      Were Airstreams built in Kansas? What's the connection b/n clay conferences and trailers? I lived in an Airstream in 1960 for à couple of years!!! I guess they'd make a nice pottery studio!

      I love seeing Christmas decorations in different countries. I have a collection of international ornaments. How many people go to hardware stores to shop in Paris? At the Millennium we celebrated Christmas three times because we went to Armenia after celebrating on Dec. 25, then we celebrated on the traditional day in Armenia and then again because of the old calendar in Armenia. They ceremoniously slaughtered sheep for the feast at the churches. Armenia is the oldest Christian country predat...

      how much clay?

      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.
