Pottery Supplies
About Us The Ceramic Shop was started by ceramic artist and educator Mark Lueders. As a teacher at The University of Pennsylvania, 1994-2005, Mark was a driving force in the introduction of ceramics into the university's curriculum. As enrollment grew, the classes thrived, and drew both new and returning students alike. In 1999, combined with his interest in ceramics and design, Mark invented the Hydro-Bat, the fast drying, durable bats used to make removing work from the wheel more efficient. In 2001 the Hydro-Bat business out grew its original location and moved to a larger facility in the Port Richmond section of Philadelphia. Wanting not only a venue for distributing his products, but to also fill the void for a much needed ceramic supply store in the Philadelphia area, The Ceramic Shop was born. The Ceramic Shop has over 8,000 items online with more being added daily. Most major ceramics manufacturer’s products can be found online and in our 3500 sq. ft. showroom. We have a fantastic relationship with all the major kiln and equipment manufacturers and are proud to say, our showroom has the largest display of kilns and wheels on the East Coast. We take pride in our knowledge of the products we sell and have been servicing our customers with kiln repair and inspections since day one. We are a top reseller for Skutt, L&L, and Paragon kilns not just because our prices are the best in the country, but because we back up every sale with quality technical support. Today The Ceramic Shop manufactures over 250 of its own products including bats, glazes, stilts, posts, calipers, wax resists, chemical tables, and a variety of hump and slump molds. This catalog highlights those products. The Ceramic Shop believes that by providing high quality supplies and promoting an innovative approach to art making, any artist, from the seasoned professional to the weekend hobbyist can attain their goals. We thank you for your support and look forward to the future. Mark Lueders Owner

Resist
Mr. Mark's Removable Wax Off Resist was created for potters and decorative artists. It is designed to be painted on like regular wax, but can easily be peeled away. The removal is simple and can be done in a short period of time. This allows for endless possibilities in design as well as layering. Our Wax Off Resist dries in 5-10 minutes depending on how thick you put it on. It dries darker than it appears when wet (so you know when it's ready). It can even be applied to spots on your bisque ware that have already been dipped in glaze.
Mr. Mark's No Drip Wax On Resist was designed to do just that, NOT DRIP. A special hardner sets the wax fast and eliminates dripping and tacky surfaces. This is an ideal wax for classrooms as you will be getting more wax on the students’ work than on the tables. Wax On dries in a fraction of the time your current wax does and will not settle in the bottle. This wax flows like no other and dries a dark purple so you can easily see your waxed areas.
Mr. Mark’s Wacky Wax is a colored wax resist that can be applied to bisqueware or on top of glaze. When fired, it leaves behind a unique glazed surface. Now glazing and waxing techniques are combined in one bottle. 8 Colors available, comes with squeeze top lids.

Glazes - We take pride in the careful attention and creativity that has gone into formulating each individual glaze recipe. Our expert glaze technicians have tested, tweaked and perfected our glazes continually over the years to account for the inevitable changes that occur in the chemical compositions of mined materials. As a result, The Ceramic Shop glazes produce brilliant colors and unique effects with consistency. The Ceramic Shop currently manufactures two Cone 6 glazes lines, as well as a Low-Fire series. The Pro Series Cone 6 Glazes were developed to emulate the rustic and unique surface effects that result from gas firing techniques.The Casual Tints Cone 6 Series is a line of translucent glazes that can be thought of as subtle celadons. Our 1Fire glazes (cone 06) can be applied to greenware or bisqueware and fired once. These semi-translucent glazes are available in 15 bright colors. The Ceramic Shop’s glazes are available in wet and dry formats and are suitable for dipping, spraying and brushing, although we recommend adding brushing medium in some cases. Our glazes are lead-free, non-toxic and conform to ASTDM 4236 standards. The Ceramic Shop’s glazes have been used in schools, community centers and private studios with success for over ten years.

