Q. How can I get my pottery and I invited to an invitation only art fair, show, exhibit? And how can i find non invitation events? I live in Chicago i can't believe how difficult it's been to find these answers. Thanks everyone!

A. The main thing you need to do is build up an artists resume showing your work in exhibitions, shows and in print. To do this start small and exhibit /enter any smaller shows and competitions you can.Keep any awards or documentation and add it all to your artists resume ( which should include a good artists statement). Send in articles about your work to newspapers and magazines and include good photos. It will take time but if you take yourself seriously then so will others.Invitation only events are harder to break into until your name is known ( or you get to know the organisers!). Get out there and make your mark. Good luck.

place a broken pottery in the pot in order to hasten the softening of meat?
Q. Some people place a piece of broken pottery in the pot in order to hasten the softening of meat. Is this scientific? Why?
Asked by nicole11 - Mon Mar 10 07:46:31 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. This is an amazingly dangerous idea. Crockery with faulty glazing has caused health concerns before now. This was reported at the time in a science magazine (Scientific American or New Scientist). To use broken crokery is to expose the inside which could easily have poisonous substances. You could more or less expect some of the inside to dissolve in water. Meat can be softened in various safe ways e.g. sprinkle with papain (enzyme) got from pineapples.

What is the difference between a glass kiln and pottery kiln?
Q. Can you use a pottery kiln for glass work? Fusing, slumping and painting?
Asked by Sally - Sat Mar 21 00:04:19 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. A huge difference is a pottery kiln generally lets the temperature drop once the temperature is reached Pottery kilns also can get hotter than glass kilns. A glass kiln controls the rate of cooling to anneal the glass. Annealing reduces the internal stress that can cause glass to break. Edit: I have more access to ceramic kilns. I am talking to a friend that has a glass-kiln about doing some pieces because Of the annealing step

A. Greyhound bus line ships. They pick up packages and place them on the bus, then bring them to the depot in your town. They will be able to carry your package for a much lower fee that UPS or Fed. While they won't bring it to your house, all you have to do is pick it up from their terminal located downtown. Greyhound usually takes about 4 days to get from Oregon to Las Vegas. They charge the same price as a ticket. So imagine that you were coming from Oregon. The price would be the same for your package. $99.00 at most!

Does anyone know a good place to get Poole pottery valued?
Q. I bought a Poole pottery vase in a charity shop purely because I like the colour and shape, but a friend reckons it's worth a lot more than the 5 I paid for it. Looking on the internet suggests that the Poole pottery mark is for pottery made between 1955 and 1959, and it's a Freeform design. I've found pictures vases of that design but different shapes, but nothing of the shape I've got. Any idea where I can get more info?

A. Have you tried googling Poole Collector Club? Or even check the Antique Roadshow website. A trawl of Ebay or similar site may provide a comparative price but I agree with your friend it would be worth more than a fiver, price depending on rarity and condition.

A. I only found these: c.1630, perhaps from Swed. dialect pyske "small fairy," but West County origin suggests ultimate source in Cornwall and thus something Celtic. Earliest references were in pixy-path "bewilderment," lit. "path on which one is led astray by pixies," and pixie-led "lost." " Pixies (also Piskies and Pigsies as they are sometimes known in Cornwall) are mythical creatures of folklore, considered to be particularly concentrated in the areas around Devon and Cornwall, suggesting some Celtic origin for the belief and name.

I've made piggy, well actually technically doggy & hippo banks, for my niece & nephew with their names painted on it. Anyways, I think anything you paint that's practical for the most part, jewelry boxes, serving plates, photo frames, etc. would be nice if they were personalized with their name or something painted that reminds you of the gift reciever is a good way to go.

A. Hi, The third lesson is early to start buying expensive equipment such as kilns etc. You don't yet know what area of clay work you enjoy, it could be throwing (making pieces on a wheel), sculpting, or rolling out slabs and cutting them to form pieces, using molds or extruders...there are an enormous amount of techniques to learn, so i would advise against buying any large pieces until you know what area you are leaning towards. You can buy a few small cheap items though, that can be used in all areas. A craft knife (longer the blade the better) you can use this for cutting the clay at any stage except bone dry A potter's needle (i made mine from a pin stuck into a cork) this helps you to roughen up a surface before attaching two… [cont.]

Q. touch. The small wheel has a radius of 2.0 cm and accelerates at the rate of 7.2 rad/s^2 and it is in contact with the pottery wheel (radius 25.0 cm). Calculate a) the angular acceleration of the pottery wheel and b) the time it takes the pottery wheel to reach its required speed of 65 rpm.
Asked by eddieexpiggy - Thu Nov 29 05:43:49 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. First you must find the tangential acceleration of the outer most point on the small wheel. This is equal to the angular acceleration times the radius. a = r*(angular acceleration) = 2(7.2) = 14.4 cm/s^s This is equal to the tangential acceleration of the outer most point on the large wheel because they are in contact and not slipping. So the to find the angular acceleration of the large wheel, you divide the tangential acceleration by the radius. angular acceleration = a/r = 14.4/25 = 0.576 rad/s^2 To find the time it takes the large wheel to reach 65 rpm you must first convert it to rad/s (65rev / 1min)(2pi rad / 1rev)(1min / 60sec) = 6.8068 rad/s The angular acceleration multiplied by time will give you the angular velocity. angular… [cont.]
