehydrate dry clay over a number of days. Once the cracked piece has been rehydrated, you can re-attach the handle using slip as usual. Re-Wetting the Mug and Handle Another way to rehydrate greenware is to wrap it in a moist cloth and cover it in a plastic bag. It’s best if the cloth is lightweight and untextured. This reduces the chance of getting an impression of the fabric on the pottery. Alternatively, you can wrap your pot in damp paper towels. However, you need to make sure the paper towels don’t dry out. If they dry out they can dry your mug out even more. Once the clay is workable again and has an even moisture level, you can slip and score the cracked handle. And then reattach it to the body of the mug. Spooze ( See last month’s Tips for the recipe ) Spooze has a thick paste-like slurry consistency. It creates hard bonds between cracks in dry clay. In addition to being good for fixing small cracks, it can be used to build up a thick layer to fill wider gaps. To use the Spooze mixture, moisten the two surfaces that you want to join with vinegar. Then paste a bit of the Spooze onto either surface and press them together. Hold for half a minute and then let the join dry. After the joint has dried you may need to sand off any Spooze that has squeezed out of the join. Off the Shelf Products Mayco’s AC-306 Clay Mender - simply apply a little to the two surfaces to be joined. Then score the moistened surfaces. Then apply another generous layer of the clay mender. Press the two surfaces together and hold them for about 20 seconds. Once the join has dried, you can sand away the excess. Apt II - Porcelain/Stoneware Enhancer is used to thicken all brands of slip and clay bodies. It adheres to greenware, bisque, and glaze-fired surfaces. For wet, dry, or stress-cracked greenware, apply Apt II and press pieces together to bond, then clean the excess and let dry. Fire normally. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1606288900560-41K8GEKGFZG4LIAS27GX/SPC+newsletter+title+Committee.jpg newsletters - August 2024 Our Committee President: Suzanne Bell Vice President: Rose Kelly Treasurer: David Grugeon Secretary: Amy Stevens Committee Members: Ken Bull, Barbara Fletcher, Clare Houston, Melina Wales Newsletter Editor: Ed Trost edtrost1961@gmail.com email: shorncliffepotteryclubinc@gmail.com follow us on website + instagram + facebook …Until next month… HAPPY POTTING! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/72eeb74f-35ad-4134-834c-fa7ec87a46e9/SPC+newsletter+footer+template.png newsletters - August 2024 https://www.shorncliffepotteryclubinc.com.au/newsletters/2024-july monthly 0.5 2024-07-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1603067433823-KMLIOYYG008VOJG0X1EE/SPC+newsletter+header+template.png newsletters - July 2024 JULY 2024 | ISSUE #046 Is this email not displaying correctly?

From her studio in Brussels, the artist layers crinkled cabbage leaves into a vegetal dwelling and twists a long sausage into a sculptural, worm-like shape. She outfits many forms with a bulb and cord, turning a wedge of blue cheese or a big pickle into a functional design. Most works begin with experimentation as Joulin explores the possibilities of a particular metallic oxide or other chemical compound. “For instance, titanium is unstable and iron is very coloring and the combination of (those) two oxide(s) gives a wide range of beige to brown, which was the start of exploring the texture of bread,” she shares. This specific research is on the artist’s mind at the moment as she searches for the proper glaze for a French brioche. www.instagram.com/eleonorejoulin click on an image to view larger https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1717742098491-HI0NAATV7AYNLRVZOZTM/joulin-1.jpg newsletters - July 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1717742098988-R4G6LZ4B76YT6XF67ABY/joulin-3.jpg newsletters - July 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1717742099916-QVNS263AFRDMOZRXFWNL/joulin-4.jpg newsletters - July 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1717742100421-5CF2RUXIGN3UEY8ADUX5/joulin-5.jpg newsletters - July 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1603486119277-YBP9O67IVCX3CPHVASRH/SPC-newsletter-title-Tip.png newsletters - July 2024 We have popped all the published tips, hacks and techniques onto the ‘Tips’ page on our club website so that you can refer to them easily. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/884820a0-e8b0-4ab3-a050-52f62a5c5d47/spooze+title.png newsletters - July 2024 - Make it stand out What is Spooze? When you have cracks in dried greenware, there are 2 ways of repairing them. One is the often-tried mixture of vinegar, toilet paper, and slurry. The other is "Spooze". So what is Spooze? The late Peggy Heer was a US potter, who in 1996 published a recipe for what she called "Spooze": consisting of one-third of fully dried chips or shavings of the clay body, one-third ordinary white vinegar, and one-third corn/glucose syrup. (If you want to stop the smell when it goes off, she suggests including a drop or two of peroxide). Mix it up, goop it well into the cracks, wipe off the excess, let it dry, then bisque as usual. Peggy Heer 1996 SPOOZE Recipe 1/3 dry clay body you are using 1/3 vinegar, ordinary white kitchen vinegar will do 1/3 corn/glucose syrup, white or brown A drop or 2 of peroxide. This keeps the Spooze from giving off a real stink. Customisation Make thinner by adding more of the corn/glucose syrup or vinegar. Make thicker by adding more of the dry clay body. The recipe is only a base to start with. I use my dried trimmings for my Spooze and have a Spooze jar for each clay body I use it – then wash tools, brushes etc after using as the Spooze will become cement like and is not good for tools or brushes, if they are left.

As with any new hobby or skill, you need to expect it to be difficult to start with. Take your time to get used to how the clay feels as you move it around on the pottery wheel. Practise, practise, practise. Then practise some some! There aren’t any shortcuts with throwing unfortunately, but the good news is that practise really does make perfect! Be prepared to make a lot of wonky pots before you start producing some that you’re happy with. Wedge your clay. Centering is much easier with homogenous clay. Wedge it or put it through a pug mill before you start throwing. Weigh your clay. Try practising using the same amount of clay each time you throw for greater consistency. Put your clay in the centre of the wheel head. Start as you mean to go on! If you begin to throw with the clay in the middle of the wheel, it’ll be a lot easier to get it centred later. Remember to add water. When the clay starts to feel hot in your hands, this is a tell tale sign that you need to lubricate your hands with more water. Anchor your arms into your sides/hips. This will stop the clay from throwing you around so that you can move it into the centre of the wheel. Cone up. If your clay isn’t centered, try slowly coning it back up and down again to bring it back into the middle of the wheel head. Repetition. Stick to the same simple forms to begin with, eg cylinders and bowls, before you start trying new shapes and techniques. Nail the basics first! Pay attention to speed. Although the wheel should be spinning quickly when centering, every move your hands make should be steady and deliberate - from coning the clay up and down, to taking your hands away from the clay to add more water. The pottery wheel speed may be fast, but your movements don’t have to be.

You may not have seen them around but these guys have been working tirelessly in the background for years and years. Probably too many than they would like to think. Gus a retired police officer has been instrumental in all facets of the club, from fixing and keeping the kilns running, collecting and moving the clay supplies to hosing out the shed after the floods. Without his can-do knowhow we would be in a lot worse shape. Ken is a semi-retired lawyer and has been a stalwart at the club for 15 years. He lost count of the number of Bunning’s sausage sizzles he has done but it would probably be over 40. That’s a lot of sizzle. Ken has also been the reason the club is getting a new kiln as it is his grant application skills that have brought in the money, for which we are all thankful. He is also the driving force and is championing on our behalf for the much needed toilet amenities for the club. Congratulations again to you both - well done! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/0713cd26-e52a-4188-a1ed-c1f893f2bef8/lifemembers+comp.png newsletters - May 2024 - Make it stand out Gus (left) and Ken (right) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1603395397312-32JM67APT9EK9K7SFNRI/SPC+newsletter+title+News.png newsletters - May 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/f601f8af-32ea-44b9-bcf1-3a2a35db71ed/magnet+comp+promo.jpg newsletters - May 2024 - Make it stand out Create a fridge magnet which celebrates pottery or the Shorncliffe / Sandgate / 4017 area.

Roman Head of Mercury Found by Tim Brinkhof - March 7, 2024 Archaeologists excavating Smallhythe Place in Kent U.K., have discovered the head of a small clay figurine of the Roman god Mercury—an “incredibly rare” find according to experts. According to the National Trust’s media release, the Mercury figurine was probably made between the 1st and 3rd century C.E. At the time, Roman polytheism still played an important role in the imperial provinces. Matthew Fittock, an archaeologist at the University of Reading who specialises in Roman ceramics, said such clay figurines “were mainly used by civilians for private religious practice in domestic shrines and occasionally in temples and the graves of often sick children.” Courtesy ArtNet News https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/e8535f3b-ae8d-4498-8ad7-d804309d1dcd/what+have+you+been+working+on+2.jpg newsletters - May 2024 - Make it stand out Why don’t you send in some photos and text for inclusion in the club’s newsletter?

If you have a substantial crack in your bisqueware you can use toilet paper mixed with slip to fill it in - as seen on The Great Canadian Pottery Throwdown to great effect. One contestant had fired a bowl and it had developed a serious crack near the base. The contestant didn’t have the luxury of starting over so she made a mix of toilet paper and slip and applied that to the affected area before glazing and firing. It must work like paper clay and be quite elastic during the firing process. The result was extremely good considering the size of the initial crack.

We will look at the structure of glazes, how the components are bonded together, and learn what may strengthen or weaken a glaze, whether in contact with food or drink or in the dishwasher. We will also look at the different ways that glazes can be tested for stability. We will look at which glaze components are hazardous from a food safety point of view, looking at both their toxic effects and their safe doses. We will also look at the legislation on food safety. The course is run over 6 weeks, with a 90 minute session every week, plus a discussion session at the end of the course.

In the process, they not only learned ancient humans from the region knew how to make porridge, but also that — much like their modern counterparts — they sometimes forgot to take it off the stove in time. The post goes on to note that barley was harvested and prepared in much the same way that contemporary German farmers produce green spelt, plucking and processing the grain when it is in a sprouted state. According to the authors, this would have given the prehistoric porridge a sweet flavor, challenging the notion that prehistoric food was bland and barebones, while indicating that prehistoric people had a highly differentiated sense of taste.

They are made from a mix of clay, colourant and water. They need to be applied to the piece using several layers to ensure the colour is detailed and vivid enough once fired clear overglaze - again as the name suggests this is a clear glaze that goes over the underglazes to lock in and enhance the colour and to make a clear glass surface that seals the piece glaze - a mixture of various minerals and compounds that when fired to a high temperature turn into a glass that binds to the clay surface. The glaze is usually applied to pottery items by dipping, spraying or painted with a brush glaze pencil - is a pencil that works much the same as underglazes and comes in various colours. Not to be confused with a normal lead pencil which will burn out in the firing process sgraffito (Italian "to scratch") - is a decorating pottery technique produced by applying layers of colour or colours (underglazes or coloured slips) to leather hard pottery and then scratching off parts of the layer(s) to create contrasting images, patterns and texture and reveal the clay colour underneath slip - sometimes referred to as liquid clay, is essentially a liquid mix of pieces of clay in water. It normally has a consistency like thick cream when mixed together but slip may be more liquid dependent on how you intend to use it wax resist - using molten wax to isolate where you don’t want the glaze to affect. It is a type of glaze decoration that involves the application of a coat of one glaze, then painting a wax pattern, then applying a second coat of the same or a different glaze. The wax resists the second glaze from adhering, allowing the painted design to show through re-fired glaze - sometimes a glaze just doesn’t work for many different reasons. Maybe it was applied too thinly or too thickly, maybe the kiln didn’t reach the right temperature, maybe the glaze itself was faulty. Lots can and does go wrong in the firing process, that is part of the beauty of pottery. You don’t always get what you expected If you find yourself in this predicament you can usually re-fire the problematic piece. To do this, first spray the surface of the piece with spray starch or sticky hair spray, this will help the new glaze to adhere to the surface. Once dry (it may take a while for this to happen - up to a couple of hours) then re-apply the glaze to the piece and fire accordingly important: Re-fire your piece sitting on a bisque fired ‘sacrificial’ plate - this will catch any excess glaze run-off. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1606288900560-41K8GEKGFZG4LIAS27GX/SPC+newsletter+title+Committee.jpg newsletters - April 2024 Our Committee President: Suzanne Bell Vice President: Rose Kelly Treasurer: David Grugeon Secretary: Amy Stevens Committee Members: Ken Bull, Barbara Fletcher, Clare Houston, Melina Wales Newsletter Editor: Ed Trost edtrost1961@gmail.com email: shorncliffepotteryclubinc@gmail.com and follow us on website + instagram + facebook …Until next month… HAPPY POTTING! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/72eeb74f-35ad-4134-834c-fa7ec87a46e9/SPC+newsletter+footer+template.png newsletters - April 2024 https://www.shorncliffepotteryclubinc.com.au/newsletters/2024-march monthly 0.5 2024-07-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1603067433823-KMLIOYYG008VOJG0X1EE/SPC+newsletter+header+template.png newsletters - March 2024 MARCH 2024 | ISSUE #042 Is this email not displaying correctly?

Instead of crafting jokes, he’s getting his hands dirty—quite literally—on the set of The Great Canadian Pottery Throw Down. The new reality TV show, adapted from Channel 4’s The Great Pottery Throw Down, its British counterpart, comes at a time of a surge in popularity of pottery. The show is hosted by actress Jennifer Robertson, who played Jocelyn Schitt in the beloved comedy series Schitt’s Creek, with Rogen serving as an executive producer and guest judge. Rogen’s journey into the wonderful world of clay began with his wife, Lauren Miller, who introduced him to his first pottery class. Since then, he hasn’t looked back, often found working on pieces between takes on set and, in one episode of the new series, he even presents one of his own creations—a tribute to his hometown—combining his love for Vancouver’s landscape with his fondness for, as he puts it, “smoking a lot of weed.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/c6fceba5-b7c5-412f-b9e6-188eaf22472c/seth+rogen+ceramics.jpg newsletters - March 2024 - Make it stand out by Seth Rogen - Not bad, don’t you think? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/98f655fc-91b9-419d-a1f1-be77dba02655/SPC+newsletter+title+Workshops.png newsletters - March 2024 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/9bd4c803-d773-4051-bc65-0a047c7f03f8/booked+out.jpg newsletters - March 2024 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1603486119277-YBP9O67IVCX3CPHVASRH/SPC-newsletter-title-Tip.png newsletters - March 2024 We have popped all the tips, hacks and techniques that have been published to date in these newsletters onto a ‘Tips’ page on our club website so that you can refer to them easily. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/964822b2-e5f8-4f6d-b07b-1448cade7c7d/clay+types.png newsletters - March 2024 - Make it stand out Choosing the Right Clay When it comes to pottery, choosing the right clay is crucial for achieving the desired results. With so many options available, it can be overwhelming to navigate the world of clay. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know about buying clay for pottery, from understanding the different types of clay to selecting the best clay for your projects. Clay is available almost everywhere and is inexpensive. It has multiple transitional states; when moist, it is pliable and elastic, and can be moulded into any shape. It can be incised or scraped when it reaches the consistency of chocolate, after drying slightly. As the water dissipates into a brittle state, the material dries further, depending on its thickness and the relative humidity. At this juncture, it can be re-softened by applying water. However the clay is formed, it will not be permanent until it is heated to extremely high temperatures. There are several types of clay available for pottery, each with its own unique characteristics and suitability for different projects. It is essential to understand these differences to choose the right clay for your needs. 1. Earthenware clay This clay is porous and fires at a lower temperature. It is ideal for beginners and is commonly used for making decorative pottery, tiles, and sculptures. Earthenware clays are low-fire clays. Low-fire clay is fired at temperatures ranging between 804°C and 1,154°C. When potters discuss the cone at which a particular variety of clay is fired, they are referring to the pyrometric cone system. This is a method for classifying the temperature and the effect of time with the firing. 2. Stoneware clay This clay is denser and fires at a higher temperature, resulting in sturdy and durable pottery. It is suitable for functional items like bowls, mugs, and plates. When wet, stoneware clays are often grey and plastic. Their fired hues range from pale grey and beige to medium grey and brown. Fired colours are significantly affected by the type of firing. Stoneware clays are typically fired at high temperatures, around 1,186°C - cones 5 to 10. Stoneware clays are referred to as “Stoneware” because the fired items exhibit characteristics similar to those of stone (hard, dense surface with varying hues). After maturing in a kiln, stoneware should form strong bonds with its glazes and be impermeable. It is durable and tolerant during the throwing and firing phases. Stoneware is a common type of clay used by production potters. 3. Porcelain clay Known for its delicate and translucent appearance, it is often used to create elegant and refined pottery. However, it can be challenging to work with due to its fine and less forgiving nature. Pure kaolin (kaolinite, or china clay), ball clay, feldspar (used as a flux), and quartz (silica) are the main components of porcelain. Mixing the body of porcelain clay with various minerals reduces the firing temperature and improves its workability. Porcelain holds fluidity and can be manipulated even when extremely thin to create translucent, delicate forms because it is composed of such minute particles. As a consequence of its lack of plasticity, it can crack and deform during the drying and firing processes due to its optimal density not being reached until the clay nears its melting point. 4. Ball clay Ball clay is the most plastic clay and contains very limited mineral impurities. It contains a large percentage of kaolinite and quartz, with around 10-25% mica. Ball clays occur naturally as very thin mineral-rich sediments or deposits. Ball clays lose colour on firing. At the greenware stage, it is grey. After being fired, it acquires a faint buff hue. When properly fired, it produces a delicate white colour, making it popular among potters. Ball clays are frequently utilised for floor tiles, toilets, basins, vases, and tableware due to its high plasticity and binding capacity. Ball clay by itself is typically too fine and slippery for use. It can be used for wheel throwing but is mainly used in slip casting and as an additive to other clay bodies. Factors to consider when selecting clay 1. Intended use Think about what you want to create with the clay. Are you looking to make functional items like plates and bowls, or are you more interested in sculptural pieces? Different types of clay have varying strengths and textures, so it’s essential to choose one that suits your desired end result. 2. Workability Consider your level of experience and comfort working with clay. Some clays are easier to manipulate and shape, making them more suitable for beginners. Other clays require more skill and experience to handle effectively. 3. Firing temperature Take into account the firing temperature of the clay. If you have access to a specific kiln or firing method, make sure the clay you choose can withstand those temperatures. All in all there are quite a few elements to consider when choosing clay. But fear not, if you are unsure as to what you need, just ask the Supervisor at your pottery session. SPCI carries a wide range of clays at discount prices and if we don’t have the one you want, we can usually get it in for you. Otherwise there are clay suppliers in the city that also carry a range of clays, however you will be paying a retail markup on the price with these businesses.

There are several points to consider before you purchase; Your skill level and speed – the speed of a wheel is directly related to the skill of the potter using it; the faster the wheel head rotates, the more experienced the potter needs to be. The size of the pieces you wish to throw – if you plan to make large ware in the future, you will need a wheel head that can take heavy amounts of clay i.e. larger wheel head, thicker shaft, speed lock control. The space that you have available in your studio – there are different sizes of wheel and the selection will depend upon the floor space that you have. Wheels also come in various styles of propulsion like kick, momentum and electric. Kick and Momentum wheels have been used since 4000BC. Today the wheel is normally driven by a form of electric motor, allowing the potter to concentrate entirely on their hands and the clay as they work. There are three main methods to get your pottery wheel turning. There are pros and cons to each, so it’s up to you to choose the one that best fits your preferences: Belt drive – The electric motor is attached to the pottery wheel using a belt, similar to a chain on a bike. Belt-driven pottery wheels are typically smaller, lighter, and more affordable, but belts wear out over time and will need to be replaced. Luckily, maintenance on belt-driven wheels is pretty straightforward, since all the components are separate. The motors are also less powerful compared to a direct-drive wheel. Direct drive – The electric motor is attached to the wheel itself and spins using a magnet system. These wheels are much stronger and more responsive than belt-drive units, but they’re also heavier and a bit more expensive. While they might cost a few more dollars, they’re also much more reliable. A direct-drive pottery wheel will likely last a lifetime. Kick wheel – If you’re not a fan of fancy modern electrical devices, or you plan on throwing where there’s no access to power, you can choose a kick-wheel setup. Kick-wheel pottery wheels have a spinning platform under the wheel. You spin the platform with your feet as you work to maintain and adjust the speed of the table. Without the motor, these are the most affordable pottery wheels, but they also take the most work and practice to use effectively. When choosing a pottery wheel for beginners, an electric-powered wheel is best. If you can spare a few extra dollars and don’t need to move the wheel around as much, a direct-drive unit will give you the most power, longevity and responsiveness. An example of new electric wheel prices 01/2024: Shimpo Wheel RK3E VL Whisper $2800 Shimpo Aspire Wheel RK5TF $1350 Venco Wheel No3 Series ll $1915 Venco Wheel Direct Drive Series ll $2530 There are other brands however these two have fantastic reputations in quality of build and longevity of service. You can find cheaper brand pottery wheels all over the internet, but there’s a good chance they’ll break or you’ll outgrow them quickly. It’s always a good idea to choose a quality wheel that will support your pottery hobby and let you grow your skills. Secondhand wheels come up for sale every now and then on Marketplace and Gumtree and range in price from approximately $600 to $1200 depending on condition and age. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1606288900560-41K8GEKGFZG4LIAS27GX/SPC+newsletter+title+Committee.jpg newsletters - February 2024 Our New Committee President: Suzanne Bell Vice President: Rose Kelly Treasurer: David Grugeon Secretary: Amy Stevens Committee Members: Ken Bull, Barbara Fletcher, Clare Houston, Melina Wales Newsletter Editor: Ed Trost edtrost1961@gmail.com email: shorncliffepotteryclubinc@gmail.com and follow us on website + instagram + facebook …Until next month… HAPPY POTTING! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/72eeb74f-35ad-4134-834c-fa7ec87a46e9/SPC+newsletter+footer+template.png newsletters - February 2024 https://www.shorncliffepotteryclubinc.com.au/newsletters/2024-january monthly 0.5 2024-07-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1603067433823-KMLIOYYG008VOJG0X1EE/SPC+newsletter+header+template.png newsletters - January 2024 JANUARY 2024 | ISSUE #040 Is this email not displaying correctly?

Clay needs to be kept moist to stay workable and it contains organic matter. These are perfect conditions for the growth of mould. So, what can you do if you open up your bag of clay and it’s growing green and black mould? Here are a few tips on how to get rid of mould on clay. Some ways to get rid of mould on clay include adding bleach, hydrogen peroxide, vinegar, Dettol, or Epsom salts to your clay. Alternatively, you can slice the mould off, or wedge it in. Some potter’s swear that a little mould on their clay makes it more plastic and easier to use. For them, getting rid of the mould is not the objective. They simply wedge it into the clay and start making pots.

There was a large range of items that members brought along to cast, from pottery items they had made themselves or other items from home that they wanted to replicate. Amy diligently reviewed all for suitability before we began. From there members paired off to work as a team, helping each other with each step of Amy's instructions... items were fixed into clay and barricaded with flashing ready for the big pour. The day was long (or was it only me that felt that way by the time I left? ) and a little messy, but it was informative, fulfilling, a lot of fun (there was a lot of laughter), a number of new friendships formed by members who usually attend the Club on different days, and only a few dry-tears of frustration when at the end of the day two of the twenty-odd items cast wouldn't budge out of the plaster. (Although I am happy to say that I successfully released mine at home later, with the help of a hacksaw!)

When Bake Off premiered in 2010, reality TV was best known as a blood sport. Competition shows in particular existed to raise and dash dreams, mine traumatic personal stories and trade friendships for double-crossing alliances. Bake Off, on the other hand, was inspired by quaint English village fetes. In the decade since, Bake Off has become one of Britain’s most-watched shows, and has spread its sticky fingers around the world. If you haven’t seen this television show style before, it basically go likes this. The skills may vary – between glass blowing, haircutting, woodworking, pottery and weapon making – but the format is the same. An eclectic collection of amateur enthusiasts gather in a theme specific setting (tent, shed, cabin, forge, etc) to battle it out across three challenges that showcase their gentle hobby. First they present what is called a “signature”: their take on a classic task that demonstrates foundational abilities. Then comes the dreaded “technical”: a skills test where competitors aren’t given the details ahead of time. Finally it’s the “showstopper”: a chance for competitors to demonstrate the reach (or limits) of vision and aptitude. One person is eliminated in each episode, and another is crowned best of the week. The Judges are a balance of sweet and nurturing versus tough but tender. Pottery judge Keith Brymer Jones has earned a reputation for his tendency to weep over the beauty of ceramics and the personal stories that inspire them. The Hosts too are kooky, distracting, encouraging and are usually loaded with innuendo and personality. These contestants come from all walks of life, and political and social realities; you’d rarely see them sharing the same space. But in the tent/shed/forge they come together to improve themselves, honour their families and do something they love. While a handful find post show fame, most return home to continue pursuing excellence off screen, after work or between school runs. In that way, all these shows succeed in asking us to imagine just how good we could be. The Guardian [ Ed - The Great Pottery Throwdown, Series 1 - 6 is viewable on Binge and Foxtel. It is a must see television show for all potters. Series 7 is in production now in the UK.

