  1. Love the gesture in all of these... and those fingers on the Ladies In Waiting!
  2. These are great. Your whole gallery is fun.
  3. In atmospheric firings it prevents the salt, wood ash, etc from forming a glaze there. In other firings, like cone 6 electric, some clays, especially porcelains, fuse together if there's not a thin layer of refractory material there. She could have used wadding on her boxes but alumnia is usually handy and easy. Jim
  4. I like it, too and would like to know more about it.
  5. It's just a good clay. It has a nice, rough texture and a great range of colors depending of how high it is fired. Obviously, never really becoming vitrified is a negative.

  6. Nice. How tall are they?
  7. Thanks, Idaho. That's very kind of you and I appreciate it.

  8. You say she's been your student for several weeks but that's only several hours of class time if you only meet 1.5 hrs/week. She has just enough time to forget most of what she has learned by the next class. Copying is one way people learn. Since you don't have any pictures in your profile gallery, I don't know if your pots are worth copying or not, but there is nothing wrong with a beginning potter copying other potters. If she is intelligent and creative she will only use that as a way to grow and find her own way with clay. If she's not then who cares? Surely you aren't worried about people mistaking her pots for yours! Look at the stuff that comes out of Steven Hill workshops. Almost everyone tries to make Steven Hill pots. I assume he doesn't discourage it. After all, they are there to learn his techniques--not only throwing but using slip, spraying his glazes, and once-firing. But, no one who knows anything about pottery would ever mistake anything that comes out of those workshops for a Steven Hill pot. Jim
  9. Are you kidding me! This software subs lines and scratches for "########".
  10. Thanks, Nancylee and TJR.

  11. Thanks for for starting my morning off nicely with you comment.

  12. Very translucent. It's hard to photograph that. If you're familiar with them, how does it compare to Frost and Southern Ice, the two most translucent porcelains I've ever seen? Jim
