Another tip would be to leave a “button” in the center bottom of the plate. You can find some images of Steven hills plates/platters to get the idea.

Yes I would recommend doing it on low /slow

I’m attending his figure sculpting workshop in Sarasota fl next week. Has anybody here been to one of his workshops before? It says all tools included but I’m tempted to take some with me.
I’m going to make an event of it and booked an opera to see for Friday. ❤️ -
Another option if somebody is in the Midwest, at MIAD my cousin teaches a mold making class (which I took to gain basic knowledge)

Once on a sculpted piece I used a paper clay slip to glue back on a piece that came off during the bisque fire.
take thick slip from the bottom or sides from your throwing bucket. Then take some toilet paper (cheap thin stuff works better in this case) and shred it into the slip. You can add a drop of peroxide and a big squeeze of Elmer’s glue and if it’s too thin add more thick slip. The clay/toilet paper combo will absorb both sides together and help them actually bind with the clay.
only rule I would say is that once I ever repair a piece, it’s for me and never for sale. -
My zinc has been a huge problem. I have used a mortar and pestal by hand for small amounts but I have a decent amount. Is there an easier way to process this at home without having any special equipment?

For the life of me I can’t find the messenger inbox. I have used it before… did it go away? Thanks!

This forum was important to me when I first began working with clay. I found it before I found any clay community both online and in person. You are in great hands here.

I had it stuffed to the gills and there was quite a bit (like 1.5 lbs) in the overflow chamber. I think I have about 20 lbs that came out but the chamber does look like there is quite a bit left. I wonder if I’m just expecting more than I am going to get .
-
I just set up my vpm9ss today.
everything seemed to be working fine except it seems like less than half the chamber is emptying when I pug. The vacuum pressure maintains the entire time so it doesn’t seem like that is causing the issue.
Does anybody have an idea of what I could be doing wrong? Thanks -

@Rebekah Krieger, you said you are looking for “seamless” results. Can you expand on what you mean by that? When combining more than one glaze on a pot, there’s almost always going to be a seam. Though @Pres has a great suggestion about softening seams with sprayed glazes. Or, are you overlapping multiple glazes, where one glaze completely covers another glaze? In this case, the result will be seamless no matter what.
Or, are you asking which glazes look nice next to each other, more in a “harmonious” way rather than “seamless”?
Yes, you can see a distinct line where I did the layering. (Sprayed)

I have been learning glaze chemistry, but an area that overwhelms me is layering/combining glazes. I don’t feel like my results look seamless. Perhaps it’s the types of glazes I am trying to put together. Is there a rule of thumb on what kinds generally look nice together or any resources? I feel like I could continue in a hamster wheel if I don’t get some direction on what to test, because at this point I’m testing everything. Thanks!
I enjoy the combination of semi matte and glossy but I especially like it when I get surprise interesting surfaces with crystals etc., -
I’ve been looking to buy a used Stainless Peter pugger. If you are looking to sell, please contact me shanelpottery@gmail.com

I am lucky that I am able to participate in his “journey” workshop this year. It’s all about developing your voice as a potter. Has anyone here taken it?
I took a class with him last year. His critiques work for any aesthetic and the perspectives I got about my own work has helped me “see” things that I didn’t notice before… things like lines, and flow.
I am huge admirer of mike Strumbras’ work and didn’t realize Steven worked with him.The workshop requires 2 books to be read before it starts. “Big magic” and “steal like an artist”.
After reading steal like an artist, it says to write down all the artists that you admire (and research them), things you prefer, things you have always loved etc. So far, writing these things down has given me more clarity than I expected. I feel like a world has opened up to me and I want to explore so many more things in my work (fresco style architecture, Heironomous Bosch inspired everything, and dark /misunderstood topics)Long story short, I would love you to ask, who is your favorite artist/maker/writer etc… and what would they make if they were working in clay today? Have you taken his workshop? I would also love to hear what happened for you during: thanks!

Thanks for sharing. What a great teacher, easy to follow.

working on some handle attachments. I prefer pulling off the pot, but this shape wanted a pulled and attached handle.