Each month we will bring to you snippets of their collected wisdom. Plus we have popped all the tips, hacks and techniques onto a ‘Tips’ page on our club website so that you can refer to them easily. July 2013 Grind up some dry clay of the type you are using, fire it in a bisque firing and keep it in a jar. It can be put through a fine sieve and mixed to a paste with sodium silicate to fill cracks in bisque ware. Dry and sand before firing. The grey sponge brushes that are very cheap in 2 Dollar shops are great for laying on smooth slip areas, especially when banding on the wheel. With a pair of scissors the foam edge can be cut which will enable several thin bands to be done at once. If you make really good fitting lids and at the leather hardstage they have the habit of getting stuck, pierce a small hole in the bottom of the pot and blow into it. Like magic the lid pops off with no damage to pot or lid. Then a small amount of clay rubbed over the hole seals it without a trace. That’s it for the Collected Wisdom book of tips and techniques, but don’t worry we will still have more tips coming next month. Remember you can look up all of the tips to date on the Tips page on the SPCI website. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1606288900560-41K8GEKGFZG4LIAS27GX/SPC+newsletter+title+Committee.jpg newsletters - December 2023 President: Douglas Ainsworth Vice President: Ken Bull Treasurer: Tamara Vitale Secretary: Rose Kelly Committee Members: Suzanne Bell, Barbara Fletcher, Gus Saunders Newsletter Editor: Ed Trost email: shorncliffepotteryclubinc@gmail.com and follow us on website + instagram + facebook …Until next month… HAPPY POTTING! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/72eeb74f-35ad-4134-834c-fa7ec87a46e9/SPC+newsletter+footer+template.png newsletters - December 2023 https://www.shorncliffepotteryclubinc.com.au/newsletters/2023-november monthly 0.5 2024-07-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1603067433823-KMLIOYYG008VOJG0X1EE/SPC+newsletter+header+template.png newsletters - November 2023 NOVEMBER 2023 | ISSUE #038 Is this email not displaying correctly?

Our little Members Gallery was busy with sales of $1046, not bad going consider the most expensive item sold was $65, congratulations Shirley. And Amy was delighted to make her first offical sale since entering the world of pottery. The smile on her face said it all. There were hand building workshops with delighted participants and I don’t recall talking about pottery so much in my life. A very special thank you to everyone who volunteered and also to those members who stocked our gallery with so many beautiful wares.

Plus we have popped all the tips, hacks and techniques onto a ‘Tips’ page on our club website so that you can refer to them easily. May 2013 Reconstituting dry clay tip Reconstituting dry clay? Put dry clay you have broken up in a bucket and cover with hot water. It breaks down much quicker than with cold water. Removing slops from bucket tip Getting the clay slops out of the bucket is much easier if you have lined the bucket with a cloth or bag made out of synthetic material. Recycling dried and wet clay tip At the end of a session, layer dried scraps of clay from handbuilding with slops from the wheel in an empty clay bag. Seal the bag and pummel it with your hands (or feet) and within a few days you should be able to turn it out onto an absorbent surface and knead it up. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1606288900560-41K8GEKGFZG4LIAS27GX/SPC+newsletter+title+Committee.jpg newsletters - November 2023 President: Douglas Ainsworth Vice President: Ken Bull Treasurer: Tamara Vitale Secretary: Rose Kelly Committee Members: Suzanne Bell, Barbara Fletcher, Gus Saunders Newsletter Editor: Ed Trost email: shorncliffepotteryclubinc@gmail.com and follow us on website + instagram + facebook …Until next month… HAPPY POTTING! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/72eeb74f-35ad-4134-834c-fa7ec87a46e9/SPC+newsletter+footer+template.png newsletters - November 2023 https://www.shorncliffepotteryclubinc.com.au/newsletters/2023-october monthly 0.5 2024-07-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1603067433823-KMLIOYYG008VOJG0X1EE/SPC+newsletter+header+template.png newsletters - October 2023 ISSUE #037 Is this email not displaying correctly?

The idea really is twofold, fitting more work in the kiln and giving up on the idea that bisque firing pots need to be stacked rim-to-rim or foot-to-foot. You can lay pots on their sides in a few layers and top the tumble stack by placing a platter as the last layer with zero issues. The general idea is that in the top third of the kiln stack, I start tumble stacking on top of standing pots by first placing sideways pots and continuing up, with wide forms ending up on top, or lots of small pieces stuffed all around.

Plus we have popped all the tips, hacks and techniques onto a ‘Tips’ page on our club website so that you can refer to them easily. April 2013 Waterproof pots This is a reliable way to waterproof pots which are to be used as vases (e.g. raku, crazed earthenware, pit pots, sawdust fired pots). Chop or grate candle or paraffin wax into small pieces. Put these into the pot to be waterproofed (you will have to estimate the quantity to be used). Place the pot in the oven and turn on heat. When the wax has melted, using oven gloves or potholders, lift pot out. Turning the pot as you do when glazing the inside, tip wax out into a bucket or dish of cold water. The inside of the pot will be completely wax lined. The wax tipped out will have solidified when hitting cold water and can be lifted out ready to be used again in the future. More than one pot can be put in the oven at a time, and if at any time the wax liner is perforated, it is a simple matter of putting it back in the oven again, remelting and swilling about. Transferring designs Transferring complicated or simple repetitive designs onto clay is easy. Trace your design onto a piece of tracing paper, then on the reverse side of the drawing, go over the lines with a broad tipped whiteboard marker. When you are ready lay the paper down on the damp surface, redraw over the top and the design will be transferred to your pot. It can be used again and again, adding more whiteboard marker lines if necessary. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1606288900560-41K8GEKGFZG4LIAS27GX/SPC+newsletter+title+Committee.jpg newsletters - October 2023 President: Douglas Ainsworth Vice President: Ken Bull Treasurer: Tamara Vitale Secretary: Rose Kelly Committee Members: Suzanne Bell, Barbara Fletcher, Gus Saunders Newsletter Editor: Ed Trost email: shorncliffepotteryclubinc@gmail.com and follow us on website + instagram + facebook …Until next month… HAPPY POTTING! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/72eeb74f-35ad-4134-834c-fa7ec87a46e9/SPC+newsletter+footer+template.png newsletters - October 2023 https://www.shorncliffepotteryclubinc.com.au/newsletters/2023-september monthly 0.5 2023-09-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1603067433823-KMLIOYYG008VOJG0X1EE/SPC+newsletter+header+template.png newsletters - September 2023 ISSUE #036 Is this email not displaying correctly?

I haven’t touched clay since high school but found it again last year. I attribute my growing love for it to a feeling of well-being that I was missing and a connection to a like minded community. My pieces are generally ‘the weirder the better’. Currently I have one of my organic candelabras showing in a gallery in Paddington. I look forward to connecting with you on a Thursday morning. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1998f611-b6b3-4d1d-aaf9-01c36928c12d/supervisor+Amy+IMG_0968.jpg newsletters - September 2023 - Hi, I’m Amy And I'm new to the pottery world, but I'm quickly realising how amazing this craft can be and can't seem to get enough of it!

I currently am not a regular supervisor but may come in to fill in from time to time to wear the orange apron. My history with the club is that I was a regular Thursday night and Saturday supervisor for a number of years and helped with the kilns until I moved away. I do call in on occasion and am always willing to lend a hand. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1603395397312-32JM67APT9EK9K7SFNRI/SPC+newsletter+title+News.png newsletters - September 2023 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/434b2e8d-c0de-4413-937b-952872179a79/spring+fever+exhibition.jpeg newsletters - September 2023 - Make it stand out It’s on NOW! www.suncoastclayworkers.org.au https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/eb010dab-b201-441d-830d-a14966a903bb/north+pine+potters.jpg newsletters - September 2023 - Make it stand out Wide Bay Burnett Potters Annual Potters Convention 2023 Hosted by North Pine Potters, Dayboro Rd, Petrie Markets Pottery Barn (Old Petrie Town) 9am to 3pm, 16 & 17 September 2023 901 Dayboro Rd, Whiteside, North Brisbane More details https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/f9f62913-e16b-40ae-9c81-9164b8222219/Screenshot+2023-08-27+at+8.13.37+pm.jpg newsletters - September 2023 - Make it stand out nancie lane studio & ! , & , & . . , . @. www.nancielane.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/b7469a01-06c9-476d-b1ce-926bf91a79dd/pcyc+new+club+alert.jpg newsletters - September 2023 - Make it stand out You may have seen this in the Courier Mail recently but it looks like the PCYC is going to build a new centre in the next few years.

It is a collection of tips and techniques gathered and published in their newsletters since the 1960’s. Each month we will delve into this vast archive of information regarding all things ceramics and bring to you snippets of their collected wisdom. Plus we have popped all the tips, hacks and techniques onto a ‘Tips’ page on our club website so that you can refer to them easily. April 2013 If you are photographing glazed pots try this. Spray artists' matt finish fixer (used to fix charcoal drawings) on the "hot spots". You will get better photos and the fixer is easily removed from the pot afterwards. Zip seal bags are excellent for keeping small pieces of clay in working condition (e.g. teapot spouts and lids) till ready to be assembled. They can be reused over and over again and come in many sizes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/20f82a1e-e84f-40c9-af18-67cb0067c45b/pottery+log+app+graphic.jpg newsletters - September 2023 - Make it stand out This app which only works with Apple products, is free and a great way to keep a record from start to finish of your projects, including your photos.

The small kiln was repaired by the electrician and now functions properly. Don’t forget to put your mark on your ceramic piece as otherwise it won’t be fired. If you forget to do it and your piece is dry, there is some underglaze in the kiln room so that you can put your mark on it using that. It is underglaze so it won’t run or stick to the firing shelves. Safety Issue It is critical that the studio is kept dust free and ventilated, and that masks are worn when sanding pottery, mixing glazes and loading kilns, as the risk of silicosis is a real danger for potters. So grab a mop whenever you have a spare 10 minutes and give the floors a once over. No sweeping – just mopping. And don’t forget those masks! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/f11d4c23-6747-4dc9-8eb0-5cbc9f0f5456/APRON+FOR+SALE.jpg newsletters - August 2023 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/d2db5c03-5c18-42f8-b2e7-473064246d43/clean+up+message+03.jpg newsletters - August 2023 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/3e189646-22b3-41f0-b132-223358824174/tara%2Bpots.jpg newsletters - August 2023 - Do you know anyone that shows an interest in your pottery?

Take a small spirit level that fits within the splash tray of your wheel. Lay it across the wheelhead in various directions and make sure it is level at all times. If not, adjust the legs of wheel (if adjustable type), or pack underneath the feet to correct level. Still having trouble centering? Take a piece of board, say, 30cm x 12cm × 1-2cms, and holding firmly at both ends and arms braced on your knees, slowly and evenly push board toward centre of wheel, keeping the lower edge on wheelhead.

The nascent club leased a shop in Pier Avenue Shorncliffe and held its first ever meeting there on 8 June 1983!! Before that, Shorncliffe Pottery Club (then-unincorporated) had its informal beginnings in the 70s under the Shorncliffe house of an active local couple, Herbie and Carmel van Houtum of the then “Dutch Australian Social Club of Sandgate” (DASCOS). When the Pier Avenue shop was subsumed into the redevelopment of St. Patrick’s College Shorncliffe, the club relocated to under the 1911-12 Sandgate Town Hall. This was probably not a great idea with stoneware kilns firing to 1260° Celsius! And when Brisbane City Council wanted to refurbish the historic Town Hall, we were once again looking for a new home. Sandgate PCYC came to the rescue and in early 2006 invited us into a new 9x5 Titan shed they'd built, located out the back of the main PCYC Sandgate Hall in Kempster Street. The club has been there ever since. We incorporated again in September 2020, and operate autonomously there with the PCYC as our landlord on a "Community Facility Lease" they hold from Brisbane City Council. Happy 40th Birthday, Shorncliffe Pottery Club Inc!!!! Thanks to Ken B. and Cheryl R. for the story Hello Potters Congratulations to the potters on achieving such a historic milestone! It takes the sum of very committed members to achieve this sort of feat. We should all feel very proud of what we have achieved, and continue to achieve, as we collectively push the club forward on to new and exciting journeys. Well, it is truely a bit nippy down in the shed on a Thursday night now. Only the diehard potters are braving the elements. But the weekly fix for getting clay on our hands is strong, no matter the weather. So there is still a good turn out. Please note that the weekday sessions are now 10am to 2pm. The Ekka is just around the corner I hope that some of you put an entry in this year. The entries have closed so if you missed out this year there is always next. Also the Crackpot Challenge is on again, see below for details. And don’t forget the Moreton Bay Art Prize is on until 19 August 2023, if you are looking for an artistic thing to do on the weekend. There is a lot happening in the world of ceramics nowadays, so if you see an exhibition or something that might be useful to other potters write it down and send it in to us here for inclusion in the newsletter. There are also some more useful pottery tips from the ‘Collected Wisdom’ newsletters further down that may make your pottery life much easier. Plus we have popped all the tips, hacks and techniques onto a ‘Tips’ page on our club website so that you can refer to them easily. We really want to see our talented members’ work, so upload your pics to our instagram or facebook page, or email them for inclusion on social media.

However the smaller kiln is not behaving properly and not reaching the correct temperature – so we have to wait for the electrician to come back and repair it. With all things going well and the kiln gods smiling down on us, this should occur by the time you read this newsletter. Otherwise it is continuing on with the big kiln and firing will be slower in its execution. So bear with us. Thanks to Gus for collecting some more clay from our supplier. Now you should be able to get what you need, to create your ceramic masterpieces.

November 2012 It is very annoying to get thick dribbles on a pot during glazing. Efforts to remove them by rubbing with finger often results in removing glaze on body of pot and getting thin patches. Some people use a knife but this can cause thick areas to flake off. The best tool is a small kitchen sieve, which you can pick up cheaply at the supermarket. Use the curved surface to allow specific spots to be rubbed down without touching the other areas.

We are still waiting for the kiln repair to happen. I am more then impatient to get our kilns up and running at their optimal efficiency as soon as possible. A few requests to help the kiln crew. There has been some frustration in identifying pieces and finding people’s shelves. 1} Please show your marks/signatures on your shelf. Put it on some paper and tape it to your shelf where we can see it. 2} Please remember to put your name or mark on your piece. We have provided underglaze by the weighing scales to do this. If unmarked they won’t be fired. Also, some people have four signatures/marks. It would help the kiln crew and simplify our job if you went to one mark only. 3} If you are working at the shed please request a shelf, so we have a place to put your fired pieces. If they are left on the shelf in the kiln room for over two months they will be discarded. In recent newsletters, we have been talking about differences in types of clay; stoneware (high fire) midfire and earthenware as well as porcelain. Midfire is often called a stoneware but fires at a lower temperature. Midfire is designed to mimic stoneware/high fire. One main reason to use midfire is it fires at 20 degrees below stoneware and this can save 30% of firing costs. It is hard to believe that a 20 degree difference in temperature can make such a difference at over 1200 degrees. Porcelain is hard to work with and has a tendency to warp and crack. Clay manufactures have included additives etc. which make it better to work with. Most clay is made from organic materials. Porcelain, on the other hand is made from a mixture of kaolin, silica, quartz, feldspar and a few other materials. Kaolin is a key component which gives porcelain its light structure and porosity. Porosity being the empty spaces within the clay which gives it it’s lightness. YES. I had to look porosity up. Compared to other forms of clay porcelain clay can be fired at high temperatures. So the clay body is firmer and has a higher hardness and durability. This allows it to be thinner and a have a more delicate translucent finish.

The kilns continue to be work horses. We are still waiting impatiently for the electrician to come with new coils and put in new thermacouplers. Now for some more trivia. Glazed Earthenware Vs Glazed Stoneware When pottery is glazed, where the glaze meets the underlying ceramic body is called the clay glaze interface. The glaze bonds to the clay body. The strength of the bond depends on the type of clay used.. When earthenware is glazed, the glaze grips the rough texture on the surface of the pottery. Glaze on earthenware adheres to the outside layer of the clay. Due to this it is not as resilient as stoneware and will not wear as well. It will chip easier than a stoneware piece. With stoneware the clay and glaze become molten and intermingle with the silica/glass moving into the porous parts of the clay becoming one piece.

Lung Foundation chief executive Mark Brooke said silicosis risks were not limited to cutting benchtops. "We know that there are different industries and different hobbies where you would inhale particulate matters," Mr Brooke said. "Certainly, for people who are working long term in industries like ceramics, it's important that they take all the preventative measures possible." He said better awareness was needed across the board to prevent irreversible lung damage. "It's really important that the message gets out their that regardless of what industry you work in, taking the necessary preventative steps is vital for your lung health." So remember to wear a mask whenever you sand a pot, wipe down a dusty work area or load a kiln. This is important for your own health as well as others. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/9024d12f-a830-4efe-b7d7-ab5e9b7256dd/SPC+newsletter+title+IN+MEMORIAM.png newsletters - May 2023 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/76777325-3980-4736-80cf-4e271a90f556/flowers%2Bfor%2Bjudith.jpg newsletters - May 2023 - Make it stand out It is with deep sadness that I must share the passing of Judith H. on Easter Saturday 8 April 2023.

August 2011 A rough and ready test to check consistency of a dipping glaze: Dip dry finger in and out fairly quickly into the well-stirred glaze. If you can see the colour of your finger through the glaze it is too thin. The shape of the fingernail should be discernable through the totally opaque layer of glaze. This is a general way of testing - but remember, some glazes are best a little thick and others thin. Get to know your glazes and their potential when used at their correct thickness. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1606288900560-41K8GEKGFZG4LIAS27GX/SPC+newsletter+title+Committee.jpg newsletters - May 2023 President: Douglas Ainsworth Vice President: Ken Bull Treasurer: Tamara Vitale Secretary: Rose Kelly Committee Members: Suzanne Bell, Barbara Fletcher, Linda Rosenthal, Gus Saunders Newsletter Editor: Ed Trost email: shorncliffepotteryclubinc@hotmail.com and follow us on website + instagram + facebook …Until next month… HAPPY POTTING! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1625808660057-QHYEJJAJMKOR46QHEAA4/SPC+newsletter+footer+template.png newsletters - May 2023 https://www.shorncliffepotteryclubinc.com.au/newsletters/2023-april monthly 0.5 2024-07-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1603067433823-KMLIOYYG008VOJG0X1EE/SPC+newsletter+header+template.png newsletters - April 2023 ISSUE #031 Is this email not displaying correctly?

Right now, there is a back up on stoneware as the kiln is not firing to temperature – so waiting for kiln refurbishment. Just leave your work on your shelf as there is no room in the kiln room. We should have an idea of what needs to be done to the kilns on 29 March when the kiln repair man is coming to check them out. Hopefully they won’t be out of commission for long. We will keep you posted. Now for a little pottery trivia. There are three main types of clay: Stoneware Earthenware Porcelian Each of these is different and has qualities that distinguish them from one another. What is stoneware? Stoneware ceramics are hard and strong and can hold liquid. Stoneware after bisquing is usually fired over. 1200°C to about 1280°C. Different glazes mature at different temperatures within that range. They can also change colours when fired to different temperatures. Vitrification happens during bisque firing which changes clay particles. Particles move closer to each other during firing and surface particles bond together. This is why it is easier to handle pieces that have been bisqued without breaking them. Bisque temperature is about 1000°C. Then the next step is to glaze and the temperature of the firing is increased to 1260°C to 1280°C and in some cases higher. The clay after bisquing remains porous enough to accept glazes which can absorb into the clay. During the higher firing the silica, which is used in making glass and becomes molten and moves into the porous holes created during bisque process. The silica should start to become molten around 800°C. Think of a sponge with holes and those holes fill up with a solid material. This next statement is important to remember. Silica is also one of the ingredients which causes Silicosis which is why when sanding pots, or around clay dust, we should always wear a mask, sand outside and clean up with water. It is this process which creates stoneware pots which are watertight, strong and resilient. Basically firing in the kiln creates a physical and chemical process that matures the clay from a malleable substance into your durable creations. More next month on other types of clay.

From ancient vessels to figurines revealing the daily lives of people from antiquity, ceramics have been integral to cultures worldwide for millennia.

Clay: Collected Ceramics is a celebration of ceramics from two collections: Museum of Brisbane’s and Kylie Johnson’s. It is accompanied by Commune, a display of single pieces contributed by more than 300 makers responding to MoB’s largest community callout to date.

It is a collection of tips and techniques gathered and published in their newsletters since the 1960’s. Each month we will delve into this vast archive of information regarding all things ceramics and bring to you snippets of their collected wisdom. March 2011 A pizza cutter may be used in conjunction with a straight edge or ruler to produce clean lines when cutting slabs - you do not get the annoying crumbly bits a needle produces and it does not drag and distort the clay like a knife does. April 2011 Oiled stamps: when you require intricate, unpressed decoration from metal, wood or plastic stamps, coat these with vegetable oil and they will easily release with no clay stuck in the stamp's fine detail. June 2011 Old Tupperware storage containers make brilliant boxes to keep small clay pieces in when you want to keep them wet. Have found that after 12 months clay is still the same consistency. They can be bought very cheaply at secondhand stores and markets. Cheaper brands work nowhere near as well and over time the lids split. August 2011 To prevent underglaze or overglaze coloured decoration from smudging, spray over the decoration with a light coat of hairspray, wait until dry, and spray again. This seals the colours and decoration can then be handled without damage. Lemonade or a solution of sugar and water sprayed over colours is also effective. The sprayed medium fires out. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/fb5d8f90-b7c3-488a-a34b-b8aac6043a2c/underglaze-smudging-and-bleeding-1.jpg newsletters - April 2023 - Make it stand out Photo courtesy the pottery wheel https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1606288900560-41K8GEKGFZG4LIAS27GX/SPC+newsletter+title+Committee.jpg newsletters - April 2023 President: Douglas Ainsworth Vice President: Ken Bull Treasurer: Tamara Vitale Secretary: Rose Kelly Committee Members: Suzanne Bell, Barbara Fletcher, Linda Rosenthal, Gus Saunders Newsletter Editor: Ed Trost email: shorncliffepotteryclubinc@hotmail.com and follow us on website + instagram + facebook …Until next month… HAPPY POTTING! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1625808660057-QHYEJJAJMKOR46QHEAA4/SPC+newsletter+footer+template.png newsletters - April 2023 https://www.shorncliffepotteryclubinc.com.au/newsletters/2023-march monthly 0.5 2024-07-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1603067433823-KMLIOYYG008VOJG0X1EE/SPC+newsletter+header+template.png newsletters - March 2023 ISSUE #030 Is this email not displaying correctly?

People have been great about remembering to put their name/mark on their pots and have it match the firing paperwork. Thank you as that means we can unload the kiln and get your pots back to you easily and it saves us time. Our big news is from the glaze room. Catherine supplied some wire and I dragged Phil (husband) in so we could snake proof the glaze room. The “we” is I held the hammer and he did all the work. Let’s hope it is effective. Only thing left is to put some expanding foam in the corner. Catherine has already gotten in there and cleaned up after the glazes the snakes knocked over. Katrina gets a gold star for cleaning up snake/possum poo. THANK YOU KATRINA. Remember the Easter Show is coming up in beginning of April so get your creations in for firing so there are no last minute pressures. MAJOR CHANGE STARTING THIS YEAR.

It is a collection of tips and techniques gathered and published in their newsletters since the 1960’s. Each month we will delve into this vast archive of information regarding all things ceramics and bring to you snippets of their collected wisdom. June 2004 Pots too dry? To bring overly dry pots back to leatherhard without cracking, wrap and line with wet newspaper and leave for 24 hours. They should then be ready for turning. September 2004 Handbuilding: Keep a large wet sponge on a plate next to you when working, This will provide just enough dampness to wipe fingers on or tools when needed, Hard Clay: If clay has become too hard to use, cut it into pieces, spray with water, and microwave on high for 5 minutes in a plastic bag. The result should be soft. October 2005 Broken bisqueware: Mend using paper clay slip. Wet the broken pieces extremely well. Join these pieces to the work using very wet paper slip (do not glaze at this stage). Bisque the repaired work, if there are further cracks use more paper clay slip and bisque again.. December 2005 Raku: For excellent crackle results, fire your pot, take out of the kiln and allow to rest for about one minute. When glaze ‘pings’ put the pot into the reduction container, cover with paper, allow to flame, then close cover. Leave for about two minutes lift the lid and allow the paper to reignite. Close the cover again and leave to reduce and cool normally. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/80f81cbf-4037-4649-896b-3e5a8fd7bf60/raku+crackle+vessel.jpeg newsletters - March 2023 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1606288900560-41K8GEKGFZG4LIAS27GX/SPC+newsletter+title+Committee.jpg newsletters - March 2023 President: Douglas Ainsworth Vice President: Ken Bull Treasurer: Tamara Vitale Secretary: Rose Kennedy Committee Members: Suzanne Bell, Barbara Fletcher, Linda Rosenthal, Gus Saunders Newsletter Editor: Ed Trost email: shorncliffepotteryclubinc@hotmail.com and follow us on website + instagram + facebook …Until next month… HAPPY POTTING! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1625808660057-QHYEJJAJMKOR46QHEAA4/SPC+newsletter+footer+template.png newsletters - March 2023 https://www.shorncliffepotteryclubinc.com.au/newsletters/2023-february monthly 0.5 2024-07-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1603067433823-KMLIOYYG008VOJG0X1EE/SPC+newsletter+header+template.png newsletters - February 2023 ISSUE #029 Is this email not displaying correctly?

We are starting off with all kiln shelves in good condition. Gus and I took the ones with glaze that had ran and ground the shelves down. Gus handles the grinder as I still have problems holding it. The shelves are in the kiln now having been bat washed. So, they are all cured and ready to start back to work. In saying that please take care cleaning all glaze off bottom of pots and don’t put glaze on too thickly as that is one of the major causes of glaze running onto shelves. Also, remember to leave a clean edge at the bottom of thee pot. If in doubt leave us a note and we will put it on a sacrificial plate. We would love to have more sacrificial plates to help protect the shelves. If you would like to help make some we can give you some clay. Also, if one gets ruined by your glaze running – please replace it. MAJOR CHANGE THIS YEAR IF YOUR NAME OR MARK IS NOT ON YOUR POT, OR DOESN’T MATCH THE PAPERWORK ON THE FIRING FORM – IT WILL NOT BE FIRED.

