Finally taking the plunge into ceramics...


Recommended Posts

Welcome to the forum Wuvie!

Not sure if my penny's work is of any help or not. Would love to see some pictures of your projects when you have them!

Welcome again!

 

 

Thank you so much, Jeri! I can't wait to start, and to share, and to learn even more! :)

I found a few sites online that discuss Once or Single Fire glazing methods.

Kelly, thank you! I would really like to try the Single Fire method on smaller projects such as refrigerator

magnets, medallions, etc. and think this will work wonderfully! I appreciate the links! :)

Hi all.

 

First of all...... welcome Karen..... glad to have you participate in this forum.

 

I noticed a recommendation in this thread to use dry talc to act as a resist to wet clay sticking to metal. If you are considering this, you might want to research a bit about the raw material TALC and the concerns that exist about potential asbestos contamination in the product. This issue has been discussed in the ceramic community for that past few years.

John, thank you for the warm welcome and the great advice.

 

As someone with sensitive lungs, (trying to fight my way out of pneumonia as I type this)

I can't take chances with dusts, powders and such. I truly appreciate your post!
