Pottery on Cable show by
Marmaj40

demonstrate on TV. I think it is on at 3:30 Eastern Daylite time, and on at
12:30 Pacific Daylite. You can go to DIYNetwork.com and it tells you what has
been done and what is coming up. Also will tell us in USA when it...

Problems reconciling controller temp to cone: way over fired! by
tony
It's not strictly temperature. it is temperature over time. If you were to
hold at cone 5 temp for some extended time, cone 6 will drop. If you take
it to cone 5 temp, fast, and shut off, cone 4 will just bend. and 5 will be
unaffected. Cones measure "heat-work," not just temperature so...

Southwestern Native American Pottery Yahoo Group by
Clark Case
Recently, after a buying few pieces at estate auctions, I've become

doing some web searches, I was very suprised to see that there didn't
seem to be any forums established specifically for the discussion of
this subject. So, I...

three legged bowl by
sandi
Hello Everyone,
I would like to make a slab built bowl (draped over a mold) with
texture on the inside and I'd like to put three legs on it. I would
be shaping the legs or feet from a slab wrapped around the short end
of a wooden spout maker so they will be hollow. My question is do you
have to...

Dry matt barium glaze (Ox ^6-10?) by
wayneinkeywest
Try going to www.digitalfire.com
They have an excellent substitution listing.
Personally, I would stay as far away from that glaze as I could. You don't
mention what cone you are firing to, but considering the toxicity of the two
items (barium and lithium)
perhaps you would be better off using a...

Firing Decals on Store-bought Ceramic Wall Tiles by
Marni
I've been thinking about buying some plain white, glazed ceramic wall tiles
and then applying decals on them, and firing the decals. Has anyone tried
this? I think it would work since decals are only fired to somewhere around
^018 (not sure, have to look it up again).

Q. about glazing techniques by
bking
First of all, I'm not a potter, I'm an interested onlooker.
I have some questions, I wondered if it's appropriate
to ask them here. I don't have access to a university
library and our local library has nothing that will help.
If you can recommend any books that would be good
too.
I would like to...

ceramic bowls 'expiring' by
Kate
I have a set of 3 hand thrown red clay bowls made in 1983 that all
chipped badly within a month of each other just now. Do ceramic
vessels 'expire' or go bad somehow after a while? I used the bowls
every day for 20 years and certainly got my use out of them, but I was
puzzled that they all...

sales at craft shows? by
Sandy
I have been doing juried craft shows for a few years now and have been
fairly successful. My work has changed over these years, I've switched from
white earthenware with my own designs painted on them (mugs, planters,
sugars and creamers) to some funky hand-built stoneware. My question is, is

Can someone test my clay? by

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...
