[A go to Clear Glaze]

Hi Everyone, 

You're always so helpful so I had a question. I need a go to high gloss clear dipping glaze cone 5/6. Ideally something sold as a dry glaze that I can purchase by the lb and mix up myself. I see a lot out there but I figured I'd ask what people are using first. 

I started teaching workshops and I clear glaze the pieces after bisque firing for the students (as it's a one time session) and I love the shine of Amaco LG-10 clear gloss but it's just becoming too cumbersome to brush these pieces with clear all the time. 

Thanks in advance!

Ah ok that's what I figured, thanks!

Hi I have a shelf or two that's empty in my glazefire, can I put some pieces in there that need to be bisque fired eventhough I'm firing that to cone 5? I usually bisque to cone 04. I just don't have any other glazed pieces right now and what's loaded is time sensitive, so I need to fire it this weekend. (student work)

I would speak to businesses in your area about the process. From my understanding about the US, it can vary by region, so it’s best to get info from someone close to home. 

As far as taxes go, find a recommendation for an accountant who knows how to handle creative businesses, and have them set you up with a system. Make sure this accountant will be available to answer questions in a reasonable time frame when they com up, and make sure the system works with your brain and work habits. I prefer to do my own bookkeeping so I can keep an eye on my income and expenses, but farm out my filing. 

thanks for the tip!

Contact your local small business association and ask for help.

 We set up and still run ours as an LLC. The creation process is a pain but after that it's easy.

Taxes on the other hand, I was brought to tears trying to figure it out, we just pay someone to do it.

luckily my husband works in accounting, thank you for the advice

Hi Everyone, 

You have all been so helpful in the past so I'm hoping you can help with this. It's time for my ceramic business to become an LLC. I didn't a little research online and there are some third parties that I see assist with this but I'm not sure where to start or who to trust. Can anyone help point me in the direction?

Also what is a registering agent? That a lawyer?

 

Thank you!
