Stoneware Pottery

The making of stoneware pottery seems to be a growing coffee mugs personalized clay artists activity in the north, perhaps as many makers marks as a hundred Alaskans are spending considerable time at it. Some use imported dinnerware, but many dig their own made at Healy, Alaska, Canada, Colorado, Minnesota or other crock localities.

Plasticity is the essential feature of clay that makes pottery production possible. It derives from the plate-like shape of clay particles, very thin but elongated in two dimensions. This shape gives extensive surface area for adsorbing of thin layers of water molecules which bond together the clay particles but allow them to slip past each other when clay is thrown on a potter's wheel or otherwise fabricated into particular shapes. Very tiny, of the order of one-thousandth of a millimeter in length, clay particles result from weathering, grinding up and disintegration of rock materials. Two general types of clays exist: primary clays are those formed in place, and secondary clays are those transported by water and later laid down in beds. The secondary clays usually have greater plasticity than the primary clays. The clay layers intermixed with the Healy coal beds are highly plastic secondary clays.

The chemical composition of clay is similar to the average composition of rocks found at the earth's surface. Silicon, aluminum and iron oxides make up more than 80% of this average composition. A general formula for clay, considering it to be a mineral, is Al2 O3. 2SiO2. 2H2O. Here the water contained is actually within the clay particles, other water molecules adsorb to the particle surfaces when clay is wetted. Clay takes up so much adsorbed water that when it is plastic enough to shape, it will be about one- fourth water. But all that added water only increases the volume by about 5%.
My wife Michele is a funtional potter, now dabbling in sculpture, who also uses the kick wheel for just the reasons you provide on your site.

Man, our cupboards are filled with her stuff and others. She took me to Japan a couple year ago to Hamada's hometown where we visited his studio and kiln. We went to see other potters' studios as well. Saw lots of Leach's stuff, too. 

She wont let my have any manufactured pieces in the cupboards. But that's okay. I've learned to love it all and really appreciate the philosophy behind the "unknown craftsman" movement. 

She's even got me roped into helping at a craft fair this summer. She thinks if I sit around and plunk on the guitar, it may attract folks. Could scare them off, I suppose.

Slowed by injuries, Rockets center Yao retires

HOUSTON -- the first major Chinese star to break into the NBA, has decided to retire after nine star-crossed seasons with the Rockets, according to league sources.

Yahoo! Sports was the first to report the announcement.

The 30-year-old center played just five games over the past two seasons and has determined that he is unable to make a complete recovery from stress fracture in his left ankle and tendon strain.

At 7-foot-6, entered the league as the No. 1 pick in the 2002 draft and became literally and figuratively the largest symbol of the NBA's growing expansion around the world and particularly in Asia.

Yao was an eight-time NBA All-Star and in five seasons he was voted onto the league's second or third All-NBA team. He averaged 19.1 points and 9.3 rebounds and 1.9 blocked shots in his career.

He arrived in Houston in 2002 as towering and iconic as the durable Great Wall of China, yet over the course of his NBA career image became increasingly fragile. After missing just two games due to injury in his first three years in the league, he was sidelined for 250 over the past six seasons.

He would have become a free agent at end of the current lockout and had spent months trying to rehabilitate his ankle for one more chance at playing. He has said his desire was to remain in Houston to play for the Rockets.

However, he did not want to jeopardize his health for life after playing. parents were concerned enough about his welfare that they did not want him to attempt a return to the NBA after the broken bone in his foot that was suffered in the playoffs of May 2009.

Following the birth of his daughter that same spring, he said: "I can only try so many times. I want to be able to run around and play with my child, not always wear a cast and use these crutches."
