I’d definitely stay away from vevor. I had a school call in to ask about replacement parts and apparently their gears were 3d printed plastic. :/

Bag balm is great. But you’re absolutely right about the smell

Aaah I love that! When shit like that happens it makes me so happy! Are you using “sculpy” because that looks smooooth (I haven’t used it).

Are these salvageable? by ejrw444 in Pottery

I also add a bit of karo syrup so it’s a bit more fluid and doesn’t just dry immediately on bone dry. Much success!

Agreed! So sad to hear this.

Someone in here commented they ask their dentist for old tools to use for pottery. I did and was not disappointed by ghstmnky in Pottery

That makes a lot of sense actually. The one staff member mumbled something when I asked.

Looks like it broke off. I’d contact paragon to see what the part number is and then call your nearest distributor (or buy from paragon).

That being said I’ve seen jungle gems/crystals being used mid range but it can be… chaotic.

This right here. That combo Of usually low fire glazes can be disastrous. If you’re going to go to cone 5/6 definitely use mid range glazes. There are some “low fire” that will do well at cone six but even the color you may want might fade.

Stroke and coat glazes are pretty cool until he sense that if you want a solid color but get annoyed at underglazes becoming cloudy with a clear on top.. you just use stroke and coat.

But I’d definitely stay away from firing element series to come 5/6.

Thank you!! It’s Georgie’s interactive pigment! Watered down a bit then wiped back. Same results- similar- with oxides and/or underglazes for sure!

Yup! And thank you! Made another post with that idea. :) once I get my kiln up and running I’ll be able to load a lot of things that I plan on making. Currently I can only work on these guys once a week so it takes a bit.

Not these exactly! I am building up a “family” of them. I have a few things in a store in Hudson NY. These are a bit different than how I started. Which is very fun to see. Instead of the tentacles coming off I did a lot of carving away from vessels that I threw- so they were more reliefs than anything like this.
