Looking good, how many colors are you going to use? I seen your wood firing albumn earlier today, nice work..

I like the wiggle wire bottoms. I'm usually all for a trimmed foot, but I do like that alternative. Looks like you will be busy glazin'.

Clear, oatmeal rust, shino with shino rio splash, falls creek shino, vc71 / crimson, VC 71/BOB, vc71/ fcs under randys red/ vc71/ local,ash glaze, local,ash glaze, / seaworld, / ice blue, / bob 2. I was shooting for 100 cups for a trunk show given just under a months notice. I thnk I'm shy of 80.. I realiize I'm no production potter. 20 cups max per,sitting was all I could muster. The wiggle wire while I like was subconcious decision not to trim.then I limited the number do cup...

not a satisfying firing.   learned much. overall poor results.

Those are the best firings sometimes. 

i agree joseph F   there were a few treats...  i post pics soon

On my agenda for tomorrow. 

on my agenda for every single day of the future. = )

Nice work!

Spring is here! Nice examples Biglou. I think I will glaze some slabs. The sun finally came out today.

Of course, we dare not call this 'fun' or 'playing with fire'...but as Ben says, "it's addictive".

I see custom tiles for oven back splash soon

Hi, haven't made in awhile buts yes still making, never used mark and daves .... Who makes that.... It's been about a year since throwing porcelain, I had it figured out second day....clay was too wet day one. And it took a day for "it" to click....... I'm throwing a modified Cushing/Galloway body.

Daves is a Laguna porcelain body-you can get it at Axners in FL.Its not as bright white as some.

Dang right, you are! Just start small. Overburdening oneself from commissions will make you crazy!

Congrats

There are a lot of metrosexual men out there who are as high maintenance as porcelain! : )

I switch all the time between porcelain and stoneware. It's easier on my back to use porcelain. But I love making stoneware mugs and bowls.

Any sort of clay in the Spring time can be quirky as you never know if the moisture level in the air is going to slow or speed drying. Spring is the thing, not the clay

Wonderful. Any other places that might be available?

still looking desperately

I should have sent my tea pot to you.. I got a little to deep and well, you know what happened..

Teapot becomes flower pot?

Tea pot is in salvage bucket.. It could have been a flower pot, I was kinda flustered at myself though..

Omg isn't that just the best feeling in the world? Huge congrats!!!
