refiring by
GaSeku
I refired a bowl that had previously overfired and was quite full of bubbles.
My thinking was that another firing would smooth them out, but they are the
same, if not worse. It seemed like something that should work. Why didn't it?
Any ideas? Thanks, Gaye

wondered if anybody can point me in the direction of internet based

with a metal scraper. Nevertheless I've gotten...

Cold weather cracking? by
Lindsay MacArthur
My studio is an old wood shop attached to our barn. Insulation is
poor and the only heat is from two space heaters which aren't on all
the time. Is there a risk of my bone dry pieces cracking if the
