Does any have any experience with the Thomas Stuart Kick Wheel or the Brent Model J Kick Wheel? How about kits or plans for building a kick wheel?

Does anyone recognize the pottery mark in this photo? http://www.states-street.com/gladding2.jpg Seller claims it is Gladding McBean, but it really doesn't look like a GMB piece to me. Also, what is the best book out there for identifying pottery marks? --

Any decent grade porcelain or white stoneware should work fine. Depends on what you want for a finish when it comes out of the kiln. Your shino is going to react differently with each clay body. Try one and see if you get what you like. Best, Wayne "Leonard" wrote in...

Recently, a thread about the spammers had some people questioning the validity (usefulness) of responding to the spammer's ISP by typing in "abuse" and sending it back. I did that not three days ago after the second attempt by those idiots to scam me. The response I got is printed below. SCORE...

I am looking for a used slab roller in the Northwest, Washington or Oregon. Any suggestions where to look?

Is anyone in this group familiar with ceramic-topped tables? Rectangular tables are ususally fired in one or two pieces. Round ones have been known to be fired/constructed in six pieces. The base material sometimes is volcanic rock or clay. Thoughts, comments, whatever will be greatly...

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...

Sarah: Don't know if this is what you're looking for but there is a book translated from Japanese about building a mini-gama (a mini-anagama) fired with charcoal I believe. It's tabletop sized, and fires like the real thing. The book is only $14. The information I have is:

Joe: Since it will be a very large space (larger than my whole studio) might I suggest you check out http://www.farmtek.com This online farm supply store can sell you 4X8 sheets of something called "Gel-coat" (sp?), which is a fiberglass coated sheet material commonly used to cover the walls and...

Zander, I think you're all set. The kiln is not much worse heat-wise than a gas stove. At a kiln building workshop, I was told by the instructor to "think of an electric kiln as a big toaster." Made it easier to deal with mentally. I call mine "Toasty" in honor of that workshop. Have fun with...

Does anyone know if it is possible to replace three position switches in an electric kiln with the infinitely variable type? Seems it would make ramping and soaking a bit easier. (No, I haven't called my kiln mfgr yet. Trying for some background info here first.) TIA, Wayne in Key West

I glazed a pot at Cone 6, but am not happy with the matte finish. I would like to put a clear gloss over top and refire the pot. However, I am having a hard time getting the glaze to cover. I heated the pot in my oven, but that didn't really work. Does anyone have any suggestions on how best to...

I am a beginner at glazing and firing. I am using an old Cress kiln for glaze firing and have a few questions that have come up. Hopefully someone can help me. When firing to Cone 6, once the temperature is reached how long does it take the cone to fall over? In a small Cress kiln (11" x 11" x...
