Antoinette demonstrates how to decorate pottery with resist glazing techniques.

1/26/2020

​Learn to understand glazes and glazing techniques so that you can become more successful as a potter. When you learn how to fix, how to apply and how to decorate with your glazes, nothing can stop you from becoming an excellent ceramic artist.
​One of the methods that will be addressed is majolica, but when majolica techniques are applied to a cone 10 glaze, it becomes something different.

Tips: pinching clay

​In the same way that clay is pinched to stretch it out and to make it thinner, it can also be manipulated to change its form and  become thicker. It takes an understanding of what happens to the clay particles.
How to use your pinching skills to create a pinched teapot.

This video of Antoinette was recorded during her hands-on workshop at the Pottery Studio in Bryanston in South Africa. She shows how to throw a big porcelain bowl on the pottery wheel, add more clay to it, cut and carve it and alter it to get translucency. ​Carving can be done from wet to bisque. Make sure the tools are right for the clay stage. ​

Throwing a 25lb porcelain wide rimmed open bowl

​Porcelain clay demands just as much technique and maybe more. It is not so much that the Diva wants to be difficult, but you know she is a water addict right? That means she will drink in as much water as quickly as she can and just when you think she is satisfied, she collapses on you!

How to center clay on the potters wheel.

1/26/2020

0 Comments

 
Centering clay on the potter’s wheel is one of the first, and by far the most important activity that any potter must learn before it is possible to throw a pot.​​
Most beginner potters are so eager to start throwing, that it take some time to realize the importance of good centering. Some potters will lose interest at this stage and strictly concentrate on hand building. Others will end up with an injury or have difficulty to recover from bad habits.
There is not just one good way to learn to center clay, but there are good ways and bad ways. An understanding of what happens on the wheel will help to find the best way.
In this video, I am explaining to you what is happening on the wheel during the centering of clay and teach you my way. Enjoy!
TeachinArt is our online school where artists and potters can learn from the quiet of their own studios and where they get an in depth understanding of Antoinette's classes. You have direct access to the instructor while you study with her to ask questions.
