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.

Think Inkjet - Unleash Your Imagination
Niall Roche
eab
Add unlimited dimension to creative crafts with your computer, inkjet printer and specialized media. Inkjet printing opens the door to thousands of colors. Why print them all on white paper? If you can think it… you can inkjet!
Unleash your imagination. Specialty papers are just the beginning of endless media alternatives to standard printer paper. High-resolution photo papers in glossy and matte finishes transform family photos into enduring memories. Parchment and confetti papers add elegance and personalization to text printing, making treasured gifts and display items out of your favorite writings and adding warmth and cordiality to your invitations and greeting cards. As wonderful as these papers are, they are only the beginning of what you can do with a little imagination and your inkjet printer.
Metallic inkjet media is available in gold, chrome, and silver. Although metallic inkjet media accepts print in either color or black and white, generally black and white prints will present better on gold. If you print yellow on silver metallic media, it will look like a gold inlay. Orange printed on silver looks like bronze.
This transformation takes place between the ink and the media so you don't have to apply difficult text and photo manipulations to achieve elegant results. Add dazzling effects to photos and text with holographic film. The base color of holographic media is silver. Holographic film reflects the full color spectrum and presents your print project in a rainbow of colors, changing along with the angle of view.
Super Color Shrink is a pliable plastic that accepts inkjet print. After printing, you bake the plastic and it shrinks and hardens, reducing the size of your image and adding texture to your project. Super Color Shrink is available both transparent and white art sheets.
Even if you can't paint like Monet or Van Gogh, you can still create a masterpiece on canvas with Super Color Art Canvas. Designed for use with inkjet printers, Super Color Art Canvas is actually a specially coated nylon surface that renders your images and photos so beautifully that you probably won't even want to frame them!Cling Window media makes window posters and removable art that adhere to most glass, plastic and baked enamel surfaces.
As you probably know, it is impossible to print the color white, but you can make white embossed prints with inkjet embossing paper and white embossing powder. Inkjet embossing paper keeps inks from drying. Sprinkle your prints with embossing powder and then heat the image with an embossing tool or heat gun and watch as your design becomes an embossed raised image. Find both white and clear embossing powders at any good craft retail store. Preserve embossed images with a clear acrylic spray.
Apply your designs to unpainted wood, marble, slate, and leather with inkjet rub-on decal paper or use water slide decal media to decorate glass, metal, ceramics, candles…
Combine imagination and specialized inkjet media to extend your creativity to the limit. The possibilities are endless when you think inkjet!

Sculpture clay.
This clay is particularly desirable for making sculpture because it is stronger, more rigid, and can take more strain and stress than the other clays.
It contains an addition of grog (burnt fireclay ground up).
Sculpture clay can be bought prepared, or made by mixing grog-about 20% by weight-with either one of the pottery clays.
Grog can be procured from a ceramic supply house in buff or terra cotta. Twenty-five pounds of moist sculpture clay is ample for one person for the projects suggested in this book.
