glazenerd got a reaction from Hyn Patty in while you are at Highwater, could you please ask what is wrong in the supply chain pr
AH: spent several hours researching this issue yesterday. Overseas freight has tripled: so products like NZ kaolin, Grolleg kaolin, mahavir potash, and stains have seen 30-50% price increases. A few smaller ball clay mines have closed: although the large ball clay and fire clay mines are fully functional. The biggest issue is the ceramic tile industry both here and overseas have greatly increased demands. Lastly, the PVC (pipe) industry has been hard hit: and some areas are using clay pipe for emergency repairs. Pottery only accounts for 2-3% of the clay market: which also means we are on the bottom of the supply chain.

glazenerd reacted to JohnnyK in Hi All y’All…Just wanted to let you know that I’m going in for hand surgery in a coup
All went well with the surgery now that all my fingers have gotten normal sensation. Up until about 10PM last night I was concerned because the ring finger was still numb and I thought there might have been some nerve damage, but sensation started to return before I went to bed. This morning, everything is about as normal as can be expected after a surgery. It will be about a month before I can resume normal everyday activities.

glazenerd got a reaction from LeeU in Spent the last few days writing a clay chemistry specific "glossary of terms." If som
Must say I am humbled by the generosity of my fellow forum members. Parts will need to be reviewed to ensure that the chemistry can be digested easily enough. Here is an example from the glossary:
"Extensibility: the measured distance clay can be extended without rupture and the force ( yield point) required to extend it. More commonly expressed as " short" or "fat" clay in relation to its elastic properties."

Not that I disagree with the change in definition, but then possible confusion sets in when explaining the "stretched membrane" theory of plasticity.

Good news indeed Joel. I am familiar with the Stoke on Trent area and it's long history in pottery. Several museums I have strolled through online, and several active potteries. Looking forward to your future pottery pieces.
