"Copper Red Glazes" book by
Bob Masta
Just got some pottery books from Edward R. Hamilton
(www.hamiltonbook.com), including "Copper Red Glazes"
by Robert Tichane for only US$4.95. This is a pretty
amazing book, since it looks like Tichane has spent a
*lot* of time experimenting with these glazes and is
graciously sharing his results. ...

Pottery vendor JRA6004 by
DigitalVinyl
Bought a piece of pottery from a furniture store. Like most furniture
stores they had no information on the vendor cause they can't order
any accessories. Designers just come and drop single items on the
floor. My sales person hasn't returned with info yet.
I have been trying to find the vendor...

Is it microwavable? by
Red Deer
Hi Everyone,
Often I use a speckled clay (Standard 112) which I fire to cone 6.
Recently another potter said it was not microwavable due to the
manganese content which makes the speckles. I was wondering if anyone
else knows this to be true.
Thank you for your help,
Sandi

A customer brought a blue/green ceramic or earthenware Christmas Tree
Stand into my consignment store today. He contends that is a Red Wing

Paragon B88B by
james
I just bought a Paragon B88B Kiln. I was hoping to use it to fire
Pottery, but based on the limited information I have found on the 'net,
it seems to be more suited to "greenware", whatever that is. Can
someone tell me what I can expect to use this Kiln for?
Thanks

Disposing of Glazes by
anna
I mix my own glazes from dry ingredients, and therefore often have
small test batches that just don't work out. My question is what is
the proper way to dispose of these glazes? My first instinct is to let
them dry out and just toss them in the garbage, but there has got to be
a better...

I'm about to dive into single firing. The only issue I see is

borax by
Red Deer
Hi Everyone,
When a glaze recipe calls for borax, is that the same thing as what I
can get at the grocery store called 20 mule team borax in the laundry
department?
Thank you for any help you can give me,

Hullo,
I have just got myself a second hand kiln and it came with a few boxes
of glazes. Quite a few of these glazes are completely dried out. Is it
possible to rehydrate them?

craft or fine art or what? by
Susie
I don't know if I'm going to open up a hornets' nest - whether it be
craftily or in a fine art style. Please, where does the line - if
indeed there is one - come between the two?
This afternoon I was told that my work drops firmly into the craft
category, yet in the past it's been accepted...

Blue ceramics by
Jake Loddington
No: not cobalt.
Some while ago, I saw a photograph of a porcelain vase with a blue
shadowgram image. I assumed that this was a cyanotype image (the father
of the engineers' blueprint), and was therefore unfired.
I read up about this antique photographic process, which pre-dated even...

donut method by
Mandy Farrier Mejia
I have been trying to use the donut method for attaching a bat for
making plates, but my bats always slide very easily when I start
centering, no matter how hard I push the bat onto the donuts. Does
anyone have any tips for getting them to stay in place?
Thanks,
Mandy
