Where can I get pottery supplies locally, like clay ribbon loops? I live in Columbus OH and I'm trying to find somewhere close that I can buy clay ribbon loops. I don't really know where to look. Any suggestions would be helpful! Thanks!

handmade ceramics, clay, pottery, sculpture using no kiln, oven bake or no bake supplies? I have a project with clay/ ceramics/ sculpture I want to get underway. I am planning on making a set of "functional items": plates, bowls, cups etc. I would really like to use a kiln, (you know, the whole glazing and firing deal) but I don't have the resources where I live. 1) Is there any sort of non bake or low bake clays that will allow me to make these projects at home? 2) I also want to paint them, and hopefully glaze them. By doing this, will I also be able to use them "functionally"? And what is the best glaze for this? 3) Can I heat them and wash them without ruining the pottery or without causing safety hazards? 4) How is the comparison in quality as opposed to finishing them with a kiln? Thanks in advance! Best Wishes!

What is the best type of kiln for some one just starting out? I am about to graduate from high school and have 3 years of experience making pottery through the class that school offers; I want to buy my own supplies and possibly open a studio. I know a lot about stoneware clays, glazes, and under glazes, but not much about the running of the kiln since the teacher handles it. I believe the one we have at school is electric... What type of kiln do you recommend? Any information is greatly appreciated!

Pottery is really important to visual art. The ancient Greeks valued pottery. Pottery was made for different reasons. Undecorated pottery was used for kitchen and storage purposes. Ceramics were also used for cooking,water supplies,table purposes and feeding bottles. Two handled pots was used for food and liquid. More early corinthian (pottery) was used for household purposes. More fancy pottery was used to decorate sitting rooms as well as other places. There where many artists and potters who made and decorated Amphamora. There was Aplles, who was the official sculptor of Alexander the great, who was a king. Some other names of ancient Greek artists were Polygnotus,Lesth,Mikon and Zeuxis. These potters used different kind of styles. The severe style which was from 530 B.C.E to 380 B.C.E .The Free Style was used from 480 B.C.E to 380 B.C.E. Ceramics featured many different colors and ways of decorating . They painted slip on everything but the figure. Slip is potter's clay that is thinned and used for coating or decorating ceramics. The figure is the main design of the amphamora. The red figure and black figure was very popular on pottery. It involved painting the back round black and the figures red(as seen in image one ). Same as black figure except the figures were black and the background was red. The red and black figure technique was both used for small and ordinary scenes from everyday life. They decorated by painting and writing on the pottery. Pottery was painted with a naturalistic theme which means that they used a lot of nature scenes on it the ceramics. They had geometric vases meaning the designs were circles,ovals,lines ect. repeating in a mathematical way. They used colors like yellow,red,purple,black and white. The designs were very detailed and specific. They used a palmette honeysuckle pattern which is palm and honey suckle leaves arranged in a rotating cluster. They had decorated borders, frezzies with overlapping circles crossed by straight lines. Some patterns were bead,drop and scroll. The scroll pattern was a ribbon like theme in shape or a scroll. They had harmonious proportions which means that they blend really well together. They painted animals in continuous bands. Animals like panthers,lions ,goats,deer and large birds. The figures on the pottery helped portray the scenes that were painted on the pottery. Kings and warriors were carved into the pottery. Gods,Goddesses and human beings where also on the pottery. Orpheus, a superhero was very popular on Greek pottery , as well as other super heroes. Greek pottery was made at different times. At Around 11,00 B.C.E people around the world were making pottery. The ancient Greeks caught on to this and started it during the new stone age . During the Hellenistic period pottery wasn't as popular. The times potter was popular was 530 B.C.E to 480 B.C.E and from 480 B.C.E to 330 B.C.E. Ancient Greek pottery was important to Greek art. Ancient Greek corinthian was used for storage, decorating and had many details. Pottery today is in art museums,auctions and shops. Now they use a potters wheel. What Ancient Greek pottery and pottery today have in common is that they were u

