Wheel with lugs on it by Anne Mossman
I'm a relative novice at the wheel and to date have used studio and rented wheels (without lugs). I've just acquired my own new wheel and ordered it with lugs on it, thinking it must be more useful/efficient to sit bats on it this way than to have to make clay chucks to hold bats on. Having taken...

Old Kress Kiln by GaSeku
I recently bought an old cress kiln. It's probably over twenty years old. The outside looks its age but the inside looks almost brand new. All of the elements are working and the cord seems in good shape. Is there anything else I need to check before firing it up? Thanks all!

for the glaze gurus by Clayslinger
This one is for all the glaze gurus and experts out there; I acquired some glaze (in a bucket - premixed) from a woman who retired from pottery. It is a beautiful creamy white BUT is very touchy. It cracks and flakes off my bisque and if I don't carefully smooth all the hairline cracks before...

Glaze mess by Clayslinger
I'm no expert except to say "been there, done that, bought the t-shirt". Here is my experience: 1. How do I get them off my shelves? I use a chisel or screwdriver (bugs the hell out of my hubby) and a hammer. Try not to take too much kiln shelf with it (duh, that's a given). I tap gently right at...

Brent electric wheels by psci_kw
I like to throw off the mound, mostly cups and bowls, and have only rarely thrown anything as much as a foot high that stayed on center ... that is, I'm a hobbyist, not an artist or production potter. Ahhhh....try slowing the wheel down a bit the higher you pull. You will find it MUCH...

Help: parts for Sno Kiln? by BR
We have an electric Sno Kiln of unknown vintage that has been donated to our church. The local crafts store says parts are no longer available for these kilns. It needs at least one switch (there are 4) and the band around the lid needs hardware such as a new handle and what appears to be a...

Popping noises by L.Mac
I am very concerned about the noises I heard. I noticed popping and crackling when I opened the lid at around 100 F. I closed the lid and waited a while. I eventually unloaded at 92 F. I can't imagine that the noises are from cooling too fast except that the outside temp was cooler than the...

Repair refractory material in a Paragon kiln? by kay lancaster
I was recently given an older Paragon electric kiln, meant for china painting (so it's not huge... about 18" across and deep) -- during transport, the refractory material in the bottom cracked, apparently along brick-shaped lines. The top looks like it would be moderately easy to reline, but I'm...
