Ceramics Industry in Pakistan

Pottery can not only tell us about the past, but it can also tell us about people’s beliefs and what people did in the past. Pottery was used for many purposes. It was made in many different shapes and sizes. Some pieces of pottery had unique pictures and designs on them. The pictures and designs expressed different types of things that went on in the daily lives of ancient Greeks. Music and entertainment, religious beliefs, death and burial traditions are a few aspects of Greek life that are pictured on many different types of ancient Greek pottery.

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 They have tried advertising in top ceramics magazines with some initial success at a significant cost. This has now been deemed a very expensive way to advertise and the proposal to create a website to serve in its place, has risen directly from this.

Pottery was utilised for a variety of purposes such as storage, food preparation, ritual activity, transportation and more. Stone artefacts were another source of evidence with objects such as pestles and mortars, vases, hammers and tools. The stone artefacts that were produced locally were made from imported fine stones such as alabaster, limestone and marble. Architecture was another prominent feature that showed what Theran culture was like. There were three types of buildings including the mansions, freestanding buildings and joined houses, each belonging to the according wealth of an individual. Additionally, wall paintings of the frescoes from Akrotiri provide some of the most famous images such as the Boxers, Fisherman, Ladies, Lilies, Monkey, Papyrus and Spring frescoes. In many cases all four walls were decorated to create a panoramic scene with naturalistic representations.

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

Porcelain is a very specific kind of ceramic produced in the extreme temperatures of a kiln. Porcelain, of course, originated in China, which is how China got its name. Early in the 16th century BC during the shang dynasty, the ancient prototypes of porcelain was

On the Levi Jordan Plantation ceramic shards have been found next to what is thought to be a hearth or fireplace. Some of the clay was in the form of one bowl, several ceramic plates and cups. The hearth was most likely the center of activity in the cabin, as tobacco pipes were scattered around it. Blacksmiths will sometimes make pots, but most of the time they used iron or aluminum. Pots are made from clay, which can be found anywhere near a river. Then the clay is fired, to dry it after it has been shaped (most of the time by hand, but in modern times on a pottery wheel). A couple of countries who were the first to make clay pots were, Czech Republic, Japan, and China. Clay was a very important resource used for decoration, storage, and

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

artifacts were made of stone, jade, and other ceramic materials. Jade was an expensive material

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.

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,

I found my home in the ceramics department a little over a year ago after a slightly distressing period of exploration. I was initially won over by the tactile nature of clay but I soon discovered that ceramics encompassed everything I wanted in a medium. I have the freedom to move between art and design and with its virtually endless possibilities of making, the field of ceramics will always keep my curious mind fed.

I took a ceramics class at my high school. I felt overjoyed every time when my piece came out the kiln still in tact with the vibrant glazes adding to its beauty. My proudest work produced was my Day of the Dead inspired skull.

The Assyrians developed glasswork as well as glazes for pottery and art to help it last longer.
