What? Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 Hello, I am new to the online forums and website stuff. I really enjoy this forum and the work people are doing here. I am wondering if there are any other good informative forums or websites to join or checkout? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiselleNo5 Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 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/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bciskepottery Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 http://www.potterymakinginfo.com/news/clay-communities/ 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flowerdry Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 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.

bciskepottery Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 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.

Denice Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
What? Posted January 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 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.

bciskepottery Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 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/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
