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...

Hi Just a quick one off question I hope someone here won't mind answering. We are making many small clay flowers and have to roll the clay thinly and then cut with a pastry type cutter. What is the best surface to roll out on? We can't stop the clay sticking and damaging them. We have many...

Hi everyone :-) I have added to my YouTube "collection" with the process of making lidded balls and also the opening of my bisque kiln today. I am not posting because I want more hits on my videos. What I was hoping for was actually some feedback from "real" (as opposed to little-old amateur...

Hello, Just thought I'd introduce myself as I have just joined the group. I found google groups today and was pleasantly surprised to find one dedicated to my passion! I work out of a corner of my garage. When I was in school (I've recently graduated) I high fired, either reduction or salt/soda...

I'm building a house for my wood fired kiln (Steve Mills helped me greatly with the kiln) and posted some pics of it's early stages on my site. More to come later. http://www.freakyacres.com/?p=kilnhouse.php

I was just browsing in clayart postings, have not actually subscribed though. This interested me I have seen out and about well named stores selling dinnerware with crazed glaze on the inside of bowls and mugs. Does any one have any reaction to this and does any one know how they can get...

Hi Folks! I just fired 8 stoneware mugs with cone 6 commercial glaze. I glazed the bottom of the mugs and placed them on stilts. In a few cases, the stilts seemed to have melted. These stilts came with an old kiln and a bunch of other stuff. Are stilts made to different specs, i.e. high fire,...

I am having the worst time attaching handles. If they don't crack at the junction, there is a crack at the bend of the handle. What should I do? I can't believe that the people who make lots of mugs, etc. have this problem. Help.

I recently purchased a used kiln with the Ceramichrome brand name on it. I don't think they make kilns anymore as my searches come up blank. Did another company make them for Ceramichrome and they put their name on it? Would like to know in case I need replacement parts or any accessories that...

Does anyone have any suggestions on where I might find a *really* white porcelain slip? There are many companies out there selling slip that is named all manner of white, but they all turn out rather gray or yellowish when fired. I mean the kind of white that is the same color as your standard...

Hello All: I learned to make plates last week. I'm now curious what each of you who make dinnerware sets include. Salad plate, dinner plate, saucer, cup, etc? What standard accessories could go with it? Gravy dispenser, etc.? Diego

I am thinking of buying a kiln-- a couple of questions... when i see gas kiln prices in a catalog, do gas kilns include everything needed such as the burners? And 240v electric kilns (cone 10)... how hard is it to wire up 240v outlet for such a kiln. What do you all recommend, electric or gas kiln?

I just touched porcelain for the first time tonight. It's so soft, and I love the way it feels! I've been working with flameware all year, and that stuff will rip the skin off your hands and it feels like glass slivers are embedded in your skin after working with it. Any hints for throwing? I'm...

Has anyone else stopped receiving clayart email? I even went to their website, reset my subscription, and did not receive the confirming email. I'm getting other mail. Thanks, Janet Price

Has anyone noticed that their cups and jars, etc. look better on the inside than the outside. I find on many of mine that the colors are prettier, brighter. It seems that the glaze may be thicker. ?? I was also wondering if it would have to do with a temperature difference from the outside to...
