How did the ROMANS and GREEKS make pottery? i have to make something for a project. and im trying to make something but i don't know how.i can't use a pottery wheel though. how did they make it. i need directions and pictures if you have any.
How can I make pottery? I want to start learning how to make pottery. A helpful what you need list and a how to paragraph or steps would be great. Also, where can I buy clay, and the pottery wheel? Thanks!
What makes pottery aquarium safe? How do I know if two different types of clays can be blended together? I am in the process of starting up a small business. I make aquarium ornaments and other decorative pieces out of earthenware. I want to add some color to my work without glaze. I'm considering using two or more types of clay in a single piece. How do i know if two clays can be blended into a single piece? I know it has something to do with the shrinkage rates and grog %. But where do I get this information and exactly how close do two types of clay have to be to be workable together. Also how do I know if a particular clay is aquarium safe. The supplier came right out and told me the first type of clay I used was safe but they aren't being nearly as helpful now for some reason. How do I know if the clay will hold up in water? How do I know if it will affect water chemistry? I do not have a kiln. I currently drive 2 freakin hours round trip to get my work fired. This makes glazing pieces extremely costly because of gas and additional kiln costs. But this is not the real reason I don't glaze. I like the look unglazed pieces take on once they mature. geocities.com/landonwebb there are a few mature pieces on my website. Take a look and you'll see what I mean. I want to blend clays so that i can maintain that effect. Glaze would add color but it would be so smooth that the algae would not colonize the piece nearly as well and it would not look as attractive.
Where can I find a place to take pottery classes? I live in Virginia beach, VA and I am interested in learning how to make pottery pieces, but I have not been able to find any classes. I am not interested in painting other people's pottery, I want to start from scratch.
How can I make temporary extra income while very busy? Wow I can't wait for the spam on this one. I know this is a stupid question. If I saw this question, I would assume that its answers were either spam, mockery, or "you cant" but I still have to ask it. I am a grad student with the normal amount of college debt, which I am able to pay off, but do not wish to contribute to (so a loan is not an option). I work a well paying job, and my wife works a well paying job. However, the money we make is spent on high rent, living expenses, and the rest is saved to pay off loans asap. We have both decided this is the smartest way to live right now. We are both very busy people, and there is no way to pick up a second formal job. Some times I have a lull of time which I would like to use to make a bit of cash on the side to fund some of our expensive hobbies (traveling, music equipment, etc). However this time is rare and far in between. We participate in many free and low cost hobbies, so it is not that I can't find ways to fill my time--but its just a simple fact that without $500-1000 there is no way I can buy a Fender Jazz Bass, or two train tickets to California, for example. I don't feel like we are living beyond our means, but I do feel locked into my income level for the next two years while I complete grad school. I am going to flag every response that has a "perfect work from home solution" as an abuse of the community guidelines, so don't bother with those. I know very well my limited options of working from home, so unless you have something novel like "make pottery coffee cups and sell them at the farmers market to upper middle class bohemians." A deep thanks to anyone who puts a drip of thought into their post.
How do you make a pottery kiln? Or can you use a closed door fire place as a kiln for pottery? If so, do you need to paint it before you put it in there? Can you paint it?

Learning to make Japanese pottery? I'm pretty interested in picking pottery as an art form although I have no idea how it works. What's the best way to start this?

How to make a pottery? What materials, tools do i need? I am writing a play for my english calss and it's about a boy go back in time to the ancient Pueblo Town. One part that i am planning to write is about a Pueblo girl teachs the boy how to make a pottery. But i have never made any potteries before, i have never seen anyone make them either. And the play takes place in the past, thousands years ago. So please make sure that I don't have to use any electronic device. Thank you. i think you're right, mike. But i am just a sophomore in high school, and i don't think my english teacher care about the social roles of male and female. The grade is based on creativity. i think you're right, mike.

