      I am afraid if I use porcelain I would accidentally put in my puugger with stoneware. And that would be very very bad or very very good, LOL.

      What porcelain do you use?

    4. Marcia Selsor

      Marcia Selsor

      I am using Bray porcelain ^6 for glazed ware. For saggar firings I use Coleman, Babu, Nara. I have Nara for ^5 and ^10. I have some black clay I want to experiment with and I have some of Nerd's ^6 porcelain cream cheese. I mix my own raku clay but got some Piepenberg raku from a friend here. Too many types, but I do a lot of different tye firing.

      that is a good idea. I was working on cleaning and moving things to the storage area in the kiln shed. Always something needs to be done. Got some cinderblocks today for the base of my raku kiln and figured out partial weatherproofing for it.

  8. I like this glaze. I worked on it to match the ^10 celadon reduction fired that I made in Hawaii. See next image.

      Ron Sa, I called his office and the receptionist told me there wasn't one. -quite bluntly.

      Would recommend listening to " Home" by Karla Bonoff. Think this song sums up those feelings.

      Dogs sorta become your kids after awhile. And like kinds, very hard to watch them suffering.

      very hard and feeling helpless. Nitroglycerine seems to help during his worst moments at night. sitting out in the fresh mountain air and sunshine seems to help him the most.

      my Gen practitioner referred me to a Sports medicine place but called last night to follow up. She got me in to see the specialist coming to red lodge this friday. So that speeds things up.

      I imagine that there were quite a few changes in materials over the years!

  15. what part of your production do you feel is the most creative outlet in the overall from start to finish. From the first design , to making, decorating ,trimming, bisque, more decorating, glaze, firing, presenting/selling/ marketing? Marcia
