Hi! :) Welcome!

 

This is by far my favorite forum, very welcoming and lots of nice, helpful, talented people on here. There is a wide range from beginners to veterans of 50+ years. I'm a beginner and I'm always treated very kindly and given valuable advice.

My next favorite is Lakeside Pottery's site. I find it to be informative and educational with tons of cool projects. http://www.lakesidepottery.com/Pages/Pictures/Handbuilding-projects-ideas-pictures.html

 

I also was surprised to find how much information Big Ceramic Store's site has on techniques and troubleshooting. I really like their How-To section: http://www.bigceramicstore.com/how-to/

There are a multitude of forums and groups . . . both internet, Facebook, etc. Some are general, some of specialized (e.g., crystalline glazes, cone 6 glazes, majolica, wood-firing, salt/soda firing). The first group I joined was Clayart . . . lots of good information, terrific archives, but a lot of strong individuals.

There are numerous clay groups you can join through facebook.  I think Clay buddies is the biggest and most general.

 

I noticed that the (fairly) new Clayart forum appears to be lightyears away from becoming (per their own prediction) the premier clay forum.

Clayart was the forerunner of CAD and was supported for many years by ACERS. When ACERS went to the current blog-style approach, the Clayart group migrated to another server (actually, the group "resides" on Paragon's servers). You'll can find the Clayart group at NCECA.

Electric Cone 6 and other ways with clay forum.  It is a good forum for someone who works with C5/6 oxidation glazes, they have groups that test glazes and try to improve them if needed.  The also have a nice gallery set up where potters comment or ask questions,  there isn't any question and answer area but you can ask a question of a group.  You can look at the site but need to join if you want to comment or as a question.  Denice

Thank you for your responses. I like Lakeside as well. I will have to check out Clayart. I guess I should bite the bullet and set up a facebook page thing, and get that Pintrest thing too; there are a lot of images on that site.

 

Keep them coming if you got some more.

Two sites I use for a lot of technical info:

 

https://iweb.tntech.edu/wpitelka/

 

http://lindaarbuckle.com/

 

Both are ceramics instructors at universities, as well as potters in their own right.  Their handouts are excellent, accurate, and understandable.  John Britt has a website that is also chock-full of good information.  http://johnbrittpottery.blogspot.com/

 

And Julia Galloway offers a guidebook full of good information.  http://juliagalloway.com/field-guide/
