Abstract

Based on the demands of her upcoming thesis project, Studio Arts major Thea Keene delves into the reasoning and technicalities of her research in clay bodies. Keene explains the dilemma caused by the range of firing temperatures for different types of clay, and how it influences the decision to experiment with new ones. Her research includes the tedious process of mixing and curing the clay, and a bit on the physics of throwing on the wheel. After testing three low-fire clay mixtures, Keene ultimately decides to use an earthenware terracotta for its color and maneuverability on the wheel.
