Susie
Hi Steve
Thanks for your kind comments re dragons. You asked for more detail
about the emerging dragon - what would you like to know? All this has
given me the confidence to keep going along this track. Since making
the Siblings I've had an outbreak (litter?) of porcelain cats. If you
like...

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

thing go to (you...

Allach Porcelain displays odd socialist symbolism or markings..... by
Tinny Ray
Allach Porcelain uses a logo that exposes the swastika as crossed "S"
letters symbolizing "Socialism" under the monstrous National Socialist
German Workers' Party.

It provides additional confirmation of the amazing discoveries...

on glaze colours and lustres by
Susie
I regularly use onglaze colours fired to 760C on unglazed porcelain
which has been fired to 1250C.
What I was wondering was if there is sufficient 'glaze base/cover'
deposited by the colours to enable me to use lustres on top of them? Has
anybody got any suggestions? Also, would it work if I...

bakerhillpins
All
Working through my grandmothers estate we have a Skutt model 181 that
she bought many years ago but apparently never used. Seems she kept
using her Paragon A-55. We have someone who is interested in the kiln
but when asked to make an offer they simply asked us what we wanted for
it. Being that...

Hi
Okay - I have started throwing on my wheel again. But I keep getting these

glaze gone bad by
Red Deer
Hi Everyone,
Can glazes go bad? I have a glaze that was real nice when it was new
(two years ago). Now it seems to have gone bad. The pots with this
glaze on them come out of the kiln with what looks like bubbles that
have formed and burst open but never smoothed over. All the other
pieces in...