How can I make an electric pottery wheel? I want to make my own electric pottery wheel, I keep finding people talking about it all over the net with a link that all leads to the same place, where your supposedly able to get plans to make a pottery wheel for $75, but the links dont work anymore because the site it was on has archived the page and from some detective work it turns out I can get that archived page...by paying them $20...stupid huh?... So im coming to you to help me find some plans for building an electric potters wheel, preferably one with an easy way to altar the speed on demand, such as a foot pedal hooked up to the motor, just like with a conventional electric wheel... Thankyou ahead of time for your help.
What should I do/try next? When I turned 26 I decided that I wanted to start trying different things each month/week like I had in the past. Problem is I'm starting to run out of ideas though. Among other things I've taken a chinese cooking class, learned how to make stained glass, created a huge vegetable/fruit garden, learned how to make pottery on a spinning wheel, gone to the shooting range, etc. Just looking for some ideas for different things to give a try.

What is this Poetry talking about? My grandmothers were strong. They followed plows and bent to toil. They moved through fields sowing seed. They touched earth and grain grew. They were full of sturdiness and singing. My grandmothers were strong. My grandmothers are full of memories Smelling of soap and onions and wet clay With veins rolling roughly over quick hands They have many clean words to say. My grandmothers were strong. Why am I not as they? All i got was that, she is talking about her female ancestors. And how strong they were, they didnt need a man to work the fields to grow the food, and yet did everything a woman had to do, like cleaning , cooking, and even making pottery. And she is not strong as they are, because she is a modern woman who doesnt have to do all that. What can you say more about it? and whats it about?
Do the laws of science tell us how things get created out of nothing (to people who don't believe in God)? Seriously, if there is NOTHING how can anything be created? don't we need Something to work with to create anything? can people make pottery with nothing? don't they need material? with God anything is possible so i believe He created everything and He did a Very good job at it too. but....? how does anything RANDOMLY get created from nothing? i really would like to understand what is logical about that thanks Bettyboop, imagine space....black empty motionless dark void. NOTHINg. ?

Linear programming problem.? Mary Smith makes pottery by hand in her basement. She has 20 hours available each week to make bowls and vases. A bowl requires 3 hours of labor, and a vase requires 2 hours of labor.

She wants to know how many of each item to make each week to maximize her revenue. Please show all work:)
Haitian wedding gifts, & culture? A close friend has been to Haiti a couple of times on mission trips with the church. She met, & grew to love, all the children there. She is getting married soon, & I would love to give her, as a wedding gift, something that could be symbolic of her experience there. Do Haitians have marriage/wedding ceremonies? Do they have traditional (cultural related) wedding gifts, & if so, what are they? Even if they don't, any suggestions on something that would be symbolic? Do they make pottery, jewelry, etc? And, without going there myself (which isn't likely), how would I go about getting something that's authentic?

