Topics I've Started

  1. Nailing Down a Glaze!

    Posted 4 Jan 2013

    A customer brought this mug to me yesterday, wondering whether I could make a companion piece.

    The duplication's not the challenge, but the glaze is. I've always wanted a whitish glaze and this is the one!
    I'm throwing Laguna Bmix5 and firing in oxidation.

    I'd be happy with either a commercial glaze or a recipe if I can get anywhere near this effect.

    Thanks for whatever suggestions anyone might have.

  2. Cracking Prevention

    Posted 2 Dec 2012

    Back into the clay after 37-years away and I'm having what has to be a simple problem, but I'm flummoxed!

    Making very basic business card holders from slabs. I'm draping the cut piece of clay over a plastic covered 2x4 and letting it sit for 24-hours - also covered. Then, removing the plastic and allowing the pieces to dry on the 2x4.

    My problem: nearly all the pieces are cracked after the second day and unusable.

    What can I do to prevent this?

    Many thanks in advance!
