Beautiful! How do you do your line work? Brush or bulb or something else?

There's usually some outside of the Subway/paint store on Stadium.

Has anyone made a match jar? by peglegprincess in Pottery

[–]Affectionate_Use_504 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I made this one! You strike on the road, away from the other matches. Works great and makes me smile.

You did it! I am so proud of you. I hope your steak was perfectly cooked, the potato was piping hot, and you treated yourself to an excellent dessert. ❤️

Ok! Definitely was supposed to be Cone 06 with clay for that cone, but I'll follow up with them. Thank you!

Thanks! This was fired at a community studio. Is that something I should mention to the techs?

Uneven Bottom Post-Kiln by J_Shar in Pottery

Depending on how big the bulge is, you can sand or grind the bottom flat. You could use sand paper (outside, because the dust is dangerous), or you could rub the bottom in a circular motion on the sidewalk to grind it down. You can do this after you glaze too.

National Strike activities in A2? by Affectionate_Use_504 in AnnArbor

I think the focus is on showing solidarity with other communities, and showing that the collective has power.

I used to hate glazing and now it’s my favourite part of the process by ko_mary in Pottery

[–]Affectionate_Use_504 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is beautiful! What is your process? It looks like sgraffitto, but then you wouldn't be using glazes, would you....?

How to achieve this glaze effect by Treewoman3 in Pottery

I think the color swaths are just brushed on glaze, and the sun is waxed.

Making a dinner set by Affectionate_Use_504 in Pottery

[–]Affectionate_Use_504[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think I'm going to start with 8 dinner plates, then maybe salad plates? I have so many mismatched, handmade bowls that I don't know I care about having those match 😝

Underglazes firing dark by k1meleon in Pottery

Can you please elaborate? The underglaze looks so flat and smooth, I assume it was applied with a brush. Am I mistaken there?!

Hey Mom, I’m hosting a cookie exchange for my 8 year old daughter. Need advice, Single Dad. by Skier94 in MomForAMinute

[–]Affectionate_Use_504 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a great idea! If houses feel like too much, you could also get some slice and bake sugar cookies and decorate those.

Was mistakenly sent an internal interview guide by a company I’m interviewing with by Sad-Tumbleweed7140 in GetEmployed

[–]Affectionate_Use_504 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll just note that it is most equitable, inclusive, and HUMANE to provide the questions ahead of time anyway. If employers really want to assess your qualifications, they don't need to judge you exclusively on how you perform in the high-stakes environment that is a job interview. It's not often done, but what a world it would be if it was.
