Pottery Studio

Pottery is fun!! I enjoy seeing this transformation of a block of clay into something beautiful and useful. When you have the time and opportunity I strongly suggest trying your hand at it. :)
Here are some photos of the pottery studio where I go to learn pottery.

Here is a simple sketch illustrating the fascinating transformation of clay.

 Wheel.

 Some plates and pots and cardboard shapes which are used in handbuilding pottery.

                  Tools.

Combinations of glazes for reference.

Chemicals used for making glazes.

Glazes stored in big containers.

Furnaces. Pots are bisque fired at 1750 ^oF and glaze fired at 2150 ^oF.

 Ready for bisque firing.

Pots wrapped in plastic need to be trimmed when they are leather hard. White pots are bisque fired and need to be glazed.

Clean wheels for next class.
