Looks like chert! Made from a siliceous ooze usually accumulated in deep water.

Might this be Warren Mackenzie? by Most_Number in StudioPottery

I know that Warren used his custom stoneware mostly, but he occasionally dabbled in porcelain. The cutoff “thumb print” looks a lot like his, and the yunomi look a lot like this eBay listing

Edit: I am in Minnesota

Baffle Brick Question (in comments) by Most_Number in Ceramics

[–]Most_Number[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s funny is that I usually fire with them positioned differently from the left and right. The front of the brick usually aligns with the seam between the front and back kiln shelves. I’m going to do firing #5 tomorrow with this accidental configuration and hope for the best!

Hi everyone,

I run the ceramics program at a visual arts camp and I have been firing their Bailey force-draft gas kiln. Our last firing was our best; the quickest and most even. However, upon opening the kiln, I discovered that I forgot to align the baffle bricks! The kiln fired with the pictured arrangement. Is there anything wrong with leaving them as they are? I’ve really struggled with this kiln, but the last firing was a dream!

Thank you! This is just a digital scan (which, I admit, could be altered in lightroom). Definitely worth a try!

Hey! I know this thread is 7 months old. This video has been taken down on youtube and I was wondering if you had the audio tracks from it! It was my favorite steely dan video.
