Potters wheel comparisons
BlackDogPottery replied to MMB's topic in Studio Operations and Making Work
I have one of those Speedball Clay Boss wheels. Its held up alright for the most part. I've used it everyday now for 6 years doing production ware and only needed to changed out the ball bearings about 2 years ago which was super easy. -

Clay dries too fast in hands, dry skin?

What’s on your workbench?

Tupperware containers of glaze and slip, vintage mustard jar packed with brushes, trays of tools for throwing/trimming. Studio isn't sectioned off for different things but everything is in reach by the wheel. -

Try rolling your coils on another slab of clay. It might seem weird but I found it to keep your clay really plastic when just adding more water and re-kneading makes it tired feeling and more likely to crack. -
When you run your Currie test do you mix up a big batch of base glaze and take what you need as you go or do you mix up several 100g batches?