But life after sport in a small Adelaide art studio, surrounded by eight other beginners, she sat staring at a block of clay. After decades of strict training routines and working with coaches, Meares was frozen by the endless possibilities. But that first class was a turning point in Meares's personal life post-sport, the catalyst for new friendships and renewed self-confidence. "My first [piece] was a bit wonky and I had a few that just fell over. The first one that I did make really fell apart [when I was] trying to get it off [the wheel]." "So, it taught me more patience and mindfulness. It's just the ability to turn my head off to really get into a creative space to just sit, be present, and focus on trying to make something." It wasn’t long before the shed in Meares' backyard became an art studio. "In the end, I liked [pottery] so much that I sold my sauna – which I had as an athlete – to buy myself my own wheel," Meares said. She and her neighbour Carol quickly established a weekly pottery night, giving them both a break from the evening parenting routine and letting them hone their skills. Meares and her family moved to New Zealand earlier this year, but the new adventure came with a caveat – the at-home pottery studio had to be re-created. Pottery is also proving to be a great way to make new friends, with Meares' neighbours eager to give the wheel a go. "Like our pottery nights back in Adelaide I will have a red wine, and water bubbles, for people to just relax and have some nibbles as well.

Reclaiming works best when the clay is bone dry. Here is a simple technique to speed the drying process. Purchase a wastepaper container from an office supply store. Get one that is made out of expanded metal so it contains many holes. These containers are usually sprayed with paint, so it does not rust but you could use a plastic bin as well, as long as it has mesh like sides. When you trim or carve your pieces, throw the scraps in the container to air dry. It will take half the time to dry and you can wash out the empty container with water to easily clean it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/482e568c-c4bb-47cc-bf69-1cb806394aa4/collected+wisdom+title.jpg newsletters - February 2023 - Make it stand out 50 Years of Handy Hints We are fortunate to have received a very useful book titled “Collected Wisdom – 50 years of handy hints” from the Ceramic Study Group, Australia supplied to us by Clare H. from her trip to Gulgong.

March 2004 Unwanted wax removal: The usual way to remove any unwanted wax is to re-bisque the pot, but did you know that turps can also be used? Dip a cloth or paper towel in turps and work it onto the waxed area, this may have to be repeated a few times depending on how much wax you want to remove. Once the turps has evaporated the pot can be glazed in the usual manner. Do not do this near any heat source! Microwave wax removal: To remove unwanted wax from a pot, microwave it on high for 5 minutes – saves re-bisqueing. Oxide removal: When bisque ware is decorated with oxides a mistake can mean considerable mess and delay. If you use a wet sponge to clean the pot the oxide may become smeared, difficult to remove, and the pot must be allowed to dry before decorating can resume. Try using a pencil eraser - it efficiently removes oxides without wetting the pot and can remove precise spots. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/33083ab4-292a-4450-952a-981aa4267190/eraser.jpg newsletters - February 2023 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1606288900560-41K8GEKGFZG4LIAS27GX/SPC+newsletter+title+Committee.jpg newsletters - February 2023 President: Douglas Ainsworth Vice President: Ken Bull Treasurer: Tamara Vitale Secretary: Rose Kennedy Committee Members: Suzanne Bell, Barbara Fletcher, Linda Rosenthal, Gus Saunders Newsletter Editor: Ed Trost email: shorncliffepotteryclubinc@hotmail.com and follow us on website + instagram + facebook …Until next month… HAPPY POTTING! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1625808660057-QHYEJJAJMKOR46QHEAA4/SPC+newsletter+footer+template.png newsletters - February 2023 https://www.shorncliffepotteryclubinc.com.au/newsletters/2023-january monthly 0.5 2024-07-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1603067433823-KMLIOYYG008VOJG0X1EE/SPC+newsletter+header+template.png newsletters - January 2023 ISSUE #028 Is this email not displaying correctly?

Firstly I would like to thank all the members who attended our AGM in December. It was heartwarming to see so many friendly faces, long standing members and many, like me, a bit of a newbie. Special thanks must be made to those members who raised their hands and took on roles within the club’s committee. Some of you do extraordinary amounts of work for the club and it doesn’t go unnoticed. And for that we should all be extremely grateful. This year saw the implementation of a kiln supervisors group. We have some fresh faces onboard and this new system seems to be running like a well oiled machine. I believe the tally for the year was 101 loads fired. I would like to take this opportunity to remind you just how truly unique our club is. Our home may be a tin shed but we are blessed with facilities beyond some clubs grasp. Also and most importantly, we are blessed with many members who hold great knowledge when it comes to playing with clay. My greatest joy as a supervisor is that exchange of process, successes and at times absolute disasters. This is a journey through that process and one that should be shared and enjoyed with your fellow club members. Remember, we should all be here to support each other. Our workshop committee are once again planning events for 2023 so keep your eyes on our socials and by reading our newsletters. For those of you who haven’t renewed your membership, now is the time. I hope you have all had a wonderful festive season, and even had a chance to play with clay at home. The shed reopens on Tuesday the 24th of January and I look forward to seeing you all in the year ahead. Kind regards Douglas Ainsworth President, SPC Inc. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1603395272010-EI51S0YBBGFVRCI393PN/SPC+newsletter+title+Open.png newsletters - January 2023 Tuesday + Thursday + Saturday Mornings 9:00am—1:00pm Wednesday Mornings 10:00am—2:00pm Thursday Evenings 6:00pm—9:00pm SESSION FEE $7.00 per visit, payable at the time by debit or credit card at the shed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/f156af3b-6f80-4da4-a3d5-7fcb7cd08b4b/Xmas-holidays-graphic+2022.jpg newsletters - January 2023 - Make it stand out New Year Closure The club remains closed until 24 January.

That’s basically 2 firings a week. You have all been busy and consequently so have we. We have a new firing supervisor system in place which will make the process more streamlined from our perspective but shouldn’t change your firing method. Remember: to always put your Maker’s Mark on your work prior to firing so that we know whose work it is; fill in the firing form with ALL the information required; and, make sure you clean the bottoms of your pots. Do these 3 things and our system will work very well for the firing of your precious pieces. Happy New Year from the Firing and Glaze teams.

Many potters have had the disappointing experience at least one time of their pottery exploding in the kiln. The beauty of pottery is that you can get some very unexpectedly wonderful results. However, a nerve-wracking array of things can go wrong with pottery once you hand it over to the kiln of fate. So, exactly why does pottery explode in the kiln? The main reason that pottery explodes in the kiln is residual moisture left in the clay body even when it appears bone dry. Once the kiln reaches 100°C, the moisture starts to turn into steam. The steam expands very rapidly into any small air pockets in the clay and shatters the pottery. If a piece of pottery is going to explode, it normally does so in the bisque fire. The reason for this is that prior to the bisque fire, the greenware still has some water content. After the bisque fire, all this water will have gone. So, the main reason for the pottery to explode will have basically evaporated. However, there are other factors that can cause pottery to explode at various points during firing. It is commonly said that air bubbles in clay cause pottery to explode. However, this is only partially true. Air itself does not expand enough when heated to cause the pottery to explode. However, when the free water starts to evaporate, it looks for a way to exit the clay. It migrates toward the surface of the clay. If there are air bubbles in the clay the moisture will evaporate into the bubble cavity. Then as it expands within the bubble cavity, it will cause the pottery to explode in the kiln. There are also factors other than non-dry clay, air bubbles and air pockets that can also play a role. Clay thickness can be an issue. It is a general opinion that the thinner the clay the better the chance of firing successfully. Anything greater than 25mm thick can be problematic and will require a longer drying out time and specialised firing. Another important factor is the firing schedule. If the piece is being fired too quickly, it puts a lot of strain on the pottery and explosions are more likely. All these things need to be taken into consideration to avoid the big bang!

Each month we will delve into this vast archive of information regarding all things ceramics and bring to you snippets of their collected wisdom. March 2000 Trimming a coffee pot or jug with a pouring spout that was pulled upward is simple, if you first centre a ball of clay on the wheelhead and cover it with a sheet of plastic. Then centre the upside down pot on the clay support. This gives the spout clearance above the wheelhead, while the footring is trimmed. February 2002 Slumping or unevenness during throwing: Hold the length of a credit card or an even longer flexible rib against the profile and gently push the inside against it to strengthen the wall. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/8ed01b95-e1c5-418a-8332-65e1df2a599c/IMG_6587.jpg newsletters - January 2023 - Make it stand out Leather hard stage, base cracked: Keep the piece wrapped and leatherhard and throw another base. When roughly the same consistency of leatherhard, join by scratching and slipping. Dry very slowly. Handles cracking: Catch the pot at the right time and have handles at the same dryness. You can leave pulled handles draped over a form, for example a roll of newspaper, until they are same dryness. Fix in place and dry slowly. Joining and mending dry clay: Paper clay is marvellous. It can even fix a dry handle to a dry cup.

Annual General Meeting - Saturday 3 December - 12pm We’re now only days away from our next Annual General Meeting and I’m looking forward to catching up with members for the social aspect, as well as the business that needs to take place. Are you coming along to: meet other members of the club who attend on different days? (have some nibbles, perhaps a drink and get to know other potters.) volunteer or nominate for a committee position, like Secretary or a general member? share your thoughts on the club? vote on decisions that need to be made? suggest ideas for the year ahead? (Is there a particular technique you’d like to learn through a workshop or course? Suggest it!), or hear what the next steps of the club are? If you said yes to any of those questions, you should come along! We need at least 15 members in attendance for the meeting to go ahead. Please RSVP via email: shorncliffepotteryclubinc@hotmail.com so we know how many to cater for. Christmas / New Year Closure Exact dates will be confirmed at the AGM, and posted on our social media pages, but it is likely to be from mid-December to mid-January.

So, keep an eye on our Facebook page in particular, if you’d like to know when we’ll be open and closed over the holiday period. Thank you for the last two years Finally, I’d like to say Thank you to all the members who have supported me over the last two years while I have served as President. I have thorough enjoyed my time in the role and the achievements the committee has made, but I will be stepping down at the AGM.

Hard to believe the year has gone by. The kiln will have done 95 firings as we approach the end of the year. The New year is going to start out with an enlarged firing crew. Doug, Lynne and Katrina have joined Jean and I and the team is working smoothly. Not quite the same without Gus who thankfully remains on call.

But there's a lot more to ceramics. Car manufacturers for years have been using ceramic coatings to lower fuel consumption (owing to higher operating temperatures being achievable, higher thermal efficiency, and lighter weight) -- and some sports cars, such as Lamborghini's Aventador, sport carbon-ceramic brakes. But a revolutionary new ceramic created by Chinese scientists takes things to a whole new level! They have created a ceramic that can bend like metal ... and owing to its qualities is being touted as the material of the future for use in prosthetics etc. This development could improve artificial joints and engine performance. Before this discovery, it was commonly believed that a ceramic's flexibility and strength were opposites and that either would worsen if the other improved. The new ceramic uses nanotechnology to make it flexible The scientists created nanopillars with two different crystal formations using silicon nitride. When an outside force is put on one crystal structure, it can change into another type. This lets the material bend before going back to its original shape. Chen Kexin, a materials scientist who led the research, says that the new material is the first time scientists have made both stronger and lighter at the same time. It has the hardness of ceramic and the flexibility of metal. “This ceramic can bring technological revolutions to many industries,” said Chen, a professor at the National Natural Science Foundation of China. On October 27, Chen and associates from Tsinghua University published their findings in the journal Science.

Photo: Carl Warner. MoB. Brisbane artist John Rigby (1922-2012) made an immense contribution to Australia's visual arts over his 70-year career. His painting of Carl McConnell, one of Queensland’s most lauded potters based in Brisbane from 1948-1983 was a Finalist in the Archibald Prize 1962. On display at the Museum of Brisbane. Carl McConnell (1926–2003) was the most important potter in the post-World War Two generation in Queensland, introducing stoneware and porcelain firing to the state. His superb craftsmanship has been showcased in numerous exhibitions, which established his nationwide profile. Phillip McConnell (b.1947), Carl's eldest son, followed in his father's footsteps and established a career of equal significance. Carl and Phillip McConnell are regarded as superb ceramic technicians — both experimented with traditional Chinese and Japanese methods to produce a remarkably diverse and sophisticated body of works.

It is a collection of tips and techniques gathered and published in their newsletters since the 1960’s. Each month we will delve into this vast archive of information regarding all things ceramics and bring to you snippets of their collected wisdom. AUGUST 2000 Teapot spouts When you are ready to apply a spout to a leatherhard teapot body, cut through the spout base at an angle similar to the teapot body, position the spout against the teapot, mark the placement and whilst still held there insert a kabob stick or skewer into the body of the pot. This is marking the position and angle of the first hole. Put the spout aside and pierce the remaining holes at the same angle, which will give a flow path and result in good pouring. Remember that the area cut out for these holes should be at least equal to the area of the spout opening. Handles and other appendages Often give trouble by drying too fast (and consequently crack) can have the drying process slowed down. Simply paint over the joints - or fine fiddly bits - with wax emulsion. This will retard drying and be burnt off in the bisque firing.

Congratulations to the winners of the various awards, and congratulations to all that entered as you are the backbone of the exhibition. Also a huge thanks goes to the organising committee for such a well run event and to the business sponsors and politicians who support us. The 4017 Bayside Open Studios was also a big success. Thanks goes to the volunteers who set up and demonstrated for both weekends. Without you it would not have gone ahead. The open studio will bring in more members to the club for certain. And, it is only 7 weeks to Christmas, so if you want to give pottery gifts or are thinking of hand made ornaments, you had better get going to make it in time.

Well, what a month October was! We had: Expressions 2022 4017 Bayside Open Studios over two full weekends of workshops and demonstrations 3 snakes removed on the first Saturday morning of the 4017BOS, thankfully before people started to arrive kilns running hot - with a momentary pause mid-month to fix a broken pyrometer a lot of members paying their membership fee to rejoin (thank you!) and we welcomed new members, and a big clay order from The Clay Shed picked up when Suzanne B. did a trip to the Sunshine Coast… it basically filled her little car. Thank you Suzanne! You can read about Expressions, 4017BOS, the 3 snakes and how to join the club and pay your membership fees further below! November, by comparison, is a much quieter month. We hope to have an easy month, opening for members to come into the shed to create or bring their pieces in for firing in the lead up to Christmas. What are you making that you’d like to have ready in time for December 25? As Ed said, you’d better get making! We will also be preparing for the club’s Annual General Meeting to be held on Saturday, 3rd December. We would love to see some new faces on the committee this year and volunteering to help out around the shed - either as part-time open session supervisors or on the kiln team to assist Linda / learn the role (so Linda can take a holiday!). All committee roles will all be available to nominate for - if you have any questions please ask. Cheers and happy potting!

Of course, now we have to look forward to “Jingle all the Bay.” Pretty sure we will get a booth. If we decide to, we will set up the shade tent on Dec 3rd from 3pm to 9pm down at the Lagoon. Let us know if you think it is a good idea to participate. If we do we will be looking for people to bring in pottery to sell and help man the booth. You will have to bring in your pieces and pick them up. We will work on the details soon and let you know. With all the goings on we will be firing our 80th kiln load for the year. We are a bit behind as one of the kilns was under the weather. Gus saved the day, and came to show me how to put in the new thermocoupler. Hopefully by the beginning of November we will have caught up. And I will be ordering several new thermocouplers so we are prepared for the future. If the firing shelves are full, please don’t start putting firing on other shelves or moving sticks, as it gets confusing. If shelves are full just keep your pieces to be fired on your shelf and bring out as space occurs. Or, if I am there talk to me about a safe way to find an alternative shelf. I know people won’t be happy if an earthenware pot gets put in stoneware firing, due to a mixup. Also, if firing ‘not paid for’ do not put it on the firing shelves. We are thinking of providing underglaze at the scale for people to write their names on the bottom of pots. Do you like this idea? It takes me half an hour or more to go through paperwork to figure out who is the owner of unsigned pots. GRRRR. They are all supposed to be marked but many are not, or I am unable to decipher the mark as the marks aren’t deep enough. I would like to thank all of our volunteers for their help. A special thanks though this month goes out to Doug who vacuumed all four rooms and mopped so we could start 4017 with a very clean studio. And may I add a studio that hasn’t hadn’t any snakes for two weeks inside. Woo Hoo. Outside there are still a few lovelies. One in the chicken coop and one hanging out of the possum house in back of the shed. Gus thinks there may be eggs in it. But I am not game to peer inside. If anyone wants to peek and let us know – go for it. So until next month keep on potting and playing with clay and we will keep on firing. PS. Presently the glaze room is a mess as visited by a snake or two. There are glaze materials spilled all over the floor and containers knocked over. So it will need to be cleaned up before more glazes can be made. So please don’t waste glaze and use just what is needed. Gus, Linda, Jean, Catharine and Gabriel https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/c3450172-b5c0-4cb8-8bda-fc2dc3dcfe66/AGM+graphic.jpg newsletters - November 2022 - Make it stand out Annual General Meeting All members are urged to attend this important club meeting.

From the mid 1970s Brett Whiteley collaborated with a number of Australian artist-potters, producing a variety of vases, plates and other ceramic vessels, drawn with calligraphic gestures in blue glaze over a white porcelain background. In these images, Whiteley depicted blossoms, trees, birds and other animals, lovers, as well as a series on the theme of the Crucifixion. These plates correspond with a series of paintings and drawings produced in 1979–80 where the tortured figure of Christ is laid bare on the Cross, distended and malformed hands and fingers pierced with both drawn and real iron nails. Whiteley's ceramics were primarily thrown by others with a small number of hand-formed works made by the artist. He used rounded, organic thrown forms by potters including John K Dellow, Derek Smith, Harriett Collard and Shiga Shigeo, built to Whiteley's specifications. He then applied his painted decoration in the rich, deep blue for which he became known and which features prominently in his iconic Sydney Harbour paintings. "Windsor and Newton Deep Ultramarine oil colour has an obsessive, ecstasy-like effect upon my nervous system quite unlike any other colour," said Whiteley in 1975. For Whiteley, ceramics were another dynamic means to express his artmaking. He viewed the objects as akin to sculptures and his interest lay in the shape and decoration to convey his artistic expression. The exhibition Brett Whiteley: Blue and White, is on at The Brett Whiteley Studio, Surry Hills, until 27 Nov 2022. Entry is free.

It is a collection of tips and techniques gathered and published in their newsletters since the 1960’s. Each month we will delve into this vast archive of information regarding all things ceramics and bring to you snippets of their collected wisdom. This month it’s highlights from the 90’s. October 1990 Air currents in a studio can make uniform drying of your work difficult, particularly with large pieces. Try putting a cardboard box over your piece. August 1991 A piece of silver-lined rubber glove is ideal to finish a rim. As it stretches it compresses the clay and the coloured rubber is easy to locate amongst the slops. Dry pots in the wind, but never in the sun! October 1994 To remove a "stuck lid" after glaze firing – place the lidded form in a freezer for 20 minutes, remove and immediately immerse the lower portion in very hot water and strike it sharply near the lid with a wooden implement wrapped in a teatowel (being very careful not to chip the rim). Alternatively (if the pot is too big or freezer too full), warm the pot in a kiln or sink full of very hot water and sit a bag of frozen peas on the lid – then "whack" as above. July 1995 Stencils cut from the plastic lids of containers such as yoghurt, ice cream, margarine etc. last much longer than paper stencils. Unglazed sculptural works can be coated with a light application of liquid floor wax, it gives a soft sheen and makes them easier to dust. February 1998 Do your coils always want to turn into flat straps rather than nice round coils? Twist the strap like a piece of liquorice and keep rolling – a perfect coil results. JUNE 1998 Eight rules to pot by (from the Tasmanian Potters Society, 1980): 1. Sit on your buttocks – not on the end of your spine. 2. Relax. Tense muscles cause neck problems. 3. Consciously breathe in and out when pulling up cylinders. 4. Don't stay in the same position too long. 5. When centering clay, anchor elbows into your body or against the wheel, so that you are using your whole body weight instead of just the strength of your arms. 6. Keep your neck and back in as straight a line as possible. 7. Bend forward from the hips. Continual forward thrusting of the head strains the muscles in the neck and head. 8. Use a foot bar as it helps reduce back stress. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1606288900560-41K8GEKGFZG4LIAS27GX/SPC+newsletter+title+Committee.jpg newsletters - November 2022 President: Tamara Vitale Vice President: Ken Bull Secretary: Caroline Schleimer Acting Treasurer: Tamara Vitale Committee Members: Gus Saunders, Linda Rosenthal, Clare Houston & Ann Gillespie Newsletter Editor: Ed Trost email: shorncliffepotteryclubinc@hotmail.com and follow us on website + instagram + facebook …Until next month… HAPPY POTTING! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1625808660057-QHYEJJAJMKOR46QHEAA4/SPC+newsletter+footer+template.png newsletters - November 2022 https://www.shorncliffepotteryclubinc.com.au/newsletters/2022-october monthly 0.5 2024-07-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1603067433823-KMLIOYYG008VOJG0X1EE/SPC+newsletter+header+template.png newsletters - October 2022 ISSUE #025 Is this email not displaying correctly?

We will be running are 73rd and 74th kiln firing for the year this coming week. Potters obviously keep potting and Jean and I keep loading up the kilns and firing. We have had a few disasters lately. A midfire glaze was used for a stoneware firing. This resulted in glaze running and ruining two shelves. Gus was kind enough to come down and help me grind glaze off the shelves which are now bat washed and cooling down in the big kiln. So, they will be ready to use again soon but not as good as they were prior. So PLEASE, PLEASE double check clay and glaze used and make sure they are compatible with the firing you are putting them in. Just saying ‘club glaze’ is not sufficient. You must write down earthenware, midfire or stoneware glaze. This helps us all have a clear picture of what is going in the kiln. It is easy to make mistakes which is why it is always good to double check. So far I haven’t been charging for shelves which get glaze on them due to using the wrong glaze or putting too much glaze on. But I am going to start as it really adds to the workload in the kiln room and can be so easily avoided. Tamara saved us from another disaster as we were in the kiln room at night and caught a snake weaving around and over some pots on the unclaimed shelves. She flicked his tail aside and pushed Katrina's pots back as they were teetering on the edge of the shelf. Whew. I think she is braver than me. The big snake who has been living in the vent over the red shelves appears to have moved on as Gus (my hero), blocked off the vent. He was last seen coming down from the backroom and heading out to the garden (the snake, not Gus). Hopefully that will be the last we will see of him. Though I assume he will return. Don’t forget 4017 art tour coming up. We are hoping people will set up a table outside for sales or have things we can set up in the backroom gallery. We still need a wheel throwing volunteer for both Sunday afternoons. Let me know if you can help us out.

Brad Pitt's works include a house-shaped structure moulded in clear silicon and shot with bullets. Nick Cave produced a series of ceramic figurines that depict the life of the devil (pictured below). Finnish media reported that both men acknowledged being excited and nervous about presenting their art in public for the first time. The 58-year-old Pitt, reportedly began making ceramic art following his divorce from Angelina Jolie in 2017. He told the Finnish public broadcaster that his work was about "self-reflection". Cave, produced a series of ceramic figurines that depict the life of the devil. He designed, painted and glazed the 17 figures between 2020 and this year. "I wanted to do a devil because it was red. And I like the colour of red glaze," Cave said. "Eventually I decided to make the life story of the devil itself. "For me, personally, it speaks into something about the idea of forgiveness or the need to be forgiven.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/78ee0cea-0445-4b5a-a682-813f36e81a92/DEVIL+AS.png newsletters - October 2022 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/4c33afc9-7370-4476-aa41-b51fa51961c6/IMG_2690.jpg newsletters - October 2022 - Make it stand out Group Photo with Cher Shackleton seated in the centre. WA Woodfire Conference 2022 By Clare Houston Through a series of fortunate coincidences I was lucky enough to be able to participate in the Woodfire WA 2022 Conference which ran from the 12th of September through to the 17th. It was based at Capel and Nannup, south of Perth at venues organised by Cher Shackleton. There were around 30 participants at the conference whose ages ranged widely from 18 years upwards. A wide range of experience was also covered and I found everyone very friendly and happy to share their knowledge. The week was a wood firing and pottery whirlwind, starting with packing a salt kiln and Cher’s Chezzagama wood kiln at a farm in Capel. After the packing of the kilns there was an amazing demonstration of throwing and attaching handles by Ian Dowling. It was the smoothest handle that I have ever seen made, and it was attached and pulled with only a few movements. Ian made it look so easy! We then fired both kilns simultaneously with two teams working next to each other, and firing the wood kiln through the night. The salt kiln fired in about 15 hours from an early morning start, and the wood kiln took much longer, two nights and two days, about 50 hours in all. While the kilns cooled we moved location to a property at Nannup, about one hour’s drive south. There we took part in a pit firing under the direction of Mary Wallace, and packed the brand new train kiln. There were throwing demonstrations by Ted Secombe, who made working with porcelain look so easy, and he showed his hand positions when touching the clay which I found really useful. Warrick Palmateer was also doing throwing demonstrations. As a TAFE teacher, he was able to give easily understandable explanations about how he was moving the clay on the wheel. Jackie Gasson from the Sunshine Coast was on hand to advise everyone on applying slips and glazing their pieces and she directed the Raku firings also. Cher Shackleton was overseeing the obvara firing and the horsehair and feathers style Raku. Stuart McKay showed us how to build a fast fire kiln that he has developed. It is a wood fired kiln made from a 44 gallon drum that can fire to cone 10 in your backyard. There were a lot of people who were keen to have a go at making one for themselves. Stuart also oversaw the firing of two of the fast fire kilns and was on hand to advise us on the best stoking patterns and the best kind of wood to use. There was also a project to make a primitive kiln from fireclay and straw in an adobe style which fired small figurines made from clay. Jackie Gasson also discussed glaze making, how various ceramic materials melt, and ways of combining them. Her samples were eagerly pored over, and many questions were asked and answered. Cher Shackleton demonstrated some very interesting hand building techniques, and some ways of working with clay that I would never have thought to try, like using a peg of clay and a stamp to reinforce a join. Mary Wallace demonstrated her techniques of carving clay and she described her apprenticeship with a Korean master ceramicist whose carved vases sold for as much as a small car! Dan Webb then showed us how to make the carving tools and how to sharpen them. Martin Baxter talked up through his salt glazed pots and described different effects on clay bodies. Ted Secombe and Warrick continued with throwing and trimming sessions. They set up next to each other in Cher’s studio and it was great to listen to them chatting with each other and with the participants. They are both very skilled and great teachers, but also humble and with great stories to tell. The final day of the program was when all the kilns were opened, and the pots were laid out to be discussed and photographed. It was an amazing week, with great people, and I feel like I learned so much. Thank you so much Woodfire WA !

