Episode Synopsis "Critiquing Your Own Pottery Part 2"
Welcome to Understanding Pottery, Chapter 25: Critiquing Your Own Pottery: Design Principles You Can Use – Part 2. Critiquing works of art usually involves three different aspects of the work: the composition or design of the work itself, the techniques used to produce the work, and the concept or purpose of the work. Guidelines for these judgments, especially of the composition, can be involved and confusing. At the next Round Table, the discussion will focus on direct and practical ways that potters can make decisions to improve their work. The next topic is the final chapter in the series and it is Tips for Buying Used Pottery Equipment. Understanding Pottery is a series in production by Washington Street Studios. The video series is a digital textbook that will take you through the entire ceramic process from the raw material through the finished ceramic pieces. There are five sections and twenty-six chapters planned in the series and they are: Section I: The Pottery Making Sequence Chapter 1: What is Clay? Chapter 2: Clay Properties and Drying Chapter 3: Bisque Firing Chapter 4: Tips for Successful Glazing Chapter 5: Pyrometric Cones Chapter 6: Glaze Firing Section II: Use of Raw Materials Chapter 7: Chemistry for Potters Chapter 8: Glaze Chemistry Chapter 9: Oxides, Washes, Underglazes and Stains Chapter 10: Geology for Potters Chapter 11: Use of Local Materials Section III: Kilns and Firings Chapter 12: Atmospheric Firings Chapter 13: Wood-Fired Kilns Chapter 14: Gas-Fired Kilns Chapter 15: Electric Kilns Chapter 16: Raku Kilns Section IV: Solving Problems Chapter 17: Kiln Performance Problems Chapter 18: Clay Body Defects Chapter 19: Glaze Defects Section V: Practical Applications Chapter 20: Pottery Myths, Errors and Misconceptions Chapter 21: Thixotropy, Quartz Inversions and Other Pottery Mysteries Chapter 22: Pottery and Physics Chapter 23: Pottery Figurin’ (Math) Chapter 24: Personal Safety with Pottery Chapter 25: Critiquing Your Own Pottery: Design Principles You Can Use Chapter 26: Tips for Buying Used Pottery Equipment Show notes, including handouts, can be found at https://www.hfclay.com/the-potters-round-table The Potters’ Round Table is brought to you by Washington Street Studios, a community pottery studio, gallery, and pottery school located in Harpers Ferry / Bolivar, WV.
