  2. Here goes nothing! Just started my glaze fire a few days before my first show. My future is in the hands of the kiln gods...

  3. Spent yesterday with a group of Explorer Scouts. They dug raw clay, chopped it, slushed it, pounded it, made pinch pots. Going to "pit fire" next week. Such fun.

  4. Just turned on a bisque load- this one contains little handprints on slabs for my sons preschool class, they are my first slabs and have already warped a lot, but I need to get them done before school lets out this year.

      Ben- Probably the humidity. The thickest part was maybe 1/3 of an inch. Rakujane- thanks for the idea. I know nothing about working with slabs!

      I thought several weeks would be long enough. I guess I should wait even longer.

  12. *grumble* let my plates get too dry before trimming. Dangit!

  13. Frustrated was unable to trim yesterday's practice. I need to remind myself porcelain is quirky. I you can't rush poreclain. It took substandard trimming on a few pieces before I realized. Then it took me way to long to switch gears and be productive. :(

      I switch all the time between porcelain and stoneware. It's easier on my back to use porcelain. But I love making stoneware mugs and bowls.
