High Bridge Pottery

I had a load you could have had.  Essex tho'.  

Thank you for the offer but it is a bit of a drive from here They are rebuilding a hydrogen kiln at work that has about 6 brick thick walls so there's plenty for me to sort through and find the good ones.

I agree  not that I have anything to post in the bubble thread yet but I have plans to. If it is too complicated I can always link to the archived thread in the new one.

Hi Joel, admin thinks it best to link your archived thread to a new one. Saves a few problems. Thanks.

Thank you for finding out the answer  thought that was probably the case but I had to ask.

So happy for you Joel! 

Looking forward to being able to post some stuff here again   Few months and I should be set up. Have two weeks off work the end of next month as the factory is shutting down so plan to be moving in by then.

Isn't it nice when a factory shut down works to your advantage.    The company my husband worked for shut down at Christmas for two weeks every year.  Most people used some of their vacation time,  one year they shut down  for over a month.  My husband was promised a job when they reopened  so we decided to take a long vacation in New Mexico and Texas.  We did a no maps, reservations, computers  trip and the areas we were in didn't have cell phone service.   We found ourselves at the strangest little towns and tourist attractions.  Now that he is retired I hope to do it again.   Denice

How fun! Lucky you!

Enjoy the trip! 

Enjoy. 

Found a job as a belt attendant, lots of moving and stacking pots in the decorating department  not the most exciting work but better than answering the phone.

It's a foot in what may be a very big door for you...GOOD LUCK!

YAY! Fanfreakingtastic! Best of luck to you.

Envy.  As a kid, I saw a mid-'50's rocket launch from the swamp (with quicksand--I remember my aunt warning me not to go wading) directly across from Cape Canaveral. Have never forgotten the awe and majesty of that. I think about that uplifting (pun intended) experience sometimes when I am feeling really down about the idiocy/greed/hatefulness of the human species. 

Would love to see one in person, it was awesome just watching the live stream.

My husband, son and I were vacationing in Orlando and went to see a Space shuttle launch.  They had been having trouble with the shuttle so launches weren't happening very often.  We took a chance and got up at 3 in the morning and drove to a look out point.   They almost cancel it three times and then decided to launch,  the roar of the engine was impressive but the shaking of the ground so far away was amazing.  We could have been a launch guest,  my husband's second cousin was head of the space shuttle program.  We decided to watch from a distance and not bother him even though other family members had.  My in-laws were special guest to see the Hubble telescope launched into space.    Denice

You back in action?

My test kiln is still waiting on me 'finishing' the software so it works well. Keep getting a few weeks of inspiration then a good few weeks lacking any urge to program. Too cold and dark now to fire the gas kiln.

Yea. Well I wish you luck figuring that out! I am sure you will nail it down soon enough. 

good luck!

They would be lucky to have you as a researcher.

Stay safe over there.

In the last 40 years under 2% of deaths from terrorism have been in western europe. Very safe over here.

Yea I know it is, just dont like seeing all the people getting hurt in the news recently. Hate is so awful.

Not had any time to run any new tests. Just old bisque pots from my studio and same with the glaze. My matte white came out pretty clear which was interesting.

Going to have a ponder over your post but I will get back to you. Needs some thinking time, also food is ready xD

Back in the pottery biz once more? Glad to see you back to firing.

To far away for me

No job from denby ;[

We are VERY glad you have sashayed into this forum!

Joel, I was talking to a friend this morning and she suggested "reporting" the hacking of your account. Apparently IG can "clean up" your account.

I don't have an Instagram account but received an email from them last week, so something might be going on here in the uk. Never had anything to do with it before this.

Good to see you back.

glad you are back at it : )

Oh man I missed the last one!

It wasn't well seasoned

I'm still trying to get things done outside. By the time I get home from work, the light is already dwindling.

4pm here :-(

Now its 5pm and its dark

Used to say. . .move the clay, don't let it move you!

good luck!

Thank you Sent off the application today so hopefully they will give me an interview.

Are you back in clay?!

Slowly although the kiln is in my bedroom with no ventilation... A little problem.

Ha. No problem. Who needs sleep?

I had to move out the studio due to lack of money so working in admin full time till I have a good chunk of money behind me. Always learning Min if it was simple as a hop I would be there!

help out at a school or community center just to keep your hand in?

I actually got the first edition for about $10 second hand.

Cool. Looks good. I might get it in the future. I will check my local libraries.

I see your video. Seaside Mug

Just managed to get it up using 4g, something to do with my slow home internet not working.

Dots ........>>..>>..>>>...

Wax on, wax off?

...

Hang tough Joel: you will make it work. I do understand the experimenting aspect: I have a few Frankenglazes out there.

Sucks big time. Best wishes.

U can make great work anywhere mate.

Had it open and I managed to crack about 25% of the pots. It did go from room temp to 400c in 30 min on the lowest setting. I need a smaller burner for the very start I think. All cone 9's and 10's down except right at the flue where cone 10 was starting to go.

stinks about the pots cracking but part of testing! how did the ones that didn't crack turn out? Wonderful stuff? You will figure out the firing stuff, look how far you have came!

Joel- consider yourself a Trekkie- boldly going where no potter has gone before.
