The Sherwood Neighbourhood Centre Introduces:
Western Suburbs Clayworkers Newsletter January/February 2017
A word from our new presidentHi all,
Welcome back. Now that 2106 is “done and dusted” I hope everyone
is rejuvenated after the break and ready to trade the handful of
chocolates for handfuls of clay. I know I’m fired up. I hope
everyone likes the occasional bad pun too.
So I have put myself back in the hot-seat for this year as the
group’s benevolent autocrat. I would like to thank this year’s
committee for stepping up to the task of running Western Suburbs
Clayworkers and also thank the previous dedicated crew for all
their effort in creating a successful 2016 last year. That means
some people get thanked twice and deservedly so.
The Pantone colour of the year for 2017 is called “Greenery”
(Pantone 15-0343) and their website informs us that it’s “A
refreshing and revitalizing shade, Greenery is symbolic of new
beginnings.” This year will be a new
beginning for WSC with our refurbished studio space. I’m in the
process of painting my kitchen with a similar colour called “Tame
green”. This may prove to be a superfluous task as another
prediction for 2017 is that: “A massive death planet – Nibiru – is
about to smash into our planet, killing us all! And there’s an
alarmingly specific date predicted for the ‘rogue planet’ making
its fatal rendezvous with our planet: December 2017”, according to
a prediction on Zetatalks that was quoted by the free U.K. tabloid
newspaper “Metro”. Hopefully the actual day won’t be until after
our Christmas party. It’d be a shame to miss out on that.
We’d like to make the revamped studio the centre of activity as
soon as possible. Any suggestions and ideas for things you’d like
to do are welcomed and we’ll try to accommodate them. Looking
forward to seeing you all soon,
Anthony.

Failed pots and what not to do!Mini-workshop 01-02-17 in the
studio
From the top
2 sides to Anthony's bowl - glaze too thick and hasn't adhered
to the pot well - looks great but has a few sharp points.
The bottom pot is terracotta where the underglaze has slipped
where the pot was too wet to absorb the moisture in the slip.
From the top
The green underglaze and the clear glaze have not fitted
together well?
The centre pot has a dust spot on the lid and perhaps a grease
mark on the body where the glaze has not taken.
The bottom pot has a dramatic fail - perhaps too wet when
bisqued or has an air pocket in the base
From the top
The inside of the bowl has a slip applied - cracking may have
occurred in the glaze firing due to this weak point on the base of
the pot.
The Raku pot has an underglaze applied under a clear and the
areas are starting to spall off like a naked Raku.
Gai had some mid-fire pieces with underglaze and a clear glaze
over it. The result was difficult to photograph but had small
bloats and pin-holes. The clay body has been blamed for this!
If you have any other thoughts on these failures let us
know!

Did anyone else see this on the ABC program Back Roads. It is a
small country town, Cygnet in Tasmania. A lot of the locals are
involved in artistic or alternate activities.
Everyone seems to have more than one job; so why not use your
kiln for an alternate as well!

Diane's artist profileMy name is Diane Weingott and I have been
‘potting’ for many years, starting with a Certificate of Ceramics
at South Brisbane TAFE.
I am a very straight-forward, uncomplicated potter. My pottery
has no hidden meanings or symbolism. I thoroughly enjoy the tactile
quality of clay as it evolves from an undeveloped lump to an item I
have envisioned the moment I first laid my hands around it.
The smooth rounded curves of a well-thrown piece that both
pleases the eye and entices one to touch it, is my main objective
and delight when it is achieved.
My pottery is made to use; to know someone is enjoying the feel
and look of my creation on a daily basis, or even kept away at the
back of the cupboard to be brought out on special events to hold
the feast of the day, is a great joy to me. I feel a little bit of
me is interwoven with the clay, the decoration and the glazes used
on each pot.
I look forward to getting to know all the potters in the Western
Suburbs Clayworkers and enjoying some inspirational times mucking
about in mud.
PS Diane won third place in our What Have You Done for 2017 -
congratulations again!

The Son of a PotterGerry Wedd was born in McLaren Vale, South
Australia, in 1957. He pots and surfs in Port Eliott, South
Australia. He completed an MVA (ceramics) in 2009. In 1998 he won
the Sidney Myer Fund International Ceramics Award and in 2009 his
work was in the Havana Bienal.
WHAT HABITS DO YOU EMPLOY TO KEEP YOUR CREATIVITY FRESH?Funnily
enough it’s this idea of repetition and making and making and
making. Often making the same things over and over. I don’t worry
about freshness or a new creative direction, it will happen if I
just keep working.
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOU?Erratic. Driven and lazy. Easily
intrigued.
WHAT PART OF THE PROCESS DO YOU LOVE THE MOST?There is a moment
through any of the processes where I am not quite sure where things
are going, but I’m excited rather than scared. It can be in the
middle of decorating something where you lose yourself slightly and
all of a sudden you feel like you’ve hit this particular point
where everything is singing. That can even happen if I’m dipping a
large plate. You have this split second realization that you know
how to do something.
WHAT DO YOU LOVE BEST ABOUT YOUR STUDIO?The light. My studio
would be a joke in potters’ circles. It doesn’t have a door. It was
an old shed that was on the property and I’ve never closed it in.
In the winter I will occasionally put some blinds down and I will
have a heater. In the summer when it gets too hot I will drag the
table out under an olive tree and work. But it’s the light. I’ve
had photographers come here and they will look around the whole
place for somewhere to take a photograph and we will end up back in
my studio.
IF I WANTED TO BECOME A FULL TIME POTTER WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU
GIVE?I think there are two clear paths. One of them is to obviously
learn the skills to a point at which you can sell things and you
find out what the market is and in a very methodical way you aim
towards that market. You go to the galleries, you go to the shops.
Or you take those skills and interests and let them embed
themselves in what you are making. Then you will make things that
are of you, that I think tend to be the things people are
interested in. It’s all time and it’s all making.

