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

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 being too...

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...

I want to make a clay sculpture. It is a box with a special shape that I made up, and is not buyable. Nothing special in that, because there are an infinite amount of possibilities anyone can make a new shape. But I don't have a kiln and don't know anyone with one! I live in London, England. How...