It is a collection of tips and techniques gathered and published in their newsletters since the 1960’s. Each month we will delve into this vast archive of information regarding all things ceramics and bring to you snippets of their collected wisdom. APRIL 1989 To save opening a jar and washing a brush when joining pieces of clay, keep some slip in an old squeeze sauce or mayonnaise bottle. After scratching the edges to be joined, squeeze some slip from the bottle onto the area and press together. When a large coil pot starts to slump, put a piece of cloth around it and pin the cloth with straight pins. The cloth will hold the pot in place and absorb excess moisture. Hot wax can be difficult to control. If the wax is too hot, or the brush is too heavily loaded, a wax run can occur. If this happens on a bisque pot the wax will be absorbed, and scraping will not get rid of the wax. This can be solved by rubbing the effected area with petrol and working it in. A perfect elimination can then be achieved. JUNE 1989 Large garbage bags with a hole cut in the middle of the bottom and one on each side make excellent throwing 'smocks' and black can look quite stunning! Transferring your design - draw the design you wish to appear on your clay surface onto a sheet of tracing paper. Then with a free running non–permanent felt tipped pen go over the outline on the reverse side. Press the paper down right side up, on the damp clay form. The inked template design will come off cleanly and clearly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1662649896902-TO61H2M7A7EA2NAFF5JE/Tracing-embroidery-on-iPad-600px.jpg newsletters - October 2022 - Make it stand out SEPTEMBER 1989 Wet, squeeze out and freeze foam blocks, then carve a pattern into the foam. Great for printing designs on clay. Alternatively, a heated soldering iron will carve a design into foam. If using the latter method don't breathe the fumes. Work outside with a fan blowing the fumes away from you. A potato peeler makes a great trimming tool, particularly for the bottom edges of hand built pots. Blutack is a cheap and effective masking material when applied to bisque ware. It can be used repeatedly without detriment to it or your pots. Remove when the glaze layer is dry, wash under the tap, dry and use again. Clean telephone calls - answering the telephone when you are throwing can be messy. Solution! Keep an open plastic bag near the telephone into which you can dive your muddy paw before picking up the phone. [editor - an up to date version of this can be done for mobile phones, keep your phone in a plastic bag so that it is protected by the bag] Tinting hot wax with a coloured candle makes it easier to see. When breaking down dry clay, hot water works better than cold. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/a020fc6b-3632-4bc4-a861-cb0ff5de0b0b/what-is-a-hold-time-when-firing-pottery.jpg newsletters - October 2022 - Make it stand out The Importance of Having a Good Soak Having a soak (or the holding of the firing temperature) can be very useful in a glaze firing. A soak may last from 15 minutes to 3/4 hour or more. This helps even out the temperatures throughout the kiln, and ensure all the pieces have achieved the optimum temperature. This is particularly useful if the kiln is densely packed. Soaking for too long however can overfire ware, so this must be taken into account. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1606288900560-41K8GEKGFZG4LIAS27GX/SPC+newsletter+title+Committee.jpg newsletters - October 2022 President: Tamara Vitale Vice President: Ken Bull Secretary: Caroline Schleimer Acting Treasurer: Tamara Vitale Committee Members: Gus Saunders, Linda Rosenthal, Clare Houston & Ann Gillespie Newsletter Editor: Ed Trost email: shorncliffepotteryclubinc@hotmail.com and follow us on website + instagram + facebook …Until next month… HAPPY POTTING! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1625808660057-QHYEJJAJMKOR46QHEAA4/SPC+newsletter+footer+template.png newsletters - October 2022 https://www.shorncliffepotteryclubinc.com.au/newsletters/2022-september monthly 0.5 2024-07-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1603067433823-KMLIOYYG008VOJG0X1EE/SPC+newsletter+header+template.png newsletters - September 2022 ISSUE #024 Is this email not displaying correctly?

But we have a new person learning about the kilns and working with me loading and unloading. So, a big thank you to Jean for her help. And Kathy is signed up to help when she returns from holidaying. Kiln room is busy, busy. We are putting in our 62nd firing of the year on Sunday. Some Expressions pieces have been fired and some waiting to be fired. So make sure you get your pottery in so it will be ready on time. And don’t forget we are opening the studio for two weekends in October (middle of the month) for the 4017 art tour. We plan to make the back room a gallery and put plinths in to show case the work. Or, if you want you can put tables up in the court yard with your wares. So two great exhibitions to show and sell your wares. Obviously we will be extra busy next month and into October with Expressions and then 4017. We are looking for volunteers for both in sales, setup and take down and wheel throwers for 4017, and also people willing to chat with the visitors. We are trying to keep a variety of clay available. If you want anything in particular ask me or leave me a note and I will see about getting it. Some things remain unavailable or difficult to get.

It is a collection of tips and techniques gathered and published in their newsletters since the 1960’s. Each month we will delve into this vast archive of information regarding all things ceramics and bring to you snippets of their collected wisdom. MARCH 1982 Avoid "S" cracks in mugs by removing a small portion of the foot ring (this relieves tension at the base of the mug ). It also has the advantage of allowing water to escape when placed in the dishwasher and stops wax "burps" when dipping the foot in wax. Before adding handles: Moisten hands and immerse mug in water. July 1983 Talc can be used to help prevent clay from sticking to rolling pins and working surfaces. Also good for decorating stamps getting stuck after repeated use. March 1985 Elastic bandages are ideal for wrapping large sculptural ceramics to provide support during drying - the bandage shrinks with the clay. Bandages are available in a variety of widths and lengths and end can be secured with the accompanying clip. JULY 1986 An inexpensive vegetable peeler from your local supermarket is a good tool to make facets on small pots. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/b110599d-aed6-4d2f-9e60-abaee6480e47/vege+peeler.jpg newsletters - September 2022 - Make it stand out Lid Wax Recipe To stop lids sticking when firing Earthenware Add 60ml (1/8 cup or 2 tablespoons) Alumina Hydrate to 125ml wax to create a special wax for firing lids on pots. When the wax burns off, the powdered, refractory alumina hydrate will stay behind, leaving a chalky resist. This mixture can also be applied to clay props (wasters) to avoid them sticking. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1660461453831-42I5N2X9IWIZVCLRUARO/w-teapot-glaze-fault-2_orig.jpg newsletters - September 2022 - Make it stand out Chipped rim from lid sticking to rim. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1606288900560-41K8GEKGFZG4LIAS27GX/SPC+newsletter+title+Committee.jpg newsletters - September 2022 President: Tamara Vitale Vice President: Ken Bull Secretary: Caroline Schleimer Acting Treasurer: Tamara Vitale Committee Members: Gus Saunders, Linda Rosenthal, Clare Houston & Ann Gillespie Newsletter Editor: Ed Trost email: shorncliffepotteryclubinc@hotmail.com and follow us on website + instagram + facebook …Until next month… HAPPY POTTING! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1625808660057-QHYEJJAJMKOR46QHEAA4/SPC+newsletter+footer+template.png newsletters - September 2022 https://www.shorncliffepotteryclubinc.com.au/newsletters/2022-august monthly 0.5 2024-07-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1603067433823-KMLIOYYG008VOJG0X1EE/SPC+newsletter+header+template.png newsletters - August 2022 ISSUE #023 Is this email not displaying correctly?

Big thanks go to the volunteers who manned the stall so diligently and to the wheel demonstrators. I think everyone had a great time. It’s also getting closer to the Expressions 2022 exhibition and 4017 Bayside Open Studios, so get creative. It will be here before you know it. Only 2 months away.

First up this month I am giving a shout out to our members who are volunteering to help the Club! Firstly, to Rebecca H and Suzanne B who are sharing the supervision of Thursday evening and Saturday morning sessions with me so we can retain our current number of open sessions per week. And to another member who has expressed interest in supervising a new Wednesday morning session - we will provide more advice when this gets locked in. Secondly, to those who help to keep the club clean! We have a couple of members who have taken on the responsibility of cleaning an area if they notice it is getting messy - one member cleans and sorts the tool station, and another cleaned all the bats recently (and commented on how much clay was left around the side edge of the bats - which is bad for dust in the shed when it dries). If you'd like to adopt a space in the shed to volunteer to clean, or sort, let the volunteer supervisor know! SPCInc Members Library - we have a new (second-hand) bookcase in the kitchenette that our library has been placed in. At the moment there is no order to it, but if someone loves sorting books into categories we'd love to hear from you! New member's storage shelves - we have more member work in progress storage shelving! A HUGE thank you to our anonymous member-donor for buying us the new shelving to store member's WIPs on, and to Linda for painting the shelf inserts to seal them... they're painted red and add a nice spark of colour to the shed. Expressions - 9 weeks to go!!! I have a big thank you to the 8 members who volunteered to help me organise this year’s exhibition - Ann, Diane, Donna, Jenny, Linda, Roz, Susanne and Suzanne. With only 9 weeks to go we need to ramp up free advertising through our social pages. So, when you see a post on Facebook or Instagram please share them to help spread the word. Also, see the article further below on how to enter your pieces this year! Cheers and happy potting!

Not the same without him. But firings continue with the 49th firing of the year started today. We definitely have a mischief maker in the kiln room (No, not Gus), as when I went in today there was aluminium oxide all over the floor and some pottery knocked off the shelves. I have been chasing out a possum from the back room and it is my bet that is who is causing the mess. Though could also be a snake as we have three sharing the backroom. A baby possum has succumbed to one of the snakes. Toni from the community garden next door said she heard a crash and it was the snake falling out of a tree with the possum. Later in the day a snake was spotted in the shed with a big bump. Several, thank you’s: Kevin took on cleaning the big batt shelf. His comment was it was mainly the rims that weren’t cleaned. So watch out for that when you clean up. Melina continues to clean and organize the tool table. And Kathy organized and labelled the moulds in the back room. (Remember to stuff paper back into them when returning it to the shelf as snakes love to curl up inside them) People's efforts are really appreciated. If you would like to help with a chore let me know. The container shelf, and small batts shelf would love to get help being cleaned and organised. Just let me know. Will take less then an hour a month. I borrowed the following from another club as it was so well said. Our humble studio is something to treasure and we can all help to keep it alive. Little things like putting tools back where you got them from, cleaning up spills and workspaces, using the mop on the floor and taking your work home to free up limited shelf space for others. Thanks, in Advance! A shelving unit has been donated to the club so we shall soon have more space for members. Shelves are in the process of being painted. They will be ready to be assigned soon. And a past member Dani Rue has donated some glazes and moulds. All in all it has been a good month and it is ending with the Einbunpin Festival on the 31st. So we hope everyone will come and visit the club space and enjoy the festival. We will be located between the bridge and the gazebo.

Gabriel, one of our experienced hand building members will be offering a short hand building course. The classes will run in a block of 6 weeks with a class size limited to a maximum of 8. The course will be conducted on Saturday afternoons, so that participants and tutor have the shed to themselves, and will be able to spread out. A summary of the curriculum includes: clay safety, clay preparation, building small 3D forms, pinchpot method, making slip, using coils for a 3D form, slab mug and box, and recycling clay. The first 5 weeks will be held continuously, and then there will be a one week break to allow participants to finish off pieces and have them bisque fired.

Times: 11.30am to 2.30pm, (3 hours duration) Cost: $260.00 This is for 18 hours tuition in a 6 week block, payable in advance. Included in the cost is a block of clay suitable for hand building. The usual $7 entry fee is included in the price. Firing of pieces will be at the usual club rates.

The Einbunpin Festival stall, held yesterday, was a huge success. This year we didn’t look like the poor cousins with a shabby marquee, this year we had our new ‘branded marquee’ for all to see and fresh black table cloths to display the pottery to its finest. Apparently the marquee could be seen clear across the lagoon. Thank you to the numerous volunteers who gave up part of their weekend to man the stall and sell our wonderful pottery. It really does depend on your time and involvement to make this event happen. And a Big Thank You to Tamara and Linda for organising the event, without their drive this stall would not have eventuated. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1659239189875-1SQGVAB6R93P6ERSAE15/einbunpin+01.jpeg newsletters - August 2022 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1659239191939-GVAFA6U5A3NN7XRMBP95/einbunpin+02.jpeg newsletters - August 2022 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1659239194285-PDM10BPHLATH7TKV2S1P/einbunpin+03.jpeg newsletters - August 2022 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1659239196764-AMDDS0J9IG2XAEM03IQQ/einbunpin+04.jpeg newsletters - August 2022 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/e4ea4d34-5d8f-4b7e-be0e-0d350ed558d7/space+22+header+short.png newsletters - August 2022 - Make it stand out The Black Dog Fundraiser Exhibition You may have seen the ABC TV series Space 22, where 7 people with mental health issues immersed themselves in art as therapy.

New research has uncovered the work of regional potters, re-evaluated the role of women in building the state’s art sector and revealed the importance of art therapy in post–World War I Queensland. The success of projects run by L.J. Harvey and his students in rehabilitating the manual skills of returned soldiers and children stricken with infantile paralysis contributed to the establishment in 1955 of occupational therapy as a distinct discipline at the University of Queensland. The publication is the most comprehensive survey of the art pottery produced in an Australian state. It includes over 100 potters from Brisbane and regional areas, whose practices during the early 1900’s significantly influenced art and craft movements throughout Australia. The accompanying exhibition took as its nucleus the work of pioneering artist Lewis Jarvis (L.J.) Harvey, his students, and the distinctive style that became a hallmark of what is now known as the Harvey School. Harvey’s teaching method was firmly grounded in the British Arts and Crafts Movement, which advocated the revival of hand-production methods. His pottery classes, initiated in 1916 at the Central Technical College in Brisbane, operated for over thirty years and encouraged students to work local clays by hand, a distinct and purposeful alternative to factory-made household items during a period of burgeoning mass manufacture. Harvey’s method was unique globally, and attracted the attention of Vi Eyre, Nell McCredie, and Annie Mitchell, who became prominent practitioners and who transferred his influence interstate. This project has also uncovered the significant number of women who were practising during the period, many of whom were overlooked by past research or credited as hobbyists or “unknown” creators. Though at the time they were rarely regarded as professional artists, these women were vitally important to the development and appreciation of the pottery medium in the early twentieth century. Harvey encouraged the women in his school beyond amateur status: he collected pieces by his leading students, found opportunities for them to exhibit and sell their works professionally, and encouraged them to exhibit nationally.

It is a collection of tips and techniques gathered and published in their newsletters since the 1960’s. Each month we will delve into this vast archive of information regarding all things ceramics and bring to you snippets of their collected wisdom. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/0efca87e-548d-4c07-bb41-fe5a877eed9b/IMG_2765.jpg newsletters - August 2022 - Make it stand out JULY 1979 Do you have trouble firing glazed beads? Make yourself a "bead tree", as suggested by Alma Andrews (see illustration). Make a clay cone about 10-13cm high, either by throwing it on the wheel or pinching or coiling it by hand. Let the clay stiffen a bit and then stick into it short lengths of nichrome or kanthal wire. On the "branches" of the "tree" you can thread your beads, keeping them a short distance apart so that they will not stick together when the glaze melts. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/98b97f33-dd55-415b-aec5-8560aa1cb99b/upside+down+pottery+comp.jpg newsletters - August 2022 - Make it stand out AUGUST 1979 When pouring glaze on to tall, narrow-mouthed pots, it is difficult to balance the pot safely over the glaze catching bowl. Also, having first glazed the inside with say a white glaze for hygienic appearance, the poured glaze could splash up inside, spoiling the clean effect. Both problems can be overcome by sitting the pot upside down on a funnel, itself supported off the glaze catching bowl, all standing on a banding wheel. A hand on the base of the pot both steadies and rotates it. An added bonus is a much neater rim, needing less cleaning. A plastic funnel with a 12cm diameter mouth and 17cm high, provides a very stable support. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1656377453769-RSHSHMPM9PIQY8I8LQ8C/crackle+pot+B8392.jpeg newsletters - August 2022 - Make it stand out Craquelure Glaze Craquelure in glazes (see picture above) is often a desired effect and is usually called “crackle”. It is mainly caused by the different shrinkage rates between the glaze and the clay during the firing process and results in a minute network of cracks in the glaze surface. It is distinguished from crazing, which is accidental craquelure resulting in a glaze defect, although in some cases, experts have difficulty in deciding whether milder crackle effects are deliberate or not. After firing, to accentuate the crackle, wipe an acrylic or ink over the pot, allowing the ink to fill and highlight the cracks, and then wipe off the excess. The crackle may take some time to appear after the firing process. So don’t fret if it isn’t apparent straight after firing. A type of double crackle, known as "gold thread and iron wire", (see picture) is where there are two patterns, one with a wide and large crackle and the other with a finer network. This is created by multiple layers of glaze being applied. The wider crackle develops first, with the finer one developing inside those larger sections. The club currently doesn’t have a crackle glaze as part of its glaze library, however crackle glazes can be easily purchased at the local pottery store.

Can you believe that we are now halfway through the year, how quickly did that go? But on a positive note we have some exciting months coming up: 31 July - Einbunpin Festival : See the write up below on how to sell your pieces this year. We’re also super excited to show off our new marquee and stall set-up! So make sure you come along on the day to check us out! 30 September - 2 October - Expressions : We have the dates and location locked in. Keep an eye out for a news flash later this month to provide advice on how to enter this year for the judged and non-judged sections. Also, a big thank you to the members who are volunteering their time to assist with organising this year’s exhibition. 8 October - Annual General Meeting : Date to be confirmed. 15, 16, 22 and 23 October - 4017 Bayside Open Studios : see the update further below on our involvement this year. Also over the last six month of the year we hope to hold more beginner’s hand building and wheel courses, and hopefully another workshop to extend member’s skills. See the review below of the Decorative Techniques on Clay workshop held at the start of June. Cheers and happy potting!

Please leave some room at the bottom of your item as a buffer against running when glazing. Waxing gives a nice uniform line buffer. Make some good sacrificial bowls. There has and will continue to be difficulty in getting clay due to the supply not being out there. Dark clay’s are particularly difficult to get as the pits are still flooded from earlier this year. Be gentle in the use of the club glazes, some raw materials have more than doubled in price with the events of the last two years effecting supply. Gabriel and Catharine will continue making glazes but there may be some reduction in the range in response to raw material availability. On a personal note the last 18months since we have become Shorncliffe pottery club incorporated I have thoroughly enjoyed being a part of the working committee and the team running the day to day activities. I am moving to greener pastures but will still be on the committee until the end of September and still coming in when possible to play with clay. Take care all, Gus Gus, Linda, Catharine and Gabriel *Just in from the Kiln room: Kiln 2 just over-fired. It was a mid-fire so the people whose work was in the kiln can expect their items to be darker than anticipated. It was still too hot to see anything prior to the newsletter going to distribution. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1e765652-fa16-4aff-bef3-484ed8504c11/gus%2Btext.jpg newsletters - July 2022 - Goodbye and Thanks to Gus Goodbye and Thanks Gus Well as you probably know by now, our beloved supervisor and kiln maestro Gus has sold his local house and bought out in the vast open plains at Laidley. So sadly we have to say farewell to him and wish him good luck on the next adventure in his life. We will miss him terribly - particularly his quirky sense of humour and his eclectic Spotify playlists. No really, we will miss his tireless input into the club and especially his involvement in managing the kiln room. So all the best Gus and we hope you can decide quickly which shed will be your designated pottery shed on the new property. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/370fa181-cc1e-4259-adeb-6cf2cdbf6656/mess+comp.jpg newsletters - July 2022 - Make it stand out What a Mess! Supervisors are having to do a lot of extra work cleaning up after some of our members have left their work areas in a mess, as can be seen in these recent photos above. Can ALL members be more considerate in regards to leaving your work area as clean, if not cleaner, than when you started? Pay particular attention to around the wheel that you have been using. It doesn’t take a lot of effort to clean thoroughly and it shouldn’t rely on the supervisors to have to clean up at the end of the session. If in doubt as to how to clean an area, just ask your friendly supervisor. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/ae274611-e948-4e0c-b3da-8118810beabd/potters+at+workshop.png newsletters - July 2022 - Do you know anyone that shows an interest in your pottery?

When transporting the greenware pot above to be fired - I broke off all three legs. Not one, but all three - unbelievable. So here was the perfect opportunity to test whether the paper clay would cope with joining dry pieces to dry (as being a paper clay I was led to believe it could). As the pot was dry and ready to be bisque fired, I sprayed the pot and the legs with water a few times, scored the softened areas and applied a slurry of the clay to each join, then re-attached the legs. Simple. The clay handled the variation in moisture levels well and didn’t crack. The joins had no obvious change in shrinkage rates between them and the rest of the pot. All was looking good until – uh oh the legs didn’t stay fastened to the body with enough strength to make it into the kiln and they fell off in the kiln packing stage. It was far from a success. I think I have a lot to learn in regards to using paper clay and the ‘dry to dry’ joining process. After some further research, I will try again with more education in paper clay techniques. So if you want to use a clay that has a smooth plasticity, yet is quite robust due to the grog, and is very forgiving with repair possibilities even when completely dry (not counting my attempt), then I would recommend this product - White Paper Raku. Just ask Gus or Linda if we have some in store.

It is a collection of tips and techniques gathered and published in their newsletters since the 1960’s. Each month we will delve into this vast archive of information regarding all things ceramics and bring to you snippets of their collected wisdom. MARCH 1980 – Decoration Try children's crayons (even the new synthetic kind) for decorative wax resist. They require no heating and the resulting mottled glaze effect can be quite attractive. An expired plastic credit card makes an excellent throwing rib or slab cutter. For additional versatility, one edge of the card can be notched to make a texture and sgraffito tool. Use a steel drill bit for drilling holes in leather-hard or bone dry clay. These bits come in a variety of sizes, and their keen cutting action will not damage fragile ware. MARCH 1982 – Decoration Oiled stamps: When you require intricate, impressed decoration from metal, wood or plastic stamps, coat these with vegetable oil and they will easily release, with no clay stuck in the stamp's fine detail. Stamping decoration: A plastic dry-cleaning bag [or cling wrap] may be placed on top of a clay object prior to impressing with a bisque stamp to produce a smooth edged decoration and prevent clay build up on the stamp. Using the plastic, even nonporous objects such as tin cans, bottle tops, cake cutters, and forks can be impressed; deeply textured surfaces provide the best decoration. Smooth foot rims: After trimming the foot of a heavily grogged piece, brush the surface with matching fine slip to provide a smooth finish and afford protection for tabletops and other contact surfaces. Restoring leather hardness: An easy way to make ware softer again without fear of cracking is to line the pot inside and out with wet newspaper, leave it this way for a day and then it is ready for trimming. Driftwood tools: Find driftwood on the beach and convert it into modelling tools for making pots. The wood is especially hard, smooth and holds sharp edges well. It allows the forming at no expense, of any tool needed, either by picking up a suitable shape or sanding it to fit specifications.

Busy, busy. We have had a few issues with kilns but hopefully this is resolved. Gus has lowered the temperature in kiln 2 as it was over firing. In general the kilns are going well. We have had two issues with glaze going onto shelf but no major catastrophes. We still have to check the bottoms and wipe off if we have any concerns and often use sacrificial plates to protect shelves. Remember to really clean off bottom of your pieces and don’t put glaze on too thickly as it can run or crawl. This is especially problematic when dipping. Waxing bottoms also helps. One request is to place firing pieces on the shelves not on the weighing table, as people are using the scales and also it is used when loading and unloading the kilns, so there is potential for things to get knocked around. If in doubt about where to place pots due to limited space talk to the volunteer supervisor. Also can everyone to be conscious regarding cleaning tools, bats, banding wheels, water containers, tables etc. Please clean before putting away, and if you see things that aren’t cleaned take the initiative to clean them. Wet things often look ok, but once dried are not so clean looking. Taking a dry towel to wipe over them is helpful. With tables, a heavy film of water allowed to sit for a minute and then sponged or brushed and sponged is more likely to clean the clay off. I use a brush when clay is heavy on the table - then sponge. Don’t forget the side of the wheels and floor, chairs and kettle too. A member (she wants to remain nameless) has taken to cleaning and organising tools near the front door. A big thank you as this saves Gus and I from having to do it. Phew. Thank you so, so much. If anyone else would like to take on a regular task let me know. Keep on playing with clay.

