NEW POTTERY SURFACE EFFECTS, BY USING RECYCLED INDUSTRIAL WASTES AND WITH ONLY ONE BURN

This research aims to have new and special visualizations on pottery surfaces by using non-organic materials of industrial wastes as ? iron fillings, copper fillings, broken glass pieces, wires?.etc. ?and recycling it by adding it on a surface of clay slab prepared for the purpose, as this clay is characterised by high mechanical strength and other physical properties as being unshrinkable during drought and burning, showing no cracks or flows as a result of firing the nonorganic industrial wastes on the surface of the clay, and after drought , the slab is burnt once after adding transparent glaze , the aesthetic effect produced on that surface is being followed then collecting results, evaluate it and explaining observations. 1. Experiments have been made on some slabs made of that prepared clay, as the clay?s surface is being treated by using different materials and slabs are burnt on a variety of temperatures (950-1050) C. And results showed new and different appearances for the surface. 2. This research is considered as a descriptive experimental research. 3. This research aids having new aesthetic aspects, with new and different style, it also considers the economical value of the product through a single burn, beside recycling nonorganic materials.
