There's a skip full of IFB for free. Now to work out how many I can fit in my car/garden.

About to mix glaze for the first time in 3 years. Excited and terrified at the same time.
-
Glad you found some time for glazing again

I need to catch up with my glaze testing too, got distracted with a new job and lost the momentum.

Help! I'm trying to make a large circular slab piece ( on request) which is around 35cm across. I have attempted this 3 times and am now able to successfully bisque fire it, but during glaze firing ( to 1250) it has split, every time. Any suggestions that I might be able to implement, given I am a hobby potter using an electric kiln with preset firing programmes..?

Managed to double post somehow...

Hi Catherine, not quite sure how you ended up posting to my profile but you should start a new thread in Studio Operations and Making Work - https://community.ceramicartsdaily.org/forum/22-studio-operations-and-making-work/ should be an orangeish button saying "start new topic"

Moved!
We made it all the way to our new town* ok this last Sunday.
Most all our stuff is in storage whilst we stay with our Son and look for a new house. The movers left my wheel and a box of clay near the front, so I might set up to start making greenware** if I get bored, heh. ...no idea where my ribs, sponges, stick, chamois an' all are. However, this town has what appears to be a fully appointed Ceramic Supply store! !! It's open on Tuesday and Saturday, I want to go to there...
This was a nice space to work in.
That big window supplies a lot of light.
Lots of shelving, just enough counter space.
The next space, I'll need some heating/cooling, for it gets both hotter and colder here than Los Osos...
The back yard was coming along.
Just about everything needs a pruning.
I hope the new owners keep it up and, And, keep the bird feeder full...
There are many of the same small/songbirds here in Chico. Interesting that the House Finch here has a slightly different song than those in Los Osos.
*Chico, California
Where IMCO is just over a hundred miles away; I'll be able to make a clay run on little more than a whim!**I'd smashed a hundred fifty plus hours of work into buckets for reclaiming later on.

We had our computer bite the dust on our trip to Galveston TX, we paid the computer tech $100 to unload our old files to the new one. I had all of my glaze formulas printed out and in a binder in my studio, my husband hadn't saved anything. Denice

Good that you managed to save the files. Luckily I use Linux and you can boot into the operating system from a USB stick and sort it out from there otherwise I might have been doing the same and taking the drives to the local tech.

Once a thread is archived can it be undone? I know I should probably just start a new one >.< but I like my old ones.

I agree
not that I have anything to post in the bubble thread yet but I have plans to. If it is too complicated I can always link to the archived thread in the new one.

Found a house with space for a studio. Been a long 3-4 years with little to no pottery ;[
Excited :DD
-
Looking forward to being able to post some stuff here again
Few months and I should be set up. Have two weeks off work the end of next month as the factory is shutting down so plan to be moving in by then.

Both
I mean the reduction kiln is still a massive WIP so that will probably be on the back burner. Saying that so is my electric kiln controller. The only kiln that wasn't bodged by me needs a bit more juice so once I get that sorted it will be easy electric firings.

Finished four chapters, have drawn several charts and graphs. About 35% done! but have most outlines done. Took off Febuary and most of this month, have to go back shortly.
-
Is it a book on clay bodies? When can I buy it?
-
-
Oy. Has it really been six months since I've been on here???
-
Morning all. This is probably a basic question to many of you , but my Chemistry knowledge is not great and I would appreciate some help. Is it possible to change an earthenware clear gloss glaze (firing to 1100 centigrade) to a higher firing stoneware glaze (firing to 1200 centigrade) without knowing the formula of the original glaze. I am sure this question is answered in Digital Fire or somewhere on this forum, but I am feeling a bit lazy to search through- got too much playing in the studio to do!
-
Have you tried firing it up to 1200 and seeing if it works? Some glazes can have a wide 'workable' range.

After 1.5~ years working as a receptionist and saving money I have moved to Stoke-on-Trent to find a job in a pottery factory
-
Found a job as a belt attendant, lots of moving and stacking pots in the decorating department
not the most exciting work but better than answering the phone.

Falcon heavy launch, probably the best thing I have seen all year.

No never heard of it, I will have a try at watching it, seems like it could be up my street.

Still freezing. I hate 'pages". Working on a small catalogue & things keep disappearing. Grrrrr..... #$@&^%**!!! software. And no- you tube isn't helpful so far- grrrrrrrr

What kinds of things? Images? Not that I have every tried pages. Could always try open office, think that works on mac.

Finally, I got 8 items up in my website Shop. That means I now know how to do the next 100--all the behind-the-scenes integrated detail work involved, since no, you don't "just" upload a picture and slap a price on it!
-
I always hated trying to do that bit... Nice work

-
I am missing the moderators and key resource/info people who are (recently) not here anymore---the place just ain't the same.

Hopefully with some constructive discussion instead of opinion slinging matches
Always enjoy your discussions Nerd.

They are rebuilding a hydrogen kiln at work that has about 6 brick thick walls so there's plenty for me to sort through and find the good ones.
