Hi, I'm looking for a letter set, 5/32" - 3/16" high (caps only). Stand-alone letters or on stamps. If on stamps, then not reversed. (would produce a reversed image if you inked it...) They need to be at least 1/32" thick (if on a smamp then raised that high), but prefereably 1/16" thick. Anyone...

Dear Lee, Did you get my post of May 14th? Please reply off list -- Steve Mills Bath UK

I've been making pottery at a community center for the past 5+ years and I am now considering taking the plunge in getting my own wheel, kiln, etc..., and setting up my own (home) studio. Although I have solid intermediate skills working on a wheel, I have no experience with using a kiln...

Hi Okay - I have started throwing on my wheel again. But I keep getting these LUMPS of clay that seem like they are weighted on one side, even though I have spiral wedged them for at least 10-15 minutes before splitting them up into about half-kilo pieces, making those into balls by slapping...

Hi my name is Justyna ,i would like to know where in Poland can i get prime materials , glazes, look at the kilns , meet up with people related to ceramics.Can anybody help me please?thank you!:)

Hi everyone I have been asked by a friend if I can find a UK supplier of rubber sealing rings for the pottery she makes. Any suggestions will bemost welcome. Bob

People occasionally ask for start up tips. Here's one: store your glazes in containers with good seals. Duh! In trying to save money and not having a source of larger buckets with sealing lids, I have most of my glazes stored in old food containers many of which don't seal. So I waste tons of...

I know we are all suffering dry cracked hands I wear rubber gloves for almost everything but throwing, but with my own work and teaching two classes my hands are still a wreck. I use Jason pure Shea Butter. What does everybody else use?

I'm just starting out with making pottery and would like to get a kiln for my home studio. I have no idea how to evaluate the various types and brands before making a purchase. Can anyone offer guidelines or suggestions? Thanks. Karen

Hi guys What with the discussion about stamps, I was wondering if anyone has tried stamping into a wet piece of clay, then letting the clay dry - then taking another piece of clay and pressing it into the original piece in order to make letters that stick out instead of ones that are indented into...

I have some nice pottery books I want to sell on eBay, and wonder if I can post a notice here? Marco

Hi all, does anybody have the recipe for Emannuel Cooper's chrome/tin pink, stoneware glaze, I had it several years ago but can't find it amongst my papers. It's an unusual glaze, pink where thick and blue in thinner areas; I believe he called it "Midnight fun". Help please! Cheers, Andy

Over the years I've had many cats (9) who have died of old age and I've buried them on my property but I am running out of space. I was wondering if I could cremate the next one in my kiln and if so, to what cone? Also would I need to get a permit from my county? Thanks, Sandi

Hi, I'm new to this group and enjoyed reading some of the past posts. I have been doing stoneware pottery in an electric kiln for about 5 years now. My husband cooks down maple syrup on a woodfired cooker and he has recently rebuilt it lines with fire brick so that we can try firing some pottery...

Following on the thread about soaking, I was thinking that each kiln is an individual, and thus, logging what your own kiln does is essential. BUT! What information do YOU log? Do you have a kiln log - is it on computer file, so you can share it with us that are inquisitive and searching? I have a...

Hello everyone, I am very interested in seeing other peoples works!! If you wouldn't mind posting pictures or web page addresses... you can also send me an email with works! Just getting started with pottery and would love to see what others are doing!

HI all, I'm in the process of moving my studio some 300 miles, from my home in the Midlands UK to a harbourside village in South Cornwall. Lease contracts got signed yesterday and we aquire the premises on Saturday. There is a lot of work to be done, before we can open to the public, we are...

Hello, I want to make a plaster mold of a ball which is why I have 2 halfs of polystyrene balls. I got them sent to Australia from my german pottery friend and I made one mold already approx 20 cm diameter which worked so far so good. The only problem was to get the halfs polystyrene balls out of...