Can someone explain free will to me? Seriously everytime I hear the story of Eve and the garden of eden I always hear about how free will failed and how god wasn't involved however who designed free will? A good, flawless god, right? Huh? So wait how did the flaws develope if a good god created free will? That makes no sense! Its like someone who makes pottery somehow makes a car. How does that happen? I mean how is it possible for a good, flawless god to somehow design something that doesn't work and is completely evil? Someone else had to have had a hand in the creation process which will prove that god is not omnipotent. What do you think? So when people say to me, "oh you! Don't you blame god." well who else am I supposed to blame? Satan? Come on he too was created by the good god and for some reason he turned out to be filled with flaw and completely evil. The good god created his nemisis. Every angel was created by god and 2/3 of his creation turned against him. How? He personally developed these people. How do these people turn out evil when they are designed by a good god? How does free will fail if it is designed by a flawless and good god. This doesn't make any sense. Oh and why is there evil and sin within the fruit when it was created by a god that frowns upon sins?
Dose he like me? What should I do? I have liked this guy for a while. He recently got out of a relationship. We talk from time to time. The other night he even drove me home on his motorcycle. But sometimes it seems that I do not exist to him. He will talk to the people around me but his eyes will skip me like I don't exist. He has also seemed slightly on the rebound since his break up. He will flirt with alot of girls. He throws (as in makes pottery) and will do the chessy "Let me teach you how to throw thing" with these girls. He only approaches me and talks to me when no one is around. He will give me these deep intenese stairs. He even seemed happy the other week when he kept asking me about this other guy that was into me. He asked me once and then later he gave an awkward silence and asked me again. When I assured him that I was not interested in the other guy he was laughing smiling and almost skipping in the way he was walking. I asked why he was excited and he told me it was because its nice when someone likes you. I almost wanted to ask why he got excited after I assured him that I was not into that other guy. I know that some of these signs might say that hes into me but he is being really nice to other girls as well. A mutual friend sais that he is on the prowl and hopes he will find someone good (guy). And another mutual friend assures me that he like me and I just need to make the right move (girl). He also talks about relationship stuff. Not anyone in particular, and not about his ex, but he talks allot about what he wants and dose not want in a relationship. He will also talk about the female body. He has pots he makes that look almost like a peanut but he sais its like the waist the hips and the breast. He describes the way he feels about these parts almost poetically. We can talk to one another so comfortably, we have both commented on how we like to talk to one another. I'm just so confused. Dose he like me or not, and if so am I just one in a bunch of girls. What should I do. Should I let him know how I feel, should I ask him out, should I bake him a tray of cookies? And what should I do if he is on the rebound. I've known this guy for a 1 1/2 years. He has never exhibited player tendencies before his break up. He has never been anything more than kind to me. I'm sure if he were a player he would have done more by now.
We are ALL dorks in some way! Can you list ways in which YOU are dorky!? Lets see... I'd rather stay in my PJ's all day eating popcorn and watching spongebob instead of texting my friends all day. I like to make dorky videos with my friends. I love making pottery! Whenever I see sunglasses on a rack, i wear them, have weird expressions, and take funny pictures with my camera phone. Ok, I listed ways I am a dork. Now it's your turn. How are YOU a dork?
My child will be better off raised by someone who has more to offer? Is this really the best thing? I typed a lot so hang in there. I'm 19 years old and 4 months pregnant. Separated from father of child. Living Situation: I live in a motor home - but it has bedding, bathroom, kitchen, table, it has space. I get restless in one location, so I brought the Motor Home so I could live around the country. I’m a free flowing going where the wind blows type of person. Money: I make pottery, jewelry, and other crafts and sell what I make at markets and online. My parents are pushing adoption. The keep saying, the baby will be better raised by a family with more income. They refuse to let me and the baby live with them, if I should need assistance. For them it’s either adoption or I’m on my own. They hardly talk to me now, unless it's to ask if I've decided on adoption. My question is: Does it really matter - the material things you can offer? Do children need a lot? I know they need food and diapers, but other than that how hard can it be? > [If you were adopted] would have mattered to you if your birth parents couldn't buy you the extra stuff? Is the house, yard, and dog, everything kids dream of… what if your home was a motor home/RV, would that suck? Would you prefer to grow-up with more stuff? They keep saying I'm being selfish? Am I being selfish for wanting to keep my baby? I don't want to be selfish. Thanks so much everyone for the encouragement. I want to be a mother, I guess I needed a little kick to remind me that I can, regardless of what my parents say. Thanks :) I can find an apartment or Motor Home community. I know I have to give up the road, but that won't be a problem. I understand [Jason]. I wish you Good Luck :)
