Well I understand the sentiments expressed by all. Is it pride, ego or what at play? Any pot made by the potter is a minute spec on her/his path. So you are not happy with that spec and you move on.... You value the spec , sell it You're not happy with it does it matter if some else uses it. Today one only has to Google the potter and you can see the pots of the potter and what ones the potter is happy selling. So what is at play? My cupboard is full of mug seconds . Friends ask why that one is a second and I fill them in. We all drink our tea happily. My cupboard fills. Least used. .op shop. Or fence post. We all like finding treasures -
Yeh, not happy with it toss it. I put a number of them on fence posts on the roads around here and they vanish. Planet too depleted to smash stuff which some else had use for. I do put such. In some and donate to street stalls for various charities. I made a commemorative book ,2 actually, not happy with one I contacted the client and told her to find another potter. She did. So months later I dropped off her pot details, my stencils And the cracked book. Never do this. She then cancelled her order with other potter and she displays my flawed pot in her guesthouse, all for free And to my distaste.

Oh So beautiful Karenk! -
Well 41Degrees C here tomorrow, only got to 35 today, Pots ready to trim before y'get them off the wheel. Shed a sauna, off for a long drink of tea, the best on a hot night.
Tomorrow, my turn to sit in a gallery, sounds fine.
-
yes, I have established the basic shape with fingers, then finish the bellying with CD from top to bottom, last touch of rim and that's it. this way I know the rim can handle the expansion of the interior.
-
I use a CD as a rib for bowls but have always worked from top down when doing the shaping, any thoughts on this?

HI Andrea, lovely pots, I have never tried spraying but you have had quite a success here. Well Done! Gold Lustre! wow, so three firings? Is the lustre a reduced firing? -
sorta one step on from apple cooker, with Min on the one pot must be versatile in use to make it in my kitchen, same technique with bit extra, a candle stick holder, made by then opening centre core of clay , pulling up, turning down for flat rim, doing same to outer rim, attaching a little handle , wee Willie winkie style.

Don't know how to see Members' gallery
-
Go to the browse tab at the top, then there is a sub area called Gallery.
-
yeh but in old forum you could go to everyone's albums in Members where there was an alphabetical list of all members and one could access their albums not just recent uploads..
-
When you go to the Gallery, click on the box at the top left box labeled "Members Gallery". It is all members with gallery pics and has 42 pages, though not alphabetical by member name or the avatar name.

-

One heck of a story to tell folks!

Compression tights sound like handy things to have on!

Holy wow! I didn't know koalas could be vicious

What size are these slabs Old lady? -
So you're adding the oxides after Glaze application? Oxides to a clear glaze? Recharge/discharge chemistry? -
Are you spraying your glazes, I don't get the unevenness of the green glaze application on the main body of the glaze..
-
Lucky owner, just don't let the cat knock it off the shelf! -
fantastic, both glazes scarily thick? -
Maybe make a little stamp that you impress near the bottom of pot at leatherhard time..

never gets warm up in Newcastle. Sounds good for quick dry pots, maybe too good.
