The illustrations in the in the art exhibit and the mailer are by Ellen Forney, author of Marbles: Mania, Depression, Michelangelo, and Me . Ceramic Arts Daily Book Covers Ceramic Arts Daily is a website that focuses on teaching artist new techniques to use while working with clay. They have a variety of written tutorials as well as videos.

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

Superior aesthetics and biocompatibility of dental ceramics has driven the increasing use of all-ceramic restorations over the past decade (1). However, the brittleness and low fracture strength of ceramics can initiate crack propagation causing fracture of the restoration. Clinical studies have demonstrated that all-ceramic dental restorations have an increased resistance to fracture in service when adhesively cemented to the prepared tooth structure with resin-based composite cements (2). It is

In the Neolithic Period, 8000 BC, tools and metal weaponry like smelting and casting were being brought about. This immensely improved how impactful weaponry was. After metalworking got introduced, the people could protect themselves in a more efficient way. Bricks were another form of technological advancement during the Neolithic Period. “In their simplest form (still familiar today in many hot regions), bricks are shaped by pressing mud or clay into a mould. The damp blocks are then left to bake

THE CHALLENGES FOR TRADITIONAL CERAMICS INDUSTRIES IN OMAN DR. BADAR MOHAMMED ALMAMARI Department of Art Education, Sultan Qaboos University, Oman Introduction In the new global economy, the development of traditional ceramics industries has become a central issue for individual ceramicists and craft enterprises alike. In Oman, over the past decade the Public Authority for Crafts Industries (PACI) has played a strong role in supporting the traditional ceramics industry. However, recently, competition

Introduction High-strength All ceramic restorations, with different composition, structure, and processing methods, have been introduced as an alternative to metal ceramic restorations in many applications (1). Due to their translucency and strength, IPS e.max ceramics have become increasingly popular as dental restorative materials (2) .They can be used as a substructure (core) to support the more fragile veneering ceramics in dental crowns (3-5). However

surface it creates a thin, maybe even thick layer of ice. This type of ice that is formed is called “glaze” (Blizzards). The thickness of the ice depends on how much we get and/or how long the storm lasts for. Ice storms can cause power outages, which for any storm, it is pretty common. What makes this storm different and more dangerous from the rest of them is the amount of damage this causes. The glaze that coats the surface also coats of the trees, wires and utility poles. Trees or tree

Shania Bloomfield HIST2225 Midterm Exam 4. Cylinder seals were a huge part of Mesopotamian culture. Cylinder seals are a sort of intricately designed impression stamp that ancient people used to serve as a sort of signature on a document. It was used to represent authenticity or to seal a business deal, essentially the same way modern people would use a stamp and ink to legitimize a legal document today. The owners of cylinder seals often wore them around their necks or attached to some sort of

guidance, wealth of knowledge, and compassionate ear. I could not have asked for a better advisor during this project. I wish to acknowledge Professor Amiko Matsuo for her ceramic expertise and her input regarding the ceramic portion of my survey. I would also like to thank the members of the local, national, and international ceramics communities who participated in my survey and interviews. The Clay Buddies group on Facebook has been very welcoming and supportive in promoting my research. In particular

The thoughts about ceramic shape’s history gave me a ground to be able to create the Conical Hat series works, and the investigation of conical hat provides the depth of my work. However, it still has lots of space for my personal concepts and understandings in this series of work. According to those studies on object and shapes, my central idea can be concluded into just one word which is “container”. I view the Conical Hat series are containers. Then, what is the container? Container is a Middle
