Hobby Income by Nine Tiger
Can anyone tell me: is there any tax limit on how much you can earn with pottery as a hobby? I will probably gross $2000 next year. With this small an amount, I don't feel the need to do it as a business. Of course, I will declare the income for taxes which prompted the question. Any ideas,...

Buying a wheel by Karen
My husband has wanted a wheel for quite awhile, and I've finally decided to get him one for Christmas. (And hopefully he won't Google for me and find this thread before then.) I poked around the FAQs and didn't see any how-to-buys, so I'm going to have to beg advice. I'm thinking a kick-wheel,...

clear glaze developes milky spots in place??? by Zander
Hi all, I'm having a hard time with a store bought clear glaze (cone 6). I bought this glaze in powder form and mixed it myself. Since then I'm having random problems with it, usually on big bowls with lots and lots of work invested in them. Problem is: milky white translucent spots develop...

How much theory do I need to know???? by sarah
Need some advice.... I'm relatively new to pottery (and LOVE it!!). My experience to date has been from very substandard adult education classes, 3 hours a day, twice a week for 2 years - not much teaching goes on as the classes are very large and there is a huge mix of abilities. I have also...

What are the largest pots you've thrown? by sam
My largest pot was a bowl I threw about two weeks ago. I started off with 25lbs of clay, centered it and in the end I had a bowl with a diameter of 20.5in and a heigth of about 11in. When the bowl was ready leather-hard I ended up trimming 8.5lbs of clay from it, which made me realize I probably...

single firing ash glazes by ali
Does anyone out there single fire ash glazes? As far as getting the slop to stay on the pot there are no problems, the problem is that as, in my experience, ash glazes are nicest when applied nice and thick, the glaze water soaks onto the pot wall and causes cracking. I'm guessing that I could get...

Mechanical help mixing recycled clay? by Bubbles

Hi All, Can you wise potters out there give me some much needed advise about what to do with a bunch of pieces that were over reduced? On the good side, in my last glaze firing, the unglazed portions of stoneware were all toasty and gorgeous. The bad thing is, areas in my old updraft kiln that got...

Sometimes I will catch one of my 6 cats (it's the same cat each time) trying to eat my clay. Usually it's when it's leather hard. Especially when I am trimming he will jump up on the table of the wheel and steal a ribbon of clay as I trim it off the pot. Will it hurt him if he eats it? I take...

speaking of goblets by GaSeku
I would like to make a set of goblets and have not attempted it before. Do any of you have any tips to share? I assume they have to be made in two pieces, the cup and then the stem? Thanks all, Gaye

Reclaiming clay - with or without lumps? by Bubbles
Hi folks! Full of questions tonight! I have just started my first time trying to reclaim my used clay. I have 3 different types in 3 different buckets. Seems I got the water/clay ratio a bit wrong in one or two, but evaporation (or adding a bit more water) should fix that, right? My "problem"...
