Color Trends
If youre an artist or designer who spends time haunting the blogosphere and scrolling through shelter pages to find the latest trends in interior design and making yourself aware of what people are looking for and buying, then youre probably looking at color, too. One way potters can work their way into more sales is to pay attention to fabrics and wall coverings. Now were not saying potters should change their glaze colors every few years to match the furniture, but being aware of what colors are hot in industry may

AccuAngle
The AccuAngle is a one-step cutting and beveling tool. There are eleven preset angles to create basic geometric shapes, from 3-sided equilateral triangles to 12-sided dodecagons. A 90 angle is included for squaring edges. The AccuAngle ruler is scaled in inches and includes a centering scale. The tool is designed to be used with any long needle tool. The holes in the sliding cutter are preset at specific angles with the lowest hole cutting a 30 angle. To use the tool, the ruler rests on top of the clay slab, then the sliding cutter is inserted into the ruler and positioned just beyond the edge of the slab. The needle tool is inserted into the desired angle hole and the tip of the tool allowed to rest lightly on the cutting surface. The slider is grasped and pulled resulting in a clean, straight bevel cut. Bevels can be cut from the finished/exterior side of the clay slab or from the unfinished/interior side. www.accuangle.com/index.html
Skutt 22-inch KM Series

Skutt offers a new line of kilns that provides a mix of height and volume for those artists and teachers who have difficulty opening and loading a 27-inch-deep kiln due to the height. Previously, there were no models in between 18 and 27 inches high, so the 22-inch-high kilns provide easy access without sacrificing capacity. Available in sizes comparable to taller kilns, these new kilns range in capacity from 2.9 cubic feet to 8.1 cubic feet Note that larger diameter kilns hold more bowls per cubic foot due to the larger stacking surface on each shelf. These kilns are rated for cone 10 porcelain and stoneware and are available in three sizes. Each size is available with 2.5-inch insulating brick, KilnMaster Controller and a lid lifter assist (except for the small KM822). Skutt upgrades consist of type-S thermocouple, zone control, APM elements, 3-inch insulating bricks (standard on the KM1222), and rolling stand. www.skutt.com/products/22-kmkilns.html

Bailey Quick-Trim
The Bailey Quick-Trim (patent pending) is a low-cost centering bat for holding a pot securely when you trim the foot. The Quick-Trim has four holding points for securing the pot for trimming. This provides flexibility for not only trimming round symmetrical forms, but also asymmetrical and multisided forms as well. Its all done with strong magnets that are easily positioned on a powder-coated, metal-surfaced bat. The magnets can be quickly arranged to hold all types of forms. Each magnet holder has a dense foam exterior, is -inches high, and has a non-absorbent vinyl covering to prevent contamination from different clays. The unit functions in either a clockwise or counter-clockwise rotation, and its low profile allows it to sit low in the splash pan to catch trimmings. The Quick-Trim fits onto any size wheel head with 10-inch centered bat pins (the industry standard). www.baileypottery.com
The Janus Ovation Glass/Pottery Kiln

Paragons Janus Ovation can fire both pottery and glass. With heating elements mounted in the top and side walls, a switch is used to select between glass and pottery modes. With the switch in the glass position, heat comes from the top elements and the middle side-wall element. With the switch in the pottery position, heat comes from only the side-wall elements. In the glass mode, its possible to fuse and sag large glass projects placed on a single shelf, and the kiln fires to cone 10 in the pottery mode. The kiln is equipped with a patented dual-spring-assisted lid support that transfers the weight of the lid to a massive hinge assembly on the back of the kiln to reduce stress on the kiln wall. The elements in the lid are mounted in a firebrick ball groove that eliminates element pins. The element coils are wider than the groove opening, so the elements stay in place without pins and dissipate heat. The lid element grooves and inner lid surface are coated for long life. An optional mercury relay upgrade is available if you plan to anneal glass for long periods. www.paragonweb.com/Janus_Ovation_Oval_Kiln.cfm

L&L corona
L&L is introducing the Corona Kiln, a fiber-lined kiln that reaches 2012F. Heat-up time is quick: 15 minutes to 1600F, 30 minutes to 1900F. The kiln weighs 35 pounds and measures 7 inch wide by 8 inch deep by 5 inch high. Ideal for small, low-fire ceramic work, heat treating, precious metal clay (PMC) and glass work, the kiln is equipped with an Orton Autofire controller with three clay programs, five PMC programs, and twelve custom programs. The kiln is front loading with a horizontal plug door hinged on left. A quartz window is centered in the door. A -inch diameter vent is located in the top. Insulation is 1-inch molded ceramic fiber with a -inch air space between the case and the insulation module. construction consists of powder-coated precision sheet metal, with all controls and components mounted in a control panel that slides into the ventilated case assembly. An air space keeps controls cool. The kiln pulls only 12 amps at 120 volts so it plugs into any standard 120 volt outlet. www.hotkilns.com/corona
AmAco Sprig molds and Texture Rollers

