After reading lots and lots about the many s-r s out there, I've narrowed my pics to Northstar vs Bailey -- 24", standard models. Can't find any real user notes about the Northstar with its nylon gears. This equipment will not be my main worker and I'm not going into great production, so the...

Could anyone give me an estimate of a reasonable price to charge for a year old Creative Industries wheel? I'm a student potter, so am not using it even half time, nor for really heavy work (above 7lbs of clay centered). Kathy Fields

I've received 5# of apparently cone 5 white stoneware. There are 3 kilns available around here. One firing at around 04; another set are usually at cone 10 with the third being Raku. The cone 10 kilns are good size to large college class kilns. The bottom line being no access to real cone 5. ...

I have stacked dinner plates four high. The foot rings are largely the same size. Am I likely to regret my economic stacking, or can I get away with it? Thanks Steve.

Get some Soft Soap (also known as Mould Maker's Size), and using a soft brush and a little water, work up a...

In the past I have solved a bloating problem in a clay with a high red clay content by replacing some of it with ball clay and iron oxide...

Hi, Does anyone know of a newsgroup dedicated strickly to ceramics and not pottery? Thanks, Steve

i thought i could fill up some areas in my kiln with granite rocks to help distribute heat around several larger bowls. i didn't have extra pots for this and was using up all my kiln posts. a "full" kiln usually does a better job firing with stronger colors. the rocks melted! i guess granite...
