What are the largest pots you've thrown?

The bird bath is not worth seeing ) The tagines are sold. I will have a
website eventually and will put my work on it for people to see. My IT son
is meant to be creating my website, but its a bit like the plumbers house
with the leaky tap.
Cheers

32 inch bowl from around 15 pounds. when dry it reached JUST less then
the 28
inches i needed to get it into my electric kiln. once at cone 10 it
was
around
26 inches... hard to explain to people how much clay shrinks... and
my
stretching from the inside only seems to expand clay further then the
cook
book
shrink rates...

i often do "arm pit" cylinders, and shaping the vases shortens the
height
to
maybe my elbow. i haven't done the cylinder on cylinder technique
enough
to
get much worthwhile yet.

I can only throw about 10 pounds. Making big tagines was a challenge and
fun. Must do more. I do enjoy stretching myself at times, but more to
do
with what I can do with up to ten pounds of clay. I don't want to strain
myself by trying to centre more. One day I will master the coil throw
technique. I have joined two thrown pieces to make a base for a bird
bath.
Big is not really my aim though.

i don't know how accessible it is around the world but yahoo has a "groups"
area with several pottery groups useful for posting photos. i used one for a
long time but as a site there was little traffic from other potters so i just
don't go there much ~ but i know my pictures are still there.

from a spam point of view if you set up an account to use as your spam
collector your main address doesn't get too much trash from the group area.

see ya

That is nice to know. Thank you. Do you know what the size of the files
should be limited to?

I don't think there is a limit per se.

Having said that: They shouldn't be too large, BTW, you can have 2 images
having the same physical size (pixel size) and one being larger in kilobytes
than the other. The larger the images in Kilobytes the less likely people
would be willing to download them and see them, I'd limit the images to no
larger than 150K. Another aspect is how large in pixels they are, some
people post images that in order to see them you have to scroll down/up and
left/right, I'd limit the image to no more than 700 pixels high and 700
wide.

I just posted an image at "alt.binaries.crafts", its subject is "POTTERY:
test image"

BTW, the image is not that of a ceramic object, I am not potter yet, but
hope to be in the near future.