AmAco has introduced a series of textured clay roller sleeves and roller. The textured roller sleeves are 4 inches wide and come in four designs that are interchangeable with the handle. AmAco also added six sprig molds to its clay mold line-up. made from high quality, durable plaster, these molds are suitable for adding decorative elements with moist clay to thrown and handbuilt pieces. Each mold has anywhere from three to eleven patterns within a theme: handles, Day of the Dead, fossils, koi fish, leaves, and Mimbres motifs. www.amaco.com/new-products-for-2011
Dyna-Lift Lid Lift Assist

For their large kilns, Evenheat offers a patented Dyna-Lift lid lift to lighten the force needed to operate the kiln lid on a variety of its models. It attaches directly to the kiln stand via a single link, not the kiln body. The lifting forces push and pull against the lifts rear post, lifting arm and kiln stand. Theres no twisting or torquing and no other connection to the kiln so no forces are placed on the kiln wall, hinge or lid. The Dyna-Lift also takes advantage of the fact that corners provide excellent strength for mounting by connecting directly to the existing corner mounted lid handle. A lid vent allows the kiln to vent at three positions on glass kilns and two positions on ceramic kilns. The lifts arm, post and mounting bracket are delivered assembled as one unit. www.evenheat-kiln.com/ceramic/options/dynalift/

Oneida Air Ceramic Dust Cobra Kit

Oneida Air Systems has traditionally made dust collection systems for woodworkers but recently expanded into industrial vacuum systems. The Oneida Air Systems Ceramic Dust Cobra Kit is a new concept in studio clean-up. Its ultra-high efficiency cyclone captures 99% of the dust before it reaches the filter in an easy-to-handle dust drum and the remaining dust gets captured by a HEPA filter. The filter is a standard CleanStream HEPA filter available at home centers and costs under $50. The kit includes the cyclone system, mobile cart, two filters, plastic bag hold-down for the drum, and hose accessories. Because the system has a high air performance, it can be used with a long hose. The unit weighs less than 50 lbs. and runs on 110 volts. It also comes with a Filter Pulse Cleaning Bar so the filter can be cleaned with a few easy pushes while operating the vacuum so there is no loss of suction. www.oneida-air.com

