Tried milk-firing last night! I'm mostly pleased with the results, but I can't find my jar of beeswax polish so I won't know for sure until that's located.

Oh, surely. *coughs on the dust coating everything in my house*

Ridiculously low motivation this week. I'd make myself make some stuff, but experience tells me that that would end in frustration and crappy output...just gonna ride it out.
-
I cleaned, made some plant markers for the garden, got stuff glazed....so it wasn't a TOTALLY non-productive week, at least.

Mixed up my first glazes tonight! Of course, I flubbed up the first one by not re-reading the advice I was given and starting with too much water. So that will have to evaporate. Oh well, at least I learned something!

I just looked at the list - it's all clays, stone, and oxides. I think I'm good. Thanks!

I was concerned that there may be soluble components dissolved in the water that would change the glaze chemistry if I bailed it. Guess I should study the formula to see if that's even possible, eh?

*grumble* let my plates get too dry before trimming. Dangit!
-
I used damp paper towels overnight, and it did help. They were still flaky and weird, though! But I didn't seriously ruin any, so I'm happy. 5 dinner plates and a slightly wonky pie dish to be bisqued this weekend

Whyyyyy does learning how to throw plates have to be SO HARD!! I should totally be able to do this without all this practicing crap. Yup. Ok, back to practicing. UGH!

You're probably right. But I don't have to like it!
It probably doesn't help that all of my joints hate me right now, so the clay gets the better of me half the time. I made 3 that looked decent and didn't flop within 10 minutes. We'll see if I can keep it up.
