Hi, I'm new to this group and enjoyed reading some of the past posts. I have been doing stoneware pottery in an electric kiln for about 5 years now. My husband cooks down maple syrup on a woodfired cooker and he has recently rebuilt it and lined it with fire brick so that we can try firing some...

I just touched porcelain for the first time tonight. It's so soft, and I love the way it feels! I've been working with flameware all year, and that stuff will rip the skin off your hands and it feels like glass slivers are embedded in your skin after working with it. Any hints for throwing? I'm...

Happy New Year ! To one and all, from sam.

Why can't one put glaze on Greenware? I don't understand... I think the glaze would just soke into the greenware and leave the color The glaze is just a glass sealer. What would happend if one glazed greenware? Does the greenware shrink in the kiln? Can someone explain? Thanks...

First, Thanks for all your help.... What type of clay should be used in a sawdust fire pit?

I have a fabulous new Hormaca gas kiln. I have not the faintest idea where to begin. The instruction book is written is very bad broken English, translated from Spanish. I have someone from Laguna Clay Company coming out to show me, but I kinda want to make sure it's even hooked up...

Now I finally have enough to fill a kiln for a bisq firing as soon as everything is dry. It will be my second attempt. The first time (sad to have to admit) I thought cone 06 was the kiln controller's way of displaying cone 6, and I didn't understand I was supposed to bisq fire before the actual...

Thanks to some great advice from this newsgroup -- and to a touch of blind luck -- my bisque firing succeeded! We opened th kiln yesterday afternoon. I had a dozen or so items appx 16" tall plus many (warped) test tiles (made before I learned on this NG how to keep them flat). Miraculously,...
