Big Chunky Pottery Ribs? by
Larz Kremer
Does anyone know of a source for large sized fat or chunky wooden or plastic pottery ribs, not ones that are 1/8" to 1/4" in size, but much thicker? I need something like this for finishing the inside of bowls. Any leads would be appreciated! Thanks!

A potter friend and I are looking for plans to make an extruder.
Anyone have a plan he/she'd like to share. I have one in my head

Foundations by
Ted Eisenstein
With some help, I'll be building a woodfired kiln this summer. A lot
of books and articles have information on what bricks to
use where, design, construction, etc., etc. - _except_ for
what the kiln is built on.
I presume the usual options are bare dirt, gravel, and a
cement pad, but I haven't...

Bee 5 clay by
sandi
Hello Everyone,
Has anyone had a problem with Bee 5 clay not vitrifing at cone 5? The
pieces are glazed and I found that after about an hour the bottoms
have become damp. My kiln is a fairly new L&L electric and I fire

Having trouble with warping trays by
CarterDF
I enjoy using slab construction to form trays, but I have problems with
serious warping during the cone 6 glaze firing. In my most recent tray
disaster I used KPS 222 clay, a brown specked stoneware rated cone 4-8. My
slab was just under 3/8" thick when the 17" long tray was finished. I...

looking for a specialty clay recipe by
TimR
I have a need to mix some nonhardening clay, as dense and stiff as
possible.
I've tried google searches and the library without success, and some
experiments with clay and vegetable oil, etc., haven't done well
either. (They weren't "sticky" enough, I don't know the technical
term.)
Can anyone...

Paper armature? by
Sam
I want to make a little peice by making a cone of paper and painting slip on
it. Of course, it cracks while drying. I am trying drying it very slowly,
but is there anything else I should try? I can't make it with a roll or cone
of clay because of where it is. TIA

tiny kiln questions by
Kathryn & Stuart Fields
Was just given a Vcella Kiln, model 9, probably quite old. This is a tiny
brick internal, surrounded by iron framing and supposedly good for anything
one would want to do -- max is listed as 2300 and the tech said this
temperature would be good for many, many hours constant. So, a very...

Coils by
Uncle John
I am hand rolling tapering coils. They are about 24 inches long and taper
from 2 in to 1/2 in. They are not too bad but it difficult to get an even
taper over the whole length as well as being hard to keep parts of it round
and not oval.
I would appreciate any suggestions
Cheers
