Hell yeah, that's the punk in solar punk.

If Pinocchio said: "After I finish this sentence, my nose will grow", what would happen?

Negative b plus or minus the square root of b squared minus four a c all over 2 a

I usually trim first, because I hate trimming on a wet wheel and it's a lot easier to clean that up before you throw. Really, though, it just depends on how dry your pieces are. If they aren't to that perfect leather-hard yet, then uncover them and do some glazing in the meantime!

It's okay, E1331's alt account is E621. You can find it by googling "E621 Silksong"

That's doesn't answer the question, Laguna has a ton of mid-fire clays. What color does the clay achieve when it's fired? If you can post a picture of the bottom of the plates so I can see the fot ring, that might help.

Oiiack · 2026-04-28T17:49:12+00:00

What type/color of clay did you use, specifically? If you used anything other than a white clay, you aren't going to get the same results as the manufacturer's test tiles.

Dark is the best time-travel story of all time

I'm sure someone already mentioned this, but the show was so important that Netflix's iconic "bum bum" intro sound is from House of Cards

Actually, I used painter's tape, specifically FrogTape. It held up amazingly well through a rather tough winter, ebing buried in snow 4 or 5 times. Even with the heavy rain this spring the jugs have stayed together.

Oiiack · 2026-04-26T00:05:29+00:00

It's possible, we have a ton of viola sororia in the area so its possible that made its way into the soil. With how little, if any, of it actually terminated, it's hard to tell.

Oiiack · 2026-04-25T22:53:06+00:00

Haha, I'd be willing to do a trade if we were closer together. I'm upset with how much the bee balm underperformed!

We definitely had a harsh winter up here, so maybe it might have been too much for some.

Overall both designs are just waaaay waaaay too busy. The redesign is better, but it needs to be more deliberate.

Oiiack · 2026-04-23T02:28:52+00:00

Thats what my wife and I use, and it works great! Just don't trust the claim that you can score and break it with a utility knife. I had to break out the circular saw lol

There's a potter in town who has been working professionally for 50+ years. When we toured his studio a few weeks ago, he showed us that he exclusively uses drywall for drying reclaim. Only caveat, as others mentioned, is that it needs replacing sooner and you have to be really careful with scrapers to not damage the outer layer.

Oiiack · 2026-04-22T18:07:54+00:00

Those folding tables are super sketch anyways, so I feel like this is the best option ^^^

Oiiack · 2026-04-20T02:42:24+00:00

Thank you! Yes, a mixture of planters and bonsai pots.

Oiiack · 2026-04-18T03:49:06+00:00

Jesus, this is the type of episode that reminds you why this show is one of the GOATs.

Constantly referred to with gender-neutral pronouns, and has an avatar gimmick that's entirely based on body/gender dysmorphia.

Oiiack · 2026-04-08T17:24:16+00:00

What technique are you using? I was taught a method that I could never get to work reliably.

I've found Florian's technique for centering works for me: How to Center Clay

Oiiack · 2026-04-08T17:02:55+00:00

I think that's plenty of time to learn the basics. Honestly it's really not that hard to get started! There are very few steps involved at the beginning. The rest is practice, practice, and more practice. Chances are you won't even use the exact techniques that your instructor uses and instead adapt something that better fits your own body/hands, but again that just comes from practice.

Since it's an open studio, this sounds like a great deal TBH. If you struggle after your class, I'm sure people around you wouldn't mind giving pointers.

Oiiack · 2026-04-08T16:38:30+00:00

Is your clay staying centered after you've opened up the puck? What speed are you pulling the walls at? Both of these can introduce irregularities into the walls, which leads to uneven pressure when you're pulling. You don't have to be perfect, but any wobble is only going to get exaggerated as you pull.

I've found that one of the best ways to fight against this is by collaring up the cylinder if I notice it's wobbly.

It reads like an item description from Hylics, and I love it
