Posted 18 Apr 2013

This just occurred so I'm going to toss it out there: What happens if an encapsulated cadmium bearing glaze/slip runs on a kiln shelf and you grind it?

To improve my brush work, I've been taking a Chinese Brush Painting class, also called Sumi E. Fortunately, my instructor started out decorating tall vases in Taiwan and China after her schooling with her Masters.

I get my brushes from Oriental Art Supply http://www.orientalartsupply.com/ and Blue Heron Arts Store http://www.blueheronarts.com/index.php

Elizabeth Priddy has a dvd on using brush work (she was a student of my instructor years ago) http://www.elizabethpriddy.com/

Another good source is Linda Arbuckle http://lindaarbuckle.com/

It takes time and practice, much practice. And, you need to make sure you've got your chi.

Could you recommend a basic set of brushes that work well on bisque for someone who is just beginning to learn brush strokes?

Maybe make a ceramic lid insert with a groove along the outer edge (like the one you mention) and then get an O ring to fit the grove? Just thinking out loud here.

I love that idea!

If you don't have a reversing switch I think you can make one with a bridge rectifier.