Helen is inspiring and will show some really interesting techniques. There will be some hands-on for this workshop. This is a full day workshop and will suit both hand builders and wheel throwers alike. About Helen Potter, Ceramic Artist, Artist and Pottery Teacher Clay intrigues me in its entirety – its qualities and the processes by which it can be formed and fired to a near-permanent state. The act of creating something out of virtually nothing is mysteriously enthralling and this medium constantly offers unseen potential. These qualities about clay art have taken me on a 37 year journey. My passion motivates me to continue pursuing new and innovative ideas for my own work, enjoying a creative environment at my home based studio, gallery and meditative space in my garden, in Brisbane, Australia. Decorative techniques are enthralling, consuming and never ending given the nature of ceramics and all the wonderful materials available to us. This intrigues me the most and I continue to be absorbed by decorative techniques and the “what if” factor. See more about Helen: www.creativeclay.com.au About the workshop Discovering the ultimate personality of your ceramic surface This workshop will comprise of discussion, demonstration and hands on segments. The workshop will allow you to create decorative techniques using glazes which will be unique to you. We will explore creating your own individual palette of colours using glazes at your disposal and formulating a unique glaze grid for future use, reference and pleasure. The main themes of the day will be using an infinite number of resist techniques, glaze on glaze, application and use of oxides to enhance your work and palette. The details Date: Sunday 5th June Cost: Members price $170.00 payable in advance. Non-members $190.00 (or become a member for the discounted price of $26 for the balance of our financial year – October).

(Image: Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities) Ancient Roman Pottery Workshop Discovered in Egypt By Callum McKelvie Archaeologists in Egypt have discovered an ancient Roman pottery workshop — with the remains of rounded vessels, coins, figurines and even a 'ritual room' — dating to the beginning of the Roman period in Tabba Matouh, west Alexandria. The site dates back to early Roman Egypt, which began in 30 B.C. following future Roman emperor Octavian's defeat of Anthony and Cleopatra. Following the Roman conquest, Egypt became a highly prosperous Roman province that supplied the rest of the Roman Empire with a variety of craft-based products, including pottery. Ancient workers primarily used the site for crafting amphorae — two-handled vessels with a neck narrower than the main body that were used for the storage and transportation of goods such as oil and grain. Archaeologists also discovered a number of buildings at the site, including a workshop containing a group of kilns. Two of these were carved into the rock and one remains in excellent condition. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1610152846790-IW7XU7H3MN4NWMV7HB39/SPC+newsletter+title+birthday.png newsletters - June 2022 To all our valued members who are having a birthday this month, we hope you have an exciting day and are spoilt rotten by your loved ones: Megan Bakewell, Ken Bull, Rebecca Dobson, Adriane Gower, Marissa Lindquist, Donna Mahon, Kath Marmo, Margaret Pettit, Stephanie Roth, Gus Saunders, Karen Sharpe, Sheryl Vaccaro, Susanne Vincent.

JUNE 1974 newsletter – Mending Cracks Leatherhard: If the clay is still leather hard, a crack can often be mended by gentle pressure from a modelling tool. If the ware is dry, make a slurry from dry clay (same clay as the pot) and vinegar and press it well into the crack and then smooth off. Bisqueware: A fine hair crack can often be filled by filling it by rubbing it with another piece of bisqueware made from the same clay, pushing the fine grog thus produced well into the crack with finger. If the crack is wide fill it with a paste made from fine grog and a little bit of glaze which you are going to use on the pot. Reglazing: Sometimes it is difficult to get a second coat of glaze to adhere to an unsatisfactory glazed pot. Lokrete or Bondcrete (a cement sealing compound sold in hardware stores) mixed 50/50 with water, painted over the pot and allowed to dry, gives a very satisfactory "key" which makes reglazing much easier. This process is made quicker still if the pot is first warmed in the oven or on top of a kiln. The glue burns out in the firing and makes no difference to the glaze. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/8bf6df75-f11b-4ada-9db1-394ce630388a/collected+wisdom+cover.jpg newsletters - June 2022 - Make it stand out Courtesy COLLECTED WISDOM | 50 years of handy hints from the Ceramic Study Group, Australia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/bb3968a2-0564-4b4d-a8c6-e07e7bc967de/stack+and+slam+wedging.jpg newsletters - June 2022 - Make it stand out Stack and Slam Wedging If you have any trouble with your wrists or hands you will probably find wedging clay difficult. Stack and slam wedging is the answer and makes wedging a possibility. Plus, it’s actually quite enjoyable! Click the green arrow above to watch the video. Stack and slam wire wedging involves stacking one block of clay upon another and slicing through both blocks. The sliced blocks are then sandwiched together and slammed on the table a few times to compact them. These are then sliced down the middle again, and the process is repeated. Wedging clay is unlikely to become any potter’s favourite part of the day. However, the stack and slam wire wedging method is speedy and efficient. And once, you get into a flow, it can feel quite satisfying. All that slamming is a good way to get your frustrations out and it’s cheaper than therapy! (Editor: It is also a great way of combining clays to make agateware. Remember though, it is important to use clays that fire at a similar temperature and have similar shrinkage rates.)

Firstly I’d like to thank our members: Ken and Celia for successfully applying to the Brisbane City Council Community Facility Disaster Relief Fund to financially assist the Club in the clean up, repairs and replacing items that were destroyed by the February flooding. Gus, Jason, Kath, Linda, Robyn (and her son Dallas) and Roz, who volunteered their time at our second working bee on Saturday 9 April to help us repair and paint water damaged plinths and have them ready for the SAS Easter Art Show, and cleaning up around the outside of the shed (mowing and pressure cleaning). My next thank you is to all the members who completed our SPC Inc Questionnaire 2022. We had a great response and will call a Member’s General Meeting towards the end of May / start of June to discuss the survey results, provide a general update and a chance for members to ask questions of the committee. The Einbunpin Festival is celebrating it’s 30th anniversary on Sunday 31 July and the Club will have a stall there again! So if you are a member who wants to sell their wares then get busy creating and join us for a fun day in the park. Finally, a few members have told us that they have found our emails going straight into their ‘Junk’ folder recently. I’m not sure why this happens but if it happens to you please ensure you mark us as a ‘Safe Sender’ so our emails go into your inbox and you don’t miss any Club news! Cheers and happy potting!

Covid, floods and life issues have not interfered with our potters producing their pots and other creations. Gus and I vie to see who gets to open kilns as it is so much fun to see the finished products come out of the kiln. Unless of course the kiln Gods have taken a day off. Please help us out by putting your initials or sign on pots so we can find your shelf or safe spot to put your creations. It adds on a considerable amount of time if we have to review paperwork to figure out who’s is who’s. Plus the description of bowl or pinch pot etc. usually covers more then one pot in a load. Remember if pots are not claimed within two months they are disposed of !!!! Shelves are at a premium. We are assigning bottom shelves but they aren’t real convenient. SORRY. We are hoping to come up with more spaces but haven’t solved that issue yet. There are a number of markets and exhibitions coming up so it is time to plan ahead so you don’t have to worry about not having pots ready to go. Einbunpin is July 31st, Expressions is September 30th to October 2nd, 4017 Bayside Open Studios over weekends of October 16th and 22nd, Jingle on the Bay is December 3rd. Hoping these are right dates :) We will be looking for volunteers to organise and help set up for these. Our glaze makers have regained their mixing area but the glaze room still hasn’t regained its organisation after the floods. Some chemicals got wet and had to be discarded. So organisation and resupply is in process. Hopefully they will be back in business soon. Yes BUTTERMILK will return.

On this day we have a workshop ‘Decorative techniques on clay’ with Helen Davey. Helen is inspiring and will show us some really interesting techniques. There will be some hands-on for this workshop. This will be a full day workshop and will suit both hand builders and wheel throwers alike. About Helen Potter, Ceramic Artist, Artist and Pottery Teacher Clay intrigues me in its entirety – its qualities and the processes by which it can be formed and fired to a near-permanent state. The act of creating something out of virtually nothing is mysteriously enthralling and this medium constantly offers unseen potential. These qualities about clay art have taken me on a 37 year journey. My passion motivates me to continue pursuing new and innovative ideas for my own work, enjoying a creative environment at my home based studio, gallery and meditative space in my garden, in Brisbane, Australia. Decorative techniques are enthralling, consuming and never ending given the nature of ceramics and all the wonderful materials available to us. This intrigues me the most and I continue to be absorbed by decorative techniques and the “what if” factor. See more about Helen: www.creativeclay.com.au About the workshop Discovering the ultimate personality of your ceramic surface This workshop will comprise of discussion, demonstration and hands on segments. The workshop will allow you to create decorative techniques using glazes which will be unique to you. We will explore creating your own individual palette of colours using glazes at your disposal and formulating a unique glaze grid for future use, reference and pleasure. The main themes of the day will be using an infinite number of resist techniques, glaze on glaze, application and use of oxides to enhance your work and palette. Notes will be provided. You will need 3 x bisqued tiles approximately 20cm x 20cm made from your favourite clay. I trust that our journey, discovering the ceramic surface, will add a little experience and knowledge to your palette. The workshop is about options, ideas and the use of “tools”. From the start of my ceramic journey, learning about the ceramic surface, and the myriad ways of embellishing it, have been a particular passion. The approach to the ceramic surface determines the ultimate personality of the creative form. The details Date: Sunday 5th June Cost: Members price $170.00 payable in advance. Non-members $190.00 (or become a member for the discounted price of $26 for the balance of our financial year – October). There will be no cancellations for this workshop, unless a replacement participant can be found. Time: 9.00am to 4.00pm, with a lunch break. This workshop is a mix of demonstration and hands on. Numbers are limited to 10. Shorncliffe Pottery Club Inc members will have first option to attend this workshop before it will be opened up to the broader pottery community. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/285857e2-1b4f-4cb9-8d25-8b16878556d0/helen+davey+work+comp.jpg newsletters - May 2022 - Make it stand out Some samples of Helen’s work Back By Popular Demand Six Week Wheel Workshop with Clare Houston After positive feedback from Clare’s wheel throwing workshop in January.

It is a mix of raku clay and flax paper. So Gus, in his indeterminable way somehow located an Australian version and got it into the club store. Our version uses bamboo instead of flax. I was the guinea pig for the experiment, as I had been using both Keane’s and Feeney’s White Raku for quite a while now. Surprisingly the paper raku clay has been very enjoyable to use. It is smoother than the Keane’s or Feeney’s white raku and much more pliable to work with. It still has a fair bit of (sand) grog in it but the overall consistency is more like a JB103. Being a paper clay it can be re-moistened to continue being worked upon even after the leather hard stage. I have had success in earthenware firing using the regular construction process so far, but it does fire up to stoneware and you can throw with it as well. If you would like to try some of this white paper raku clay talk to Gus to arrange for more blocks to come into the shed store. Ed PS: I have since discovered that Keane’s also has a White Paper Raku clay, so it will be interesting to try this as well. I will let you know. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/bc8a4511-d27f-4ca6-9120-d062d8a3f212/CG02019_HomeSlider_01.jpeg newsletters - May 2022 - Make it stand out Clay Gulgong The biennial event takes place in a region of north-western New South Wales, that is globally recognised for its strong links with the field of ceramics. It is committed to bringing the best national and international artists to the beautiful town of Gulgong. The festival ran from April 9 – 15, 2022; and featured a jam-packed week long program of events that included something for everyone interested in ceramics. Keith Brymer-Jones wasn’t physically able to attend this year, but he did zoom in for a session from Margate, UK, and talked about his new book Boy in a China Shop. Clay Gulgong Festival Experiences By Clare Houston The Clay Gulgong Festival ran for a whole week in April 2022 and involved many clay related events and experiences. The tagline for this year’s festival was #clay clan, #clay tribe, #clay fam. I was lucky enough to be chosen as an assistant to help with the running of the festival and as a result I had a great ‘insider’ view. The main festival area was under large marquees that were set up on a grassy site at the top of the town, and there were also many events in all the significant buildings throughout the town. They were Masters’ Demonstrations of their processes for four hours every day, where you could sit on chairs just feet away from the Master Potter, listen to their explanations and ask questions. There were also more formal lectures/presentations by the Masters of their motivations, influences and bodies of work at the Memorial Hall. They were screenings of films from restored Mingei film archives on most evenings at the Prince of Wales Opera House. One evening there was a fancy dress pub crawl in honour of Chris Keane (from Keane Ceramics) who recently. All delegates to the festival could bring some ceramic work for display and sale, and many pieces were purchased and sold throughout the week. The last night of the festival week saw everyone partying with a banquet under the stars where there was food, music and dancing. In venues around the town there were exhibitions that included the Masters exhibition, the K-12 School Students’ Exhibition, the World Stage Exhibition, the Emerging Artists’ Exhibition, and Embers, an exhibition of wood fired work. Each exhibition had an opening event with drinks and speeches. One of the highlights for me was an event with Chester Nealie displaying his personal collection of his very best work, with speeches, champagne and doughnuts at 8am on the Monday morning. Throughout the week many of the shop windows in the main streets were turned into exhibition spaces that was called the Shop Front Trail. Alongside the clay festival, the organizers premiered a Readers and Writers Festival. There were writing workshops and coaching by the author Nikki Gemmel. There were also guest presentations discussing literary influences or books that they wrote. Up at the main site there was a trade tent with suppliers stands by Keane Ceramics, Clayworks and Blackwattle offering products and advice. There were stands from a local bookstore and international ceramics publications. There were also demonstrations of different ceramic techniques by Bill Powell, Dianne Peach, Johanna De Maine and Tatsuya Tsutsui. This year the Master Ceramicists were from Australia and New Zealand and they covered a wide range of ceramic expertise in a broad range of ceramic areas, and had an extensive experience. There was a strong wood firing contingent that included Jann Kesby, Robert Barron, Steve Williams, Ben Richardson, Rowley Drysdale and Matt McLean who makes large sculptural forms as well. Also demonstrating were Fleur Schell from WA who does delicate hand building in porcelain, Ebony Russell who works with porcelain and lustre. Steven Bowers and Geoff Mitchell were demonstrating their delicate decorative techniques. Andrea De Chatenier and Caroline Earley both from NZ covered a more fine art approach. Andrea makes sculptures using very thick glazes that melt lusciously and Caroline Earley who uses thrown forms and combines them with hand building techniques and beautiful matte glazes. It is possible to google these artist’s names and find out more about their bodies of work and awards. One of the truly great aspects of Clay Gulgong was how friendly everyone was. It was so easy to start a conversation when everyone around was so keen on clay. I feel that I made great connections with some amazing people and received invitations to visit new clay friends all around Australia. If you are keen on ceramics and pottery, I would definitely recommend attending the next festival in two years’ time.

The giant clay pot was discovered in the Paracas region, in the Pisco Valley. The fired clay vessel dimensions were 2 metres in diameter, 2.8 metres in height, and sections of 5 cm on the walls and 12 cm at the base. Inside and at different levels, archaeologists found seeds of beans, pallares, yucca, lucuma, and guavas. No remains of a kiln were found in the vicinity, as archaeologists believe the giant pot was transported approximately 2400 years ago, from an unknown location to where it was eventually discovered. 1966 was a busy year for news with the race to the Moon, the Vietnam war and multiple nuclear tests by Russia, USA and France. Most of the news stories were focussed on foreign issues, so it is understandable that this story didn’t make it to the front page of the international press. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/8239d5a3-3d86-4990-b45e-a9e464cc13c8/IMG_kiln_comp.jpg newsletters - May 2022 - Make it stand out Kiln For Sale Single Phase Kiln, 25amps,15 X 15 X 17 inside, Elements In Excellent Condition, fire to 1200 but mainly used for Earthenware.

Use kiln stilts! Kiln stilts consist of metal rods that prop up a pottery piece off the shelf, and a durable one may be used multiple times. According to pottery suppliers, beyond cone 6 (1240°C), metal rods may begin to deform, and may deform at lower temperatures under heavy weights, so stilts are best used for light-weight pieces. You can also increase the number of stilts to spread out the weight distribution, but this will result in more places requiring sanding after it is fired. For firing spoons, use straight line stilts if available, or you can also try the three pronged ones under the bowl of the spoon. Fired at cone 5 (1200°C) you shouldn’t have any trouble with slumping, although at cone 6 (1240°C) spoons could bend in the middle. To avoid this, you could add an extra stilt to support the middle.

I hope March treated you well and you found time, You time, to play and create with clay and got lost in the process. And if not, then I hope you make time during April. It’s good for you, I promise! :) Now, on to important news: Working bee 9th / 10th April - volunteer now by email to help! Our next working bee is over the weekend of Saturday 9th and Sunday 10th April to finish cleaning up outside the shed and to fix the plinths (washing them down and/or sanding and painting, as required) that were damaged by flood water. With the SAS Easter Art Show coming up in a couple of weeks (see poster at bottom), and our Expressions exhibition in October, we need to ensure our plinths are in tip-top condition for displaying art work on. Please email us now to let us know if you can help. Expressions 2022 Organising Committee - volunteer now by email to help! Expressions is only 7 months away and we need members to volunteer to help us form an organising committee ASAP. Last year we had a great response from members, it really lightened the load and ensured a successful event. It would be great to have the same response this year, including a volunteer to lead the organising committee. I do not have capacity to take on that role this year. Our black Club t-shirts are back in stock at the shed, in a variety of sizes, for $30 each. Chat to the volunteer on duty or email the Club to grab yours before they sell out again! Membership gift certificates are now available and are the perfect gift for someone you know who would like to try pottery, or for someone to give to you for use to renew your membership in October! Simply email us to arrange purchase and we will email the certificate to you. Easy. (see example of certificate further below.) Members, We want to hear from you! Later this month we will be sending out a member’s questionnaire to canvas your views on a number of topics, including how the Club is run and how the shed is set up, amongst other topics, along with inviting general comments/views. We will also hold a Member’s General Meeting in May to discuss the feedback received and agree on what changes should be made, in light of the feedback, and to hear from members in person. So keep an eye on your inboxes for that! (Remember you can email the Club’s committee at any time if you wish to raise any concerns or have suggestions.) Finally, just a reminder, that the SAS Easter Art Show is on again from 14 - 16 April, at the Callan Centre, St Patrick’s College. Don’t forget if you’d like to enter you need to do so online by Monday 4 April, Cheers and happy potting!

Over the past many months, we have been having to get work done in the back of the shed at the request of PCYC to have it bought up to standard. This has caused significant disruption to how we have been working. Now that we have done all we can we need to plan how we are going to use the space and have it set up to the best advantage for the club. In the past I have suggested moving the kilns out the back and making where the kilns are now a glazing room. There have been other ideas raised that we keep the kilns where they are and have two work areas so we can have courses running and have people working in the club at the same time. Please let us know if you have any suggestions to help us in moving the club forward. Unfortunately, we suffered some flood damage and a closure, where there were several unidentified pre-bisque items on the lower shelves that were destroyed. We also lost some equipment but with the help of members cleaning up, we are up and running again. The kilns are up and running at set temperatures confirmed by our cones after our latest issues. Please include the clay name, firing temperature range, glaze name and firing temperature range on your firing request form to ensure your work is put in the correct firing. Remember treat all work as “greenware” when moving it and only if you have to. We have had a few unexplained breakages out the back. Breakages happen, I know I have been responsible for some but if an accident happens please put a note with the item and/or let someone know so the owner can be notified to give them the opportunity to repair the item. The Glazing room did suffer water damage and some raw materials were lost in the rain event. Gabriel and Catharine are going through and continuing their fabulous work maintaining our club glazes so be patient if your favourite club glazes are not there as testing of each batch needs to be done with new raw materials before they can be put out. Looking forward to seeing more of you coming back to the club From the outback Gus, Linda, Catharine and Gabriel https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/f8ceef79-6f4f-48d3-8c15-75d6ad41936f/carli_web.jpg newsletters - April 2022 - Do you know anyone that shows an interest in your pottery?

Among the unearthed relics, one figurine is of a General and another one of a medium ranking Officer. The 25 painted pottery figurines are in good condition, and are being stored in the museum’s restoration room to ensure their safety. Located in Northwest China's Shaanxi Province, the museum covers the burial site of Qin Shi Huang, the First Emperor of the Qin Dynasty (221BC-206BC). The 3 pits consist of about 8,000 warriors, 100 chariots, 400 horses, and more than 100,000 weapons. The tomb took 39 years and 700,000 workers to reach completion. It had pearls embedded in the ceiling to represent the stars, and rivers and lakes were modelled with liquid mercury. The Terracotta Warriors, are now listed as the “Eighth Wonder of the World." Emperor Qin Shi Huang's tomb has not yet been opened.

Sometimes a glaze or firing does not produce the desired result - the colour is either too bland, the texture is not found, or there are too many errors. Pottery can be re-glazed and re-fired up to another 2 times. After the 3rd or 4th time, the pottery starts to become brittle and weak, but that’s because of the firing, not the glaze. Following are 5 ways to prepare your glaze fired pottery to be re-glazed and re-fired. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/6e4622af-c671-4436-9c93-9821ab2a6ce1/sanding+2.jpg newsletters - April 2022 - Make it stand out Sand – You can sand a glazed piece but REMEMBER always wear a dust mask. You don’t have to sand all the glaze off. Just enough for the new glaze to adhere to the old glaze. Heat – Heat up your piece with a heat gun, or microwave for 30 seconds, or even in the oven. Then apply your glaze. Glue – Brush on glue, like Elmer’s glue - a PVA glue available at Officeworks or Bunnings. Let dry and then apply your glaze. Starch – Spray on starch, let dry and then apply your glaze. Hair Spray – apply a coat of hair spray and let dry for at least an hour, then apply your glaze. Note: Don’t apply too much hair spray, glue, or starch. It may do the opposite and prevent the glaze from sticking. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/464a7f3f-8957-4deb-bf65-b9de93416686/hairspray.jpg newsletters - April 2022 - Make it stand out Applying ‘Touch Up’ Glaze Did your pottery come out of the kiln with the glaze not covered the way you thought it should? Don’t worry, you can glaze again to touch up. But before you do that, look at the problem you have to determine the strategy required: If little pores have formed in the glaze, means you have applied your glaze too thick, or you’ve fired the pottery for too short amount of time. Sand your pottery before re-glazing. If you have crawling, means that your glaze was either too thin or wasn’t adhesive enough. Use heat, glue, starch or hairspray to add more glaze on top of the existing glaze. If you have patchy glaze, means your glaze was applied too thin or you missed an area. Use heat, glue, starch or hairspray to add more glaze to the pottery.

Flooding at the shed Like a lot of people in Brisbane (and SEQ) our Club’s shed didn’t go unscathed during the rain event over the weekend of 26 and 27 February. We remained shut on the Saturday morning due to flooding of the carpark and the carpark entrance, and unfortunately, during the heaviest of the rain on the Sunday we suffered a bit of flooding within the shed (as did PCYC in their bottom hall). At the time of writing this report power has been cut off to the PCYC and our shed as we await electricians to do inspections and give us the all clear to return, when we will commence the clean up. We will send advice to members via email and on our social pages as soon as we are able to reopen. We hope everyone has stayed safe and dry over this time. Now, on to happier topics :) … March is Maker’s Month! Gabriel’s hand building course starts on Saturday 5th March with a group of mostly new-to-pottery members and we are excited to see what is produced over the next 6 weeks! Keep an eye on our social pages and our next newsletter for the masterpieces. We’re also excited to encourage our members to get busy creating and finishing pieces this month as there are upcoming opportunities for entering exhibitions and / or selling pieces through our stalls at local festivals (stalls will only go ahead if we have enough interest): SAS Easter Art Show : 14 - 16 April - the annual SAS Easter Art Show is back again over the Easter long weekend, being held in the Callan Centre, at St Patrick’s College, Shorncliffe. The online entry form is now live and it is the preferred way to enter, as it is easier for the organiser’s labeling needs. Entrants are also requested to send images of their piece/s as SAS will once again be doing a slide presentation during the exhibition. The organisers are happy for entrants to send multiple images of their piece/s, and are asked to please mark these files with the name of the artwork and number 1, 2, etc. For further information see the entry form, the SASArt Facebook page or the initial Art Show flyer below. Bluewater Festival - 15 April - please let us know ASAP by email (shorncliffepotteryclubinc@hotmail.com) if you are interested in selling some of your pieces at a stall, and can volunteer an hour or so of your day to help run the stall.

Thanks to Gus. I have learned how to replace kiln fibre as I watched him replacing the flooring fibre. Mid-fire load is in and cooling down. We will put a bisque load in on Sunday for our ninth load of the year. Hopefully we can drive rather than swim over to the shed. If putting bisque on shelf for firing please let it dry on your shelf first, so there is room for pieces that are ready to go. We are considering putting a drying shelf out back which might help the overcrowding. It is still difficult to get clay at times and the Clay Shed is finding some substitutes when our original requests aren’t available. So go ahead and experiment with some of the new clays. You might find you like them. The back room has made progress and we now have electricity out back and a motion activated security light outside which is nice as it can be pretty dark going to and from the car park.

