  1. If you are throwing right on the wheelhead have you tried leaving a little squat stem under the bowl? Often done when throwing off the hump, gives you a little bit of clay to hold with your fingers without distorting the form. Another thing you could try if you haven't already is to gently place a square of newsprint on the rim of the bowl and lightly run your finger around the rim then wire it off and pick it up. The paper helps trap air inside the bowl so it doesn't distort, you remove the paper after setting the bowl on a ware board.
  2. Lovely work : ) Have you tried using slightly stiffer clay for pots thrown without batts?
  3. anybody else keep getting bumped off the site after logging in and trying to post something? I'm also getting a "I'm not a robot" verification popping up.

  16. Those look like they would be so tactile to hold while sipping tea, lucky Phil and Rebecca! Just got to say though that in keeping with your post about scale maybe change the ".35ml" to 355ml .

  20. argh, the stock markets! enough already. not clay related but hard to ignore.

  21. Thanks guys! I'll look into the Bartlett V6-CF one, haven't used that one yet. Will probably make a second box for it.
  22. I just picked up a spare kiln. It's from Pottery Supply House (Euclids) and has never been used. It came with an Orton Autofire controller. Very basic touchpad, the manual that came with it is dated 1993. Anybody use one of these controllers? I'm thinking of switching the touchpad to a Skutt or Bartlett one. Any thoughts?
