Combustion and Creativity – Salt Soda and Wood

by | Jul 14, 2012 | Uncategorized

Ceramics by Opeongo and Wilno area potters 
Tim
Storey, Dan Hill , and Eva Gallagher  
 
 

 
Opens
July 20th, 7-9 pm at South of 60 Arts Centre in Barry’s Bay,
Ontario www.southof60.com and runs until August 26th. 

 
Probably
unique outside of an educational setting in Ontario, their salt, soda
and wood fired kilns are within a half hour drive of each other and this is
a chance to compare the three different types of firing and how they affect
the clay and creativity of the potter.
 

a site 2 see friday: Recycled China

by | Jul 13, 2012 | Uncategorized

From the website:“Recycled China is a design team consisting of artists
Thomas Schmidt and Jeff Miller. During the factory production of ceramic
products, there is on average a 4% loss rate; items which in one way or
another are imperfect and therefore do not reach the market. Once
fired, ceramic materials are no longer usable and simply end up in
landfills around the world.  As an alternative to using mined materials,
Recycled China is about reusing ceramic waste and other industrial
waste into the form of architectural tile, functional design works, and
sculptural objects. “