Bored with sex or just not feeling it.? I am a 28 year old male. I find myself rarely being attracted to anyone, let alone physically/sexually. To sum up a lot of what i'll explain here, i am what happens when an ADHD kid decides to use his 'disorder' for the best. In preface, you should know that i was once a lazy slob. I weighed 340 pounds, played magic/video games constantly and generally did poorly in school and life. Over the course of a couple years, i exercised, reprioritized everything and now weigh a trim 195 lbs of solid muscle with a 32-inch waist. I got a masters in chemistry with a 3.5 and have finished my current PhD coursework in biochem with a 3.75. To be blunt and short, i picked myself up and started kicking ass. I was lucky to have decent genetics so i'm not hard on the eyes either. The problem, if you can call it that is that I cannot sit still to save my life. During the day i work in the lab, teach for UK and tutor. During the nights i exercise compulsively and make pottery in a local art studio. My days generally run from 8am-11pm. That is fine with me, as i can't stand "watching" anything that i am not participating in. I am the manifestation of ADHD. I generally can't watch a movie unless i've run 6 miles and am enjoying the following runner's high. This means i tend to think everyone around me is lazy as shit. I also cannot fathom wasting a couple hours watching sports. To get to the point, I have a great girlfriend. She is gorgeous, tall, artistically talented, intelligent, etc. However, she complains about everything she has a problem with instead of acting on it. She is relatively lazy as well (compared to me). At the moment she doesn't push herself in life and is content to just float through. In this, I find myself being critical of her life philosophy and pick her apart if we're sexually active as i unintentionally see her as a reflection of myself. (I take sex very seriously after raising a daughter for a year that turned out not to be mine when i was 21.) My girlfriend of a year is so ridiculously sweet and caring that it tears her apart for me to say anything about her not finishing projects or generally not pushing herself. She sees it to be true and takes it out on herself that she isn't enough. However, if we stop having sex for a bit, i can find the distance i need not to take her lack of ambition personally and comment on it. So.. with all this said, I end up backing out of "sex" when she is generally bitchy, lazy, complacent, or failing just so i won't judge/criticize her. This, of course, makes things worse because she then feels unwanted/undesired and we know what happens when girls feel that. Nuclear war begins. Just wondering if anyone has had a problem with this.. I truly feel like i cannot relate to anyone in this issue. Any suggestions? I can't undo my conditioning or experiences.. and i can't really change how i analyze situations/life. It doesn't do much good to say, "don't think this way," etc.
how bad did this date go? basically i was invited by this girl i like to go to a place that makes pottery so i could make my own design. little did i know that she brought a friend who would constantly be talking bad about EVERYONE the staff at the pot place, and the waiter at the lunch place, ect. after we finished the pots it turned out to be $32 and i was 4 dollars short and had to call my dad to drop off more money, which came at a bad time cause they were hungry. then we went to a sushi place and i didn't eat cause i dont like susi. oh and to top it all off the day was completly akward and we only had a couple times were we all talked fluently. how bad was this date do u think the other girl is talking crap about me? were all 16
How do you repolish a bathtub? Ok so there were some rust stains in my bathtub and I had to get them out. Nothing worked, not even magic eraser. Anyway, so I was at the store and I saw Lime-Away got rid of rust stains. Sounds easy enough, right? Well I put it on and scrub it as hard as I can and still nothing. Then i thought I'd let the Lime-Away liquid sit on the stain until it came out. And it actually worked! Only, it took away the polishing of the tub. Now wherever I put the Lime-Away, there are scratchy parts and indents where polishing used to be. In other words, it's not longer glossy but looks like it just came out of the oven when you make pottery. Help! What should I do?
How common is it for pottery to do courses ? I am doing a research and i want to know if it`s common for the potteries to make courses of how to do some. In my country they don`t, that`s why i ask for the UK , but i guess US will be the same.

