  1. Another successful PBS art auction this year with another 3 horsehair Raku pots selling for over $300...

  2. I saw a post you had in January that you purchased a Pacifica wheel   in 1972. I just purchased a Pacifica wheel probably about the same age. The wheel is a GT500, contacted Laguna and they have never heard of a gt500.

    I am trying to find out what hp the motor is and was wondering if you happen to know.

    Thanks   Ron

  3. I am relatively new to ceramic arts as a whole and VERY new to making my own glazes.

  5. Well....all done. Went out and turned it onto High finally. Fifteen minutes later, it shut off. The gap in the front of the lid was up to about a half inch.

      very nice studio and work done in it!  your wife should be very happy there.   she needs a nice, padded cushion on the stool.  she will sit on it for a long time and being comfortable helps a lot.

      it looks like you found a great kiln for her on craigslist, too.

      the reward for doing all that work is to be expected to do more.   fortunately, you will both enjoy working together to make beautiful things.   you are a lucky man.

  8. Yay---my slab roller handle was not functioning and I was stymied on how to fix it. It was getting me down, really! A friend came by and within 3 minutes had it working again.  Something about using the Allen wrench in the right place! :lol:

  9. Packed for Big show-van weighs over 11K now with pots and tanks and lead weight belts and  underwater cameras-its a slow drive north in am.

  11. Can pebeo ceramic paints be used as underglaze? 

  12. Just got notification that "Another Horsehair Raku Trio" was accepted for this year's PBS station art auction. They were happy to get the new contribution since last year's went over so well.

  13. Found a house with space for a studio. Been a long 3-4 years with little to no pottery ;[

    Excited :DD

      congratulations on finding a house!   a real, free-standing on its own land house?   they are hard to come by anywhere especially in england!    even if it is a hole in the wall, it will be a hole you can work in, that will make you happy.:D

  16. Hey! Welcome back, Preeta! I missed your contributions. What are you up to now?

  17. Annual clay order comes in next week. 33,000 #s total -my share is 25,000#s.I odered a ton of dry glaze in 50# bags my formula-lasts me 5 years-I mix another 14 glazes to go along with it.

  18. Working on a soft blue glaze today to celebrate the gender of my baby on the way. I think I might do some limited edition work in a very soft robins egg blue since that is my favorite mason stain to date. Finally getting some time in the studio again. Life is crazy.

  19. I burnt hand in the kitchen again! I'm getting a set of protective raku style gear for the kitchen :angry:

    Plus its such a bad time to have an injury!

  21. Just shipped my first commissioned Horsehair Raku jar with very positive review...

  22. Finished four chapters, have drawn several charts and graphs. About 35% done! but have most outlines done. Took off Febuary and most of this month, have to go back shortly.

  23. I've been doing pottery for 10 weeks at the Pioneer Crafthouse at SLC.

  24. It's a bit chilly here this week and my wheel is in a shed that is outdoors with a gas heater. -27C so maybe I should think of something else to do.

      terri, were you ever a weatherperson in florida???  their vocabulary list contains only two words,  "chilly" or "warm".  it is NEVER cold or hot.    i think your temp reading places you in the definitely instantly freezing category.
