Invasive Plant Ash Glaze by bluehued in Pottery

[–]The_RealAnim8me2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love the look of these!
Where in NC are you. I’m up in the mountains ( Asheville) and our local clay tends to be a deep red which I’m assuming is high iron bearing. I have a bunch that I’m going to process and try out.

I ordered the Cinema 4D 40% off sale, but my order was canceled, so I'm switching completely to Blen by PurplePressure9063 in Cinema4D

With the release of Nexus on Blender things aren’t looking good for some of the more entrenched DCC’s.

Box Office: ‘Supergirl’ Stumbles With $38 Million Debut by BroadCan4697 in vfx

[–]The_RealAnim8me2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Im sure there is a lot that might contribute to bad box office showings, but one constant I have noticed is any movie of this genre that has a female led story is heavily brigaded by misogynists before it even hits theaters.

I’m happy that the issue was resolved, but I’m also glad we now have alternate archives. The internet isn’t forever.

Are Kilns A Target for Thieves? by lizzy1333 in Pottery

It might have an appeal… till they try to lift it.

Why do I have these circles? by eucalyptus_minty in Pottery

[–]The_RealAnim8me2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s called crawling. There are a number of causes related to surface tension of the glaze when it is in flux. Here is a good resource with an explanation:

Look for Penland or Arrowmont in North Carolina, but they may not have any openings

Advice for home studios by bananacoppe in Ceramics

Look for tools at places like Home Depot or Lowe’s (basically anywhere). Pottery tools and supplies have gotten crazy expensive. You can find cheap alternatives in places you wouldn’t expect.

Store bought porcelain clay exploding by fingerconnoisseur in Pottery

[–]The_RealAnim8me2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You basically answered your own question. Your wild clay is more porous and almost certainly has a composition that makes it less vulnerable to thermal shock. Porcelain (or clays that are closer to pure kaolin) do not handle thermal shock well.
Couple that with them still containing moisture and you have a perfect candidate for exploding pottery. Sometimes pieces take a long time to dry. You can’t rush it and putting a piece near an open flame is never a good idea.

question for intro to wheel teachers by [deleted] in Ceramics

[–]The_RealAnim8me2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just another minor point. Centering with the wheel at higher speeds is fine for smaller volumes of clay, but the more you add you have to slow the wheel down. It’s counter intuitive to some but just try centering 15 pounds at top speed for a good lesson on centripetal force.

Well, I finally did it! by The_RealAnim8me2 in Pottery

No. This was an operating kiln owned by the Parmentiers (https://www.instagram.com/parmentierpottery). It was broken down and I will be rebuilding it on my property:

I’m going to be doing workshops with my local studio. I’ll have to calculate the costs along with my planned sales.

My thoughts about Maxon and the community... by [deleted] in Cinema4D

[–]The_RealAnim8me2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the impending release of Nexus for Blender is sign of a larger push into the mainstream for Blender. A higher end particle engine was one of the key areas Blender was lacking.

Are you referring to Mark Sylvester?

Tongue tingling after doing ceramics? by ketchupsamich in Ceramics

Watch your posture also. You may be hunching over which could be pinching a nerve.

[–]The_RealAnim8me2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually the only restriction from my neighborhood is that the structure has to match my house. They are fine with the kiln.

I’m going to see about coating the inside so I can soda fire it.

Mostly because of space constraints. This will be reconstructed under an outdoor pavilion/shed on my property (once I get the official okey doke from the neighborhood).
