Working with pottery at home by
Lewis Lang
Hi. I would like to working with pottery at home at home. How much
realistically will I need to spend $$$, and what exactly will I really
need to get started? Are any of those kits worth looking at, or are
those scams? Please also suggest a good book or 2.
Thanks.

Studio heat source by
Pete Snell
Hi All
I'm designing a small studio addition for my SO's pottery studio. It'll
be about 12' by 22'. I'm trying to decide on a heat source for it. Fuel
will probably be natural gas. What do you use? I'm thinking it's
probably good to use a source that doesn't blow air around, but I'm not
sure how...

Feedback on Freeware glaze program by
jedi
Since the room is deadly quiet I'm going to ask if I can get some feedback
on the program I gave out. It would be nice to know what works and what
doesn't work for those of you using it. (I have yet to figure out how to
get the analysis done without exiting the weight box yet without it...

Naked Clay ? by
Roz Lacey
Getting away from the morons who send unwanted posts - can anyone advise how
naked clay effects are achieved. It sounds intriguing and must be a Yank
thing, as my Ceramics class pals, in UK have'nt heard of it. I know that it
is to allow the beauty of the clay to take precedence, but I haven't a...

Freeware glaze calculator available by
DKat
Ok, I think the program is good enough to put out as freeware. This is NOT
meant to replace the software available from DigitalFire or MC6. It will
basically be a way to get an idea of what chemicals are in your glazes and
be an easy and consistent way to save or read recipes.
If you want to try...

Creating a website (tips for potters?) by
Eric
When I look at some of your websites (e.g. Shambala etc) I get envious
at just a great way of reaching the public and sharing works with
fellow potters. But I don't have a clue how to make one (a website
that is) and don't have the dough to pay someone.
I know there must be a zillion books on...

Surface texture of finished Paper Clay piece? by
Eric
I just mixed my first batch of paper clay slip, and now I'll have to
wait a while for it to settle out then transfer to a plaster table for
more drying. I used toilet paper (new) because I remember hearing
somewhere that its fibers are smaller and therefore better for paper
clay. After several...

Opinion - Bisque Firing Cone 06 or 04 by
DKat
We have always bisque fired to cone 06. One of the potters has suggested
firing to cone 04 to help eliminate various glaze problems. Any opinions on
this?

Brent B for sale by
maggie green
Since my old worn out hands will no longer allow me to throw, I am offering
for sale my Brent model B wheel, with a brand new motor--for $600.00. I will
include the bats and splash pan and the stool. I am in the Tulsa, Ok. area
and it must be picked up--shipping would be outrageous!!

ID this vase or tell me if it's not been fired? by
jjs
It appears that this piece has never been fired. The surface is just a thin,
flat black. The top part has a vague bronze appearance.
Can you tell us anything about it?
