Evolving Creative Thrown Pottery Vessels From Basic Forms, Kenneth Raymond Moser
All Master's Theses
By progressively varying the design elements of the silhouette, many different pottery forms can be evolved. By employing this approach, the potter can completely explore his theories of design and find the better proportion and placement of all elements of his forms.

The Development Of A Cone Four Ware From Materials Easily Accessible To Central Washington College Of Education, Lura Elizabeth Bellamy
All Master's Theses
The purpose of this paper is to describe, explain and conclude a series of experiments in search of the development of a clay body that would have the characteristics of: (1) vitrifying at Cone 4, yet be refractory enough to withstand the heat; and (2) being plastic so that is works well on the wheel. Additional study involved the experimentation of glazes on the clay bodies with the hopes of finding some to fit. The factors determining the use of clays that are economical and easily accessible to Central Washington College of Education were also considered.

How To Use Local Clays In School Ceramics, Warren R. Scott
All Master's Theses
The object of this paper is to assist the ceramics teacher in experimentation with local clays. The use of local clays has a definite esthetic value, especially when the teacher makes use of all of the instructional aids associated with the geology and industrial–ceramic aspects which may be incorporated with field trips and the experimentation and processing necessary to make the clay useful.

An Experiment With Mineral Pigments In A Prepared Frit, Cecelia Long
All Master's Theses
It was the purpose of the writer to conduct a series of line blend experiments with mineral pigments in a prepared fritted glaze with the intention of finding: (1) the effects of the different mineral pigments, and (2) the desired quantities of these coloring agents in a given glaze. It was expected that the experiment would result in a set of sample tiles which could then be used in teaching.
