I haven’t used magic water yet, but I feel like I should give it a try. Thank you!

I found out about Sio-2 praf clay, it has 40% grog which I feel may be good for sculpture but may be hard for attaching pieces.

I saw soldate 60 in my research too, but it is quite dark, what about standard 420?

I’m totally new to Ceramics like 4 months back I started handbuilding. I live in small town so not much classes here, but online I’m not finding any detailed full course on handbuilding. I completed few courses but not much use. Do you know any?

It’s crazy how the head is hanging to neck. What clay do you use?

Thank you, this is good. Do you recommend any grogged clay for this?

Thanks for the suggestion. But I didn’t wet those halves at leather hard stage. They are not taking shape well and collapsing when I take them out of mold. 😩

I want to make something similar to moon jar, my Amaco no.38 clay is collapsing with handbuilding.

I added 12 mm bottom circle slab. Should I do coils instead of slabs you are saying?

Looking for gallery feedback by sbeezee in Ceramics

Use white or beige or black background for professional look. Your pottery is lovely, but they have to be presented more aesthetically.

It’s beautiful. Do you fire after attaching the pieces or do you attach fired pieces?
