The materials I use come from the DMU ceramic workshop. The technicians who work there download their materials from "Valentines Clay". The ceramic mass is called "Buff Stoneware" and is baked at a temperature of 1260°C. Its total weight after baking decreases by 9%, which is worth keeping in mind if we want to create something with specific dimensions. If any waste remains while students create their work, it is reused. There are specially described baskets for this purpose. So, everything is recycled for reuse.
Underglaze is available in several colours. If anyone needs a colour that is not available, it can be purchased at the ArtGalleryShop, which is located in the academic building. Below, it shows the colours I used. As you can see, they have pieces of pottery attached, which are already fired and glazed. This is done to show how the colour behaves when one, two or three layers are applied to the ceramic mass.
