What is the best school if I want a degree in Ceramics?
Q. I would like to find a good school preferably on the east coast with a really good ceramics department. I don't like to drive so major city would be ideal, but I'm willing to move anywhere if I have to.

A. In arts programs like ceramics, the teacher(s) can make a huge difference in both the perceived quality and what you get out of it. A program that was founded or run by someone really good can become much worse if they leave. On the other hand, a very good person for many people may not be good for you because they strongly favor a style you hate or focus on techniques that don't work well with your stuff. Or they may be strongly opinionated and you don't work well under pressure. Take the time to visit several schools, look at the faculty work and the student work and talk to some students about their learning experience and what they like or don't like about it.

What is the best brand of acrylic paint to use for ceramics and clay?
Q. What is the best brand of acrylic paint to use on polymer clays and even ceramics? and why? I've been using Folk Art and Apple Barrel but they're really cheap and I keep having to apply like 2-3+ coats just so the color won't look so translucent, it's really annoying. I'm looking for a more professional acrylic paint that will last a lot longer (especially after glazed), will not crack or smudge or go on weak. thanks :)
Asked by Candygirl - Thu Feb 5 22:14:41 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Are the items you are painting on sealed before you apply the paint? If not, the paint is soaking into the ceramic, which is why it looks translucent. The piece must be sealed before you paint.

How long do you have to go to school to become a Ceramics major?
Q. Or is that even a major? I'd like to get into Ceramics in college and I've taken three years of it in high school.

A. Wow! Three years of ceramics in high school. In my school art/crafts classes we only got to do one ceramic project. So, for a Bachelor's Degree you have to take four years of college classes which are much more than just art classes. You can also go another two years for a Master's Degree. That would qualify you to teach at the University level. I'd be willing to bet you would do well with that. Your dedication to ceramics is clear.

what are the fundamental differences between Korean and Japanese ceramics?
Q. I am a ceramist living and working in South Korea, and doing research into Korean ceramics..could anyone give me an educated answer to the above question? I would appreciate any insight, many thanks in advance!
Asked by Icarus - Sun Apr 5 12:35:13 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Nearly all exports of Korean ceramics went to Japan, and most were from provincial coastal kilns, especially in the Busan area. Export occurred in two ways: either through trading and the voluntary immigration of potters, or through outright invasion and theft of pottery and the forced relocation to Japan of families of potters who made the wares. The method of sending paper models of ceramics to Japan, having them approved and then having them manufactured began in the late 17th century, most often for the masters of Japanese Tea Ceremony.

A. Try to make it a a final fix if you can, There are some acrylic paints made for painting glazed ceramics. Paint where food will not touch Some paints when cured are dishwasher safe Look at this link If you do spray paint it, you may be able to remove the paint by a bisque fire or sand blasting The next glaze will not stick as well because the clay vitrified during the glaze firing so it won't be able to hold the glaze like before. Check with the people that control the firing. Where I took classes a refired piece would have to go in yje center of the kiln - This was fore a cone 10 reduction firing For a decorative piece, I know some artists that have left the piece spray painted

Then I would put those into a plastic storage tub. I should think that would keep them safe for years to come. But you really want to get rid of your cardboard boxes, they provide a safe haven for all sorts of molds and vermin.

The extent that the material needs is dependent on THEIR resistance to outside forces. Ceramics and thick glass objects just need to be separated from each other by cardboard or a couple of sheets of newspaper, as long as they sort of nest with each other. Fix them so that they don't rattle around, tape if necessary, and wrap the package in some material which will protect them from outside impacts. Clothes can do this job if they are thick enough. Fragile stickers do not do ANYTHING. Most airline baggage moves through conveyor belt systems and comes into contact with other baggage.… [cont.]
