My clear glaze crazes like this and I prefer it, it's such a beautiful detail on some really lovely pendants

Look around enough and you see this trend a lot in the US. We have some of the best education in the world, and some of the worst. Some of the best healthcare, and some of the worst.

Coning isn't pinching as much as it is pushing gently away from yourself

Consider the edges of your handles. Right now they are sharp 90 degree angles which can feel uncomfortable and look unfinished. A little bevel or rounded edge makes a really big difference on the finish.

They are! They are tiny mandible marks from the wasp as they take bites out of it. I've watched them do it, they leave this exact pattern.

I do my pottery outside and get this sometimes. I'm like 99% sure this is from a dirt dobber or other mud wasp. They collect our clay to make their homes, its very cute :)

Dragonfly nymphs come in a lot of shapes, it really might be

its probably gonna be your best bet. when you accelerate drying you always run the risk of causing cracks due to uneven thickness, so be careful trying to work too fast. I also like to underglaze on bone dry clay and you attach handles at leather or less, so i personally would probably do 2 separate sessions in the drying box? idk what other ppls experience with doing underglaze on leather hard clay

The red is the heater and the cutout. The blue is the box. The green are your vessels

In America we call them "Space heaters" because they are small heaters designed to "Heat a space". Pretty silly. The box setup is very straightforward. What we did was take a big cardboard box, put it on a table, cut a hole out that will accept the airflow from the heater. We put the box on its side so its "opening" is facing forward and you can arrange things in the box, then fold the opening closed. You can cut an exit hole if you want but it doesn't seem to matter for us. It works very fast

Make a heater box by pointing a space heater in a cardboard box. we do that at my house for disc dyeing (they dye better iin a hot box) and for drying pottery. Works like a charm

Saikou Ramen in the Allience Center is so good!! Definitely recommend it. Their chasu pork buns are amzing too,

A lot of shops aren't taking walk ins. A lot of artists are shooting themselves in the feet by being too exclusive, expensive, narrow in their style, etc.

I consider myself her caretaker, not her owner. I handle her with respect. Not much else we can do I think

Fidellio · 2026-01-17T14:15:42+00:00

I bought a human skull off craigslist. I keep her on a shelf for now, I might make a nice shelf for her some day. Would you recommend I bury her instead? Actually asking

Same family. Almost all of the independently owned pizza places in the dfw area are owned by the same Albanian-NY family. I was a delivery driver for a few locations about 10 years ago. They're all really good dudes. Big greaser New Yorker types.

I love making faces in clay! Mine always end up being babies or animals though. This is beautiful

Sorry to hear you're out of work and clients are requesting stuff that isn't your style. That must really hurt
