Advice needed on waterproofing by Bhangra Muffin
Hi I recently bought a large terracotta pot, glazed on the outside but not the inside, to use as a water feature. It looks great but sadly it is "sweating" water through the glaze. It is not losing a large amount of water but I'd like it to stop. What is the best way to achieve this, keeping in...

magnesium carbonate ( light). by Biddy
I am looking for a source of magnesium carbonate (light). It is not sold in the UK anymore as it is a health hazard, the particles are very light and airbourne. If anyone does have a supply, I would be willing to buy it. Last sold by Potters Connection no 1040.

Wheel Throwing in Seattle by Biff
Hey everyone! I'm new to this list so I apologize for any faux pas. I looked through the archives, but only found relative discussions from 1997 - 2000. I am looking for a place to do wheel-throwing - whether it be through classes or by joining a studio. I mostly just want to make my own stuff...

Looking for a kiln by Bill DeWitt
Hi folks, My planned purchase of a used kiln fell through, so I am thinking about buying a new one. If no one minds, I would like to pick some brains here before I commit. I have seen the various manufacturers, but of course have no knowledge with which to differentiate between them. All...

Homemade propane nozzle? by Bill DeWitt
I have seen some intricate plans for black iron nozzles but I wonder if anyone knows of pages with any information about the -how- and -why- of propane nozzle design. I'm wondering if I could shape one directly into the firebrick.

Test Kiln? by Bill DeWitt
In my process of trying to test out the wild clay I spoke about earlier, I have built a small test kiln. It has changed shape several times in two days, but the basic premise is a two inch cube of furnace space surrounded by firebrick, heated by a propane torch. It quickly reaches an...

Wild clay? by Bill DeWitt
I have found some clay near my home, but it is sandy and grey. Is it of any use and/or is there a way to clean it up somewhat? TIA

Christmas candles? by Bill DeWitt
I spent half the day searching local stores, the other half searching google for some of those window candles with electric lights that are made out of porcelain or ceramic. I would think that someone makes them, but all I can find is cheap plastic junk. Anyone seen some nice ones for sale?

Christmas houses? by Bill DeWitt
I was thinking about starting to make my own Christmas town houses. So far my idea is to press some tiles in the shape of walls and roofs and bonding them together. This is (IMO) better than attempting to make a multipart mold and slip casting it. But since I don't know the pro's and con's of...

Fire Clay? by Bill DeWitt
My local brickyard has bags of something called "Fire clay" which they instruct me to mix with portland cement to make a fire brick. I suspect that this is wrong (or useful only for fireplaces). My intuition tells me that I should form it into my shape (I have a special shape in mind) and then...

Waterproofing and Frostproofing Clay Pots by Bill H
Hello I have some clay pots that I have brought back from Africa, they are clay that has been fired in a kiln but not glazed. The clay after firing is a terrcotta colour. I need to protect them from the UK elements, rain and frost, no room indoors! Someone suggested painting them with PVA glue...
