Fart of Brown Bag seminar
Students "throw" clay
By BEVERLY MANJEOT
Students wealing clay-coated cloth
ing tried their hand at “throwing
pottery' for the first time yesterday
while professional artists demon
strated their skilled pottery tech
niques. "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 t<x>k 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.

probably noticed how the sound of
your records seems to deteriorate.

result of hard stylus tracking softer
vinyl grooves.

sound of your records with Sound Guard " record preservative,
preservative puts on a microscopically-thin, dry film to help

Blue Maguey cactus hearts ripe and ready for distilling at Tequila Cuervo's La Rojena plant.
Since 1795 Cuervo Gold
has been made in only one way.
And in only one place.
In Tequila. Where the pampered Blue Maguey plant still
flourishes amidst the rich, volcanic soil and perfect climate
as it has since 1795.
Where over 182 years of tradition is still a way of life.
This is what makes Cuervo Gold special. Versatile and
adaptable. Neat, on the rocks, ivith a splash of soda, in a
perfect Sunrise or Margarita, Cuervo Gold will bring you
back to a time when quality ruled the world.