Top Sellers Tips and pointers
We at The Ceramic Shop know that glazing can be more challenging than actually making your work. After years of using our own glazes and helping many customers trouble shoot, we have learned so much about our glazes. Hopefully, the following tips will help you achieve the results you are looking for. 1
2
1 Crocus Red and Powder Blue work well together. They interact to create a pale carmel color provided your application is not to thick. Crocus Red tends to be more red on darker bodies. With a thick application, Powder Blue can become a soft pale shade on white bodies. On darker clay, as shown here, a thin application 1 results in a beautifully rich glaze. 2 Magic is an application sensitive glaze, meaning depending on how thick you put it on you can get very different results. Colors can range from tan to orange to hazlenut. The plate shown here has our Classic Clear dripped on top which created a blue hue. Use this glaze on a piece with texture and you will love it. 3 Electric Wood Ash has a quality you just can’t find in standard glazes. Note here it is shown on porcelain. This and our green ash look best on porcelain bodies. Instead of a smooth eating surface, try using a wooden texture rib in the center of your forms to shake it up a bit.This plate was sprayed and the back side left bare.
4 3
4 Jewelry is a favorite of many functional potters because it is consistent and almost always glows aqua blue. When applied thin or on porcelain you will get transparent greens. 5 We love a glaze that gives you options. Tidal Pool thin will show off in a darker green and as it gets thicker it will brighten and go more blue. Flecking can occur in this glaze, so consider using it on a speckled body for nice results. Leave a bunch of glaze in the bottom of your bowl and let it pool. Try also dipping your rims twice to give your piece that oozing over the edge look. 6 Golden Tan is a hardy matt glaze and loves other glazes on top. Shown here with a cobalt and iron wash and our Cranberry glaze trailed on. 7 Astral Blue looks good on almost everything. The actual shade of blue can change according to your clay body, shown here on a bright white stoneware. Try spraying glaze through a hand held atomizer for a unique and surprisingly even coat.

8 This slab built bowl was pressed over our 16� hump mold. Try combining slab techniques and the wheel for new form ideas. Two coats of Green Patina hid most of the texture work on this form, but applied thinner and this glaze goes black. This and Black Orbit are our favorites for sculptural objects. Both are very dry matte glazes and not suited for everyday functional wares. Try glazing the outside with these and lining your work with a high glass content glaze like our Casual Tint Series.

Low Fire Glaze Series, cone 06 Our line of low fire glazes are ideal for the busy classroom, production potter and large scale projects.They perform best when dipped however these glazes come out great painted, glaze trailed or even sprayed. But what makes them really unique is how good they look when applied to un-fired clay and slowly fired once. Shown below is a large scale mural project completed for Philadelphia’s Public Transportaion Authority, SEPTA. Permanently installed at 65th and Market St. Over 2000 handmade tiles were created based on Artist, Ed Hughes’ winning design. Cost and time restraints forced The Ceramic Shop’s low fire glazes to be applied to the bone dry work and once fired. Our Real Clear was used over Amaco’s Velvet Underglazes with beautiful results. The glazes layer nicely over each other and are available in the classic colors everyone needs. So if you are doing a large scale project or maybe a school mural our 1Fire glazes will be a smart choice and save you a bundle, when buying in gallon sizes or in dry quantities. Item #

Wedging Table & Recycle Slabs
This product was designed for the Conestoga High School Ceramics program. It needed to be heavy duty and handle volumes of wedging and act as a recycling slab. A Hydro-Stone / Plaster blend is cast into a steel frame, assuring a long lasting smooth surface. The top surface of the wedging table frame is made of a steel mesh material that will allow the water to wick out of the slab faster and without the chance of mold developing. Standard frame color is grey. The slab can be sold separately. If used for wedging, the table must be installed up against a sturdy wall and is not meant for the middle of the room. KEY FEATURES:

These products are also ideal for stilting wet greenware to aid in even drying before the bisque firing. We even use them to stilt our Hydro-Bats for even drying. (Stilts shown above are DP8.)
Ideal for small heavy work. Other sizes available. (Spurs are shown at actual size.) Item #

A Designed by artist and owner of The Ceramic Shop, Mark Lueders, The Hydro-bat is made of Hydro-Stone, a gypsum cement nearly ten times stronger than conventional pottery plaster. The Hydro-Bat eliminates the need for wiring off your work by absorbing moisture out of the bottom of your thrown form. Hard rubber grommets cast into the underside of the bat will not swell or change shape.
A Bats These bats are designed to fit snuggly on the standard bat pin head which is 3/8" wide. Sizes 12.5" through 28" fit on wheel heads with pins spaced 10" apart. Only the smaller sized bats (6",8.5",&10") require an adapter. Item #

Use as a handbuilding surface instead of covering your entire table in canvas. It cleans easily at the sink and is portable enough to take anywhere. The canvas side holds up to sharp knives and is great in a slab roller for creating a smooth surface. Use the rubber side for glazing or any job that needs to be wiped up easily. Parents and children love the way the uWedge mat protects dinning tables and carpets from modeling clay, glue, and other sticky crafts. Professional clay artists love the canvas side for slab building, coil building and oh yeah, you can wedge on it. Item # UWWM2030
