What is the value of a used kiln? by Jon Danniken
Hello, A friend has asked me to help her sell her kiln, and I am wondering how much a used kiln would be expected to sell for. I realize that it depends on a lot of factors, but I have no clue as to these things and am hoping that you might be willing to give me a reasonable ballpark of about...

Layering Opaque Glazes by John Rigler
I am trying to do a test where I put down a layer of black glaze or underglaze and then put a layer of white on top of it and have it appear as if the black weren't there at all. This is the most extreme case of a completely opaque glaze covering something below it. I am doing all my tests with a...

Want to make red slip by CNB
Hi all, I would like everyone's opinion. I fire cone 6 electric. I've been using Standard Brooklyn Red clay and love the fired brick red color. Unfortunately I hate to throw with it. It's just to sandy for me. I don't see another clay with that red brick color so I think I would like to make a...

Firing Onglaze. by Rosalind Lacey
I have more or less all the info I need about mixing and applying onglaze but little knowledge of the firing process. Oddly enough the books I have on 'painting techniques' fail to give details of the firing and for how long etc. They seem to assume one would automatically know this ? Someone...

Clay Boss wheel - blown circuitboard - I need a part, but from where? by töff
Didn't just blow the fuse, also blew the yellow disk capacitor on the circuit board (and I hope nothing else!). The board is marked KBDM REV.A 111894. It's Creative Industries Clay Boss, nice little wheel if I can fix it. Problem is, the capacitor has no legible value on it, like in farads, so I...

Beginner's Question--Potter's Wheel by Buck
They're all over the place, of course, and have dozens of characteristics and quirks. I remember two things (From how long ago I will not mention!): 1. A MASSIVE foot powered wheel that seemed to hold momentum forever. No power required except the legs. Are these antiques, (or at the very...

Single firing Done! by DKat
Well I unloaded the kiln and was amazed how many pots came out with such few flaws. One poor little pot was glazed and reglazed so many times that I was never planning on firing it, just playing with techique. It got stuck in just on principle and came out one of the better pots. The pots...

looking for a specialty clay recipe by TimR
I have a need to mix some nonhardening clay, as dense and stiff as possible. I've tried google searches and the library without success, and some experiments with clay and vegetable oil, etc., haven't done well either. (They weren't "sticky" enough, I don't know the technical term.) Can anyone...

is cone 06 same as cone 6 ??? by Beowulf
As a newbie, I ordered some cone 06 and cone 10 clay. Someone told me that there is actually cone 6 clay that is not the same as cone 06 -- is this true and what is the difference? I hope I did not buy the wrong clay!

newbie needs help on simple question by Beowulf
I am just a newbie in clay and throwing-- just got my own wheel after taking some private lessons. My question: how can I rig up something at home for kneading the clay? I mean, should I glue some canvas to an old table, or use a staple gun to snugly attach canvas to the top of an old table, to...

LONG post on results of "Glazus Interuptus" by GaSeku
Grab a cup of tea or a glass of beer. This post may be LONG. I fired the load that I had to turn off after two hours the day before. After reading everyone's posts, I opted NOT to replace any of the cones since they only got to 500F. I won't fail to replace them next time, just in case not doing...

Glaze Book for Dummies? by GaSeku
Is there something similar to a Glaze Book for Dummies? I am not able to find a class that specifically addresses glazes and very much want to learn more about making them. I am curious about underglazing right now but know precious little about the how- to aspect. And Mason stains? What are they...

First firing of used kiln by GaSeku
Ok, first question....how long should it ordinarily take an electric kiln to fire to cone 06? I think I was close when it cut off. It was so late that I just thought it was finished and went on to bed. This morning I realized it had thrown the breaker! CAN YOU HEAR ME CUSSING? This kiln says it's...
