It's been years since I've done any work with a kiln and I've never had my own but I recently purchased one (and am I the only freak who actually names their kiln?) and I'm wondering if I'm recalling correctly that aluminum soda cans can be used as an armature for large-ish hollow pieces? Can...

My week started off normal... made my clay order from one of my two usual suppliers but chose to order 1000 pounds from great lakes clay co. They say they can get you a freight order in 3 days and make special arrangements so it doesn't show up frozen(problem in north midwest winter) SO ANYWAY...

I am just a newbie in clay and throwing-- just got my own wheel after taking some private lessons. My question: how can I rig up something at home for kneading the clay? I mean, should I glue some canvas to an old table, or use a staple gun to snugly attach canvas to the top of an old table, to...

You people need to learn to meditate, i think staring at your monitor is affecting your brains, so you should maybe try something like working with clay, I hear it's pretty relaxing. I COULD GIVE YOU SOME LESSONS, if you'd like... Maybe get you on a potters wheel and off the slip molds.
