Trimming yes handles maybe they are all yunomi sized
-
Well, you can pull several long, consistently thick handles, and then cut them into small sections to fit on the smaller wares. I guess it all depends on whether not you are keeping them, in which case your desired vessel-type will dictate the need for a handle. Or, if they will just be recycled, in which case get some handle practice, while you can.

True I need practice pulling handles. Went to trim today cylinders almost bone dry. . I'll make more

Frustrated was unable to trim yesterday's practice. I need to remind myself porcelain is quirky. I you can't rush poreclain. It took substandard trimming on a few pieces before I realized. Then it took me way to long to switch gears and be productive.

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

First raku (western raku). Me likes. See gallery

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".

Wedged about 70 pounds of clay today, if I'm to continue to make my own clay I think I'll need a pugmill, and a mixer

2 on sale right now. Local one is 1500' over priced. Second one is $500 but but 12 hours away!?

Almost worth it to drive twelve hours....
I will say though, the Walker is not de-airing.
-
I'll need a truck to move it. Not only is it large but I'm sure it's heavy

Built a few pinch shot glasses, Waiting to fire/bisque....may join new group studio tommorow
-
The epk based clay is grey brown wet, but very white when dry. Less plastic than I expected, more meticulous pinch pots. But doable. Porcelain (ish) clay can be finicky. Wood fire next month
Which is what clay is designed for.
