Ceramics Monthly, Pac-Man Sponge, 2018I saw my first cut sponge in a friend’s kitchen next to their sink. The sponge was cut and propped up vertically, which allowed it to dry evenly. I thought about all of my students’ lost sponges and the countless sponge parts that I had found when cleaning out the pug mill. Soon after, I started cutting my throwing sponge so that I could place it over the rim of my throwing bucket to keep it from getting lost in the slop.

Ceramics Monthly, October 2016, p. 102by Forrest Sincoff Gard with Jeni Hansen Gard
"Drilling through ceramics is actually not as hard as one might think. I’m talking about the task of course and not the actual material. It’s a matter of having the right tools and a little patience. I will say though, if you are creating something out of clay and you know you want a hole in it, the best thing to do is to make the hole in the leather- hard stage. However if you decide later on that you need a hole and the piece has already been red and glazed, then the following instructions will be very helpful for the process." |
