Elric
Hello.
I'm taking a Beginner Wheel Throwing Class at a local studio, but it
turns out I'm the only beginner there, and after about 15 minutes of

everyone made 3 or 4 bowls apiece, and I could barely get the clay to
center on the...

Beginning glazes? by
Sam
I am dissatisfied with the results I am getting from "Duncan" glazes as
far as blending colors in their underglaze products. I suspect that to get

should I start?

Does anyone know of a source for large sized fat or chunky wooden or plastic pottery ribs, not ones that are 1/8" to 1/4" in size, but much thicker? I need something like this for finishing the inside of bowls. Any leads would be appreciated! Thanks!
