    I'm having to work out systems for making pots , ince my back has been complaining is a screaming voice. Scar tissue from previous back surgeries is pressing on a nerve bundle. Every movement is very painful. sigh

      I have my wheel level to my bellybutton, so I can sit or stand. It helped my back. Best wishes.

      I have psoriatic arthritis and a dozen disc herniations in my spine, and well... I parted ways with me wheel. It was really depressing for me, and I grieved terribly. After pouting a bit, I got my tools 'n started handbuilding. It's sooo much kinder to my body, and lotsa fun! ♥

    Disappointed (with emphasis).  When you open the kiln excited to see vibrant colours on decals (12 pieces) and what you actually get is grey on white.:(

      Maybe my decals are different.  I fire them to 017  which is around 1300 F.  Are you working with degrees Centigrade?

      Good job on making lemonade out of lemons!  :D

      Yes I fire to cone 8 1260 Celcius.

      Maybe your decals are different than mine, but the 3rd firing I do for decals is at a much lower temp.  Perhaps that is why yours lost all their color?  I found Milestone decals to have a wealth of information about application and firing.  I think they also have some youtube videos.

    So excited about my first saggar fireing. I think it was quite successful. Just signed up for a Raku workshop, I've been wanting to try this for a long time

      Andrea: will give you credit for being bold and adventurous. You are bold to dive into many new things since I have known you. Go girl!!

    Took out a turquoise glaze firing yesterday. Hangs head in shame. streaky, pinholes and white areas :(. They were on order too

      Post some pics in a thread;p perhaps someone will know the fix.

    What a mess. Just had my thermocouple replaced and I've looked into the kiln and it's a mess!!! Shelves have broken and needless to say all the pieces have crashed into each other. A total write off. Some nice stuff in there as well

    Attended the first day of a raku workshop yesterday. Was great fun but I'm a little disappointed with the result from the traditional firing. Looks very flat and may have been underfired. Day 2 today.

    Hi, I updated my gravatar just now and now I can't see anyone else's!! What did I do wrong? I don't like seeing empty spaces when I've grown used to seeing everyone

    Sorry about the duplicate posting of my slip question. I don't suppose I can remove it.
