  2. 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.)

    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.

    Posted 23 May 2013

    spray with a stay flo laundry starch to harden the glaze surface before painting overglazes.
    Linda has detailed handouts online.

  5. In Topic: how many of you use a mirror to save your back

    Posted 22 May 2013

    I do. I use it so I don't have to get up from the wheel and step back to look at the form I am throwing. This was something my teacher, Paula Winokur, recommended back in college days.
    SInce I am throwing mostly tall forms lately in porcelain, it is nice to lean back and look at the overall shape from the wheel.

    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.
