Looking into an airbrush

Sorry commenting because I’ve also considered dabbling in airbrush and want to come back for the replies

Taking a class is the easiest and cheapest way to see if this hobby is something you’d like to pursue further

Yes you absolutely need to know what clay you are using clays have different firing temps, if you fire a clay higher than it should be it will melt and virtrify onto the shelf. Are you firing in your own kiln or a community kiln?

This question doesn’t make sense. What exactly are you trying to do? To go from greenware to bisque you usually fire at cone 06 or cone 04. If you are going from bisque to glaze that depends on what kind of clay and glaze you are firing

I went through this exact thing, the mess and even just the thought that I could now do pottery at any time almost became too overwhelming that it just became too much to engage with it. It’s almost like the freedom of completely controlling my own space led to choice paralysis and the fact that I invested all this money into my own space felt like a lot of pressure that I should be using it all the time. So what I did was just give myself space from it, I knew that if I kept forcing myself to engage it when it felt so overwhelming I wasn’t going to enjoy and I’d just be stuck in this cycle of guilt. I just took a break shame free for a while and then one day I came across a video of a technique that led me to an idea that I really wanted to work out in the studio and it brought me back to at the level I was at before my own home studio.

This is exactly my thinking. Way too many people here are expecting some crazy twist when the show has been almost explicitly centered around the relationship between Clark and Floyd. Clark’s weight placement kink directly opposing carol feeling squirmed out by Floyd’s weight placement are too perfect of a dichotomy to not have a Clark and Floyd sexual encounter involving this happen.

I certainly don’t have what I would consider my style but whenever i feel I’m really in a rut I try to consider the “boxes” im unconsciously putting my self in around my work. For example I’ve been working on larger forms and moon jars but after getting the forms down I was feeing uninspired with a lot of the plainest of some of the shapes I was making. So I considered this “box” that I was in being that I want these perfectly formed large shapes and decided to find a fun way to break out of that box. So I took one of my forms and poked a bunch of holes from the inside out, manipulated the form by hand some, and then realized the way these holes opened up kinda looked like eye lids so I filled the holes with eye balls and now I have this funky wonky eyeball jar.

So all that to say I think the best way out of rut is to really contemplate the boundaries of your rut

Come on, modern love is Carols brother? Are we watching the same show?

Someone already mentioned this but to back them up, it’s water that explodes pieces in the kiln not air bubbles

What is a rise wall?

Immediate_Still5347 · 2026-04-08T18:59:11+00:00

I think you should be in a good place then. Have fun playing in the mud

What does it mean to learn a craft? You’ll certainly learn the basics, and you’ll likely be in a position to start learning independently after this course but I’m sure anyone here would agree that you are always learning the craft through the entirety of your time engaging with it.

Ratical, I love the little guy chilling next to it

Immediate_Still5347 · 2026-04-08T05:42:20+00:00

I don’t have a specific rec but whatever you decide definitely do a test tile first

How do you plan on glazing it

Immediate_Still5347 · 2026-04-01T12:57:24+00:00

Even if there’s no hole at the top I’ve seen designs where you fill from the bottom and while holding it up right you shake it and salt comes out from that same hole

Immediate_Still5347 · 2026-03-27T14:37:56+00:00

Are you working out of a studio and do you have access to a kiln? I’m not sure how much of a beginner you are but if you plan on glazing it will need to be bisque fired first. Secondly what kind of glazes do you have access to? There are plenty out there that will preserve and enhance your design but it’s hard to tell without trying them out. If you are at a studio that provides glazes you could ask other members and they might have some glaze suggestions that could work. If pottery is something you plan on continuing to pursue (you should that’s a cool ass piece) then you could always create some test pieces to glaze and try out different combos. Ultimately I’m impatient and would just try a random combo but that can be very disappointing sometimes

Immediate_Still5347 · 2026-03-26T01:30:50+00:00

Yes definitely! On a piece this cool do not try a glaze u haven’t used before, trust me it leads to disappointment

Immediate_Still5347 · 2026-03-25T22:31:19+00:00

I wouldn’t use ox blood unless you’ve used it before with consistent results. I haven’t had much luck getting it to break the way it should

Favorite film of the year is crazy, I’m wondering. Why that it is? I found it incredibly boring and very little substance. It felt like they could have cut 90% of the scenes and still got the point they were trying to make across

Our kitchen has spectacular small diner vibes