The hand building workshops lead by Gabriel will be following a similar format and are due to commence this coming Saturday the 5th March. The committee is currently finalising another one day workshop which we propose to happen in May. This will focus on decorative techniques and will suit wheel throwers and hand builders. More will be announced on this workshop in the next newsletter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/2472fc14-7332-4de5-ad42-f0c15861c280/IMG_0745+comp.jpg newsletters - March 2022 - Make it stand out Wheel Throwing Workshop Level 1 With Clare The Level One wheel throwing workshop finished last Wednesday and by all accounts it was an excellent workshop. It ran for six weeks on Wednesday nights. There were five participants who learned to prepare clay and to throw pots more evenly. It covered centering, pulling up the walls, making cylinders and bowls, trimming bases and applying handles. The participants made many items. One evening one of the participants made a total of seven pots. The workshop was rated well by participants in the feedback survey. These are some of the comments: What they liked about the workshop: “Clear directions, plenty of one-on-one tutoring.” “The Instructor, small class, plenty of time to ask questions.” “Hands-on assistance and guidance.” Is there anything else you would like to share about the workshop? “Great – would do it again to improve!” “Clare was very generous with her knowledge, worked with me to improve techniques.” “Thank you, loved it.” Hand Building Workshop With Gabriel Again the club is very fortunate to be able to offer skill building workshops to our members. Gabriel, one of our experienced hand building members is offering to lead a six week hand building course. This will have a similar format to the wheel workshops run by Clare. These classes will run in a block of 6 weeks with a minimum of 5 participants to proceed. The class size will be limited to a maximum of 8. These will be conducted on a Saturday afternoon, so that participants and tutor have the shed to themselves, and will be able to spread out. About Gabriel : Gabriel turns to art to help unwind after spending 8+ hours a day in front of a computer. A principal theme of her work is the natural world which she explores in different mediums, including pottery, oil and acrylic painting, and photography. After completing a ceramics course at the Brisbane Institute of Art, Gabriel joined the Shorncliffe Pottery Club, where she continues to ‘play with clay’. She is best known at the club for mixing Stoneware and Mid-Fire glazes, and loves to explore surface decoration techniques such as sgraffito and carving. A regular exhibitor at Shorncliffe Pottery Club Inc’s ‘Expressions’, Gabriel has also exhibited photography at the RNA, winning several awards. You can find her art in numerous private collections. A summary of the curriculum includes: clay safety, clay preparation, building small 3D forms, pinchpot method, making slip, using coils for a 3D form, slab mug and box, recycling clay, glaze application. The first 5 weeks will be held continuously, and then there will be a one week break to allow participants to finish off pieces and have them bisque fired. The last week will be on glazing techniques using the club glazes. Start date is Saturday 5th March, 2022. Time 11.30am to 2.30pm, (3 hour’s duration). The cost will be $230 for 18 hours tuition in a 6 week block, payable in advance. This represents excellent value for money at $12.70 per hour for tuition. The usual $7 entry fee is included in the price. Firing of pieces will be at the usual club rates. Please notify the club of your intention to be part of this workshop series on this email shorncliffepotteryclubincmembership@hotmail.com. Payment instructions and confirmation will be emailed to you.

The regional institute of cultural relics and archaeology said it has cooperated with the cultural authorities in Ningcheng County to carry out an excavation of the ruins site, with over 40 houses, 33 pits and ash pits, six tombs and one pottery kiln unearthed. "Judging from the clay, the pottery making tools and the pottery kiln, we think there was a whole pottery making operation at the site," said Lian Jilin. More than 750 specimens of pottery, stone tools, bronzes and other artefacts, as well as many animal bones have also been unearthed at the site. Thanks to Ken B. for the story.

Kiln 3 will have to wear the brunt of the load for now with Earthenware and Bisque, and possible mid firing if Kiln 2 is out for an extended period. Time to start planning for the year so there is not a last-minute rush for firing to get your winning entries ready for the SAS Easter Art Show and Expressions. There has been some forward planning already, some Christmas decorations are in the first Glaze Firing. Remember to clean the bottoms of your pots to safeguard our shelves. Using the sacrificial plates has decreased shelf contamination. So keep up the good work. Also, a brief reminder that when we are loading or unloading kilns please go outside and around to dump the water in the yellow bin. The kiln area is a small space and the chance of bumping and dropping pieces is high. There is still a supply of clay at the club although our regular clays are not yet back in full production. And importantly… don't forget to fill out your firing forms correctly and place your maker’s mark on all your pieces.

Dogs can be trained to help people suffering from such disorders as seizures, and petting a dog can lower your blood pressure and reduce the risk of stress-related illnesses. The healing power of dogs was well known in antiquity, too. At Epidaurus, the sanctuary dedicated to Asclepius, the ancient Greek god of medicine, sacred dogs (and snakes) are said to have licked the wounds of pilgrims who came to be cured. An inscription found at the site records that a growth on a boy’s neck was healed when one of the temple’s dogs licked it. Three tombs, an urn, and a terracotta dog statue (pictured) were discovered in Rome’s Appio Latino district during work on the city’s water system. According to Italy’s Ministry of Culture, the tombs were part of a funerary complex constructed between the first century B.C. and the first century A.D. It’s possible that the statue was associated with a cult center not far from where the hoard was found. Representations of dogs are very rare and they are often associated with healing.

Reclaiming works best when the clay is bone dry. Here is a simple technique to speed the drying process. Purchase a wastepaper container from an office supply store. It is made out of expanded metal so it contains many holes. This container is sprayed with black paint, so it does not rust but you can use a plastic bin as well, as long as it has mesh like sides. When you trim or carve your pieces, throw the scraps in the container to air dry. It will take half the time to dry and you can wash out the empty container with water to easily clean it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/45c0d1d9-e13d-4e80-bf20-6d267274e9b5/clay+scraps+basket_0087.jpeg newsletters - February 2022 - Make it stand out Courtesy Ceramic Arts Network.

We are starting this year off with a fresh feel in the Club’s shed. Over the break our volunteers cleaned all the shelves and tools, hosed out the rooms, re-organised the bat and tool shelves and made a lot of new sacrificial plates to put under glazed items for firing (this saves the kiln shelves if they run during firing). The rectification works in the side room will re-commence at the end of January. Hopefully that will be the last of the works needed and then we can make that space usable again… perhaps taking on some of the great suggestions made by members at the AGM at the end of November, including having glazes stored at a better height for use. I hope you got to enjoy spending time with family and friends over the festive period, along with having some time to play with clay at home. Show us your creations! Email them to us at: shorncliffepotteryclubinc@hotmail.com to have them featured on our website or on our social pages! Cheers and happy reading!

The firing shelves are almost empty as kilns kept firing over first week of the holiday. A Thank you Gus for the dedication. A few things left are on bisque and midfire spaces. Shelves, tables and tools are cleaned and ready and waiting for the burst of members‘ creativity to come with the new year. Please, make an effort to keep them clean and tidy. I hear comments from people that they have to wash tools and bats etc. before they can use them so as not to contaminate their work. So let us make a resolution to clean everything before putting away. And remember to wipe your shelve space down periodically. Members will be appreciative of your efforts. CHECK the kiln room shelves for unclaimed pottery. If not claimed by end of the month it will be disposed of. So be sure and duck back in for your creations.

These will be conducted on a Wednesday evening, so that participants and tutor have the club to themselves. If there is continued demand for these sessions, more will be offered in the future. We have been very fortunate to be able to engage club member Clare Houston as tutor. Clay experience: Clare completed an internship of three months duration at Windmill Pottery in 2019. This involved participating in all processes of a working pottery, including making clay, assisting with classes as well as throwing on the wheel, trimming and finishing to create objects from bowls, mugs, lidded vessels and teapots. Clare also completed a three month internship at ceramic production company Made OF Australia. Clare has completed ceramics classes at the Brisbane Institute of Art and is currently taking classes with Bill Powell at Ceramx, School of Clay and Glass and tuition with Jackie Gasson and the Sunshine Coast Clayworkers. She was recently awarded First Prize in Wheel throwing at Shorncliffe Pottery Club’s “Expressions” exhibition, 2021. Teaching Experience: Clare has experience in tutoring one on one and in small groups in her previous career as a Chef for 28 years and Chef Trainer at the Edgwarebury Hotel as part of the Regal Hotel group in North London, UK. She also holds a Graduate Teaching Diploma from Griffith University, Brisbane. Clare says “I'm really enjoying my journey learning ceramics and pottery, and I'm looking forward to passing on skills and knowledge to other club members.” The program will include clay preparation, throwing a cylinder, a bowl, an altered cylinder (eg. vase or similar shape), trimming, turning and preparing pieces for firing. Start date: 12th January, 2022. Time: 6.00pm to 9.00pm Cost: $200 for a 6 week block, payable in advance. (The usual $7 club entry fee is included in the price.)

Jenny sold out her collection of bats over the exhibition and even had orders for more to be made.

This annual festival takes over the main street in Sandgate creating a cheery markets atmosphere for the public to do some Christmas shopping, eat dinner and enjoy the street parade that ends with Santa’s arrrival. See the Jingle all the Bay Facebook page for all the photos from this year’s event. We send a HUGE thanks to Linda R. and Clare H. for setting up and running the stall. Sales were made and we had interest from people wanting to become members. As Linda said, it was a learning experience for how to set up and present merchandise for an evening markets. We hadn’t done this before, so next time we’ll be better equipped and hopefully have our own power supply solution. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/af367a97-d190-4dd7-856c-5da31da522e9/clare+jingle+all+the+bay.jpg newsletters - January 2022 - Make it stand out Clare H. at the Jingle All The Bay 2021 stall. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1610152846790-IW7XU7H3MN4NWMV7HB39/SPC+newsletter+title+birthday.png newsletters - January 2022 To all our valued members who are having a birthday this month, we hope you have an exciting day and are spoilt rotten by your loved ones: Jessica Barbaro, Gayle Bishop, Monica Church, Kathy Dawney, Clare Houston, Jessica Hurst, Rose Kelly, Monja Martin, Fiona Morgan, Alyssa Ryan, Rachael Terry, Camela Vosten If we have missed anybody, our sincere apologies – drop us an email so that we can include you next time! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1611565727249-H9SLTBXU4KWXLZUXVU5X/SPC+newsletter+title+Exhibitions.jpg newsletters - January 2022 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1632690158749-JMFPKJ99H92GYOG73TES/artisan+exhibition+2022.png newsletters - January 2022 - Make it stand out Artists & Crafters New Exhibition 2 & 3 April 2022 Brisbane Showgrounds We are proudly holding our inaugural 'Heritage to Contemporary' Exhibition over two days in April.

The clay can be current or even decades old, it doesn’t matter. Put on some eye protection and using a hammer, start breaking the clay from the edge into small pieces. If you are using clay scraps make sure the clay is from the same firing range. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/af248c1f-8eb8-4235-8e79-7b21fe1789ad/11-add-water.jpeg newsletters - January 2022 - Make it stand out Place the broken clay shards in the bucket and fill with water, covering the clay completely plus an additional 3cm of water over the top. In a day or two, once the slurry in the bucket feels smooth, remove the slurry to a drying work surface. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/d3f36b8d-c3f8-4aaa-898f-c1ef7209affd/16-poke-holes.jpeg newsletters - January 2022 - Make it stand out Spread the clay evenly to about 60mm thick and smooth the edges so that the clay will dry out evenly. Poke holes in the clay for faster and more even drying. Let it dry to the consistency you need for either hand building or wheel throwing. It could take hours or a few days depending on the amount of clay and the weather. If you have to leave the clay unattended for a length of time, place a plastic cover over the surface to slow down the drying. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/b4bdfd46-07da-412c-ad47-f2c5ad2b9009/18-remove-clay-from-plaster-board.jpeg newsletters - January 2022 - Make it stand out When the clay can be pulled off easily from the work surface, remove it, and divide it into pieces for wedging. Tip: For ease of handling, size the clay into chunks to match your wedging strength. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/a0762615-db39-4d07-967e-52ce19e9e437/22-wedge-wedge.jpeg newsletters - January 2022 - Make it stand out Wedge thoroughly and place the clay in sealed plastic bags. Use multiple bags to make sure it is air tight. Store your clay in larger sizes so that it doesn't dry out as quickly – giving you longer time to use it. If you fail at any of these steps and the clay dries out too much, don’t worry, just start again at the beginning ; ) original text and photos courtesy Lakeside Pottery - edit Ed Trost https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1606288900560-41K8GEKGFZG4LIAS27GX/SPC+newsletter+title+Committee.jpg newsletters - January 2022 President: Tamara Vitale Vice President: Ken Bull Secretary: Caroline Schleimer Treasurer: Robyn Brown Committee Members: Gus Saunders, Linda Rosenthal, Clare Houston & Ann Gillespie Newsletter Editor: Ed Trost email: shorncliffepotteryclubinc@hotmail.com and follow us on website + instagram + facebook …Until next month… HAPPY POTTING! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1625808660057-QHYEJJAJMKOR46QHEAA4/SPC+newsletter+footer+template.png newsletters - January 2022 https://www.shorncliffepotteryclubinc.com.au/newsletters/2021-december monthly 0.5 2021-12-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1603067433823-KMLIOYYG008VOJG0X1EE/SPC+newsletter+header+template.png newsletters - December 2021 ISSUE #015 Hello Potters It’s the end of the year already so I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a happy holiday season and to thank you for reading this newsletter over the past year.

Like Ed, I can’t believe we are at December already and it feels like it is going to be another quick month ahead. I hope everyone is able to stop and take some moments to enjoy life along the way … clay time = serenity time. The Club has just had its AGM and I send a big thank you to all members who were able to came along last Saturday, and Congratulations to the election of the continuing committee membership and to our new committee member - Robyn Brown, who was elected as Treasurer!

Start practicing writing 2022. As usual the kilns have been working overtime. Gus just turned on Midfire load 81 and I just loaded Bisque for number 82. We hope we will do at least 6 more loads before the end of the year. Even with Covid 19 and several lockdowns the club members have kept us busy and produced a lot of pottery. The novelty of opening the kilns remains exciting. We do ask that you read the new firing forms, that we need for safe firing, and help us by filling out the temperature information of both your clay and matching glaze. To identify the glaze you need, Gabriel and Catharine have made mid fire glazes with a temperature between 1162°C and 1240°C in the green buckets. We aim to fire at cone 6 -1200°C for best results using the glaze in the green buckets. The stoneware/high fire glaze with a temperature range between 1263°C -1280°C is in the white buckets marked SW. We aim to fire at cone 9 -1260°C for best results using the glaze in the white buckets. Please match your firing temperature of your clay to the correct glaze. We have commercial earthenware clear in the kiln room with a temperature range of 1100°C to 1120°C. We fire our Earthenware to 1100°C cone 03. Keep on playing with clay.

It was a weekend event that celebrated clay, community and creativity. On that weekend I visited 2 ceramic studio’s work being displayed at Meerschaum Vale Hall (because of COVID) – Emma Walke from Dhirrawong Ceramics and Tracey Piccoli from Pics Piece Ceramics. Their works were very interesting and unique. Emma’s indigenous background was prominent with motifs from her culture used throughout her work, as can be seen in the teapots above. The Open Studio had a constant stream of people stopping and looking at their exhibition across the weekend and provided a good number of sales. story and images Ed Trost courtesy the artist https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1632690158749-JMFPKJ99H92GYOG73TES/artisan+exhibition+2022.png newsletters - December 2021 - Make it stand out Artists & Crafters Exhibition 2 & 3 April 2022 Brisbane Showgrounds We are proudly holding our inaugural 'Heritage to Contemporary' Exhibition over two days in April.

The wheel needs to start out fast and gradually get slower. Centring should be done with your wheel at full speed. This feels counterintuitive at first, but - the faster your wheel is going the easier it is. Once centred, you need to shift down the gears as your pot gets bigger. You should be at 3/4 speed when opening out and compressing the base, then move to 1/2 speed for pulling up the walls - the taller your pot gets the slower your wheel. ‘YOU’ – need to be moving slower than your wheel. If your hands are moving quicker than your clay - you will end up with a wonky pot! Do every step slowly. Even when you don’t have your hands on the clay - move slowly! Sometimes just leaning over to get a tool, but moving too quickly, can knock and destroy a beautiful freshly-thrown pot. courtesy karaleighfordceramics.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/be04709b-672a-4947-8a3a-3176f49fb785/ceramic+pots+2560.jpg newsletters - December 2021 - Make it stand out Is It Ceramics or Pottery? Technically speaking, ceramics are things made from non-metal materials that are permanently changed when they’re heated. The classic example is clay: even a completely dry clay product will disintegrate in water, but once it’s heated to between 350°C and 1400°C, it can get as wet as you want with no problems. Glazes, which are actually a type of glass, are also ceramic; the firing process makes them stiffer than glass that’s poured or blown, allowing them to bind to the clay surface. Pottery is a type of ceramic, specifically containers made out of clay. (So an art piece made out of clay would not be pottery — it would be ceramics.) ‘Pottery’ and ‘pot’, both derive from the Old English potian, "to push". When we consider how the potter pushes as they throw the clay on the wheel, it is easy to see how the process got its name. story courtesy www.whatsthediff.org image courtesy the guardian https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1606288900560-41K8GEKGFZG4LIAS27GX/SPC+newsletter+title+Committee.jpg newsletters - December 2021 President: Tamara Vitale Vice President: Ken Bull Secretary: Caroline Schleimer Treasurer: Robyn Brown Committee Members: Gus Saunders, Linda Rosenthal, Clare Houston & Ann Gillespie Newsletter Editor: Ed Trost email: shorncliffepotteryclubinc@hotmail.com and follow us on website + instagram + facebook …Until next month… HAPPY POTTING! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1625808660057-QHYEJJAJMKOR46QHEAA4/SPC+newsletter+footer+template.png newsletters - December 2021 https://www.shorncliffepotteryclubinc.com.au/newsletters/2021-november monthly 0.5 2021-10-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1603067433823-KMLIOYYG008VOJG0X1EE/SPC+newsletter+header+template.png newsletters - November 2021 ISSUE #014 Hello Potters Well wasn’t Expressions 2021 exciting.

The kilns have been running back to back and it has been an intense few weeks. We are hoping that we will be back to normal this week. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1c3829ad-613d-48bd-8047-c2c3aa8f2389/clean+up+pottery+gallery.png newsletters - November 2021 - Make it stand out On a down note, these are photos demonstrating some sloppy cleaning up. The supervisors would like people to be more diligent in their clean up and to look around to clean where needed – even though it might not be their mess. This is important as the mess contaminates others’ work, or they have to clean before they are able to use equipment, or the supervisors end up cleaning which adds to their work load. If everyone can clean up their area properly it will make it more pleasurable for everyone else. If you have any questions about cleaning just ask your supervisor. Happy potting.

It was held over Friday 22 to Sunday 24 October in the Callan Centre, at St Patrick’s College in Shorncliffe. The Expressions Committee worked hard to bring the exhibition to fruition and it wouldn’t have happened without the initial support of St Partrick’s College, for generously hosting us - Thank You! We are very grateful for the facilities the College made available to us and we had many visitors comment on how great the space was to hold an exhibition. “It really gives you the space you need to be able to view artwork properly!” We also have a HUGE Thank You to give to our sponsors - our local State Member of Parliament and 2 local government Councillors, and all the small businesses who have been hit so hard in the last 18 months, who still stepped up and provided sponsorship for prizes for our Awards. We encourage all our readers to please support the businesses shown in our Sponsorship banner below. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/65f24416-6bef-4e76-a101-53902ddefdaf/expressions+sponsors+board+v03.jpg newsletters - November 2021 - Make it stand out Thank You also goes to the 61 artists who entered 123 pieces into our judged section of the exhibition, particularly to our first-timers who were hesitant. How great does it now feel to have had your art as part of an exhibition?! Thank you everyone for creating such interesting and beautiful pieces. It was so lovely to walk around the exhibition and see so many different types of art and the degree of quality shown. This was evident in how difficult it was for the judges including Jackie Gasson, who did a remarkable job, to make a final decision on the works. Which brings me to the Award Winners… Our Opening Night was held on Friday 22 October, at 6pm and attendees were quick to purchase pieces… our sales tables were kept busy right up to 7pm when the awards ceremony commenced. Thank you to all the artists, their family and friends, our local government Councillors, Jared Cassidy and Sandy Landers, and the art lovers for attending. It was great to see so many people enjoying the arts.

Lastly, I would like to give a huge thanks to - Ann Gillespie, Clare Houston, Linda Rosenthal, Heddy Shears, Jean Smith, Jenny Kingdom and Margaret Pettit for all your help in organising this event. It looked like a Mt Everest task ahead of us when we first started but we got there in the end; and to the club members who volunteered their time along side us to do shifts at the exhibition - Carmela Anile, Gabriel Knauth, Ken Bull, Rebecca Mason, Sarah Schulz and Susanne Vincent.

And of all the crafts, perhaps pottery does this most successfully. The messiness of working with wet clay and the need to follow a process, forces practitioners to put their phones and computers aside. Now is a time when many of us yearn to slow down, and focus on a single, absorbing activity. "Clay acts almost as an antidote to the overwhelming nature of the digital world. It interrupts your compulsive email-checking. Your mind has a single focus, so the practice can feel meditative or therapeutic. There is no way to speed up clay drying or firing, there's no 'clay-microwave', ceramics takes as much time to make today as it did 2000 years ago." says Justin Waverek Story courtesy BBC.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1610152846790-IW7XU7H3MN4NWMV7HB39/SPC+newsletter+title+birthday.png newsletters - November 2021 To all our valued members who are having a birthday this month, we hope you have an exciting day and are spoilt rotten by your loved ones: Ciana Crispin, Linda Douglas, Kew Gibson, Linda Hanson, Shirley King, Jo Masterman, Cassie McCosker, Anne Murray, Patricia Robinson, Caecelia Skipsey, Deborah Smith, Helen Wood If we have missed anybody, our sincere apologies – drop us an email so that we can include you next time! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1611565727249-H9SLTBXU4KWXLZUXVU5X/SPC+newsletter+title+Exhibitions.jpg newsletters - November 2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1632690158749-JMFPKJ99H92GYOG73TES/artisan+exhibition+2022.png newsletters - November 2021 - Make it stand out Artists & Crafters Exhibition 2 & 3 April 2022 Brisbane Showgrounds We are proudly holding our inaugural 'Heritage to Contemporary' Exhibition over two days in April.

It involves rubbing the clay with a hard object, like a smooth pebble or the back of a spoon. Note, the pottery you are burnishing will only become as smooth as the object you are using. Any nicks or uneven bumps in the burnishing object will damage the clay surface. The action compresses the surface particles of clay, aligning the clay platelets. This creates the reflective surface. Burnishing is an ancient tradition and evolved before glazes had been developed. Whilst burnishing does create a moisture repellent surface, especially if waxed, it is not watertight. As such, burnished pottery is largely decorative and can’t be used as functional ware. Burnished pottery needs to be fired below 1000°C otherwise it loses its polish. It is often used as a way of preparing pottery for pit firing, saggar firing, or raku. All of which involve firing at lower temperatures. Clay can be burnished when it is leather hard by holding it in your lap or on a cushion. There is no right or wrong way of rubbing the clay. It’s important however to change the direction of your stroke because if you continue rubbing in one direction you can get lines and ridges in the clay. It’s also possible to burnish pottery on the wheel. After trimming, grab your burnishing stone or metal spoon and hold it against the pot as it rotates. You can also burnish bone dry clay however you need to add some source of moisture. To do this is, add a little water or oil, or a mixture of both, with a sponge. The lubricant will be absorbed quickly into the bone dry surface. So add a little at a time with the sponge and burnish that area before moving onto the next. story from the pottery wheel https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1633331288805-MDPQ7V7C2QK6LE7BBL46/burnishing+tools.jpg newsletters - November 2021 - Various burnishing tools https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1634604787484-85A6QBML6YZQFG00L7IK/lightbulb%252Bburnishing%252Btool.jpg newsletters - November 2021 - A bright idea for a burnishing tool https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1633331289450-SQ7B1UWMJ5P0PR2B7VUX/process-burnishing.jpg newsletters - November 2021 - Using the back of a spoon to burnish https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1633331621355-9SM81GDSGRJ13A00DYJ0/unnamed.jpg newsletters - November 2021 - Wheel burnishing using a polished stone https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1606288900560-41K8GEKGFZG4LIAS27GX/SPC+newsletter+title+Committee.jpg newsletters - November 2021 President: Tamara Vitale Vice President: Ken Bull Secretary: Caroline Schleimer Acting Treasurer: Tamara Vitale Committee Members: Gus Saunders, Linda Rosenthal, Clare Houston & Ann Gillespie Newsletter Editor: Ed Trost email: shorncliffepotteryclubinc@hotmail.com and follow us on website + instagram + facebook …Until next month… HAPPY POTTING! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1625808660057-QHYEJJAJMKOR46QHEAA4/SPC+newsletter+footer+template.png newsletters - November 2021 https://www.shorncliffepotteryclubinc.com.au/newsletters/2021-october monthly 0.5 2021-10-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1603067433823-KMLIOYYG008VOJG0X1EE/SPC+newsletter+header+template.png newsletters - October 2021 ISSUE #013 Hello Potters Only 3 weeks to go to Expressions 2021 and Monday 11 October is the last day for entry applications.

So get those pots in for firing so they will be ready for the exhibition. Time is running out. The kilns continue to crank out bisque, earthenware and stoneware at a steady pace. Gus averted a disaster as he heard a cracking sound when closing the kiln. Fortunately the shelf didn’t crash down and smash any pottery and he was able to reload with a good shelf. Our kiln gods seem to be working well. : ) But the cracking shelf is an indication that shelves are damaged by glazes contaminating them and they become no longer serviceable. Incorrect glaze or clay, for the firing temperature, melts into the shelf as a flux, and as the shelves are clay themselves it ruins the shelf. The one that cracked was the result of two mid-fire (green bucket) glazed pots being put through stoneware with the glaze running and melting into the shelf. Small amounts can be saved by grinding but any glaze run off can weaken the shelves. We are asking people to make sacrificial plates for items to be placed on, so the shelves are protected. This is in addition to ensuring the firing declaration form is fully completed and correct for the firing temperature. Dipping pottery bottoms in wax is also a good preventative for the glaze being too close to the bottom. The wax is in the back room. Just remember to turn off the machine after use. Glazing put on too thickly appears to be the main culprit for glaze dripping and crawling. Remember when dipping to stick to the 1,2,3 counting process. 1 down… 2 in… 3 out As a result of this incident, we are going to have to replace most of the small kiln shelves at $141each. ( Large shelves $256 plus cutting are to be assessed) To avoid a repetition all firing forms must list : the glaze name and firing temperature as on the packaging the clay name and firing temperatures as on the packaging Sacrificial bowls/biscuits/props must be used with multiple glazes A 6mm clear no glaze line, from the bottom to the lowest glaze point (unless on a sacrificial BOWL) Reclaimed or unknown clay mixtures will only be put through Earthenware. Reclaimed single type clay can be fired to the package temperature range. All firing forms, clay and glaze must match the firing range or your items will be rejected. All damage from incorrect glazing/clays must be paid for by the offending member. See you all at Expressions 2021.

