For a while it has been difficult to find any good place on the web to talk about statuary, ceramics, kilns, clay polymer, paints, brushes, and supplies. This forum started just a few months ago, is rising in popularity as a great place to discuss these...

OK, I don't need a home but I do need a studio to work at. I just got back from Japan and I will be moving, into the Pittsburgh, PA area, next week. I am looking for any art teaching gigs, and just a place for me to make some work.

With all the recent discussion on ClayArt, I thought others might be interested in seeing just what we've been up to at school. It's been an interesting project, to say the least, and was started early in the semester - just no time to bring it closer to completion in the gallery until now. The...

What do you all think of this article?? Be really interested to hear, do you like his work. I love it, but it sure is controversial. I listened to him give a talk a couple months ago. A very interesting man. Anyway here is the...

Hi Can I have kiln wash on both sides of my shelves? There are several glaze drips and chipped areas on the washed side. I would like to use the damaged side for bisque and the freshly washed side for glaze firing. Thanks Betsy

Hi everyone! I have been trying to learn to do the japanese wedging. It looks soooo simple and relaxing when my teacher does it, but I just can't get the hang of it. While her wedged pieces have a lovely knob in the middle and the clay goes neatly back from the coil, I have a hole in the middle...

I have this piece and do not know what the saying means, SI DY POMIS S I also would like to know if anyone else has seen something like this before and can give me information on it. It is difficult to find a marking due to the bottom. It appears to have one but I don't want to clean this too...

Can anyone direct me to where I might purchase celtic rune molds for using with ceramic slip? Thanks.

This is for a kiln lid only. It was never used. It has a 240v 8 amp element. It is 23.5 " wide & is for a kiln with a 18" wide firing chamber. It could be used as a replacment for an existing non-element kiln lid to speed up firing time or for glass...

I am interested in the techniques used to put grains of rice into the walls of porcelain bowls. Are the bowls thrown or slip cast? At which stage of the procedure is the rice inserted? Must the wall be as thin as the rice is thick so that it is exposed on both sides?
