Ceramics and Pottery Making
Kinds of Clay Used
There are many kinds of clay, natural and synthetic, used for different purposes, in ceramic work.
Four varieties are recommended. Each is prepared for a special type of construction, but either the gray or terra cotta pottery clay can be used for all of the projects.
Any of the clays de-scribed here may be purchased from the sources named, but the beginner should investigate his own local sources.
Clays also vary according to geographical location and one may find an especially fine clay in his own community.

10 Tips to Care for Your Antique Ceramics
Martin Swinton
To care for your antique ceramics you need a gentle touch and they'll last you a long time. This month we'll give you some useful tips to help you care for them. 1. When you are cleaning delicate ceramics, remember to use a soft-bristled brush to wash antique ceramics in warm soapy water. 2. Rinse with warm, clear water. 3. Don't rub ceramics dry; let them dry naturally. 4. Avoid abrasive products and bleach. 5. Avoid soaking antique ceramics. If there are any repairs, extended soaking could loosen them. 6. Avoid plate hangers. They do great damage to antique ceramics because over time the pressure from the hanger will cause cracks. 7. Display ceramics on sturdy plate stands or plate rails. 8. Avoid hanging antique ceramics such as cups, pots or vases by their handles or other weak areas. 9. Don't attempt repairs. It is tricky work and you'll never be able to match the paint colours exactly on your own. Bring a damaged ceramic to a qualified ceramics restorer. Repairing a bad restoration disaster will cost you more than fixing it right the first time. 10. Avoid serving food on restored ceramics; the chemicals used in the restoration could be hazardous.

Pottery clay.
There are two kinds-gray stoneware and terra cotta clay-which will produce a good plastic, workable pottery clay.
If both can be procured, they will increase the variety of possibilities available in decoration and colors.
The stoneware clay fires a light buff and permits the use of lighter and brighter colors in glazing.
The terra cotta clay fires a reddish-brown and consequently darkens all glaze colors and this should be taken into account when choosing clay for a project.
It is especially suited to sculpture, and is best left unglazed as the warm color and mat surface produce an effective appearance.
Fifty pounds of moist clay of either kind, or twenty-five pounds of each, will be ample for one person for the projects suggested in this book.
