Hello

I really like this forum, sometimes I lurk and sometimes I post, people are pretty civil here. Sometimes people make rude comments even I do on occasion. OH WELL get over it ... you just need to read a post like "...spent hours and hours so it must be worth millions and millions" and you just can't do that kinda serious eye rolling in silence (although according to some it would be nicer to). Would the forum really be a better place if we all were the same and wrote comments in a beige world kinda way. No probably not.

obstreperously yours

Thanks for the great help Marcia, I would not be paying for any of the equipment and so on, just working the kiln. I will have to do some more research but I think this is not going to be possible with my skill level and resources. She seems to have the idea that it is relatively simple, I will have to tell her otherwise Don't want to waste her money and end up with a broken pottery studio, this is what I can imagine happening.

Somebody was talking to us yesterday about this clay you can fire into silver now that is something I have never heard of before. Think that is the route I will be taking! Sounds like there is a lot less that can go wrong.

Just google silver clay. It is great stuff. You form it into whatever you want, fire it and the organic material that holds the silver particles together burns out, leaving your item. Same sort of principle like paper clay. T
In Topic: How do you make color blends in glaze

That looks to me like the leaves are glazed with a transparent green glaze, the pot was dipped in a transparent clear glaze and then copper carb was dripped around on top. T

In Topic: Technician Job at the Clay STudio in Philadelphia

Are they really serious about the salary? It really suprises me that it is so low, after all they want someone with a university education. Is that the norm in the states? T
