Ceramic course

A Scomigo, country ceramics, I took a ceramics course at the School Little Potters Association.

the entrance of the school reads: "Go into your classroom and let your hands say what you are "and this is a great welcome!

The meetings were first divided into three evenings devoted to the creation of three objects: a vase, an animal, and a mask. After a few weeks off to let the clay dry and proceed with the cooking, the last three meetings have been dedicated to finishing and decoration.

For the pot we used to work colombino . On a circular base of clay we started to apply on board the pigeons, which are rolls of the type of clay rolls of dough to make potato gnocchi.

Through the system of pigeons can be made vessels without the use of the lathe.

Each roll must be made to adhere well to the previous one with a gentle pressure, taking care to smooth both the external and internal. It 'important to fix as you go up the inside if the vessel is tight otherwise no longer able to work once you obtain the desired height.

If you want to go larger or smaller, the mouth of the vase apply doves gradually longer or shorter.

You can use different tools for smoothing the surface of the vessel, by the special spatula, plastic, wood or metal on the back of the knives.

To achieve a perfectly smooth surface you can move the object with dry sandpaper.

My wooden owl has been the model for the ceramic owl!

modeling proceeds by addition of clay.

To make the feathers, once shaped the body, I used a palette knife round and I started to pass it in small areas plotted from top to bottom overlapping the steps to get to the head.

to support the body on the legs were used pieces of wood removed after drying.

I chose the Pierrot as a template to be played between the drawings made available to us.

To the moon and the collar of his jacket was used to browse technique. It is flattened a bit of clay, and once smooth with a spatula to remove any air bubbles, and obtained a uniform thickness, was cut the desired shape: a wedge for the moon and a ruffle around the rectangular strip neck of the mask.

The work carried out with the gray clay, after firing at least 980 degrees in oven appropriate, take on the reddish color (Biscuit) as in the case of the pot and the owl.

For Pierrot has been used white clay that is fired after.

The red clay is used knowing that in just one finish coat of wax or of special effects bioanco-red, while the remaining white clay lends itself to being colored.

The owl once cooked I finished with wax.

For the vase I made a second firing by applying a glaze that is white that I removed before being fired in part for different color and decorative effects.
