I think someone posted an answer to this a while back, but I am unable to find the post... I work with poured ceramics, and I have a purely decorative piece which broke cleanly in two during firing. I want to complete the piece by glazing it, and I cannot remember the 'recipe' for the repair...

I am a beginner at glazing and firing. I am using an old Cress kiln for glaze firing and have a few questions that have come up. Hopefully someone can help me. When firing to Cone 6, once the temperature is reached how long does it take the cone to fall over? In a small Cress kiln (11" x 11" x...

Hello all, I'm new to this group and fairly new to ceramics. I have an electric kiln and a small budget. I'd like to make a few shelves for the kiln. I haven't been able to find any information on this. Anybody have any suggestions? Thanks, David

Had the plates been around long enough after the glaze firing for them to absorb moisture? The decal firing softens the glaze enough for any moisture to form bubbles - in some cases the bubbles burst making a very nasty surface. "pbhj" wrote in...

Hi, I am fairly new to pottery and wanted to start some handbuilding at home to compliment a wheel class I am taking once a week. I wanted to build a table for wedging, slab building etc. I have a bunch of 2' x 6" pieces of composite decking left from resurfacing our deck and was looking for...

Can u help? I work with stoneware and have just been experimenting with slipware and sgraffitto designs. At the moment I have three slips made up - white, cobalt blue, and copper green. I decorated the ware when still 'green' with the blue and green slip, bisque fired, then covered with a...

Hi all, just joined your group after reading some of your postings. There was some talk about wiring off pots and I thought I could share a tip with you by way of introduction: If, as I do, you slide your pots onto a selection of small wooden boards it can create a'sticky' problem when you later...

Hi everyone: I did a bisque firing last night in my Olympic Kiln with Bartlett controls. It fired fine and turned off and has been cooling all day. I went to see how hot it still was and found the failed light on. This wasn't on when I checked earlier in the day. I did the trouble shooting and...

I've gotten lots of great information from this list, but it's taken a while to build up the courage to ask a question: Does anyone have suggestions for making interesting lugs (handles) for shallow casseroles? Any tips or ideas would be appreciated. Chari

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