A prominent Australian ceramicist, he says it is a creative passion which was sparked decades ago when he studied art in the 1970s. After a 30-year career teaching art and design with TAFE NSW, he now spends most of his time creating on his bush property, on the NSW Mid North Coast. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1630916788269-LVUC1HSRS90YDWNHNXK5/steve+williams+03.png newsletters - October 2021 - Make it stand out Steve enjoys the peace and solitude of his bush property, which he says allows him to tap into his creativity. He enjoys creating woodfired ceramics using sustainably-sourced local materials including clays, timber, and rocks. The landscape has become an important backdrop for his work. "The influences in your work come from the triggers around you, whether that's the material, or the colours in the landscape." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1630916856998-XAMDX1B974Y9GCI5IV3L/steve+williams+04.png newsletters - October 2021 - Make it stand out His works are made in one sitting, where the wheel-thrown form progresses to the firing with minimum intervention. His unique pottery wheel is also an important part of his creative process. "It's a 100-year-old timber kickwheel and that forces you to slow down a bit. You have to provide the energy, but that's fun, it's part of the holistic approach of being off the grid and living quieter," he said.

Remember to always test on a piece of pottery first before committing to the process and always wear a mask when sanding or spraying pottery. Step 1 Purchase some sheets of ‘wet and dry’ sandpaper from your local hardware or auto shop. It comes in various roughness grains (grit) so you may want to start around 400 grit and work your way up from 600 to 1200 and finally 2000. The higher the grit number the smoother it is. Cut the sand paper into squares about 8cm by 8cm for ease of use. Step 2 Wet the surface of the pottery and the square of sandpaper with water from a shallow bowl, then begin to lightly sand using the wet sandpaper. Run the piece of sandpaper back and forth over the pottery or in small circles, spending about 30 seconds on each area, rinsing the sandpaper and the clay frequently. Step 3 Repeat the process with sandpaper of a slightly finer grit then repeat again with an even finer grit of sandpaper until the surface of the pottery is completely smooth and even in texture. When the water in the bowl becomes cloudy from the clay, empty it out and refill the bowl with clean water. Step 4 Buff the sanded pottery with a piece of old denim (not new denim as the dye may run) or maybe use some canvas or an old t-shirt. Hold the denim in one hand and the pottery in the other hand and rub the denim vigorously over the surface. The more quickly you move the denim, the higher the shine you will achieve. Step 5 For an even more stunning result you can apply a polish to the pottery using a water-based acrylic by either dipping it in the polish, or brushing or spraying it, onto the surface. When brushing, work quickly so the polish does not dry in between strokes. Some products you can use include Liquitex - High Gloss Varnish, or Krylon Spray - Triple Thick Crystal Clear Glaze, available from good art supply stores.

When these have been well used, they become soft and floppy, and make a nice flexible sanding tool. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1606288900560-41K8GEKGFZG4LIAS27GX/SPC+newsletter+title+Committee.jpg newsletters - October 2021 President: Tamara Vitale Vice President: Ken Bull Secretary: Caroline Schleimer Acting Treasurer: Tamara Vitale Committee Members: Gus Saunders, Linda Rosenthal, Clare Houston & Ann Gillespie Newsletter Editor: Ed Trost email: shorncliffepotteryclubinc@hotmail.com and follow us on website + instagram + facebook …Until next month… HAPPY POTTING! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1625808660057-QHYEJJAJMKOR46QHEAA4/SPC+newsletter+footer+template.png newsletters - October 2021 https://www.shorncliffepotteryclubinc.com.au/newsletters/2021-september monthly 0.5 2024-07-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1603067433823-KMLIOYYG008VOJG0X1EE/SPC+newsletter+header+template.png newsletters - September 2021 ISSUE #012 Hello Potters Happy 1st Birthday to the SPCI Newsletter – it has come a long way since the first issue and your contributions have made it special.

Thank you so much! On Sunday 22 August, twelve club members participated in a workshop lead by club member Adrian Coles. Adrian generously donated his time and experience to guide this workshop, giving members a lot of handy tips and new techniques, or refining techniques for those with more experience. A range of small, and not so small, animals were created by our members including lizards, snakes, octopuses and a few fantasy creatures.

With premium, the four–handled jar sold for USD$1.56 million to an American museum. The jar was discovered 50 years ago by folk historian Dr. John Burrison. Crocker Farm called it “among Dave Drake’s greatest known works.” They qualified the statement writing, “Several factors – its size, form, glaze, and most importantly, inclusion of an incised poem – define it as such.” At 62cm high and carrying 94 litres, the extra handles were necessary so that two people could lift it when full. As the work was too large to be dipped, the alkaline olive-green glaze was instead poured over the piece, giving it an aesthetic not seen in many works by Drake. Among the most alluring features of the jar was the poem incised by the potter: “A very large jar which has 4 handles, pack it full of fresh meats - then light candles.” Less than 35 of Drake’s poem jars are known and they are considered the most important examples within his body of work, given that enslaved African Americans, were not taught or allowed to read and write during this time. The poem is believed to be a reference to its intended purpose as a meat jar and the practice of sealing the lid with candle wax. courtesy of www.antiquesandthearts.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1610152846790-IW7XU7H3MN4NWMV7HB39/SPC+newsletter+title+birthday.png newsletters - September 2021 To all our valued members who are having a birthday this month, we hope you have an exciting day and are spoilt rotten by your loved ones: Angela Anderson, Catherine Bennett, Jenny Chirnside, Tara Cross, Kym Donaldson, Gabriel Knauth, Isabella LeCole, Rebecca Mason, Karen Roberts.

Thinner, or completely surrounded by air, edges are a vulnerable area where fast or uneven drying can cause warping and cracking. To protect thin edges, tear up plastic strips and place them on the rims of still damp pots, thereby slowing the drying process. Pottery with a level rim can even be inverted to rest on its rim, effectively turning the whole piece into an edgeless closed form (though this can obviously be hazardous for very delicate, unbalanced forms, or not-quite-level rimmed pieces). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1628035123906-AFQQ6U05H3M0DG36TH2Z/drying+tips+vertical.jpg newsletters - September 2021 - Tips for Drying Your Work Evenly 1. When drying pottery, place a plastic cover over your pots. 2. Uneven drying causes tension that can crack handles and rims. 3. Wrap handles and rims with plastic to help equalise drying. 4. Dry pots upside down if you can to even out the drying process. courtesy of ceramicartsnetwork.org https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1628035180587-3BUKK9GJIX1365YTX8O7/reconstitute+clay+tips.jpg newsletters - September 2021 - Make it stand out images courtesy of wikihow.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1606288900560-41K8GEKGFZG4LIAS27GX/SPC+newsletter+title+Committee.jpg newsletters - September 2021 President: Tamara Vitale Vice President: Ken Bull Secretary: Caroline Schleimer Acting Treasurer: Tamara Vitale Committee Members: Gus Saunders, Linda Rosenthal, Clare Houston & Ann Gillespie Newsletter Editor: Ed Trost email: shorncliffepotteryclubinc@hotmail.com and follow us on website + instagram + facebook …Until next month… HAPPY POTTING! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1625808660057-QHYEJJAJMKOR46QHEAA4/SPC+newsletter+footer+template.png newsletters - September 2021 https://www.shorncliffepotteryclubinc.com.au/newsletters/2021-august monthly 0.5 2021-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1603067433823-KMLIOYYG008VOJG0X1EE/SPC+newsletter+header+template.png newsletters - August 2021 ISSUE #011 Hello Potters It’s less than 3 months to go to Expressions 2021 in October, that’s right – so I hope you are progressing with your pottery creations.

(the SPC Inc management committee) celebrated its 1 year anniversary on 23 July, and agreed to the paradox that the time has passed quickly (given all we have achieved - particularly getting to stay in the shed!, and are still working towards - our own lease with the BCC!) but that it also feels like time has passed slowly. had our stall at the Einbunpin Festival on Sunday 25 July - and it was a great day. Please have a read of the Review further below about our clay day out. As for August, well we have more work and fun times ahead of us.

There was a rush of work , which came into the kilns with people getting pots ready for the Eubunpin Festival. The festival was a success except for a few bursts of wind which created havoc. As usual the kilns seem to never get a rest which means Gus is working overtime as he does the bulk of the loading. He is magic at fitting things in, especially when we get big pieces. And lately we have had a few big ones and strange shaped ones. But they always seem to get fitted in. We are working to get more air flow so the temperature in the kiln is more consistent throughout. This means we may not fit as much in each load. We don’t want to see people missing out, so it is important to plan a head. Expressions will be at the end of October so start preparing those exhibition pieces and get them fired early, rather than later. The glaze makers continue to mix their magic chemicals and are making and testing lots of different glazes for us. There have been a few mishaps damaging shelves with running glazes so please be conscious of not applying it too thickly when dipping or pouring. We are using more sacrificial platters to manage these mishaps, however avoidance is the much preferred method to protect our shelves. Remember when completing the firing forms you are declaring that you are responsible for the correct clay name, correct glaze name and correct firing temperature details and you have used the correct firing form. The firing forms are required to be completed before items are allowed to be fired. Failure to do this can result in glazes running onto the shelf during the firing process. To remove the excess glaze off the shelf by grinding, weakens it and the glaze can also seep into the shelf and come back to the surface when fired, causing a new pot to stick to the shelf. The shelves are reasonably expensive so we don’t want to be purchasing them when it can easily be avoided. Take extra care when you are glazing and ask the kiln or glaze team if you are unsure. Clay supplies are still hit and miss and we are trying to keep a range of clays you all like. Unfortunately, Walkers 10, white hand building and Raku Gold are not available. We have sculptural fine which is as close to White Hand Building as we can get. We have some White Earthenware clay to try that vitrifies at midfire for functional ware. Only a few PB103 and JB3 are in stock, we will try for Walkers 10 next week. BRT, White Raku, EW and Stoneware paper clay, and Bennet’s and Feeney’s Terracotta are all at the club Housekeeping issues: Bats are being put away without being cleaned. Also, tools which includes clay cutters are being put away with clay on them. Please clean your bats (top bottom and around edges), tools, and water containers before putting them away. As always thanks for everyone’s support and help in keeping the club running smoothly.

This will be tutored by one of our club members, Adrian Coles. This is a workshop for the handbuilders who would like to explore making something wild and eccentric. Adrian is generously donating his time for this workshop so that members can enjoy a reduced fee to participate. Introducing Adrian Coles Adrian has a Swiss background and comes from a family of famous sculptors and potters. Adrian’s mother was a legend at the Petrie Markets where she was known for her clay birds. Adrian learnt pottery from his mother as a child, selling alongside her at the markets. Later he was apprenticed at Bellbird Glen as a functional wheel throwing potter and then at Ceramicraft as a mould pourer. Adrian transitioned to become an artist, and a life covered in mud, creating wheel works, sculpting and mould making.

Over the day we had: three members, Margaret P, Adrian C and Ann G (and briefly Gabriel K), give throwing demonstrations, 17 people tried our ‘Have a Go’ offer on the pottery wheel, 8 members put items up for sale, 47 pieces sold (across all sellers), and welcomed a few new members. The organising sub-committee sends a HUGE Thank you to Gus for helping us to set-up and pull down, and to members Sarah S, Carmela A, Pat R, Gabriel K and Rebecca M for volunteering their time to assist us on the stall over the day. See you again next year Einbunpin!

Bad posture can result in the following: Stress in your legs and feet Injury to your wrists Creation of a carpal tunnel Injury to your fingers Back pain and headaches Remember to sit at the level of the wheel head, or higher. But don’t be super arched over. Keep your back straight, your arms locked together, and make sure that your body is comfortable. If you feel that you are hunching over, you can use a mirror to check your profile. Options for maintaining good posture when wheel throwing include: some people throw standing up, others like to do it with a chair in a different position, some raise the seat of the wheel or the wheel itself, some like to stand against a wall to brace their body and have more strength, some swear by standing on a foam rubber mat as it reduces the stress on their feet and legs. So you see you have many options. The best thing to do is to be aware of your throwing posture, and if it hurts, take care of the problem right away, don’t let the pain continue. Throwing shouldn’t cause any pain or discomfort. Below are some examples of ways you can heighten your position or wheel in order to maintain good posture. courtesy of spinningpots.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1625366505279-CQAWTBKA9GF8NOBQYKAX/wheel+on+platform.jpg newsletters - August 2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1625366567919-S67E3JBV2RQ206JPJ88D/awkward+1.png newsletters - August 2021 - Make it stand out Posture is vitally important when you are throwing on the wheel.

Photo: Ridhwaan Moolla From the Sydney Morning Herald 31 July 2021 “Buy what you love and what speaks to you, not what is ‘fashionable’ or the new ‘cool’ thing … classics are always timeless and in demand.” “Have pieces in your space you connect with, whether it’s on a superficial level or in a more personally meaningful way.” “You don’t have to go to interior design shops to find amazing pieces. Visit open studios and buy local.” “Touch ceramics and see how they feel. Mixing and matching finishes, textures and colours adds dimension to a space, from the hallway to a dining table.” “Don’t feel like you need to match pieces. Combining different pieces evokes different moods, emotions and shows your personality.” “Look for objects you are drawn to and think about the environment they will inhabit. If you plan to keep and cherish objects, think about their longevity and how they will inhabit your home for years.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1625724468818-GSJWQ1GF4T0RZ4D9OYX9/blisters.jpg newsletters - August 2021 - Common Glaze Problems Shivering - A glaze with a lower expansion compared to the clay Crazing - A glaze with a higher expansion compared to the clay Crawling - Drying of underglaze before the application of the overglaze or excessive glaze Blisters - Excessive glaze applied Pin-Holing - Using glaze that isn’t mixed well or a badly controlled firing process image courtesy flyeschool.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1606288900560-41K8GEKGFZG4LIAS27GX/SPC+newsletter+title+Committee.jpg newsletters - August 2021 President: Tamara Vitale Vice President: Ken Bull Secretary: Caroline Schleimer Acting Treasurer: Tamara Vitale Committee Members: Gus Saunders, Linda Rosenthal, Clare Houston & Ann Gillespie Newsletter Editor: Ed Trost email: shorncliffepotteryclubinc@hotmail.com and follow us on website + instagram + facebook …Until next month… HAPPY POTTING! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1625808660057-QHYEJJAJMKOR46QHEAA4/SPC+newsletter+footer+template.png newsletters - August 2021 https://www.shorncliffepotteryclubinc.com.au/newsletters/2021-july monthly 0.5 2021-07-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1603067433823-KMLIOYYG008VOJG0X1EE/SPC+newsletter+header+template.png newsletters - July 2021 ISSUE #010 Hello Potters It’s July – where did the first half of the year go?

Well first up, I’m very excited to share TWO upcoming events: Einbunpin Festival ~ Sunday 25 July: The Einbunpin Festival, held in the middle of Sandgate, is happening next month and we will have a stall there to sell members wares and provide throwing demonstrations… so wonderful members please let us know ASAP via email (to Shorncliffepotteryclubinc@hotmail.com) if you: have items that you would like to sell, would like to volunteer to do a shift at the stall (morning shift: (8am) set up to lunch time; afternoon shift: lunch time to pull down (4pm). We’d like 2 or 3 people per shift - so no one will be there alone.) would like to provide a demonstration on wheel throwing (recycled clay will be provided for you). and Expressions Exhibition ~ Friday 22 - Sunday 24 October at the Callan Centre, St Patrick’s College: Yes! Our Club exhibition is locked in to go ahead this year! We have a venue and the planning is about to start. So put the dates in your diaries and get started on your entries… if you haven’t already! We are also seeking volunteers to help us make this a successful event - many hands will help with such a big event! If you would like to help on the Expressions organising sub-committee or can offer help in other ways - i.e. assisting with moving plinths, setup or pack down - whatever your contribution can be will be greatly appreciated. Please express’ion your interest via email to Shorncliffepotteryclubinc@hotmail.com. Now for a health and safety announcement… The second thing I wanted to talk about this month is health and safety when working with clay (and glazes) when it is in its dry state, and to bring your attention to a condition called silicosis. It is not a sexy topic and I don’t want to alarm anyone but it is a topic that should be discussed when you first start working with clay, and it is good to be reminded about it even if you have been potting for a long time. When I started on my clay journey the main rule that was drummed into me was to always clean up with water - with a sponge or mop, never with a brush or broom, but I didn’t really understand why this is so important? “Because the dust can be hazardous for your health.” This can be a hard question to answer succinctly, however, I recently came across this 12 minute YouTube video by Earth Nation Ceramics and I think it explains it perfectly. He gives you more information in this video than what I can give you here in writing - discussing what silicosis is, clay dust and cleaning up (…and the benefits of using an air filter if your studio is in a small enclosed space). This video has reminded me of the importance of health and safety practices, and I hope it has a positive impact on you too. Well that is enough from me for now, Cheers and happy reading!

Midfire just came out and Stoneware has been started. Keep those creative ideas flowing as we need creations for Zillmere Library for the month of August, as they have a small glass cabinet for us to show off the pottery. And of course Expressions is coming in October. Gus was finally able to get clay and there is a variety of clay in the back room waiting to be put to use. Clare’s sheet on qualities of various clays and best usage for different clays will be hung in the back room by the clay as well as being posted in this newsletter. There are a few pieces that have been waiting to get picked up on the bottom shelf in the back room. Please check if they are yours as they will be disposed of if not picked up by end of July. I have been putting unclaimed pieces in box in backroom and they can be used to practice glazing or glazed and donated to club for raffles etc. Catherine and Gabriel are constantly working to keep you supplied with glazes. The Buttermilk especially has a habit of disappearing rapidly. They deserve a big thanks for keeping the glazes made up and tested. That is it from the kiln and the glaze crew.

Buy a small rubber furniture castor from your local hardware shop (make sure it is rubber and not plastic) and insert wire staples, evenly around the wheel so it creates a tread. When rolled over wet clay it produces a series of parallel grooves. The staples usually enter the rubber leaving a small gap between it and the surface of the wheel, which is an ideal depth for the texturing. If the staple goes in too far use a screwdriver to pry it out a little. Straight line texturing works better than cross-hatching as the grooves mesh into each other like cogs and knit together more firmly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1624690248366-R2QRLWBRCD2XPLS9V7JA/IMG_1997+new.jpg newsletters - July 2021 Thanks to Linda Rosenthal for this tip courtesy of Dianne Peach https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1622790299198-0385B2RMDQVACYG3NJ6E/button+texture+stamps.png newsletters - July 2021 - Button texture stamps Here’s a clever idea to decorate your work. Make a collection of texture stamps from buttons glued onto the ends of corks. That way they can be stamped repeatedly as the cork makes them easy to handle. Just use a glue gun to glue the button on one end (or both). You may have to drink a few bottles of wine for the corks (not all at once - Editor) but this is the sacrifice you sometimes have to make for art. image courtesy marthastewart.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1624574805237-MW0SFK2VG9D45E22XI8R/glaze+technique+with+pencil+outlines.jpg newsletters - July 2021 - Make it stand out Glaze Painting Technique Here’s an insane way to apply glaze. Try not to hold your breath as you watch Mayuki Kato add the glaze. She uses the surface friction of the pencil outlines to contain the liquid glaze until it dries. A level and steady hand is a prerequisite, as is a very large calligraphy brush.

Pushing the Boundaries - wheel throwing workshop What a fun end to the month of May that was ~ we held our second Jackie Gasson Pushing the Boundaries workshop and this time it was a wheel throwing workshop, x 2! Yes, that’s right. We had enough interest that we held 2 half day workshops on Sunday 23 May. The workshop had something for everyone - starting with the basics for the beginners and consolidating the knowledge and techniques of those potters with more experience. Jackie also demonstrated how to use the rib tool to create a modern looking bowl with a straight wall and how to throw ‘off the hump’. There was a lot of information for us all to take in and practice when we are on the wheel… and I can’t wait to push myself to master the new techniques I learnt. If you’d like to see some photos from the two workshops then check out further below or the post on our Facebook or Instagram pages. Einbunpin Festival - 25 July, Brighton Road, Sandgate We have put a request in for a stand at this year’s Einbunpin Festival to sell member’s wares, advertise the Club and to provide demonstrations on wheel throwing. So please let us know, via email, if you’d like to put some of your items up for sale, would like to volunteer on the stand or volunteer to provide a demo on the wheel. I will let you all know in the next newsletter if we were successful in getting a spot. It should be a fun day! Spring Fever ~ a festival of Ceramics, 3 - 5 September, Caloundra RSL Our good friends up on the Sunshine Coast, the Sunshine Coast Clay Workers, are again putting on their Spring Fever ceramics festival this September at the Caloundra RSL. There will be a delegate’s exhibition, forums, trade displays and demonstrations covering all facets of ceramics… along with a long list of well known and celebrated ceramic artists! Check out the flyer below or their website for further information and pricing… www.suncoastclayworkers.org.au. Shed ~ fired shelves congestion Members please remember to come in and collect your fired items within 6 weeks of dropping them off. We have a growing number of unclaimed pieces that have been on the fired shelves for a number of months now, and we need to ensure that we have space for everyone. The committee is discussing implementing a timeframe to ensure our fired shelves don’t fill up with unclaimed pieces, and a process for dealing with pieces that remain unclaimed after 2 months. Please don’t let your creation fall into this category. Expressions 2021… And finally… I hope to be able to share with you all an update in the next newsletter about this year’s Expressions exhibition. We are still hoping to hold it in October this year, so get creating! But that is enough from me, Cheers and happy reading!

The kilns seem to be working well. Gus has adjusted temperature a few times as cones indicated kiln 2 was actually going too hot. But in general they are hardworking workhorses. As soon as we load the bisque you potters fill up the shelves for another load. So we are kept busy, which is great. We have a very productive group of potters. This month we will have additional pots produced due to the Jackie Gasson wheel throwing class. They are still drying and needing trimming so we are yet to see how many pots will come in. We have been working at rehydrating some clay that is in back room soaking up water. It is a mixture of clays which will need to go through the pug and be packaged. It will be available at a nominal fee. As it is a mixture of clays it will only be able to be fired at Earthenware temperature. We will be looking for volunteers to help with the process as it is quite a job. So if you are interested in recycling drop us an email. Catherine and Gabriel continue to focus on producing glazes and testing them. We are trying to be more proactive in terms of using sacrificial plates under pots in an attempt to save the kiln shelves. We have a few spots where old glaze, even though ground off is coming up through the shelves and causing pots to stick to the shelves. Also, be aware of need to only hold pots in glaze for three seconds as otherwise it is too thick and tends to drip or crawl onto the shelves. We now have BRT but some clays are not yet available. There has been a mass shortage of clay supplies and we have got what we can, when we can. Keep up the play with clay.

All reports were that everyone enjoyed themselves, including Jackie. Feedback has so far been ‘We would like more’ both handbuilding and wheelthrowing. More workshops with Jackie will depend on her availability and the responses from members to fill the classes. There has also been an interest in making glazes and we will follow up that request too. We do have options to explore other pottery decorating techniques and as the year progresses we hope to offer more workshops for our members. Please let the club committee know what you would like to learn and we will do our best to accommodate your requests. click images to view larger https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1621908768758-MRVM58IHCUWWM8FOXTUE/workshop+demo+2.jpg newsletters - June 2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1621908770623-0KTSEBN13FBUBDD0IAMA/workshop+demo+3.jpg newsletters - June 2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1621908771703-2PHRCP645Y2E6JGNVMO2/workshop+demo.jpg newsletters - June 2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1621908773005-S9H11YA5JYIW5COZTE8R/workshop+hard+at+it+2.jpg newsletters - June 2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1621908774375-BRGTOP1OYHCPUVWI124E/workshop+hard+at+it+3.jpg newsletters - June 2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1621908775183-S69FRCI944D1YBDWT4CR/workshop+hard+at+it+4.jpg newsletters - June 2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1621908776210-81I3SFQJVJMVDO10KR7I/workshop+hard+at+it.jpg newsletters - June 2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1621908777364-SVU0ZJOX0CUPUHP07XUI/workshop+off+the+hump.jpg newsletters - June 2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1616904689373-Y2U13RMETU3CV1P5OB3P/SPC+newsletter+title+tuition.png newsletters - June 2021 Club Tuition for Members by Members Tuition could be in wheel throwing, handbuilding and glaze making.

They get a better feel of the wall thickness that way. But when you are throwing large pots it may be a better idea to use your knuckle or even the palm or heel of your hand. Most potters also keep their inside hand slightly above their outside hand as they pull up the walls. Your top, inside hand pushes the clay outward and then your bottom, outside hand lifts the clay and pushes it back in. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1620372223789-NINM75TFA82081698H75/points-of-contact-1024x390.jpg newsletters - June 2021 tip courtesy of expertclay.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1621281632570-NQ45EYD6XVI6HK3ASFCU/smooth+rim+pic+1.jpg newsletters - June 2021 - Smooth Rounded Rims Turning Bases A plastic milk or juice bottle top placed on a wet or thin pot to turn provides protection for the base whilst turning The width of the bottle top spreads the pressure over a wider area and lessens the probability of the base giving way or warping under finger pressure. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1606288900560-41K8GEKGFZG4LIAS27GX/SPC+newsletter+title+Committee.jpg newsletters - June 2021 President: Tamara Vitale Vice President: Ken Bull Secretary: Caroline Schleimer Acting Treasurer: Tamara Vitale Committee Members: Gus Saunders, Linda Rosenthal, Clare Houston & Ann Gillespie Newsletter Editor: Ed Trost Email: shorncliffepotteryclubinc@hotmail.com and follow us on website + instagram + facebook …Until next month… HAPPY POTTING! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1602975576868-L7LQ4JQXWT2DXICAZMF8/SPC%2Bnewsletter%2Bfooter%2Btemplate.jpg newsletters - June 2021 https://www.shorncliffepotteryclubinc.com.au/newsletters/2021-may monthly 0.5 2021-05-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1603067433823-KMLIOYYG008VOJG0X1EE/SPC+newsletter+header+template.png newsletters - May 2021 ISSUE #008 Hello Potters Well wasn’t the SAS Easter Art Show fortunate to be able to go ahead, and what a show it was!

