Color TrendsIf youre an artist or designer who spendstime haunting the blogosphere and scroll-

ing through shelter pages to nd the lat-est trends in interior design and makingyourself aware of what people are look-ing for and buying, then youre probablylooking at color, too. One way potters canwork their way into more sales is to payattention to fabrics and wall coverings.Now were not saying potters shouldchange their glaze colors every few yearsto match the furniture, but being awareof what colors are hot in industry may

help inform a new wholesale line or toexpand a current set of forms with a new

range of colors.Earlier this year, Pantone (knownworldwide as the standard language foraccurate color communication betweendesigners, manufacturers, retailers, andcustomers, across a variety of industries)announced their biannual Home + Inte-riorcolor forecast, which consists of ninecolor palettes and runs the gamut frommuted tones to bright uorescentsabroad enough range for everyone to nd

something to like. These palettes are ago-to tool for many artists and designers

who pay attention to industry trends.Accompanying the Pantone palettes,we are pinpointing mineral choices fordeveloping various colors in the glazelab. Colors are listed with the variousminerals needed to obtain them, ap-proximate temperatures, atmospheres,saturation percentages needed, and com-ments on enhancing/inhibiting factors.A complete palette range can be foundin Robin Hoppers The Ceramic Spectrum.

Glaze comments: The variety o uxes in

this glaze help to promote a wide range o

colors In order to get French Chartreuse,

Maroon, Orchard Purple, and Aegean

Blue, this exact recipe should be ollowed

Some o the other colors can be made by

substituting strontium carbonate or the

barium (removing barium and using 185%

strontium carbonate total) Do small tests to

see i the colorant combination you want to

use responds well to this change

Originally, this was a cone 10 glaze, but it

can be fred to cone 6 with a 30 minute soak

(eectively a cone 7 fring), and still achieve

glossy results

Dipping is the best method or applying this

glaze, as pouring and spraying can lead to

uneven coatings, resulting in prominent lines

on the fnished work

At cone 10, the glaze is more uid, so be

sure not to apply it too thickly (not more thanthe thickness o a dime), and wax 1/8 to inch

up rom the oot or base o your piece

Bright colors can be achieved over a white

surace The color o your clay will dramatically

aect the color o the fnished, fred glaze

The glaze has a tendency to crackle or craze

over many clay bodies

New Products

Skutt 22-inch KM SeriesSkutt offers a new line of kilns that provides a mix of heightand volume for those artists and teachers who have difcultyopening and loading a 27-inch-deep kiln due to the height.

Previously, there were no models in between 18 and 27inches high, so the 22-inch-high kilns provide easy accesswithout sacricing capacity. Available in sizes comparable totaller kilns, these new kilns range in capacity from 2.9 cubicfeet to 8.1 cubic feet Note that larger diameter kilns holdmore bowls per cubic foot due to the larger stacking surfaceon each shelf.

These kilns are rated for cone 10 porcelain and stoneware

and are available in three sizes. Each size is available with2.5-inch insulating brick, KilnMaster Controller and a lid lifterassist (except for the small KM822).

Skutt upgrades consist of type-S thermocouple, zone con-trol, APM elements, 3-inch insulating bricks (standard on theKM1222), and rolling stand.

AccuAngleThe AccuAngle is a one-step cutting and beveling tool. There are elevenpreset angles to create basic geometric shapes, from 3-sided equilateraltriangles to 12-sided dodecagons. A 90 angle is included for squaringedges. The AccuAngle ruler is scaled in inches and includes a centeringscale. The tool is designed to be used with any long needle tool. The holesin the sliding cutter are preset at specic angles with the lowest hole cut-ting a 30 angle.

To use the tool, the ruler rests on top of the clay slab, then the slidingcutter is inserted into the ruler and positioned just beyond the edge of theslab. The needle tool is inserted into the desired angle hole and the tip ofthe tool allowed to rest lightly on the cutting surface. The slider is grasped

and pulled resulting in a clean, straight bevel cut. Bevels can be cut from thenished/exterior side of the clay slab or from the unnished/interior side.

Bailey Quick-TrimThe Bailey Quick-Trim (patent pending) is a low-cost cen-tering bat for holding a pot securely when you trim the foot.The Quick-Trim has four holding points for securing the potfor trimming. This provides exibility for not only trimminground symmetrical forms, but also asymmetrical and multi-sided forms as well. Its all done with strong magnets thatare easily positioned on a powder-coated, metal-surfacedbat. The magnets can be quickly arranged to hold all typesof forms. Each magnet holder has a dense foam exterior, is-inches high, and has a non-absorbent vinyl covering to

prevent contamination from different clays. The unit func-tions in either a clockwise or counter-clockwise rotation, andits low prole allows it to sit low in the splash pan to catchtrimmings. The Quick-Trim ts onto any size wheel head with10-inch centered bat pins (the industry standard).

