"Throwing” entails molding day into pots through use of a pot ter’s wheel. The “clay extravagenza” was held front of Rudder Tower. It was the second in a series of Brown Bag Seminars sponsored by the Crafts and Arts Committee. “We held >ur program outside because a lot of people aren’t aware oi the Craft Shop facilities,” said Chip DeMois, chairman of the Crafts and Arts Committee. “This is our committee’s attempt to bring crafts out of the basement of the MSC (Memorial Student Center) and provide interested students with an opportunity to ged in volved.” It s called a Brown Bag Seminar because we want people to come when they have spare time which is usually during lunch,” said Susie Greer, a freshman member of the committee. Joan Moore, an Industrial Educa tion teacher for Texas A&M Univer sity and faculty advisor for the committee, helped organize the Program. Throwing clay is a way of creat- h'g something quickly because it s anorganic earth material that an ar tist can completely control, said Moore. “We’re just showing the very beginning stage of wheel work because we don t have enough time o demonstrate trimming, liisquing mid glazing.” ■ said it tk her longer to earn how to throw clay because she was self-taught. “I know everything vou shouldn’t do,” she added. nristopher McCarthy from the eaeeable Kingdom crafts commu- mty near Navasota and teacher at e Crafts Shop for the past two years, demonstrated a quick firing technique called Baku. ts a very exciting way to fire a Piece of pottery because it shows J* dynamics of fire,” said McCar- A Baku kiln is ignited using pro- ^ ane 8 as - A piece of pottery is heS’r the , OVen usin S king tongs, cl for about 30 minutes and emoved while it is stil glowing ‘'Kht red. The pottery is then placed in a trash can full of paper and sawdust for 15 minutes where oxidization occurs. After being removed from the trash can, the pottery is cooled, cleaned with an abrasive cleaner and sold. “Handbuilding is easier to learn because it’s an earlier form of work ing with clay. I like it better than throwing because it s more unusual and I can he more creative, said Hillary Loring, who makes her liv ing by selling her handbuilt items. Handbuilding can be bisqued, a type of firing done slowly, or it can be rakued, but either way it isn’t waterproof or breakproof. Glazed handbuilt items are popular in the Orient because they’re used in elaborate tea ceremonies, said Lor ing. Loring learned to handhuild clay items after dislocating her elbow because she didn't have enough arm strengh to continue using the pot ter s wheel. It takes her about 30 minutes to make a bowl or a hanging planter. Other demonstrations included hand carving on fine porcelain and a firing demonstration using horse manure. The next Brown Bag Seminar will be held November 9. “We will have as many different types of crafts people as we can get out here, said DeMois. 1 Rolls bought at $146,125 by millionaire United Press International LONDON — The world’s most expensive new private car, a gold- plated Rolls Royce Phantom VI Landaulette, awaits pickup by its millionaire buyer — an Arab busi nessman. Bhatia Karani of the tiny sheik dom of Dubai on the Persian Gulf, paid $146,125 for the velvet- upholstered, air-conditioned, green and white limousine that gets only about 10 miles per gallon. “It has everything except bullet proof bodywork,” said Victor Barclay, director of the London Rolls Royce distributorship that made the sale. Karani’s Phantom VI is similar to one now being completed as a Silver Jubilee gift from the British motor industry to Queen Elizabeth II. Karani’s includes almost every possible option. The Queen’s will have fewer frills and he about $34, (XX) cheaper. “It is the first time we have supplied a Phantom VI with virtually every option,’’ Barclay said. It has $6,800 worth of gold plating alone — including a flying lady hood ornament that has its own burglar alarm and took 60 men one year to build. In the passenger section, which has a convertible top, there is an 11-inch television set — black and white — a cocktail bar, an intercom system and a special stereo-radio cabinet. One of Karani’s London associates said, “Cars are his hobby.” The price tag is not bad, consider ing Rolls Royce makes only one Phantom VI each vear. Tlie most expensive car in the world is believed to be the bullet proof limousines used by U.S. pres idents — thought to cost about $400,000.
