Outdoor shows take a certain amount of courage.

Lol Ohhhh no!

Probably a little late, but heck, congratulations. You can did it?

I think glazes for 0xidation cost more than reduction because you use a higher percentage of metallic oxides for the colorants. It isn't a matter of temperature.

and you don't need frits. You use more fluxes like Neph Syn. Spars,

Thats it!! According to the Equal Oxidation Act of 1964, kiln environments must not show bias towards reduction. I will be filing a complaint with the National Frit Review. Board.

<-- Doesn't flash. Rarely runs. Cracks up occasionally. Bottom is too thick.

"cracking" up over here!

Sauna and a show!! -whistles!-

Next time, give em a coat of under glaze.

LOL I have a magnifier with a lamp for making stamps and I'll try to blow little bits of clay away and end up steaming up the magnifier instead. Every. Single. Time.

Check the member gallery. Got one headed for red in oxidation. Few hundred more attempts perhaps.

Oooooh no. I used to clean the floor drains at the restaurant where I worked but I still think clay stank can be worse. I'll definitely take studio cleaning any day.

I did not now anyone who knew Tom Sawyers voice-did't he die long ago??Maybe thats why the trap stinks

I'll be there as soon as I can remember where I parked my flying carpet.

LOL @GiselleNo5 !

@alabama you gotta do what works for you!

@Diesel Clay...that's a deadline i will miss, dagnabit!

At least you don't talk yourself out of applying altogether like I do.

@firenflux Oh, no!!

Medium size peter pugger would take about 2 hours

...munch munch munch, spit. And repeat.

first try the dropping on all sides. If it doesn't soften it up, then do the water in a bag. Coleman is very thixotropic and hardens on the outside. Mine softens when I drop it...twice on each side. Worth a shot.

You said it was borderline hard. That's what mine feels like before I drop it. Otherwise I could never wedge it.

take them with you while you can.

Paul: teaching the grands about clay yet?

Gargoyles are cool. Post pics, Sir Paul.

So we are talking soup for 8-12-30?

Are you sure that wasn't the kiln you packed...hmmm.

large bowl or a hot tub?

COOL- brontoburgers!

Good thing you didn't waste your time ... I have hundreds of slides ... even I don't want to sort them!

Oh yeah ... And images on floppy discs. Really useful.

Throw money at someone to convert them all.

I would die if I tried making that!!

Ha! "Only" 8 lbs.? í ½í¸‰ My current limit is 5 lbs.

Cavy, I would get a hernia.

You people are nutz!...and I love it!!

I am just an almond with joy.

Oops! I lost mine years ago after taking it off for pottery. Not sure if my wife has ENTIRELY forgiven me though we're still together 20 years on ;-). In fact it was her idea for me to get back into clay - I'm beginning to wonder why.

Sounds like my old electric stove. It's the only stove I've ever had to allow me to have a burger raw on one side and burned on the other. I miss that stove.

Paul: part of the fun of pottery is discovering new things and the unexpected surprises when you open the kiln.

Hairspray!

Hehehe

Blub, blub, blub.

Paul: as a business decision- very smart indeed. Niche markets bring big money.

please suggest resources for information on licensing and how this would aid potters.

interesting stuff, all very awesome. i like the shoes on the tennis ones. thanks for sharing the pictures, very creative work

looking forward to it. I always enjoy your work.

I have the same problem.

When you finish, can ya do mine? í ½í¸€

It's always faster to clean that I think it will be. Then you'll have a wonderful place to work!

Decrapinator? Did the Arnold star in that?

glazenerd... yes, I believe Arnold came "bah-ck" for that

Lucky!

Were additional offerings made to the Kiln Gods, during or post firing?...

extremely lucky

how did it turn out? we are all holding our breath

It should never be allowed in same building -Its a hard lesson but a true one

Mark the low fire with fluorescent paint or something! Mine are on a different shelf, I have to actively go after them.

I'll try and push some of this 80's we're getting up your way.

Brrr! Is right. Gonna get even colder tonight!

Call the authorities. Though, I don't know if this would be the Police, or Animal Control...

Ha!

That person sneaks into my studio occasionally. He really gets around.

I know how I'm going to glaze something as soon as I texture it, but I still put off glazing till I absolutely have to. I'm definitely a mud potter.

I have a stack of bisque in the shop, awaiting glaze. I am having an indecisive moment. or two!

I have the same thing going as Roberta12.
