konstantin on sun 26 nov 06


Is there anyone on clayart fluent with pottery terminology who would be
willing to translate a list of words commonly used in a pottery studio?
I teach pottery and art in a high school and, as an experiment, I want
to teach the pottery class in Spanish only.I do speak Spanish but I am
not familiar with pottery terminology.
Please contact me back channel.
Thank you, Konstantin

Meli Estrada has a Spanish pottery glossary and Spanish English dictionary:

(And makes great work)

Multilingual Dictionary of Pottery Words - English/Spanish
http://www.dinoclay.com/info/dict/mdpwensp.html
(by Robert Wilt and Ron Duncan)

Potters for Peace has a fairly good list: http://www.potpaz.org/pfpvocab.htm

Here's a limited Spanish English Spanish glossary from the Study Group for
Roman Pottery: http://www.sgrp.org/Jrps/Vol01/Pages%2058-79/page%2068.htm

Webster's Online Dictionary with Multilingual Thesaurus Translation:
http://www.websters-online-dictionary.org/
(For single word translation of pottery terms into a number of languages)

I am certain that the better one's knowledge of how Spanish works, the
better one can select the most acceptable translation in the Webster's
dictionary. IE: One could try "fired" "baked" or "cooked" and get
different Spanish words.

This is my first clayart in more than 3 weeks so I may have missed some
replies to my question.
I want to thank those who e mailed me privately and those who posted on
clayart.
Comcast was indeed blocking clayat's messages and I had to request that
they remove the block. They did and now all is well.

Not sure if my previous post (sent privately) was received, so I will send it
here.
U of Jaime in Castellon, Spain has a Ceramics Dept, offering degrees in
Industrial Ceramics and Technology. Check them on the web. There are several
people who speak English in the department and you could email them for a possible
catalog, etc and for general information/ translation. They are very
accommodating. Just google University of Jaime, Castellon, Spain...should bring it
right up.
Hope this helps.