Scratching the Surface: A Guide to SgraffitoThe word sgraffito
is derived from the Italian word graffito, a drawing or inscription
made on a wall or other surface (graffito also gave us the word
graffiti). Graffito is past participal of sgraffire, which means
“to scratch.” So the word sgraffito basically means to scratch and
create a graphic or an image. In ceramics, sgraffito is a technique
of ornamentation in which a surface layer is incised to reveal a
ground of contrasting color.I use sgraffito to get a clean line
without masking or rulers, and I do more cutting than scraping. I
use a handmade tool that is thin and cuts smoothly. I cut when the
piece is stiff leather hard, which makes straight lines possible.
If the piece is bone dry, the cut will be jagged and brittle. If
the piece is too soft, the tool raises the edge of the cut and
makes a higher ragged edge.Fig.1, Fig.2, Fig.3 spraying
underglaze/engobesIf your clay has grog in it, or anything coarser
than fine sand, you won’t get a smooth cut. I use a rubber-tipped
air tool and a soft cosmetic brush to blow or brush off the
cuttings. The cut pieces are still moist enough to stick if you
touch them to the surface, so they should be removed frequently.
You can use a thin coat of wax resist to protect light-colored
areas from dark cuttings. The wax resist will burn off in the
bisque.
CAUTION - Overspray is hazardous. The engobe spray contains
silica, which can be harmful if inhaled.
Wear a mask, and make sure your booth has an exhaust
system.Fig.4 Place the platter on a foam rubber chuck on the wheel
and create the center spiral as the wheel turns.I use an
automotive-detail-type spray gun to apply engobes and glazes. It
has a smaller fan size than the full-size gun, has good volume and
is much faster than an airbrush. It’s a high volume/low pressure
(HVLP) gun and it produces less overspray. I use a large HLVP spray
gun for the cover glazes because of its high volume.I use a matt
and a shiny glaze to cover the engobes on the face of the pieces
and these two glazes are what I call “color friendly.” To get as
many colors as possible, they have to work with the chrome-tin
colors, i.e., the reds, pinks and purples. The molecular recipe has
to have three times more calcium than boron for these to work. They
have that ratio and will produce the right color with all my
engobes. I do use barium for what it does for the colors and for
the matt. The potential problem with it has to do with the heavy
metals and the possibility of leaching. From what I can find out,
if a glaze has less than 15% barium in the percentage composition,
it will not promote leaching. From the tests I have done, the
glazes that I now use do not promote leaching when used over the
engobes. I do use a liner glaze for liquid containers and I don’t
use the solid color glazes on eating surfaces.Fig.5 Move the
platter to a banding wheel and work freehand.I spray very wet, as
if I’m pouring on a small stream of the glaze or engobe on the
piece. The engobe sets quickly because the leather-hard piece can
absorb some water, but too much engobe and the piece can collapse.
If the engobe is too thick, it makes the color and the glaze crawl.
Set the fan for a tall oval and overlap the spray by 50% with the
piece on a banding wheel turning smoothly through the spray.
Practice spraying with paper plates so you can cover the plate
smoothly with no bare spots or dusty areas.The four colors of this
color set are Black, French Green, Chartreuse and Crimson and are
applied from dark to light (figures 1–2). The spray adds water to
the piece and it must dry to the leather hard state before it can
be carved. When dry enough, store the pieces on cloth on top of
plastic, and and place cloth over them to prevent condensation from
the plastic marring the color (figure 3).Fig.6 Scrape off large
areas last using the flat side of a rib.First I create the center
spiral and circle using a foam rubber chuck on the wheel (figure
4). All the other lines are done freehand on a banding wheel
(figure 5).The scraping of the larger white spaces is done last,
when the piece is even harder. I try to take off only the layer of
color (figure 6). I use the the tool tip to make a sort of ditch
that you can scrape to or from to make the larger white areas. I
use the flat side of a rib to make the larger cuts.Fig.7
Cross-hatching is done with a serrated tool.
There will be some edges that can be felt, and glazes will break
away from these edges, but the glaze will fill in to make it
smoother than when cut. Small nicks and cuts can be patched, but
the spray overlaps are very hard to color match, so it is best to
avoid mistakes! When almost bone dry, use 0000-grade steel wool to
lightly smooth some of the cuts and to remove small bits of
color.Cross-hatching is another way of exposing the white of the
porcelain and is done with a serrated-edge tool (figure 7). I add
black dots of engobe using a squeeze bottle. When all the carving
is done, the piece is air-dried then bisque fired, then a clear
satin matt or a shiny glaze is sprayed on the front and solid color
glazes on the back.Detail of trimming tool with ferrel removed and
watch-spring cutter formed to desired contour.
ToolsMy sgraffito tool tips are made from the main spring of a
pocket watch. The spring metal is thin and strong, doesn’t have to
be sharpened and keeps the same feel as it wears away. To make the
tip, cut a piece of spring, heat it with a small torch and bend it
to the shape you want. A small rounded point is used for the line
cutting tips, and a broader rounder tip for large cuts. Glue the
tip with Elmers glue into the brass ferrel of the trimming tool and
allow it to harden. Lightly heating the ferrel softens the glue and
the ferrel can be removed and another tip glued into the tool. For
ribs, cut them with tin snips from sheets of metal and flatten the
edges, making two square edges for scraping (do not sharpen the
edges). You can also cut serrated-edge ribs with the snips.
