Color Question by
MostlyH2O
Hi Folks,
My wife and I just had a friend create a large set of dishes and other
pottery for us. When we got the finished product, we saw that our friend had
forgotten to add any blue color to the design - even though we specifically
asked for it. We don't want to hurt his feelings if this is not...

Gerstley Borate - has anyone come up with a GOOD replacement by
D Kat
I could not figure out why our glazes were looking so flat and dead until I
read about gerstley substitutes not being at all the same as what Gerstley
is. Has anyone come up with glazes that don't use Gerstley but that still
give depth and life to the cone 6 oxidation glaze firing? We were...

Yet another question -- Kiln/greenware by
NoSpam
Hi
In an effort to start the pottery "art"/"craft", I picked up 3 or 4 pieces
of greenware from a local place.
I was told it was a "low-fire" clay. I have very little artistic skill, so
I wanted to work with the "fire" aspects
of the art/craft of pottery. I got some old clay bricks and made a...

Kiln Cooling by
Lindsay MacArthur
My electric kiln is set in a sort of outdoor shed type building. The
building is very small so I leave the doors open while firing in order
to vent. I have only had my kiln since May so I haven't had to worry
about the weather. My question is: Now the temperature is getting
cold do I need to...

Judges Comments by
Morgan Larch
This is curious to/for me (and may well be an aside, please forgive me if it is).
I've thought a pot being about the pot, not about the
potter. The pot has resonance with it's audience or not. To me the potter
is quite apart from the pot. The pot is a living being on it's own (success) or it
isn't...

I glazed a pot at Cone 6, but am not happy with the matte finish. I would
like to put a clear gloss over top and refire the pot. However, I am having
a hard time getting the glaze to cover. I heated the pot in my oven, but
that didn't really work.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how best to...
