Firing an almost empty kiln by
John Rigler
Of course firing a kiln that is not completely full is a waste of
energy, but it somehow also take longer since there is less mass inside
it to hold the head which the elements produce?

candleholders by
sandi
Hello Everyone,
Does anyone know of something I could use to gage the opening on a
candleholder, the kind that you open off center and pull a saucer and
then pull the actual candlestick then attach a little finger handle?
Sort of early American looking. It seems like I can't get the holes

refiring piece of porcelain slip under glaze. by
Marmaj40
I have a cone 6 piece that when it was leather hard, I covered with porcelain
slip to make the clay lighter in color. I fired it at 06 for bisque, and then
glazed it, and fired to cone 6. It came out very rough, with the porcelain in
little bubbles that looked smooth like it fired to temperature,...

difficulty with firing by
Evelyn Bednarz
I am new at firing my own stuff. I bought a used Skutt kiln (10 cubic feet
fires to cone 8 with electronic controller) I initially fired it empty (
with shelves in) which is what the manufacturer suggests when the kiln is
new or has been moved using the "med " cone 04 program (preset) All of...

cassarole lids by

Hello Everyone,
It seems like all my cassarole lids look like upside down bowls. How

Thanks,

new to porcelain by
Deborah M Riel
I just touched porcelain for the first time tonight. It's so soft,
and I love the way it feels! I've been working with flameware all
year, and that stuff will rip the skin off your hands and it feels
like glass slivers are embedded in your skin after working with it.
Any hints for throwing? I'm...

pulled handles by
sandi
Hello Everyone,
Does anyone know if there is an advantage to pulling the handle from
the pot as opposed to pulling a handle separately and then attaching
it to the pot?
Thanks,
Sandi

webmaster by
Marmaj40
Where is the "webmaster" when all of this non-pottery garbage is posted? I see
this has turned into a porno site, and the potters are gone. It makes me sad.

Puppet Master threads???? by
Lori
Um, excuse me - but, I'm having a difficult time understanding how and
when this board became a forum for politics, such as the "Puppet
Master" threads that have recently appeared instead of clay and
pottery related discussions.
Could someone kindly explain this to me, please?
Thanks,
Lori

Terracotta decorating problem. by
Hugh Prosser
Some years ago, the "in thing" for unglazed terracotta pots (at least in New
Zealand) was to put straw or grass onto the pot and refire it so the organic
material left black carbon markings on the terracotta surface.
A customer had a two piece bird bath where the top got broken and he wants
another...

Stove top bisque? by
Sam
I hate to be the type of guy who asks a question first then goes and
does a google search, but...
I have been doing a bunch of tiny carvings (less than one inch in any
direction) and driving them 20 miles away to have them fired and refired and
refired. No, I can't afford a kiln yet...
