    Look out for fumes, eh. Downwind, no neighbours @Marcia Selsor is the queen of all this. Sounds like folk dilute FeCl3 before spraying. V toxic.

    What lovely plates and mug. Your work? Think that aspect was a bug part of first posts but love it anyway.

    Indeed. Teaching! Makes one anlyse what is done intuitively and isolate the key points. Tennis pro had us play with left hand if right handed to emphasise what faced a complete beginner. Not quite the same but certainly was effective re wat was resllh impIrtant for success

    I need to read it to retain it. My way of learning. Videos interesting, may pick up a couple of things, but I don't retain it the same. Canread at certain speed, reread a sentence, refer back or forward easily, But being in remote area, I use whatever I canatthe time.

    Can place a top shelf between lid and pots but doesn't stop yhe hazard re inhling the airborne fibres. Ceramic buttons wired through to out side i e. Top of lid can hold it firmly in place. Wear a mask with this lid.

    Well Lee, it deoends on my mood and what is in my mund. If the piece ends not fulfilling my brain then ut is diced, plant bound or killed ! at whatever stage the discord occurs. Otherwise it tends to grate on me forecer, or whenever I come across it. I rmember dining at a friends when one of my flawed pieces was staring atf me across yhe room I quietly bagged it and made another one. Friend didnt like ut as much but I "owned" it, didn't I

    A question Neil. Why is your splash pan full of bits of clay? Have you thrown a few already of have you a technique for big pot throwing which makes these knobs multiply:-))) Do you add sausages?

    Check out Greg Daly, Linda Arbuckle, John Britt and a few others. Majolica work. On glaze decorators. The glaze itself can alter greatly your results. Initially put your washes on top third of your vertical surfaces..runming glazes not much fun on shelves of kiln. Lots of fun ahead!!

    Hamer also! I greab that book all the time. Alwayz nr my favourite chair. Latest dive was to read up on Plasticity. Purchased tonne of clay onlyto find it a whole lot shorter than evr before. Waiting for supplier to open up from annual break. Really not wanting to deal with bag after bag of short clay. Cracking on wedging for goodness sake. Hands cramping tonight, Excellent book.

    My logic is opinion only too Pres. My logic goes with the escape route for the air still exists and with careful drying, and acceptable rate of firing "should" allow air to escape through the usual pathways. But if the process is sorted as so many have written about, should go ok. Dont know how you'd test for this one.....

    To gentle on attaching. Scoring should disappear on joining pieces together.
  20. Babs
    Air doesn't cause explosions, moisture does. Score your piece one direction ,attachments right angle scoring to first direction, slip deflocced and wiggle each piece into place hand inside and firm pressure. Bet the one which survived was first constructed as stuff drys out waiting, waiting . I sprigg attach thus and then go over sprigg and edges of join with slip...nothing trapped inside so that part of your assembling not the problem. Stuff too dry to start with could be. My main body usually softer..wetter than sprigg..like handle to mug. Basically need to meld attachment to body of pot firmly , if try to detach after joining, should be difficult and messy.
  21. Babs
    could there have been moisture still lurking in the applied joins so on bisquing the attached pieces popped off?