Does my room reflect my personality? I want to change my room, because I don't think that it reflects who I am, but some people say that I'm over exaggerating My room: Light green walls, with absolutely nothing on them A 5 shelf book shelf, the bottom shelf is almost completely filled with books, and there are a few on the top shelf to. The second shelf from the bottom has some stuff I made from clay, there is also a few clay pieces on the shelf above that one, one of them is a huge mug that is filled with little plastic animals, but mostly that shelf is filled with birthday cards from friends and family, and thins like that. The second to last shelf has my DVD, so in other words, it's almost empty. Pictures I've drawn, mostly leaning against the shelf. A parakeet playground and a cardboard box filled with other bird care supplies. Wrapping paper. Some cardboard boxes where I keep some of my other stuff, like artwork I don't really like. Desk, a bunch of papers, that are important to me in one way or another, a box of pencils, a leopard print vase (not my choice) with yellow roses, cute animal calender, colored pencils, a spray for cleaning glasses, glue, stapler, tape. There is a binder and a yearbook on the floor by the desk. Gray chair, my backpack (purple, with pink and white flowers (getting new one soon (I hope))), a bunch of plastic bags are on top of it. There is a black tote bag, with a pattern of different colored hearts, it has my swim stuff inside. Bed, pillows, if you look carefully, they have pictures of roses on them, bed sheet, white with small pinkish purple flowers, I like, but no one ever sees it, beige blanket, there are usually some clothe I wore the day before and a toy dog on the far end. There is a rag doll I made around here somewhere. There is a large gap between the bed and wall, where things tend to fall, but I can't move my bed any closer. Door, there is a bird shaped hanger, that sometimes falls of, it has two bathrobes on it, one that I use right no, purple and fuzzy, and an older neon yellow one that says princess on it, it also has a huge crown on the back. Dresser, there are some gym clothe sticking out from the lowest drawer, and a parakeet cage on top, obviously there is a parakeet inside the cage. There is a towel that I use to cover up the cage at night. There is a large sliding door closet mirror, two of my jacket sleeves are sticking out (different jackets). Finally, there is a pink "organza hatbox", on top of a jack-o-lantern shaped candy bag, which I borrowed for Halloween from my friends, and still haven't returned. My room is slightly messy, but it still takes only a few seconds to clean. Me: I am 14 years old, and am going to 8th grade this year. I love to read, in fact, most members in my family think I read to much. I like almost any type of art, but my favorite are pottery and acting. I like science too tough, but I don't really have a favorite type their. I pretty much hate sports, specially ones that include balls, the sports I do like are rock climbing, skating, riding my bike, and kind of swimming. I love anything to do with animals and nature, as long as it isn't a spider, and I tend to get emotionally attached to any type of animal that I have seen close up, or held, which is why I don't eat lobster, and will never dissect a frog, unless I am forced to in High School or veterinary school (where I'm hoping to end up). My friends think that I'm weird that way, and it's not like less frogs will be killed for dissection, but I still think I'm at least making a small difference. Anyway, me and my friend have decided that everybody is weird, which makes being weird normal, and my weirdness is that I get emotionally attached to anything, starting with ants and ending with giraffes, oh, and memorizing random things. I am at leas a year older than all of my friends, so I am often the one who is left in charge whenever we go somewhere without our parents, so I at least try to be the responsible one, but I can't say i always succeed, because I'm not exactly the most organized person on earth. It's a little funny, I like to organize things, but I never stick to it. Oh, and my favorite colors are blue and purple. So basically, I want my room to show that I love reading, animals, spending time with friends, pottery/drawing/acting, and rock climbing. It would be nice if it had storage space that made it easy to organize things, and maybe had something blue or purple in it (not the wall colors). And I don't want it be too girlie (a little is nice, just not too much), or look like it belongs to someone much younger, or much older than me. Would you say my room has at least some or those qualities? Which ones? What should I do to add the other ones?