April went by in a flash for me, one moment it was the 1st and I was attending SAS Art’s Easter Art Show, checking out all the amazing 2D and 3D creations, and the next thing I know Ed is asking for our contributions for this newsletter, meaning we’re coming to the end of another month. However, April wasn’t all hassle and bustle for me, I did participate in something I had never tried before with pottery - a raku firing experience. One Saturday afternoon I made the trek to the southside for the Brisbane Visual Arts Community open weekend and participated in the Raku Experience presented by Ceramics Arts Queensland. I can only claim credit for the application of the glaze (the vessel and glaze were supplied by CAQ for the experience) and watching my piece go through the raku firing process... and now, I’m in love! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1619388649011-SVT7VGFMJY1RHUJMDCMW/raku+firing.jpg newsletters - May 2021 I’m hopeful that at some stage in the future the SPC Inc will be able to host a raku firing day for our members. Would you be interested in attending?! Do you have a suggestion for something you would like the Club to do or offer? If you do please don’t be shy, send us an email (shorncliffepotteryclubinc@hotmail.com) with your suggestion/s or feedback on how we’re doing! But in the meantime, something that the Club is offering now, well later this month, is a wheel throwing workshop which is part of the ‘Pushing the Boundaries’ workshop series with Jackie Gasson. It’s set to be a fun and informative workshop, particularly if the hand building workshop in February is anything to go by! Something else to start thinking about is our annual Expressions exhibition and what you will create to enter into it this year. I know it’s only May and the end of October is 5 months away, but it will be here before we know it. So why not start creating now so you don’t need to rush or stress closer to the time. The committee is working hard to find a suitable location that has availability for the duration of the exhibition (traditionally a Thursday bump in and a Sunday bump out - but we are willing to be flexible with the duration to make it work). If you know of any halls or spaces within the 4017 area that would be suitable please let us know via email. Finally, do you have skills in the use of Excel (or are willing to learn) and wondering how you could use them to help the Club… well, we have just the role for you - Treasurer! It is not a time consuming role, all the systems are set up and we will provide a handover, and training if needed, but as we are a small committee we would like to fill the role to help share the load. If you are interested in helping us in this role please email the Club or chat to one of our volunteer supervisors when you’re in the shed. Well that is it for now, I hope you enjoy this month’s newsletter. Cheers and happy reading!

It is good to see everyone so focused and productive. I love loading the kiln up as it is usually a challenge. I am getting more innovative about packing and it is getting easier. The best part of the job though is opening the kiln door and seeing how things have turned out and how glazes have changed during the firing process. We have had a few disasters with glaze running on to shelves. Several people have made different size sacrificial bowls (stoneware clay) to go under pottery pieces we are concerned might have a glaze that runs. So the shelves are feeling safer. Thank you to those who have made sacrificial bowls. So if anyone is interested making some for the club let me know and I can provide you with some clay. To avoid clay disasters in the kiln we ask you to clearly mark your clay packets with the type of clay and know the firing temperature of the clay you are using. The temperature range is marked on the packaging. Terracotta clay is not suitable above earthenware temperature, the clay can melt and can cause damage to kiln shelves and other peoples work. It is also important that you use the correct glaze for the firing temperature and include the information on your firing sheet and declaration. We only fire unknown recycled clay to earthenware. As usual thank you to Catharine and Gabriel who persevere with keeping glaze buckets full. The buckets seem to get drained of glaze with all the fabulous pottery which is being made. Buttermilk seems to be one of the most popular but can only be made in limited quantities. Kiln 2 had a major failure but fortunately it happened after the kiln reached temperature. Gus as usual came to the rescue and repaired it. He figured it was one of two things and the first which was also the simplest and least expensive was a new thermacoupler and sheath. So the kiln is up and running again. His expertise is invaluable. Now for reminders : ) Please make sure the glaze is cleaned off the bottom of pottery. And make sure you put your initials or sign on your pieces so it is readable. It really helps us to identify pieces and get them on to the owner’s shelves. Happy potting Greg, Linda, Catharine and Gabriel https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1617253051984-M6K9NT9RK07GC2YI15GM/toni_web.jpg newsletters - May 2021 - Do you know anyone that shows an interest in your pottery?

A lot of people attended and there were quite a few sales. It was good to see a selection of ceramic work from current and past members as shown below in the photo gallery. Congratulations to all of the 3D winners. First Place - ‘Rabbit Proof Fence’ by Grace Cross Second Place - ‘Fly me a Dream’ by Russell Solomon Highly Commended - ‘Ibis’ by Marie Smith Special mention must go to Tamara, Gus, Ann and her husband for organising the plinths, freshening them up, delivering and removing them from the event. Without the help of these people the event would not have been as successful.

The movie, Rabbit Proof Fence, used this barrier as a symbolic portrayal of the Stolen Generations where mixed race children, ‘half-castes’, were taken from their families to acclimate to Australian ‘white society’, marry Caucasians, hence diminishing the Indigenous population. “We say sorry.” K Rudd PM 2008 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1617498862892-T9UK7NYJ45TJQM7YQZV8/SAS+Easter+01.jpg newsletters - May 2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1617499237518-2DFA3G0KUGJK887366AO/SAS+Easter+02.png newsletters - May 2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1617498864336-DSLY74EQGD8ZZA8KJ5VB/SAS+Easter+03.jpg newsletters - May 2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1617498864619-6RPEZBHKKHMCRSN6X2NX/SAS+Easter+04.jpg newsletters - May 2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1617498865626-T3LM081YDUYLBIW2TUVT/SAS+Easter+06.jpg newsletters - May 2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1617498865178-LVDETTDJNYRKV08HLA4M/SAS+Easter+05.jpg newsletters - May 2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1617500165262-51WMXYJ70K821POJLN3E/max+in+the+UK.jpg newsletters - May 2021 On Thursday evening we had a FaceTime chat with Max in his new home near Newcastle in the north east of Great Britain.

Called “Tecla,” the prototype is a pair of sloping domes that can be built in only 200 hours using an average of six kilowatts of energy. It’s made of 350 layers of coiled clay, which is sourced from a nearby river, that serves as thermal insulation for the earthen structure complete with a living area, kitchen, and sleeping quarters.

All the houses from Jackie Gasson’s workshop have been bisqued. Quite a feat as they all tended to be large. Gus worked his magic in packing them in the kiln. I remain in awe of his spacial awareness. We only have one more house to go and that wasn’t actually made in Jackie’s class. Most of the items from firing have managed to find their owners’ shelf. But there are some things on shelf in the kiln room waiting for pickup. Please come in to get them as shelves as usual are pretty full. I have put dates in pots left on shelves and, if not picked up within two months you take the chance of loosing them as they will be discarded. Saturday we had five new people join and they have all requested a shelf. Shelves are being taken at fast pace. So remember you have half a shelf and need to consider your shelf mate. Happy potting Greg, Linda, Catharine and Gabriel https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1616799807718-V0LHW2HNWI81MR4HU2UB/max+has+left.jpg newsletters - April 2021 Last week, Max finally left the country and we wish him the best on his long haul flight to the UK.

Does it feel like February passed in the blink of an eye? It does for me, but I’m also glad it was a productive month at the Club! The kilns continued running hot, our opening times were well attended by members coming in to work on their projects or just popping in to drop off or pick up their pieces, AND we had our first workshop for the year in the ‘Pushing the Boundaries’ series - it was a great day spent hand building and learning new skills, tips and tricks! Check out the article below on the run-down of our day with Jackie Gasson. March is shaping up to be another big month - particularly for our members who will be entering pieces into the upcoming SAS Art - Easter Art Show from 1st - 3rd April. Please see the article below for further details on how to enter online this year! Potters please remember to chat to our kiln team if you know you’ll have pieces you need fired in time for the entry deadline. Cheers and happy reading!

Gabriel and Catharine are testing and getting glazes out on the floor, Buttermilk has hit the deck and is still a favourite, however we will be limited on the quantity we can provide. The white buckets marked SW are for high fire, the green buckets are for midfire, please ensure you match your clay and glaze for the firing temperatures as you want to avoid incidents. Linda is firing on all cylinders cleaning up shelves and out the back. I think you would agree the club is looking very tidy. Out the back we have a number of buckets of discarded clay that need reconstituting. We will be planning a pugging day when it gets cooler to pug and bag the clay in small lots for members at a discount price. The clay will only be suitable for low fire as we can’t guarantee it won’t cause issues at high fire. As Gus/Greg (trying to avoid confusion) says we have been busy cleaning and organizing. Changes are happening. Ann said, "Every time she comes to club I have rearranged and changed things." Hopefully that is about at an end. Half shelves are being given out so try to keep to your side. Be considerate of other shelf users. If there isn't enough room, use the next to bottom shelf or bottom shelf if available. Please label all clay and other items with your name. Also, remember no personal glazes are allowed on shelves. You need to cart them home and back. Sorry!!! Otherwise workplace safety will be after us. We are about to tackle the kiln area and will be looking at new ways to coordinate shelves. So if you have any ideas on organizing let us know. Also, if you have any pottery which has been fired please pick it up. That will be a great help. And when putting things in to be fired put your name or insignia on firing paperwork AND on your pot to be fired. Then it will be easy for us to identify and put on your shelf. Easier for us and easier for you. It will make it simpler for those without shelves to find their things as the back shelf won't be as crowded. Remember Easter Show is coming up. Applications need to be in and paid for by March 26th. I will be on look out for Easter Bunnies. HAPPY MARCH POTTING. Greg, Linda, Catharine and Gabriel Volunteer Supervisors Urgently Needed The club would like to offer more opening times for members. Currently the opening times rely on the availability of Gus Saunders and Linda Rosenthal. To expand the opening times or simply share the workload, the club requires that some more members become volunteer supervisors. The role is simple and straightforward, no expertise required, just a willingness to give a helping hand. The volunteer supervisor will be trained where necessary. The requirements are that the volunteer supervisor: is willing to become involved opens and closes the club makes sure all members sign in and out ensures members comply with all COVID requirements encourages members to leave their areas clean after use manages transactions for entry and the purchase of clay using the club’s square account (this requires use of your phone - you will be trained) has knowledge of rules and procedures has knowledge of basic equipment provided places a notice on the club’s facebook page to notify members that the club will be open at that particular time special attributes of willingness to share, encourage and support, listen and communicate assists with the load and unload of the kilns has basic first aid skills (the club is researching courses) An additional advantage for the volunteer supervisor is that they will have the opportunity and flexibility to visit the club more often and at times that suit them. If you would like to volunteer – email the Committee here or come in to the club for a chat with the supervisor https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1612134188332-A0SO16UZYU8IPKJ4360V/8C6V5425.jpg newsletters - March 2021 - Do you know anyone that shows an interest in your pottery?

Lots of laughs and a few tears were shed, as we said ‘bon voyage’ to one of Shorncliffe Pottery Club Inc’s lifetime members. Max is returning to the UK to live with his daughters and he will be sorely missed. He has been the backbone to the club, always willing to lend a hand and helping out the new members with his wealth of information for all things pottery. Not to mention his amazing ability to create engaging ceramic sculptures. I am sure that everyone will agree to wish him all the best in his new adventures. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1611379877352-UWWRWZ1NTJXIS20A55XY/b350ba5850196b7a334668d91e79fb7b--pinch-pots-exhibition.jpg newsletters - March 2021 - Kiln God Challenge – only 2 weeks to go SPCI is in dire need of 2 Kiln Gods.

Lots of questions, new skills to learn, not knowing where to start? The club is inviting members with skills to tutor/mentor new and beginning members as they make a start with clay. We regularly get requests from new members for some tuition to get them started. If you would like to be available to tutor a new member, the committee would like to hear from you. How it will work Depending on availability the new member will be introduced to the tutor. Times can be flexible and convenient to both members. Tuition could be in wheel throwing, handbuilding and glaze making. The rate will be $35 per session for up to three hours, but could be less. From this, the club will take 20% commission. All payments will go through the club. The club entry fee of $7 will apply for the beginning member, but the tutor will be admitted as a volunteer for that session. If this is something that you would like as a tutor or a learner please contact the committee using the club email. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1611845406443-TRNCPI458D8EVT33R6MQ/SPC+newsletter+title+Workshops.png newsletters - March 2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1613954836687-XFJQG61SGD6DTS5V5R4L/pushing+the+boundaries+group.jpg newsletters - March 2021 ‘Pushing the Boundaries series - workshop #1 hand building’ Much fun was had by those who participated in the Jackie Gasson workshop on Sunday 21st February. It was a full hands-on day learning something new and provided a challenge for the more experienced potters to make something different to what they usually make. Jackie provided many incidental tips and tricks over the day which have been gained from her many years of experience as a professional potter/ceramic artist. (Who else was excited to learn how to make coils from the slab without needing to roll them out?!) The concept of a ‘box from a box’ can be applied to many hand building projects, not just houses. The box provides structure and support while the clay box is being made. Jackie had some great ideas for roof building and ‘Building Construction 101’ came into play to make sure the clay pieces will hold together. Beginner participants found the workshop easy to follow and had a great time playing with clay; and one of our more experienced potters provided feedback following the workshop - ‘It really sparked my inspiration, and now I am building a hobbit hole using the box technique, and having a great time!’ Participants found Jackie to be fun, relaxed, engaging and a highly knowledgeable presenter.

So members, how often were you able to play with clay during January? Were you able to carve out sufficient dedicated ‘clay time’? I hope so! Although, do you find that sometimes you’d prefer to work in the Club’s shed but we’re not open? Well if you would like to volunteer to be a supervisor you could open the shed on any day/time that suits your availability. Please see the section below, Volunteer help needed, under Club News for more information! Did you see our recent email blast about our Kiln God Creative Challenge? This is an exciting challenge we are putting out to our members and I can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with! If you missed the email blast you can find more information about the challenge below. We also have some exciting news to share with you below about our first lot of Workshop offerings for 2021! It feels good to be locking in dates with our presenters and we hope you are interested in what is being offered. And finally, we are still in need of a Treasurer! Are there any members out there who would like to assist the committee, and the Club, and volunteer? The role is not onerous and we have a very simple system in place to track our finances. Training can be provided on how to use Excel and the Square system (the app we use to conduct the majority of our sales). We would LOVE to welcome someone into the role ASAP. If you are interested in volunteering or have any questions about the role please email the committee at shorncliffepotteryclubinc@hotmail.com or pop into the shed when we’re open and talk to one of the committee members. I will leave it there for this month, Cheers and happy reading!

Please let us know via email if you are intending to come to the club so we can maintain Covid-19 regulations on numbers working at the club. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1604547109566-RSZR1YSDXUO3RCD1TX6T/SPC+newsletter+title+Club+News.png newsletters - February 2021 Clay to Glaze to Kiln From all of us in the kiln room… Well this year has started off with full flow of holiday bisqueware, you have all been busy. The next step is glazing, and we are in a catch 22 with that. We have test tiles for the batches of new glaze to go through a firing before the glaze can come out on to the floor, but can’t fire until we fill a kiln. As we get enough to put Earthenware, midfire and stoneware through with the test tiles, we will get the glazes out. On the clay front we are unable to get supplies of Walkers White hand building and will get notified when it is available again. If there is a request for specific clay we will try to source it for you, with some notice. Although not confirmed with COVID restrictions the SAS Easter Show would be a perfect place to display some of your work, so get working on that special piece early to avoid getting caught in a kiln backup close to the show. Let’s hope no more hurdles to let the show go on, we can all do our bit with our masterpieces to help SAS Easter Show and Expressions come back better than ever this year. Don’t forget to put your maker’s mark on your piece before bisque firing, otherwise it is impossible for the kiln firers to know who belongs to the piece. If you forget and your piece has air dried – you can use underglaze to put your mark on it. Kiln team Gus, Linda, Tamara, Clare and Roz Volunteer Help Urgently Needed The club would like to offer more opening times for members. Currently the opening times rely on the availability of Gus Saunders and Linda Rosenthal. To expand the opening times or simply share the workload, the club requires that some more members become volunteer supervisors. The role is simple and straightforward, no expertise required, just a willingness to give a helping hand. The volunteer supervisor will be trained if necessary. The requirements are that the volunteer supervisor: is willing to become involved opens and closes the club makes sure all members sign in and out ensures members comply with all COVID requirements encourages members to leave their areas clean after use manages any transactions for workshop entry and the purchase of clay using the club’s square account (this requires use of your phone) has knowledge of rules and procedures has knowledge of basic equipment provided places a notice on the club’s facebook page to notify members that the club will be open at that particular time special attributes of willingness to share, encourage and support, listen and communicate assists with the load and unload of the kilns has basic first aid skills (the club is researching courses) An additional advantage for the volunteer supervisor is that they will have the opportunity and flexibility to visit the club more often and at times that suit them. If you are interested in volunteering – email the Committee here or come in for a chat with the supervisor https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1609549340511-5T3XWTGMA6XTG2MT6QLO/8C6V5440.jpg newsletters - February 2021 - Do you know anyone that shows an interest in your pottery? If you do, why not invite them to come and try pottery for themselves. The first session is free and you know that once you have made something with clay – you’re hooked! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1603395397312-32JM67APT9EK9K7SFNRI/SPC+newsletter+title+News.png newsletters - February 2021 Kiln Gods and Goddesses A Kiln God or Goddess is a ceramic or mostly ceramic character created by a potter to be placed near the kiln opening. A Kiln God serves as a charm or talisman and is meant to guard against any kind of bad luck that may possibly happen during the firing process. According to the Greek author Homer (not Simpson), there were 5 demons who existed solely to torment potters: Suntribos (the Shatterer), Smaragos (the Smasher), Asbetos (the Charrer), Sabaktes (the Destroyer) and Omodamos (the Crudebaker). These 5 malevolent spirits were collectively called the Daimones Keramikoi (Pottery Demons). In ancient Chinese and Egyptian cultures, Kiln Gods were thought to be safe keepers of the pots, as the craftspeople of the time did not know what caused crazing, cracking, pinholes and explosions etc. Western Kiln Gods are most often placed on the roof of a kiln just over the kiln door where they can “watch” over the firing. The Kiln Gods of China are generally positioned in their own dedicated Taoist shrine, located near the kiln. In Thailand, they usually offer incense sticks or a flower garland. If you have an affinity for a Shinto style belief system, you can offer Sake as well. The Kiln Gods do not like to drink alone, so after loading and before ignition have a toast or two to the success and happiness of the kiln and its ware – it couldn’t hurt to try! Below are examples of Kiln Gods and Goddesses.

Lots of questions, new skills to learn, not knowing where to start? The club is inviting members with skills to tutor/mentor new and beginning members as they make a start with clay. We regularly get requests from new members for some tuition to get them started. If you would like to be available to tutor a new member, the committee would like to hear from you. How it will work Depending on availability the new member will be introduced to the tutor. Times can be flexible and convenient to both members. Tuition could be in wheel throwing, handbuilding and glaze making. The rate will be $35 per session, up to three hours but could be less. From this, the club will take 20% commission. All payments will go through the club. The club entry fee of $7 will apply for the beginning member, but the tutor will be admitted as a volunteer for that session. If this is something that you would like as a tutor or a learner please contact the committee using the club email. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1611845406443-TRNCPI458D8EVT33R6MQ/SPC+newsletter+title+Workshops.png newsletters - February 2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1611915377682-30JZB6W10Z8E9KKEF65B/image1.jpeg newsletters - February 2021 Living up to our motto… Come Play with Clay! The Workshop Committee has been busy behind the scenes making contact with presenters who may be available to come to the Shorncliffe Pottery Inc. this year. We are exploring people who can offer ‘hands on’ workshops in a variety of modes to cater for the many and various interests of our members. The workshops will cater for beginners and more experienced potters looking to expand their skills. We look to offer affordable workshops spaced regularly throughout the year. As a result the committee is pleased to advise that the first of a series of workshops available to club members will be announced in the next few days. The workshops will be conducted by an accomplished and well acknowledged ceramic artist, with more than 45 years working with clay. The series will be titled ‘Pushing the Boundaries’ and relates to handbuilding, sculpture and wheel work. Keep an eye on your email for details regarding the workshops as the workshops are limited numbers and fill up very quickly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1606446667867-9ZJ4SAA5HZGP7CLVNDTJ/SPC+newsletter+title+Hacks.png newsletters - February 2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1609493309142-EBYFLPZJ01HB1QLOOFTQ/mug+handles.png newsletters - February 2021 Mug Handles Exposed Here is a collection of mug handles to help you select which works best, or which you like best, to decorate your tea or coffee mug.

Make sure when you start that the clay you use is the same degree of wetness. One of the major causes of cracks is different degrees of wetness when constructing the piece. If you are making a large piece, try wrapping your clay and even your piece, in a moist towel or plastic so that it doesn’t dry out while you work. 2. Joins in the clay are the main location for cracks. To avoid them, make sure you use a slurry (a mixture made from the clay you are using and water or vinegar – mixed to a toothpaste consistency), roughly score your two edges and apply the slurry to both edges of your join. Give the join a good wiggle using a little pressure to help fuse the two pieces, until it doesn’t wiggle anymore and then smooth or finish the edge in your preferred style. 3. Try to avoid too much contrast in the thickness of your piece. This can be difficult, so wrap your piece well with plastic to allow for even drying to occur. Pay particular attention to the thinner elements of your piece. 4. Support your piece with sponges, moist towels or newspaper as you create, so that there is no excessive weight during the construction – which can put undue pressure on the drying clay. 5. Make sure to wrap your finished piece in plastic so that it dries slowly. This will help in reducing any cracks that may appear if the piece dries too quickly. The speed of drying is one of the most common causes for pieces cracking. Oh No, I’ve Got a CRACK! If you do get a minor crack in your leather hard piece, clean out the crack with a tool like the one shown below, so that there are no shards or burrs remaining in the crack. Then make up a slurry of white vinegar and clay (the same clay as you used in your construction), and push it into the crack. Use the tool to help get it right into the crack so that there are no cavities left that can trap air. Then use a brush with vinegar or water to smooth out the repair excess. Wrap your piece well so that it dries slowly and evenly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1609659427410-9D1QSWEHKZQ00W6VHS3V/pottery+modelling+tool.png newsletters - February 2021 Wooden modelling tool ‘How To Stop Cracking’ Video By The Clay Teacher Cindy Clarke https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1611477200610-Z5JO67F5KRGBMS7J5702/CLAY+cracks+image+copy.jpg newsletters - February 2021 This image is a link to a youtube video.

Well, I hope you had a fantastic Christmas and holiday season. Isn’t it always good to have the rellies around for a quick visit? But, enough of the celebrating – we have a lot of ground to make up – 2020’s gone, it’s time to get down to business. The club reopens on the week beginning 10 January 2021, so put your thinking caps on and get some inspiration for your next clay masterpiece. The SAS Easter Show is fast approaching and you can’t start work early enough for Expressions 2021 – which will be bigger and better than ever. Don’t forget, we want to see our talented members’ work, so upload your pics to our instagram or facebook page, or email them for our website.

These two pieces were made specifically as fruit bowls. One wide, one tall. The bowls were a first-timer’s effort.

We are looking forward to a fantastic year ahead and we hope to help your playing with clay, fun and productive. There will be a few changes out the back in the new year to streamline firing. The clay will be accessible with all clays taken to go through members on the Square and have their receipt code number put in the book. This will help in restocking and keeping supplies for you. If you want any special clays, we will try to collect through the club but will need notice. We have stoneware back on the menu with Kiln 2 up and running to cone 9. The firing forms will need to be filled out completely with all details including membership number and square receipt code number before being fired. Gabriel and Catharine have been busy getting the current glazes back out in the studio and testing new glazes that should be out on the floor in the new year. A modified buttermilk going through the testing and looking particularly good to fire cone 6 through to cone 9. Don’t forget to put your maker’s mark on your piece before bisque firing, otherwise it is impossible for the kiln firers to know who belongs to the piece. If you forget and your piece has air dried – you can use underglaze to put your mark on it. Kiln team Gus, Linda, Tamara, Clare and Roz Membership Note Thank you to those who have paid their memberships to the Shorncliffe Pottery Club Inc.

Make sure that they are the same thickness as your desired slab, and the distance between them isn’t wider than the rolling implement. That way the roller doesn’t press too hard along any edge creating an uneven thickness. Don’t forget to rotate the slab when you are rolling it to avoid any grain buildup that can cause warping later on. Once the desired thickness is achieved discard the timber pieces to begin your clay slab creation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1606288013118-09TNSRPWYBV567N0FDFB/SPC+newsletter+title+Exhibitions.jpg newsletters - January 2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1603486119277-YBP9O67IVCX3CPHVASRH/SPC-newsletter-title-Tip.png newsletters - January 2021 5 Glazing Tips and Tricks https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f886433c912ce1f953db328/1604547261031-F88SVVOPW4JVBFT18GAM/top+5+glazing+tips.png newsletters - January 2021 This image is a link to a youtube video.

PVC plumbing closet flanges can be purchased at many hardware stores for about $10. Just match the inner diameter of one – to the outer diameter of the other, so they overlap. Cut two squares of plywood – the bottom piece approximately 50mm wider than the PVC flange, and the top piece should be bigger, but not greater than 50mm. The plywood should be 25mm thick and sealed to handle wet clay (Tip - use marine plywood). Centre and screw each flange onto the plywood. Add a little WD40 for lubrication where the flanges touch and there you have it. It’s that easy.
