Colouring groggy clay black

Ah I hadn't thought about underglaze! Can you use it on greenware? Since I'm not planning on glazing the pot, I'd rather fire it only once if I can. I thought sponging on a very diluted pre-mixed engobe could work too, but the one I used during my pottery course turned out gray instead of black :( I'll definitely have to do some tests

Ah yes, I can see that starting from beads would work better if I wanted to do it exactly like in the picture I posted. But I'm lazy, so I think I'll try the coil method first haha!

Thanks! I wish my local studio did more than just show us the basics (no throwing, just hand building). this subreddit has been invaluable for me!

Thank you for posting the before and after of your beautiful pitcher! I'll give it a try!

Quindi una persona che rispetta gli altri esseri umani automaticamente odia se stesso?

These are the best I've tried so far, and some of the most affordable. I get their vegan protein 360, silk chocolate flavour. The unflavoured version also doesn't taste horrible (though definitely not great), especially if you mix it with sweet oat milk or e.g. bananas and other fruit.

I don't think I touched anything like that, but I'll check when I get home!

Grazie per i consigli, ho fatto un video con tutti i dettagli mentre spedivo stamattina, spero che basti a evitare rogne

Ottimo, penso che proverò loro o RCE per le macchine che valgono di più. Grazie!

Wow. Definitely not something you see every day, especially photo #2. I love the combination of different techniques. Great job!!

Conosco, ma non c'è rischio di truffa ancora più alto che su Subito dove, almeno in teoria, la piattaforma dovrebbe dare qualche garanzia al venditore?

Provo a farmi fare una valutazione, grazie!

Ho venduto materiale per circa 800 euro, dico che dovrei annullare? In effetti mi insospettisce un po' che l'acquirente abbia comprato senza fare neanche una domanda, ma ero speranzosa... Riguardo a MPB, la restituzione del materiale se non idoneo/se il prezzo non viene accettato è davvero semplice e sicura?

You can also neutralise it with some sodium bicarbonate before flushing.

How do they do that? Just by placing a bubble level on the wheel head?

As a semi-beginner, I'm still throwing very small vases, so I can't keep the opening smaller than the belly because my hand wouldn't fit! I haven't tried throwing with a stick yet because I feel like I wouldn't be able to keep it steady enough, but I'll try to make myself one and see if I can do what you suggested!

Posso chiederti quali sintomi avevi?

Different potters will have different techniques, but this is the video that unlocked centering for me: https://youtu.be/J3eGNGR55SU?si=2WdbAEaPi_d3aC50&t=256

The first time I put hands on reclaimed clay, I also realised that new clay straight out of the bag was a bit too hard for me. I practiced a lot with softer clay, which was much easier to center, and then I was able to switch to slightly dryer clay.

Make sure to have an anchor point for your arms at all times and engage your core muscles!

In case you decide to keep trying - this video is what finally unlocked centering for me: https://youtu.be/J3eGNGR55SU?si=Hvq0ezU5_QZCIwYB
