My old ones fell off and were eaten by ball-eating scorpions. Now I need new ones.How to craft them ?

Hi All, I'm new here and to pottery in general. My wife is a potter and I am in the process of building her a pottery studio in our basement workshop. This room is pretty well sealed from the rest of the house. I have a round electric kiln. I want to find out about ventilation of this kiln. I...

I have been intending to buy one of the Stow Potters wheels, the 'Whispering giant', for some time and when checking their website I find it won't work. Does anyone know if they are still in business? I Hope so. Paul f

Hello my name is Craig, I am a Craft Software programmer and I have recently developed a Craft Internet Networking program for download. It's a software application that allows Crafters and Hobbiest from over 80 different groups to advertise their work through jpeg image files and through text...

Greetings, I just started reading this newsgroup today. I've already found a wealth of information. Have I found a home? I've been working in the clay-arts for about three decades (not professionally) and have moved around for most of them. I've finally found some stability and have started...

Jim, are there any pottery supply stores or studios close by? Your wife can throw all she wants and then reconstitute the clay unless it is fired. Eventually, she will want to experiment with glazing and start keeping her work. In my opinion, she also needs to decide what cone she will be...

Has anyone tried this glaze? I am looking for a full, waxy, smooth, satin white glaze and this one looks like it will do it. I'd like to hear from anyone who may have tried it. Thanks, Gaye

Been trying to reach the website with no success since yesterday. Anyone else with this difficulty? Did they get the worm infection? Kathy

If kept moist in plastic, is it okay for a piece sit for a couple days before it is trimmed? LMac

Does anyone know where I can order rouletting wheels? I have searched the internet and can't find any place that sells them. Any information is greatley appreciated

I know this may not be the right site to ask this question. But I have at home a Royal Worcester Perigrine Falcon that I purchased about twenty years ago for £800 - £850 this is a limited edition piece that I now wish to sell, has anybody any idea as to the price these now fetch as I have no idea.

I tried to change the subject title, but it reverted back to the other one.. I would love to hear of other's test results. Here's mine for Waterfall Brown, though not terribly accurate because it turned out to be overfired to at least cone 7. Waterfall Brown is the only one I have tried so far. I...

I'm order the Mastering Cone 6 Glazes and trying to order ingredients on the same order.... Problem being that I don't know what ingredients are used.... Is this something that can be easily found out or listed... DKat

Is there any harm in refiring pieces that have pitting/pinholing? Can refiring help at all or will it make it worse? I can almost guarantee the pitting/pinholing resulting from the glaze being too thick as the only pieces that have it are those that I double dipped to mix colors. I have done...

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

I have been inspired by the Jack Doherty kiln shown in Ruthann Tudball's book to try and build one myself. For the last month I have been researching where to get materials etc and have come across people on Clayart talking about ITC100 - a coating which claims to protect against wear and tear...

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?

Hello All: I am building a small kiln that I hope to take up to ^10. I am using an oil burner to get up that high but it heats too quickly at the start so I plan to use a smaller propane burner at first to hold it at about 100c for a while and raise the temp slowley after that, then at some point...

I broke out some clay that I've had some time and it's to hard to work with. I find that it doesn't keep moist in the bags that it is packaged and I'm tired of fighting it. I buy about 500 lbs of clay at a time because I have to take a road trip for it and some of it may be kept for 6 months or...
