Disaster by
Sue Roessel Dura
I made a horse on special order and it slumped against another pot so they are
glazed together - his front leg to the vase's belly. Is there any way I can
seperate them at least to save the horse! Best, Sue

This is the exact opposite of the previous question and problem. Brighter

Reclaiming clay - how-to? by
Bubbles
Hi guys!
What I have been doing up until now is to slop my lefotovers (a LOT when you
are a newbie on the wheel!) into a 10-liter bucket. Then I crunch the bits
down into maximum 2 cm bits or less.
But is 10 liters of clay too much to reclaim at once on a gypsum board? Am I

porcelain firing by
Susie Thompson
I've built something which is very, very fragile. It will finally need
firing to 1250C to mature the clay - at which point I suspect that the
clay will be beginning to 'soften' and not be able to take its own

What I need to do is to biscuit fire to a sufficiently high enough...

I did a similar thing once...glazed a teapot and held on to the teapot's
handle while glazing the body. The teapot was glazed with a sandstone
colour. When fired to cone 06, the handle came out pinkish. All I did was
reglaze the handle and refire to cone 05; it came out perfect. The glaze

Talc! by
DKat
The writing on the wall is that the University is not going to allow us to
use Talc either in our glazes or our clays (how in the world you are
supposed to find that out given the mix we have that has come and gone and
the recycling done...).
Our best glazes use Talc. What in the world can you...
