Anybody heard of them, done them, met a famous ceramic artist, or are you related to one? Also, what styles do you like? Pictures please!

Me personally, I'm related to one, and I know a few artists. I thought this would be cool topic, since there's so much diversity in this art.

Discuss!

I like ceramic stuff.

I collect ceramic dragons and met some of the people who made and sold them at flea markets, fairs and other such places. Not anyone fanous since I've never heard of any famous ceramics people, And I've tryed to do ceramic stuff not very well though.



That's my dog. I suppose it's not really ceramics since I don't have a kiln to make them harden though.

I do a lot of pottery at a studio nearby where I live.

I moved this to Artists Hangout, it fits in here better. I don't know famous ceramic artists, unfortunately. But of course, like a lot of people I know some who are just good at ceramics. It's nice when they make you stuff as a present!

That's actually a really good form.

Did you bisk fire it?

I didn't do anything with it I just have this big chunk of clay, my art teacher gave me, I make stuff with. I take a picture then make something else from the same clay. I've kept a couple though cause I like them, that dog, a dragon head, and a bird. I want to go to an art place to fire them but I keep forgetting.

I do like keeping them this way though because if I spot a mistake I can fix it, or add something.

I don't recommend this to anyone - Actually, I think it could end disastrously, so I would say not to do it at all. Anyways, a friend once put her clay sculpture in an oven. It hardened and stayed so from then on. Just an interesting thing. There were cracks in it though.

[Prudery]

Was it real clay or the sculpey stuff?

Firing at that low a temprature causes cracks often. A home oven doesn't even go as high as a bisk kiln does.

[Pixel]

I don't remember what it was.

But yeah of course an oven is nothing to a real kiln.

[Quoth the Raven]

It probably wasn't the kind of clay that needs to be bisque fired; the Sculpey brand and similar stuff can be oven fired.

If I ever get a new camera, I'll upload the full-scale head portrait I did in sculpting last year. I love sculpting, but it's very hard.

[Quoth the Raven]

I'm taking Sculpture next year.

[Prudery]

Just to be clear, (No offense to anyone, I'm just a nut about this.) sculpture and ceramics are two different things.

Sorry, I'm a nut about this.

[Lady Goldylocks]

Haha, I know, but I don't really think we need two different threads for it. They're closely related. I've done ceramics a long time ago, I mage a cup and a plate and some stuff, but I was like 9 so it doesn't really look very good. I'm not even sure where it is anymore. I've also gone to a course where we only painted the ceramics. That was pretty fun. Looked a lot better than my other work too XD

Yeah, I know, but my art teacher is an idiot. Therefore we do pottery in Sculpture. Although technically, it depends what kind of sculpture you're doing. If it's the kind of sculpture that "sculpture" makes people think of, i.e. sculpture by removal, then it's apparently not ceramics. However handbuilding with clay, like that which someone posted a picture of, is a type of sculpture. According to a slightly more reliable art teacher. =P