The Janus Ovation

Glass/Pottery KilnParagons Janus Ovation can re both pottery and glass. Withheating elements mounted in the top and side walls, a switchis used to select between glass and pottery modes. With theswitch in the glass position, heat comes from the top elementsand the middle side-wall element. With the switch in the pot-tery position, heat comes from only the side-wall elements.In the glass mode, its possible to fuse and sag large glassprojects placed on a single shelf, and the kiln res to cone 10in the pottery mode.

The kiln is equipped with a patented dual-spring-assistedlid support that transfers the weight of the lid to a massivehinge assembly on the back of the kiln to reduce stress on the

kiln wall. The elements in the lid are mounted in a rebrickball groove that eliminates element pins. The element coilsare wider than the groove opening, so the elements stay inplace without pins and dissipate heat. The lid element groovesand inner lid surface are coated for long life. An optionalmercury relay upgrade is available if you plan to anneal glassfor long periods.

housing and building construction, continued to be the lead-ing end use of feldspar in the United States. Domestic feldsparconsumption has been shifting from ceramics toward glassmarkets. Feldspar use in tile and sanitary ware continuedto be sluggish because of the struggling housing market.Identied and hypothetical resources of feldspar are morethan adequate to meet anticipated world demand. Amplegeologic evidence indicates that resources are large, althoughnot always conveniently accessible. Imported nepheline sy-enite was the major alternative material. Feldspar also canbe replaced in some of its end uses by clays, feldspar-silicamixtures, pyrophyllite, spodumene, or talc.

PraseodymiumThe USGS survey reports that Chinas dominant positionas the producer of over 95 percent of the world output ofrare-earth minerals and rapid increases in the consumptionof rare earths owing to the emergence of new clean-energyand defense-related technologies, combined with Chinasdecisions to restrict exports of rare earths, have resulted inheightened concerns about their future availability. As a re-

sult, industrial countries such as Japan, the US, and countriesof the European Union face tighter supplies and higher pricesfor rare earths. Of the 15 lanthanide elements, praseodymiumis probably the most signicant to ceramic artists because it isused as the primary source for yellow glaze stains.

ClaysSix types of clays are mined in the US: ball clay, bentonite, com-mon clay, re clay, fullers earth, and kaolin. Mineral composi-tion, plasticity, color, absorption qualities, ring characteristics,and clarication properties are a few of the characteristics used

to distinguish between the different clay types. Major domes-tic markets for these clays are as follows: sanitaryware andceramic tile for ball clays; absorbents, drilling mud, foundrysand bonding agent, and iron ore pelletizing for bentonite;brick, lightweight aggregate, and portland cement clinker forcommon clay and shale; refractories for re clay; absorbentsfor fullers earth; and paper and refractory markets for kaolin.

In 2010, according to the USGS survey, clay productionwas reported in 39 states where about 180 companies oper-ated approximately 820 clay pits or quarries. The leading 20rms supplied about 50% of the tonnage and 80% of the valuefor all types of clay sold or used in the US. In 2010, sales oruse was estimated to be 27 million tons valued at $1.5 billion.Major uses for specic clays were estimated to be as follows:ball clay36% oor and wall tile, 22% sanitaryware, and42% other uses; bentonite25% absorbents, 19% drillingmud, 17% foundry sand bond, 12% iron ore pelletizing, and27% other uses; common clay50% brick, 25% lightweightaggregate, 16% cement, and 9% other uses; re clay38%heavy clay products, 62% refractory products and other uses;fullers earth74% absorbent uses and 26% other uses; andkaolin58% paper and 42% other uses.

Many markets for clays improved in 2010 as the USeconomy began to recover from the recession that began in2008. A slight improvement in commercial and private hous-ing construction resulted in increased sales of ball clay andcommon clay. Bentonite sales increased with greater demandfrom the oil drilling, foundry, and iron ore industries. Kaolinproduction improved because of a slight recovery in worldpaper markets and greater construction activity. Fullersearth and kaolin sales increased mainly on the strength ofincreased exports.

Materials or the studio potter come rom sources all over the world. Supply is determined by industrial demand, politics,and environmental concerns, where a change in any o these can impact the ceramic artist.
