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...

agate stones in pottery by
Marmaj40
Hello all and thanks to all who responded to my agate stone question. I put 4
small "pebbles" into a bowl, bisqued it to ^04, and to my surprise----when I
unloaded the kiln there in the bottom of the bowl were the pebbles just like I
put them in. Nothing happened. I'm sure by firing them higher...

Air Bubble by
Lindsay MacArthur
I threw a bowl yesterday and last night realized that there was an air
bubble on the outside. I popped it but now that area is thin. If it
fires okay would that spot be a weak point in piece?

Air Bubbles by
Lindsay MacArthur
Can air bubbles develop after firing? I have a couple pieces that I
would swear didn't have air bubbles when I pulled them out of the
glost firing but now have air bubbles. Will the air bubbles affect
the strength of the piece?

Airbrush glaze by
Diego
I believe I've seen some pottery
done with an airbrush and thought the result was spectacular. Can
any of you give me an idea of what brand/model of airbrush would
be most compatible with pottery glazes? Also, what size compressor
would you recommend? I've seen a couple of brands in the arts...

Airbrushing glaze by
Tass
I am actually a ceramicist but decided to post here because this questions
would apply to pottery as well as ceramics. I have always be told "not to
airbrush" glazes as it is a dangerous process due to the frit and chemicals
in the glazes. Is this indeed an unhealthy practice and could it be...

All dried up... by
Stelios Zacharias
Dear all,
It is the height of summer here in Athens. I am the newbie who
posted a few days ago with firing questions.
I have my clay in big plastic bins, but it has (after about a
month) got too dry to manipulate easily. Is there a short cut to
getting the clay useable again, or should I get it...

Allach Porcelain displays odd socialist symbolism or markings..... by
Tinny Ray
Allach Porcelain uses a logo that exposes the swastika as crossed "S"
letters symbolizing "Socialism" under the monstrous National Socialist
German Workers' Party.

Alligator glazes by
Tim Gaul
Has anyone used the Alligator Glazes by Amaco? It's confusing to look
in their catalog--the blues look brown (?) and generally it's hard to
tell exactly what you might get if you order.
I'm looking for a good two-tone-y or variegated blue and a green.
If any one can answer--thank you very much. ...

Ancient Cromartie Test Kiln by
Roz Lacey
(Potter in UK) Someone kindly gave me a small but very old Cromartie test
kiln. They thought I could use it as a test kiln and for enamel and onglaze
work. It looks in good condition and switching it on produces enormous
heat, so I guess the elements are OK. The problem is I can't open it. ...

And speaking of bisque and green glaze firing by
DKat
I have some pieces that were meant for a pit fire. They have been burnished
so if I fire them with my regular bisque (which I generally fire to cone 06)
then they are going to lose their shine. What do you all think of bisque
firing everything at the lower cone 010 (or even try pushing it to...
