Orchard Valley Ceramic Arts Guild

Orchard Valley Ceramic Arts Guild

The Orchard Valley Ceramic Arts Guild is a non-profit group of potters that fosters a creative, innovative and supportive environment for the education of students, professionals and the public in the ceramic arts.

In 2000 a group of seven potters from the Sunnyvale Parks and Recreation ceramic studio met to brainstorm on the idea of creating a pottery guild. The results of that first meeting was an ambitious plan that covered every aspect of their common vision - a non-profit guild supporting local clay artists.

Today there are over 150 members including clay artists, corporate sponsors, students and patrons. The Orchard Valley Ceramic Arts Guild presents many workshops throughout the year as well as an annual sale of guild member work. The public is encouraged and welcome to attend. All potters as well as those who are simply interested in developing an appreciation for the ceramic arts are always welcome.

The Guild is a California non-profit, 501(c)3 corporation.

    Could this be used with plaster of Paris so you don’t need to use a kiln?

    Could this be used for plaster of Paris so you don’t have to have a piece that née to be put in a kiln? Make a square of plaster and let it harden. Then do your slip trailing with more plaster on top of your piece.

    Your thumb is going to run into the clay because it’s going counterclockwise. You need to be careful when doing that.

    Thank you, Scott, for this really interesting demo. I am a hand builder at heart, though I am trying to keep at least a basic ability to throw on the wheel. The vast majority of pottery videos on KZread are wheel throwing, as I’m sure you know. So I am particularly pleased to see this whole new direction for hand builders. Bravo! 👍🤓

    With really soft clay, water works fine. For leather-hard pieces, a vinegar slip works best because it does NOT puff out the clay in the slip, so you avoid cracks at joints when drying.

    Very good video. I have a pot I bought a few years ago made by Manuel Mora Tena. Any relation?? My pot is signed on the bottom and is one of my "ceramic treasures" Mata Ortiz is amazing stuff. I've been a potter for over 50 years and had the pleasure of meeting Juan Quezada in 1980, when he came to our area to do a demo....

    Hey, spend the money and use something like Everclear from the liquor store (unless you have moonshine making pals). 30 yrs ago after my first raku experiment with rubbing alcohol I didn't like the idea of breathing in the fumes. Next time I wanted to try the liquid combustible I bought the cheapest high proof liquor they had and used it. Hey. you don't have to use that much, and your lungs will thank you.

    As a gardener and potter I really enjoyed this video, however that hole was WAY too big for this pot. You would lose a lot of water out of the pot FAST!!

  • @streetsmartrealestateinves8523

    Your right. And... big pots fire better and crack less with a big hole. The trick is to put a screen over the hole and gravel at the bottom of the pot when it comes time to plant.
