Does anyone have a link to a site for good reviews of equipment and tools for potters? I’d like to see a site that allows discussion as well as more structured reviews of tools, techniques and equipment. If you have the perfect resource, please let me know.

Kiln Loaded and Hot

Thu, 03 Dec 2009 00:04:45 -0500

This evening, Melanie, Mark and I loaded the kiln and started a glaze firing. I’ll get to see the results Saturday. This is the first glaze load we’ve fired since we replaced the kiln elements. We’ve run a couple bisque firings, which were absolutely consistent, so I have my fingers crossed. Lots of mugs and bowls and fun stuff in this load. I’ll post photos in the Flickr set as soon as we have something to show. There are at least 3 more glaze loads work of wares on the shelves, so we’ll be firing as regularly as possible before Christmas. Looks like there might be some pottery presents this year after all.

Hand thrown pottery pinhole cameras. So amazingly cool and beautiful.

Very interesting, and supports the practice of a slight touch of butter on the rim of the spout.

Back to work

Wed, 07 Oct 2009 22:20:28 -0400

I’m pleased to say it looks like I’m going to get back to work in the studio soon. Melanie and Wayne are back home and getting around a bit better and the studio is warming back up. We fired a few glaze loads to get everything from the summer caught up. At this point, everything that needed to be fired is in the kiln, or has been fired. Monday night I loaded the last of the waiting glazed pieces for firing, and wedged up my months-old supply of clay. One block was even nice and moldy. Melanie said the Chinese potters buried their clay for generations and favored moldy clay. We’ll see why soon. I think it’s time to start throwing again. I can hardly wait.

Photos of the most recently fired pieces will be on my Flickr stream real soon now.
