Dear fellow potters, I just purchased and installed a three zone controller for my kiln. I would like to warn anyone who is considering doing this. I am generally satisfied with the controller itself, and the company provided me with responsive and competent technical support. But they did not...

We recently purchased an art deco vase that has a stamp on the bottom that reads only "Nippa, KY.". Does anyone have any information on the name of the company that produced or used this mark? Thanks

I have a Gress Electric kiln (B 34 H I think is the model number). My mother passed away and I don't know much about the thing and I dont do crafts. I wanted to know what it was worth because its just taking up space in my garage and non of my family members are interested. My apologies if this...

I know we're not too active here but i'd be interested in your definition of food safe and how you determine if a glaze or particular piece of pottery is food safe. Anyone reading this in the next month or so feel free to chime in. Thanks, Elaine

Does anyone know how I can identify a mug that I have found on a river bank in Southern France. It is very basic in design, currently marked because of it's recent association with chalks/silts etc from the river. It seems to have a raised 3d image of a French military subject (possibly...

I want to build a Pottery Kiln out of a 45 gallon oil drum. What can I use as cheap thermal insulation?

Hi folks! Up until now, I have been recycling my clay manually, but this is holding me back when it comes to doing repetitive exercises on my wheel, as I think about all that clay I will then have to moosh and dry and wet and dry and knead. We have spent quite a bit on equipment for the workshop...

The commercial clay menders may be applied to dry greenware and don't crack while they (menders) are drying. I want to paint slip all over a piece to smooth it out more, but the piece is dry. I've heard that if you mix vinegar with the slip, it behaves similarly to a clay mender. Does anyone...
