Hand Painted Pottery

The pottery reproductions are of ancient designs and frescos on the vase of daily life in Rome in the old days. I had found the shop near the Vatican selling various religious artifacts along with the pottery about five years ago but want to see if I can get more or someone knows of a similar place?

I went into this store when I was in Rome last May. And it sounds like the one you remember. I think I have found its web-site for you.. http://members.virtualtourist.com/m/ac69f/4bb/c/

My family has been to several places to "do your own pottery/ ceramics" and they fire them for you. (In much larger cities) Our size is maybe 12,000 pop. My goal is to open something similar to this yet allow different classes to be taught also. Ex: painting, scrapbooking, batiking, sewing, sculpture, stainglass…any mediums people (children and teenagers also) would be intrested in. A place for all ages (allow kids to have b-day parties!) Also giving teens a place to hang & show their talents. Of course the art mind has no sense of the business mind. I clearly need advice on how this could be started and where to look for financing . It would be a great opportunity for this small town in TX w/nada. Allowing families and kids to do something unique. I have many ideas and themes found by talking to others. I feel that placing some of the profits with local and international charities would be a good way to give back. (Hab 4 Hum, YoungLife, Compassion I.) Just need a place to start.

wHEN MY WIFE AND i OPENED OUR SHOP,QUITE SOME TIME AGO, iT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO GET it GOING. Most people have no idea what they wanna make, and it usually boils down to a CUP with their name on it….don't ask me why. You will need a lot of very simple things for people to start on or they will get discouraged and not come back. Have a sample of at least one, of everything in soft ware for them to see. You will need two or three kilns,different sizes. We used an old washing mashine to mix our slip. I have a set of Whiskey Decanters that were samples, and have been offered $200.00 for it.

I'm writing a paper on a terracota vase made in ancient Greece. Does anyone know how they made pottery then? Did they just hold it over fire to heat it ?

The pots were buried in the ashes of a fire. Some potters still use this method today for authenticity.
