Ventillation by
Cappi8
I'm new at firing and need information regarding proper ventilation. I own
a Skutt Kiln and will be firing in my basement. The kiln will be near a
window so that I can vent out the toxic fumes. What exactly would I need to
do to make sure that no fumes remain indoors.
Thanks
Jessica

humidity sensitive glaze by
Jeremy Griffiths
Hi,
I have a small commercially produced pottery ornament which has a glaze on
it that changes colour depending on the weather (presumably depending on the
humidity of the air), and am trying to find out the chemical/glaze that does
this. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Anybody
I'm trying to source red clays that will fire to 1270/1280 that are

pyrometers by
GaSeku
I need your input once again. I am looking for a pyrometer for my electric
kiln. Any recommendations? I've noticed that the cost of thermocouples, I know
they're for gas kilns, are at least 3 times higher than you can get them
anywhere else. Is this also true for pyrometers? Any recommendations on...

Glaze on fire bricks by
Lindsay MacArthur
I wanted to know what kind of damage glaze can do to fire bricks on
the bottom of my kiln. If there is no structural damage to the bricks
or the kiln can I continue to fire with the drops of glaze there? I
never load on the bottom so no wares would be touching it directly.
Thanks for the...

Hobby Income by
Nine Tiger
Can anyone tell me: is there any tax limit on how much you can earn with
pottery as a hobby? I will probably gross $2000 next year. With this small an
amount, I don't feel the need to do it as a business. Of course, I will declare
the income for taxes which prompted the question.
Any ideas,...

RED CLAYS by

can anybody explain why some red clays will fire to stoneware
temperatures? obviously, the presence of red iron oxide is going to
bring the vitrification point down so what is it that allows some red
clays to be fired to temperatures used in, say, ash glazing as used by,
amongst others, Bernard...
