Crossing my fingers for a good glaze tile somewhere in the kiln. Been trying out some new ideas. 100 degrees and the lid is open
Time for a snack while they cool down. -
A new video
-
lovely! And i like the music compilation! I plan to make a pot with 'she's crafty" playing. I just suck at video editing and have no idea how to add music
-
I use Adobe premier pro to edit. Adding music is quite easy, you have video tracks and audio track and once you have imported in the audio to the software you just drag in into the track. I am sure most software will be a similar thing but I have not used any others. Whatever software you choose I am sure there will be many tutorials explaining how to use it.

Made my first sale on Etsy
feels good.- Show previous comments 2 more
-
Woo woo. The first of many hopefully.
-
Well done! Good feeling when someone clearly likes your work enough to buy it?
-
Thank you, it feels even better when it was somebody I did not know or had tried advertising the fact I was on etsy to.
-
Fired my new kiln for the first time. One glaze still looks about the same o.0 Think I also messed up the cobalt carbonate.
-
Sitting patiently waiting for my kiln to be delivered. And by that I mean 3 cups of coffee and me running round the studio not wanting to make any work till it gets here xD
-
The master has failed more times than the beginner has even tried.
-
hope for us??

I can't stop looking on ebay for cheap kilns. I think I have a problem... maybe. I just found a 75 litre kiln for £100! Do I travel the 200 miles to go and buy it :g

There's a rule that says you need x+1 of whatever it is you're hankering after.
-
More like x = x + 1

Road Trip!!!
-
Had so many test tiles out the little kiln recently. Lots of options but nothing I am looking for. I am not even sure what I am looking for until I see it.
-
I have the same problem, I'm always sure I know what I want. I can never find that perfect glaze. Denice

Feel like doing some zen practice after this night shift is over. Might have to put some clay on to recycle then go for a nap first!

I pick a shape and throw it 5 times, then another 5 with little changed to the form. After this I put them all back into the recycle and hopefully have a good idea of what form I am going to make multiples of. It didn't work out today. I made two and gave up and went onto preparing some test glazes instead.

Nice method.
-
Waiting round for my new wheel to be delivered. What better than to order The Kiln Book while I wait
Note to self, remember to cancel amazon prime before I have to pay.-
Wheel arrived but they managed to forget to put the plug on! Guess I won't be using it till that arrives in the post

Anybody with a Skutt wheel used the cuphead plaster batt system and is it any good?
-
Well I have purchased a skutt and very excited for it arriving on Wednesday :DD
Now I have a big hole where my money once was but it will be worth it when 20 years down the line it is still going strong.

Late night purchase of Kanthal A1 wire. How hard can it be to make an element?

We found the tricky part was figuring out the length to cut the wire.
-
Good luck, cut longer rather than shorter!
How hard.....for me out of the question.
-
Well the wire has arrived
£6 for 50m. Hopefully that will make the two elements that I need. Need some insulating fire bricks now! They are a lot more of my hard earned money
-
First time I have done a proper cone test in my kiln. Turns out the bottom is hotter than the top. Weird. I guess that big gap between the lid and body needs to be filled!
-
Soory about the regional comments, old ex scot here, love the geordie accent!
-
I lived on the south coast for 3 years so I am used to it
Where people believe anything past London is north. -
Only when you go past Watford are you "up north". Says the southern softie daughter of a Geordie.

-
After three successful glaze firings without any of the wires getting hot I finally trust that the kiln is fixed! Happy days. Time to start making money

kiss the kilngod!
-
My kilngod effigies have been reduced to sitting on a shelf as they were not very good at protecting the kiln. They glare at me from afar but I just laugh and start quoting V=IR
-
don't tempt them, you may need them in future, even if just to cuss!
-
Stuck at work on night shift... Anybody got some links to good ceramics reading online? I feel like I have read everything I can find.

google British potters then you can drop into people in different parts of the UK as well!
-
Chris, great website of Julia Galloways'! The Field Guide is priceless.
-
I love to look at youtube kiln opening videos and learn about glaze results people have. I get inspiration and start drawing out ideas.
Time for a snack while they cool down.
