koreyej sharing my studio with a 3 year old

stilt or dry foot?

Posted 23 Oct 2012

I have played with clay for the last 20 years and have recently been blessed with enough space to set up my own pottery studio. I am getting some work ready for a show, and I am trying out some new things. One of these is a series of slab plates. They do not have a footring. I have bisque fired them, and am now ready to glaze. I am wanting to glaze the bottoms too, and am not sure how to proceed. Do I rub them over sandpaper and dryfoot the high spots, or do I stilt them? I am firing to cone 6, and am not sure if I will have problems with warping if I stilt. Any thoughts for potters more experienced than me on this?
Where do I find those silicone travel mug lids?

Posted 17 Oct 2012

I have a customer who requested several travel mugs made with the flexible, snap-over silicone lid one can drink from. Does anyone know where I can order these? I am having trouble locating just the lid, without the accompanying cup.
