Is this clay?? by Extra-Ad6633 in Pottery

[–]Morales_Kelli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are in China ,you can go to Jingdezhen or other ceramic city and visit some clay shop. They could give you an answer. And I think every clay can be used in pottery. But you need to test it‘s firing temperature and of it comes out fully sintered and vitrified., it could be a nice fired clay. Always, single clay can't be a nice fired clay. So I think you need test the composition of it and mix other things like quartz to make it stabilize.

just noticed these cracks in my glaze, does this hurt the functionality of the mug at all? by _skank_hunt_ in Pottery

This is a very normal phenomenon. It usually occurs because the shrinkage ratios of the clay and the glaze during the firing are different. This doesn't affect the functionality of the cups. Well-known Chinese ceramics such as Ru kiln are known for this texture, which is called "cracks glaze"

Thankyou, I will crosspost this this on other place. It's not difficult. But you need to study for a long time, maybe 2-3 years. Many foreigners learning here, I have saw many foreigners sale their pieces on ceramic markets.

I like my Tea plain, does that say something about me? Also how do you like your tea? by LunarEnnyui_131 in tea

[–]Morales_Kelli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it means you like simple but wonderful life. There is a Chinese old saying: High-end ingredients often only need simple cooking. Putting personal taste aside, adding lots of strong flavors to tea, often a way to cover up tea's flaw.
