  1. In Topic: Drilling holes for a drumhead

    Posted 18 May 2013

    I have had students make drums over the years. The sinew for seuring the skin does distract from the decoration.
    During my last teaching job, I showing the udu drums video by Frank Giorgini. They do not use a skin.
    One day my students were jamming with their drums and sounded really good. Google them and think if you could use that idea.
    Your decoration is very nice...too nice to cover up.

  2. In Topic: Black Glaze Problem

    Posted 18 May 2013

    The tile on the right looks like uneven application with possible brush strokes showing and causing the blotchy look. It is darker than I expected.
    I doubt if it has lead if it was fired to cone 6. That is not a common flux at that temperature. But you can test it as suggested.
    Is there enough glaze to dip the pieces?

    My geeky astrophysics husband has been using internet -like communications like bit-net and use-net since the early 1980s.
    The internet as we know it using mosaic started about the early 1990s.
    I was on the clay art discussion groups with Richard Burkett and Joe Molinaro when Matt and I started going together in 1993. He geeked early in the morning and thought I should too.
    It really has expanded quite a lot.

    My first computer was a Commadore 64, then an Apple and its been Apple ever since.
    Here is something I found to be oxymoron-ish. Distance learning class on Interpersonal Communition.
    Maybe that is what internet forums need...a level of acceptable rhetoric for internet social behavior.

  4. In Topic: if you could be any potter?

    Posted 18 May 2013

    Yes that is fun. I had tea in St. Ives with Janet Leach.
    Lunch with Dave Shaner at Frances Senska's house.
    Breakfast with Richard Notkin at my house.
    Coffee with Kurt Weiser at my house.
    Cheerios with Bill Daley in early morning at the Bray.
    Plus many visits with potters in New England, Montana, Russia,Iceland, Uzbekistan, Latvia, Italy, and Spain including Ardcadi Vlasco, Allessio Tasco, Vladimir Tsivin,
    Dancing with Rudy Autio at the opening of Garth Clark's 100 Years of American Ceramics show in Pullman , Washington.
    Jack Troy and I sat next to each other on a bus trip to possibly the Hill of Crosses in Lithuania. His pack was above us and his garlic was dripping on me. He was eating garlic for his cold. That was a trip!

    Great memories..

    Did you see this glaze come out anywhere where it was actually black?
    What clay were you using?
    Find out the temperature the kiln fires to. Then we may be able to figure this out.

    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.
