Lighthouses Ceramic
lighthouses ceramic
Could there be a consequence to my accidental overglazing on my ceramics project?
In ceramics, we had to make a plaque with a pop-out landscape on it; I did a lighthouse with hills and the ocean. I was using underglaze for color because it is less likely to spread and also the selection of underglaze is better than normal glazes at my school. I realized after a while that the reason why it was taking such a long time to glaze was because I had accidentally put three coats rather than one on my project!! Could this end up being very bad, or is it just that three coats isn't NEEDED? If there is going to be an issue, how should I approach fixing it?
hahahahaha actually my teacher knows i am very grade oriented and she isn't truly sure about the glazing...she probably won't end up caring, but I just wanted to make sure my project won't do something crazy such as exploding for some chemical reason or something dumb like that. So no, I probably won't end up showing her this haha thanks though.
did you apply the underglaze to greenware or bisqueware? if the piece was bisque fired before you applied the underglaze, you can wash them off, but...check the labels on your underglaze jars. i use amaco underglazes and they require 3 coats. using less will give you a less intense color, and uneven results.

Unique Sydney: the Magic of Manly
In such a city of icons it's easy to spend all your time visiting the world famous landmarks of the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge, shopping in King Street, partying in Sydney's famous Paddington and broiling on Bondi Beach. But to truly know this great city you have to drag yourself away from the glory of the harbour and pizzazz of the shopping centres and visit some quieter and less-visited spots. Here's a look at the historic suburb of Manly.
Catch the ferry from Circular Quay seven nautical miles north to the seaside suburb of Manly and visit its beach, art gallery and Oceanworld, which houses an array of local aquatic fauna including Barrier Reef fish and giant sharks.
The 30-minute ferry journey offers grand views of Sydney Harbour en route to Manly Wharf, Manley Cove's spanking new wining and dining oasis. The suburb's name was given by Captain Arthur Phillip after meeting the local Aborigines whom he considered of masculine mien.
Manly has lost some of its old cachet. In 1940 the slogan, 'Manly – 7 Miles from Sydney and 1000 miles from care' was coined by the Port Jackson & Manly Steamship Company in 1940. It then had the lofty status of "Australia’s Premier Seaside Resort”. But it’s still got a lot to offer.
Thrusting out into the ocean, Manly offers 18 beaches, coves and inlets as well as its harbour. It's the perfect place for beach volleyball, swimming, sea-kayaking, scuba-diving, sailing and surfing.
Other than sunbathing and water sports, Manly is famous for its Oceanworld on Manly Cove Beach which offers a collection of giant sharks and stingrays which can be viewed from an underwater tunnel. If you're feeling bold and are an experienced diver, you can dive with the sharks. Or for meeker souls, there's shark feeding on certain days. There's also a reptile house for viewing snakes, crocs and other slitheries.
Next to Oceanworld on the West Esplanade, a few minutes walk from Manly Wharf, is Manly Art gallery and Museum. When it opened in 1930, it was the first metropolitan regional gallery in New South Wales.
It's a tiny place but packed with exhibits about local history and culture including old photos and newspapers and a collection of ceramics. It's a centre for the Manly community with frequent workshops, artists' talks, readings, performances and recitals. It also plays a key role in the annual Manly Arts Festival and Manly's public art program.
Manly is a great jumping off point for the Manly scenic walk which takes you through Sydney Harbour National Park. Here you walk through bush with stunning sea views to deserted beaches, bays and coves. To start the walk you need to take a bus to the Spit Bridge. The walk takes you to an old whitewashed lighthouse with ancient Aboriginal rock carvings nearby. The walkway finishes in Manly Cove near Oceanworld.
If you need sustenance, you'll find Manly offers a host of bars, cafes and restaurants and a few nightspots if you're not tired out by your scenic walk.
So for a wonderful day out and a rare glimpse into unique Sydney, head over to Manly for the day. From one of Sidney City hotels it is easy to travel to Manly for a few hours.
