Looking for a blue glaze by
m
Have you picked up a copy of Mastering Cone 6 Glazes by Roy and
Hesselberth? There are several blues in there. I use the variegated

Large bowls sagging when throwing by
JM
I want to be able to throw large salad bowls, but I have a problem with
sagging just before I finish the throw. Is it better to half throw then
left for a while to dry/firm up before continuing to throw?
Whats the technique for this?

and one was burned out. I usually use this as the time to replace them
all, so I...
