  1. In Topic: 06 Majolica base glaze

    Posted 23 May 2013

    If you can run it through a computer system to work it into one soda spare, go ahead. I just think it is simple the way it is. Iy mixes up nice and creamy. I figure don't mess with a good thing.

    Tight load! I love car kilns. I fired one for 20 years. I loved just rolling the door shut.

    Posted 23 May 2013

    Thanks Mark. I put double feet on all the plates.
    That matt green is a favorite glaze and my husband really liked the combination I made for his expresso cups, so I offered it to my niece. She liked it too. The recipe is in the gallery with the jpg of the green plate if anyone is interested. It is from Michael Bailey's book on Cone 6 Glazes.

  5. In Topic: Can you talk to me about plates?

    Posted 23 May 2013

    I like Frost and use the transparency on carved vases and mugs. I bought 500 pounds in San Antonio ..all my mini clubman could carry.
    I used 175 pounds for the dinner set and some other pieces. I still have some to work on carved pieces.
    I like to get the 500 lb price break. I prefer 1000 or a ton but I was in San Antonio so I bought 500.
    They didn't have it advertised on their website. I was just stopping in to see what they had at ceramic World. I usually buy in Austin or Houston or Baton Rouge for shipments. I can finish this batch up before it gets wiggy. (when the outside surface gets stiff and is difficult to wedge. Then I pug it.)
    Also there is a lot of trimming with plates and I use the trimmings to make porcelain paper clay.

    I asked Laguna about that. I told then this batch of Frost was a dream. What had they done to improve it. They told me nothing.

    I wanted to tell you how beautiful your "mistake celadon" and pot
    is. I am sure it looks even better in person. Hope some day to achieve a mistake like yours! juli

    Marcia;
    I copied down your glaze test idea so that I can try it. I think you have a mistake on the fourth line. Should be C +E. TOM.

    beginning to prepare for Fall semester at a new teaching job at a great facility on the beautiful campus of University of Texas -Brownsville. Only concern is dodging bullets from Matadoros, Mx and the drug cartels.Bullets have hit campus buildings..seriously.

    As Patti Warashina says (and I am at her feet) clay is a most humbling media and we must be crazy to work with it.