How to keep this artist as a friend? I know this artist, and she is a very talented painter. The way she view things gets on my nerves at times. To her photography isnt art. Doll making, pottery, things of that nature , she is always saying they aren't art, they are crafts or hobbies. She is very narrow minded too when she sees other paintings, if it isnt realistic, or if it isnt Leonardo quality she can be so critical that it just irritates me. What do you say to someone like that and keep them as your friend? I have never met anyone so artistic but so narrow minded. I know she struggles with being famous one day, her goal in life, although she tends to miss out on all the things in life, kinda sad.

Why is the human brain so effective at fooling people that they are mentally connected to a “higher force”? Why do so many people swear blind that they’ve felt the “touch” of God/Allah/Jesus/Buddha/Mother Nature/Brahman/Ishvara/Their dead Grandma/The Ghost of next door’s cat/ Igzi'abihier/Vahigurū/Some tarrot cards/ Patrick Swayze making pottery/The alignment of the planets/Mwari/Deus/Appolo/<insert imaginary concept here>? I know what you’re thinking… “They are all made up APART FROM <insert the one(s) you believe in here>”. I don’t doubt that people believe in them with all their hearts, but…. Does no one notice that these things only exist in their heads? There’s nothing wrong with that- I’m sure these things can help you in many psychological ways (for example I don’t doubt that they can give you confidence/strength/hope- and I agree that these things are massively important)- but surely they have no effect on the universe outside of your head. They are simulations created by your brain. I’m sure some people are as certain of the existence of the above things as they are that they are breathing, but the brain is capable of some very powerful simulations- It’s a highly complex machine! After all, everything you feel and sense is a simulation by your brain… If these “spiritual” phenomena don’t affect anything apart from your mind (no matter how strongly you feel it), it’s pretty safe to say that it’s a product of your brain. __________________________________________________________________ I mean if there were “forces” at work, they would affect the physical world, not just your head.. Right? ___________________________________________________________________ Why is it so difficult for people to let go? – And how can it overpower rational people to the point that they ignore rational argument? ____________________________________________________________________ You’ve gotta admit, if there was “something in it” that certain brains were “sensitive” to, people would all have the same whacky belief… Not all totally different ones. - Ya can't all be right- And I know you're equally sure as one another! ____________________________________________________________________ Let the cryptic incoherent vagaries begin…. Denis C: I think you miss read the details. The universe is a mysterious and awesome place... That's why I'm so interested in studying it. I realise that there is still a great deal about it which is yet to be understood, and that is half of the appeal. Trust me when I say I'm not as closed minded as you think I am! If you think my point was that "I understand the universe and you don't"- Then you are very wrong. The more I learn about it, the more I realise how little we understand. But I have never seen any evidence to make me believe that there are supernatural forces connecting to our minds... I have seen plenty of evidence to show that the brain is very capable of creating this illusion. Which is more likely? dartagnon p : Haha, I knew you wouldn't like this one! Sorry! I'm going to bed now, I'll read tomorrow.
Can someone help me find some archive photos? My father in law is from a town in Sicily called Santo Stefano Di Camastra and it's famous for making ceramics (pottery).

He has many relatives there and would like to see some old photos. Thanks.
Can someone tell me the proper drill-bit type to make a hole in pottery? Ive been using larger masonry bits to make drainage holes in heavy ceramic pottery (which has no holes in it); sometimes I'm sitting on the drill for 5 minutes before it even makes the smallest hole. I can swear I did this a few years with much better ease - but, I have no idea what type of drill bit I used. Not trying to drill thru terra-cotta or anything like that - but, like heavy ceramic - such as what a heavy coffee mug or hefty soup bowl would be like. Thats what Im trying to plant some funky bulb plants into and I must have good drainage? Any ideas???

What is the best pottery wheel? I want a pottery wheel that works really well! I want a cheap one though. The one I had before was the 15 dollar plastic wheel. The battery died out every 5 min. The foot pedal wasn't that great either. My little brother could use the pottery wheel also. I make great pottery, I am not a pro though. Is there any adult wheels that are around $50? If not then what is the best child wheel there is out there that is only $50. But it really needs to have 4/5 stars, I prefer 5 stars! The speed needs to be decent!

What type of pottery wheel should I buy? I am signed up a for a beginner's lesson, but recently found out that a local high school will be auctioning off their pottery wheels and kilns. I don't know what type they are, but in general, would this likely be a good purchase? What are the price ranges I should expect? Also, does anyone know where there would be a studio that gives lessons close to Mansfield Ohio? The one I'm signed up at is over an hour away. Thanks!!

How can I be sure my glazed pottery is aquarium safe? I made a sculpture in college that I want to put in my fishtank, but I used three different types of glazes on it...all earthtones like red, brown, and green. I know that some glazes can release minerals that can be harmful to fish over time, is there any way I can tell that the glazes on my sculpture won't do that??
