Hi guys What with the discussion about stamps, I was wondering if anyone has tried stamping into a wet piece of clay, then letting the clay dry - then taking another piece of clay and pressing it into the original piece in order to make letters that stick out instead of ones that are indented into...

Hi, I'm looking for a letter set, 5/32" - 3/16" high (caps only). Stand-alone letters or on stamps. If on stamps, then not reversed. (would produce a reversed image if you inked it...) They need to be at least 1/32" thick (if on a smamp then raised that high), but prefereably 1/16" thick. Anyone...

I have used Leather tools for this. You have to find a leather craft supply store near you and look for the letter sets. There are several sizes and fonts of letter sets. I have used these stamps to make words or names in a piece of slab clay and then attach it to the side of a mug or jar. (I.E....

Hi folks! I am finally back at my wheel after many months not being able to use it for one reason or another. I realize that it will take me a while to get "the feeling" back, but in the mean time, I have a rotten dilemma. If I throw on my wooden bats (I have 2), the holes are slightly bigger...

Does anyone have any information (or can point me to a link) for a Skutt 231X kiln? I'm trying to decide whether or not to buy one. I've googled and can't find any info on this model, so I'm assuming it's not in production any more. The person selling it says it's a never-been-fired kiln, but I...

Hi Everyone, About a year ago we had a discussion about a problem with Standard #112 clay getting cracks in it. It seems it might have been a manufacturing problem. Does anyone know if that has been corrected? I haven't bought any since then and I will if the problem has been fixed. I like the...

I was chatting to someone about a beautiful red-glazed piece which had veins of a purple glaze sprayed on ... I swear they said it was "ned ware". I didn't have my wits about me at the time and so didn't ask "what's that??". Any clues, did I miss-hear? Thanks, pbhj

I think the first thing I would try would be to leave out the Feldspar; it seems to me there is more than enough flux in the body without it. Why is it there? In the past I have solved a bloating problem in a clay with a high red clay content by replacing some of it with ball clay and iron oxide...

Hi guys! What I have been doing up until now is to slop my lefotovers (a LOT when you are a newbie on the wheel!) into a 10-liter bucket. Then I crunch the bits down into maximum 2 cm bits or less. But is 10 liters of clay too much to reclaim at once on a gypsum board? Am I being too...

Hi again! Full of questions, I am - and you guys are so great about offering your advice! So - today I wedged my recycled clay. Probably should have done it yesterday, but didn't get time/energy. While wedging, I thought, gosh - why put it into one huge lump? Why not make balls ready for when I...

Question & answer time again folks..... Do any of you use Terra Sig on bisqued pots? How does it work? How do you treat it? Naked raku? Pit-fire? I was asked this question the other night after class, and I didn't exactly know how to answer it. Thought I might see if any of you could help me...
