Basic wheel throwing question - centering by Elric
Hello. I'm taking a Beginner Wheel Throwing Class at a local studio, but it turns out I'm the only beginner there, and after about 15 minutes of demonstration, the instructor cut us loose. In the two hour class, everyone made 3 or 4 bowls apiece, and I could barely get the clay to center on the...

flowing glazes by Marmaj40
I use commercial glazes for the most part, and it seems that some of the glazes I buy flow on beautifully, and others seem to "attack" the pot in a thick glob, and dry so quickly that the brush just seems to attach to the pot, and won't glide over the piece. With this type of glaze, I get a very...

Pit firing by Stelios Zacharias
Dear all, I have bought some books suggested by the group about kiln building. It is going to take time to get organised enough to build a kiln. Since we got the 4 day weekend coming up at the end of the month, I thought I'd pit fire my greenware rather than wait to get a kiln built. I have had a...

04 06? by Martin J. Kenny
This question is probably simple with a simple answer. Perhaps it narrows down to will it make a difference to the final product if I bisque porcelain at 06 (usually I do it to 04)? The reason for the question is that there is a terracotta piece already fired to 06. It has some glued wood...
