Since it is difficult to keep the iron particles in suspension, maybe it would be better to spray the glaze without the iron and then sprinkle the iron particles with a salt shaker onto your pot while the glaze is still wet...

Is the wheel head metal (usually aluminum) or a composite? My old CI wheel has a composite head and there is no way I would take a heat gun or torch to it.

Your best bet here would be to fire the piece to ^10...then paint it with the colors you want with a final clear coat. You wouldn't even have to use Hi-temp paints this way. I saw some really cool looking pieces that a potter had on display and when I asked how she got the brilliant colors, she said she just used acrylic spray paints with a final clear finish!

Over the past 8 years my wife and I have contributed to our local PBS TV Art Auction. My contributions have been photography and Raku pottery, while hers was a "Wine lover's Birdhouse" which was a birdhouse whose walls were covered with wine labels and the roof with corks, the perch was a corkscrew. This year we are going to collaborate. I'm going to make a Horsehair Raku lamp base and she is going to do a lampshade covered with wine labels. We've done this in the past with a very large wine bottle as the base and her label covered shade. it will be interesting to see what kind of reaction we get to the project.

Help! Releasing clay off of cup hump mold.

Is the wood form straight or tapered? In the photo it looks like it is wider at the top than the bottom. How was the body of the wood fabricated and how is it attached to the base? WHat are the dimensions of the wood cylinder? Can you send a photo of the wood form without the clay? -

The Great Canadian Pottery Throwdown
JohnnyK replied to Min's topic in Educational Approaches and Resources
If I understand correctly, if you have a VPN (Virtual Private Network), you can decide to operate it out of a Canadian location and should be able to get the Canadian broadcasts unless it is run on a cable channel for which you have to pay. -
Welcome to the Forum, Ariel...Are you sure it was ^06 and not ^6, and are we talking F or C temps? What does the owner's manual indicate for the Error 1?

I noticed, @Min, that the tool you ordered is made of tungsten steel where the Bison tools are tungsten carbide. So I thought I'd do a little research and I found some interesting info here: Tungsten Steel vs Tungsten Carbide | Be-cu.com. It may or not influence your choice.
