I just discovered that our studio bought a skutt cone 6 kiln which is used to do cone 6 glaze firings. We do probably 2 firings a week when things are busy. Needless to say our brand new kiln is dropping in performance and we will soon have to buy new elements. So.... Would it help significantly...

Hey guys there is some disagreement at my local potters group about how often kiln elements need replacing. In my own kiln I replaced them after about 150 firings. The kiln began to take longer and then began to struggle to reach temp even though none of the elements were broken. I would...

Hi I'm just rebuilding an old kiln, and it came with a separate Cambridge Controller model number 401R+. I assume from the model number that it needs a type R thermocouple, is this right? Inside it has a linking plug, like in a computer, called LK2, what does this do? Can anybody photocopy or...

Hi, I am new to this group. I am not a potter, but I have a question that potters might be able to answer. I have a set of 3 nesting enamelled cast iron Dutch ovens. They were made shortly after WWII in Holland and are now considered

can anyone help me identify who manufactured this basket?? Thank you, dave c https://home.comcast.net/~dazan43/pinxton.htm

Hi All. I've just found an old tea set - slipware apparently. I recognise it from when I was a kiddy but can't identify the style/pattern/make. Can anyone have a look and give me some advice - I'm sure it's a very obvious to those in the know. http://www.hertsweb.net/images/P1010042.JPG - 213k

My wife would like to redecorate our toilet... Of course I will need to dry it out completely. Anyone know what cone I can take a "vitreous china" toilet bowl or sink bowl to? Chris in Austin, Texas

Hi I have to move from premises I'm currently in and have to store my electric kiln at home. It's a toploading electric kiln with controller etc. I'm terribly short of space, I live in a small flat in London - I could store it in a small conservatory in the garden, but I would rather not, it's...

A couple weeks ago I finished my first glaze firing in my brand new Olympic Kiln----WHAT A DISASTER!!!! I am still trying to chisel pieces of glaze and pottery off of my shelves. Anyways, to add to my misery I noticed, post firing, that the fire bricks on the bottom of my kiln have cracked. How...

the reason I am asking is I am tiling a center island in my kitchen with porcelain tile, and its almost all bullnose which is nothing more than a piece of tile with one side sanded down ( taking the sharp edge and just rounding it off a little. ) they charge an arm and leg for these bullnose...

My latest project to irritate my wife is playing in the mud. My two small children and I mixed up a batch of clay and had a great time doing it. I'm building a pottery wheel right now and if my clay is good I will also build a kiln. Please note that I do not intend to make great works of art, we...

I found this on a bulletin board like this one and decided to try it. Previously I was browsing through a newsgroup, as you are now, and came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands within weeks with only an initial investment of £5.00! So I thought, this must be a...

I'm an evil wizard and I need a Pot of Pestilence to hide it in my Dungeon of Despair so that a band of adventurers will be hired by a good wizard to destroy the evil pot and me. My plan is to lure the adventurers to my lair, then my henchmen will kill and butcher them and we will feast on their...

ok i am a real newbie, but an experienced potter (finishing his MA in ceramics, a working potter) told me that I could fire ^10 clay down to ^6 if needed. What say the rest of you? Or can ^10 only be fired at ^10?

Hello Everyone, Does anyone know of something I could use to gage the opening on a candleholder, the kind that you open off center and pull a saucer and then pull the actual candlestick then attach a little finger handle? Sort of early American looking. It seems like I can't get the holes uniform...
