A Career In Pottery

Welding is a career that does not requires an education and offers excellent wages, but requires lots of safety

My role as a teacher is to create stimulating classes giving the learners the opportunity to develop and achieve skills associated with ceramics practices. I start by firstly understanding the assesment criteria set out by the AS board,

Bazaar Ceramics has been operating for 20 years and have grown to a point where they need to reach a wider audience in both a sales aspect and an advertising one.

After weeks of working I made a total of three pottery pieces, the one that I spent most time on is a clay pot that was made to look like an ancient greece piece of art. They used as grave markers and many other useful things. Back in ancient Greek pottery was divided into four different areas. These areas are for storage and transport vessels, mixing vessels, jugs and cups, vases for oils, perfumes and cosmetics. Many believed that Greek pottery, unlike today's pottery, was only fired once, but that firing had three stages. When firing their art pieces the kiln was heated to around 920-950 °C. They technically decorated their pieces to tell a old story or to represent something, normally people in a darker shaded color. I chose this culture

Pottery is very beneficial and advantageous to archaeologists as it is a very common and widespread product that leads us to have a greater understanding about the everyday life of the area inhabitants. “Pottery is one of the most common artefacts in ancient sites. Once broken, unlike glass and metal, it cannot be recycled. This makes it very useful to archaeologists,” said Pont. Pont made the conclusion that the red slip pottery was used by the Pompeian’s as tableware with the main purpose of serving food and drink given its characteristically glossy surface. By dipping ceramics in liquid clay and later firing it in an oxygenating kiln is how this gloss is created (Kalnins, 2004) (see figure

The goal of this report was to bring awareness to the problems that Perfect Pottery has fallen victim to from the recent, drastic change of moving to the United States. This article is aimed at bringing ideas to the table that would solve many of the situations and difficulties that came with that recent transition.

In the cities , like Philadelphia, there are tradesmen, carpenters, joiners, bricklayers, masons, plasterers, plumbers , blacksmiths, glaziers and tailors. There are as well shoemakers, butchers, bakers, brewers, glovers, tanners, fellmongers, wheelwrights millwrights, shipwrights, boatwright, ropemakers, sailmakers, blockmakers, turners and many other jobs that make up a

The potter does not look at the design or shape of piece of pottery until the complete piece is finished. Once the pot is finished, the potter looks at it and if there is something wrong with it, such as it is lop-sided or the design is corked, he/she takes it as a learning experience , and will know what not to do the next time (“Museum Notes” 3).

Today is the day you'll find out that I would want to pursue a career in construction in the soon to come future. After researching, I came to realize that construction working could suit me job-wise in the future. No matter how risky being a construction worker may be, I know I could find closure doing the job, just knowing the things I will break down will soon be built back up in a better condition for whoever may reside there.

According to Isaacs, pottery was introduced to Hermannsburg in the late-twentieth century by Victor Jaensch. Jaensch “advised on sourcing local clay, and built a small kiln” and his Arrernte assistants, Nashasson Ungwanaka and Joseph Rontji, “began the tradition of making sculptures from clay” which were painted and sold at craft shops (Isaacs 2000:50). To many western critics and commentators of the time, the works of the original Potters did not appear as ethnographic or distinctively Aboriginal, as it was not like any of the traditional Aboriginal art forms produced at the time. However, today, Hermannsburg pottery produced by the current generation of women is flourishing. The Hermannsburg Potters webpage discusses the unique process by which these iconic sculptured terracotta pots are made. From clay, coils are rolled out and then each coil is a layered and pinched together. As the layers build, the clay is hand sculpted into a desired form. Once the moulding process is complete, the surface is further smoothed and shaped. Once dry, the pots are decorated with a ceramic based material or slips with pigment. Then lastly, the pots are

As the economy continues to shift and wealth continues to be distributed further and further away from the middle class, it has become more important to define what you want to be. An individual or society exhibiting conviction, inspiration, innovation, and justice will have a greatly heightened chance of success. Confidence is important in the image your portray, and the way you entice those you work with. Speaking of enticement, inspiring and innovate ideas will also encourage those around you and benefit yourself, evident in how England catapulted above others during the Industrial Revolution, and even inspired America's inventors. Final, and most important to the continued livelihood of not only a society or individual, but us as a civilization,

As a self-taught potter, I have been working with clay for nearly 2 years. I make primarily functional wares fired to cone 10(2345°f) using porcelain or stoneware clay. I obtained a degree in political science from Winona State University in 2015. I am highly influenced by my experiences as a production potter, other midwestern ceramic artists, and my rural/military upbringing.

Starting in the 1700s before the industrial revolution we can really see the biggest changes in what the work force looked like. This was a time before there were intricate machines and tools to help workers perform the tasks that were needed for almost every job. Because this was a time before machines and the tools needed to make jobs easier there was a limited amount of production happening on larger scales like we see now. Because of this, production was commonly very slow and tough work. Work was relatively simple and the number of specialized artistries was limited. The individuals that lived in the cities found new livings in creating handcrafted goods. These crafters worked in small workshops to create their good and at times would

Pottery is an ancient form of art created by people as early as 29,000 BC. The Gravettian "Venus" figurines (appendix A) are the earliest discovered ceramic works, dating from 29,000 BC to 25,000 BC (Carr, 2015). Since then ceramics have significantly evolved, and the pots created today can be described as interesting and unique masterpieces. An example of one of these masterpieces is "Sassy Birch" (appendix B), which is a teapot created by Eric Serratella (appendix C). Eric Serritella received primary applied art training from two artist residencies studying with Ah Leon and clay masters in Taiwan, and after 16 years of other work, Serritella transitioned into clay. He specialises in ceramic trompe l'eole and has displayed his work many museums,

The career that intrigues me is elementary education, which is kindergarten through 8th grade. I am engrossed in this career because I have little siblings that I had to teach them things like reading, math, and writing properly. Also, I just love, love, love little kids and to watch them grow. My personality goes with this career because I am a very kind and considerate person and I like people. My values go with this career because I like having the defiance and the opportunity to do my work in new ways and with independence and diversity. Also, I like feat which is having the feeling that what I do in my work is crucial and making a contribution. Lastly I value my workplace and having the pleasure of working in a satisfying, attractive work space where the supervisors and co-workers are supportive and friendly. I expect that being a teacher at a school will have all these conditions. Kindergarten and elementary school teachers work in public or private schools. Seeing students develop new skills and learn information can be very rewarding.
