I am interested in the techniques used to put grains of rice into the walls of porcelain bowls. Are the bowls thrown or slip cast? At which stage of the procedure is the rice inserted? Must the wall be as thin as the rice is thick so that it is exposed on both sides?

My week started off normal... made my clay order from one of my two usual suppliers but chose to order 1000 pounds from great lakes clay co. They say they can get you a freight order in 3 days and make special arrangements so it doesn't show up frozen(problem in north midwest winter) SO ANYWAY...

Dear Reader, Apologies if this is the wrong place to Advertise.

They're all over the place, of course, and have dozens of characteristics and quirks. I remember two things (From how long ago I will not mention!): 1. A MASSIVE foot powered wheel that seemed to hold momentum forever. No power required except the legs. Are these antiques, (or at the very...

Try going to www.digitalfire.com They have an excellent substitution listing. Personally, I would stay as far away from that glaze as I could. You don't mention what cone you are firing to, but considering the toxicity of the two items (barium and lithium) perhaps you would be better off using a...

Hi Everyone, I've been invited to sell my pots at a wine festival in June. I make stoneware pots but I wanted to make some wine cooler pots for this event and I was wondering if stoneware will work as a wine cooler. All my glazes are cone 6. If I just bisque them, will that work? I want to at...

I am looking for a used kiln. I have tried News Ads and here. Any Ideas on where to look?

Is there a general rule about what temp (cone) to fire to the bisque stage? For example, is it usually one cone under what you would use for glaze? I have some clay that is Cone 5 and it seems I read that you fire at a lower cone for bisque than when you glaze. Thanks for answering all my ultra...

I am just a newbie in clay and throwing-- just got my own wheel after taking some private lessons. My question: how can I rig up something at home for kneading the clay? I mean, should I glue some canvas to an old table, or use a staple gun to snugly attach canvas to the top of an old table, to...

Hi, all. I recently aquired a skutt 1227, but it is 3-phase 208 at 31 Amps. For those who don't know, 3-phase is 208 volt times 3, and the skutt 1227 has 3 sections, so each section could draw 31 amps. Naturally, I am in a residential area, so I only have access to single- phase 230 volt at...

Dear all, I was fortunate enough to have been at a school in the UK with an active ceramics teacher, some wheels and two kilns, and got bitten by the bug. Unfortunately, everything was a little too pre-chewed, meaning that I never had to collect and prepare clay and oxides or mix my own...
