Hello!

I am using plaster molds usually with white clay but would like to switch to red clay ones in a while,
how could I avoid contaminating the white clay in future works?

I assume washing the mold will take for ever to dry!
should I do another sets of molds? mmmmmmm...
some suggestions?
THANKS!!

Hello

I had made a big tile and it's plaster mold, I didn't take it off and the clay is almost dry
and do not know how to remove it, I wish not to hurt the plaster in the process, do you some suggestions?

THANKS!

Hello


I want to be able to make spikes as large as possible by squeezing them with slip (I suppose dense could be nice).
I would like to do the slip from the clay (cone 04) I am using, I have darvan 811 and sodium Silicate (to reduce water content-shrinkage/crackings) but I don't know what quantity should I use, the formulas I find are for too big batches.

Is there some possibility to do about 2 pounds of slip?
THANKS!

Hello
I could put my hands on a bigger electrical kiln (inside 17"x 24") , but I need wider more than taller...


is it too crazy to use it laid on the side?
may be with some external support for the walls and a fake floating floor...did anyone have done it?
Thanks!