Materials Update
The stuff of ceramics does not tend to change very rapidly (like geology), but sometimes the unexpected can throw your studio for a loop. Here are a few things to get you up to speed.
Kona F-4, NC-4, and Minspar 200
These sodium feldspars are all pretty much the samethats the long and short of it. When Kona F-4 ceased production because of a fire at its processing plant in late 2008, NC-4 feldspar was substituted by suppliers. Minspar 200 is simply the name on the bag when you buy NC-4 feldspar. Sometimes, you can ask a supplier for Kona F-4 and no one will say a word, but youll get a bag of Minspar 200. It should work just fine as a 1-to-1 substitution in most recipes, unless the feldspar is a large portion of the glaze. A good rule of thumb is to be especially wary if a recipe calls for more than 20% of a feldspar and you plan to do a substitution. As always, test, test, test!
This is good news because regardless of how much is left, and how many of us continue to use it, a reliable substitute had been elusive. The reason for this was the nature of Gerstley borate itself. Its chemistry used to shift within a fairly wide range, containing anywhere between 1628% boron, 1018% silica, and 1826% calcium; but, according to a company spokesperson, those elements are now stable at 26.8% boron, 14.8% silica, and 19.4% calcium. Combine the variability of older stocks with a high loss on ignition from water and carbon, as well as a tendency to gel in the bucket, and mostly what you got was reliability one small batch at a time, only after extensive testing. Testing a stable Gerstley borate may be a relief.
G-200 Chemistry Change
Gillespie Borate
When the G-200 feldspar mine in Georgia was exhausted and a new mine was begun nearby in 2005, the new formula contained more potassium and less sodium than the material most of its users had come to rely on. To compensate for this, Feldspar Corp. (the previous owners of the mine) augmented the mined material to match the formula previously sold by adding a soda feldspar from North Carolina (NC-4). However, when Feldspar Corp. was purchased by Imerys, they opted to cease this practice, and the current product from the mine is labeled G-200HP (HP for High Potassium). In most glazes, this will not necessarily mean drastic changes in your glazes (unless the feldspar is a significant portion of the recipe). You can substitute Custer feldspar, which is very similar, but has somewhat less calcium, so you may need to adjust for that. Alternatively, you can make your own original recipe of G-200 by simply mixing 70% G-200HP with 30% Minspar 200 (the trade name for NC-4 feldspar) to get a close approximation. Or, if you just want to mix up the amount you need for a particular recipe, multiply the amount of G-200 called for by 0.7 and use that amount of G-200HP, then multiply the amount of G-200 called for by 0.3 and use that amount of Minspar 200.
Gerstley Borate Once and For All?
Now, before you turn the page in frustration, understand that this is not an announcement about the mine closing; this is simply an update on how much may be left, and the composition. At the time of closing, a large pile of unprocessed material sat on the mine site. Laguna Clay Co. began processing and selling the remaining material shortly thereafter (in the early 2000s). In 2009, they purchased the site and thought there may be as much as a 1920-year supply. Enough to meet the needs of studio potters for years to come.
Gillespie Borate is a blended borate mineral for use in glaze formulas replacing Gerstley borate on a pound for pound basis. Gerstley borate is a complex ore but a major benefit of the unrefined naturally formed combination of minerals is its ability to produce variegated surfaces in glazes. Potters firing electric kilns, which have neutral atmospheres, often end up with flat static glaze effects much like bathroom tile colors. Gerstley borate can help to remedy this problem. Carbon-based fuel kilns such as natural gas, propane or wood have the capacity to fire in oxidation, neutral, and reduction atmospheres resulting in varied glaze colors and surfaces. If it wasnt for this unique characteristic of Gerstley borate it would have been abandoned when the first series of its faults appeared. Gerstley borates wide swings in chemical composition are a factor in finding a direct substitute. Its like trying to hit a moving target when deciding on what chemical formula to use when developing a substitute. However, Gillespie borate, a product produced by Hammill & Gillespie of New Jersey, has proven to be a reliable one-for-one substitute. In many instances it is difficult to arrive at such a close match, as many raw materials are not mineralogically pure when removed from the earth. Any potential substitute has to match on many points and produce the same results in fired glazes. Hammill & Gillespie showcased Gillespie borate at the NCECA Conference in Tampa this year. Free samples and information on clay and glaze formulas were available for potters and manufacturers alike. If you missed the show and have a question on raw materials or would like to obtain a sample of Gillespie borate, contact Hammill & Gillispie (see Company Directory).
Feldspar
According to the US Dept. of the Interiors US Geological Survey (USGS) Minerals Commodity Summaries 2011 publication, glass, including beverage containers and insulation for
Materials for the studio potter come from sources all over the world. Supply is determined by industrial demand, politics, and environmental concerns, where a change in any of these can impact the ceramic artist.
housing and building construction, continued to be the leading end use of feldspar in the United States. Domestic feldspar consumption has been shifting from ceramics toward glass markets. Feldspar use in tile and sanitary ware continued to be sluggish because of the struggling housing market. Identified and hypothetical resources of feldspar are more than adequate to meet anticipated world demand. Ample geologic evidence indicates that resources are large, although not always conveniently accessible. Imported nepheline syenite was the major alternative material. Feldspar also can be replaced in some of its end uses by clays, feldspar-silica mixtures, pyrophyllite, spodumene, or talc.
Praseodymium
The USGS survey reports that Chinas dominant position as the producer of over 95 percent of the world output of rare-earth minerals and rapid increases in the consumption of rare earths owing to the emergence of new clean-energy and defense-related technologies, combined with Chinas decisions to restrict exports of rare earths, have resulted in heightened concerns about their future availability. As a result, industrial countries such as Japan, the US, and countries of the European Union face tighter supplies and higher prices for rare earths. Of the 15 lanthanide elements, praseodymium is probably the most significant to ceramic artists because it is used as the primary source for yellow glaze stains.
Clays
Six types of clays are mined in the US: ball clay, bentonite, common clay, fire clay, fullers earth, and kaolin. Mineral composition, plasticity, color, absorption qualities, firing characteristics, and clarification properties are a few of the characteristics used
to distinguish between the different clay types. Major domestic markets for these clays are as follows: sanitaryware and ceramic tile for ball clays; absorbents, drilling mud, foundry sand bonding agent, and iron ore pelletizing for bentonite; brick, lightweight aggregate, and portland cement clinker for common clay and shale; refractories for fire clay; absorbents for fullers earth; and paper and refractory markets for kaolin. In 2010, according to the USGS survey, clay production was reported in 39 states where about 180 companies operated approximately 820 clay pits or quarries. The leading 20 firms supplied about 50% of the tonnage and 80% of the value for all types of clay sold or used in the US. In 2010, sales or use was estimated to be 27 million tons valued at $1.5 billion. Major uses for specific clays were estimated to be as follows: ball clay36% floor and wall tile, 22% sanitaryware, and 42% other uses; bentonite25% absorbents, 19% drilling mud, 17% foundry sand bond, 12% iron ore pelletizing, and 27% other uses; common clay50% brick, 25% lightweight aggregate, 16% cement, and 9% other uses; fire clay38% heavy clay products, 62% refractory products and other uses; fullers earth74% absorbent uses and 26% other uses; and kaolin58% paper and 42% other uses. Many markets for clays improved in 2010 as the US economy began to recover from the recession that began in 2008. A slight improvement in commercial and private housing construction resulted in increased sales of ball clay and common clay. Bentonite sales increased with greater demand from the oil drilling, foundry, and iron ore industries. Kaolin production improved because of a slight recovery in world paper markets and greater construction activity. Fullers earth and kaolin sales increased mainly on the strength of increased exports.
