Glaze Book for Dummies? by
GaSeku

class that specifically addresses glazes and very much want to learn more about
making them. I am curious about underglazing right now but know precious little
about the how- to aspect. And Mason stains? What are they...

vender for a gas burner by
Lathe Dog
Where can I buy an atmospherically-entrained gas burner with about
10,000 Btu/hr max output when using propane? If a burner puts out,
say, 10,000 Btu/hr with natural gas, how much will it put out with
propane, at the same supply pressure? Thanks in advance.

Glaze Mixing Ques. by
Doug Porter
Why does glaze have to sit for 24 hours after being mixed? My husband
asked me this question and I didn't have an answer for him (besides
"that's what I was told to do").

Raku FAQ Part 2 of 2
R.9. All I ever get are bright metallic effects. How do I get more colorful
glaze effects?
This is the exact opposite of the previous question and problem. Brighter
colors need a degree of post firing oxidation in order to develop. There are
several ways to achieve this. When...

Chuck
Sorry if this is the wrong group, but does anyone have any information
regarding where a person can go to get an honest evaluation and value of
authentic, Incan pottery that is approximately 800 years old?
Thanks

I want to thank whoever recommended this book to help me understand more about

book, so easy to understand AND it has great pictures. Thanks so much! What a
great help this will be.

LONG post on results of "Glazus Interuptus" by
GaSeku
Grab a cup of tea or a glass of beer. This post may be LONG.
I fired the load that I had to turn off after two hours the day before. After
reading everyone's posts, I opted NOT to replace any of the cones since they
only got to 500F. I won't fail to replace them next time, just in case not

large tiles cracking by
Monika Schleidt
I have this very smooth, slick clay, which feels very much like
porcellain, but is tan colored and sinters at 1100C. It works very well
on the wheel, to handbuild, but, if you make any large, flat pieces,
like large tiles or so, it tends to crack right down the middle. I don't
normally make large...
