    Denice; Had to look at your work since you mentioned double firing dowm - or something technical like that. Like the yellow.

    Pres; I wanted to thank you for your articulate and thoughtful response to the person asking about layered glazing. I really thought I was helping out here. Guess not! Tom.[TJR]

  5. Wow! Nice looking brand new kiln. Good luck with the shelves. Just take it slow when heating them up.

  6. John; I came across a recipe for a Nuka glaze, which I understood to be white. I was interested in it as it uses wood ash, which I have an abundance of.[dangling participle there]. I mixed up a test. Like the surface quality, but it needs to be applied thicker. On your jar, are you putting it over black slip, or is it a black clay body? Looks beautiful. Tom
  7. Wow, I thought you were kidding about the 1969 thing. You really ARE that old. I think I was in Grade 10 in '69.Great work!

  9. NEIL;I made this small rimmed bowls out of porcelain, with the idea of putting a round candle in for Christmas.Before I waxed the foot, I brushed Alumina on, to avoid "plucking", as you suggested. No plucking, so thank-you for the suggestion.Tom Roberts

  12. Just adding you as a friend.

    Tom.

  13. Neil;I keep looking at that luscious yellow glaze on your teapot. Is your colourant rutile? Are you firing oxidation?Can we maybe trade a recipe or two?Tom Roberts[TJR]

  14. Brandee;I really like your bowl with the red circles in your profile picture. I wanted to see a larger version of it. Any chance of that? Great painting. TJR.

  15. Marcia;

    Thank-you for being my friend. I survived the birthday last night.I really want to try your colour test technique. Will let you know how it turns out.

  16. Marcia;

    I copied down your glaze test idea so that I can try it. I think you have a mistake on the fourth line. Should be C +E. TOM.
