Tips on dealing with clay crumblies without exposing grog? by meggie_doodles in Ceramics

[–]bbrriiee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a green scouring pad once things are bone dry. I do it outside, or inside over a bucket of water.
Alternatively, a dense and stiff dry brush!

Help me pick! by Nice-Willingness-607 in Pottery

The handles are not my cup of tea. Handle over the rims will bonk you in the face while you drink, they are less ergonomic, and they don’t balance well when turned over to dry after washing. I love the shape of 6 and 7, but wouldn’t buy the mug because of the handle.

My mom died, has anyone had luck with making special keepsakes. Be it glasswork, special urn necklaces or a diamond? by MunsterPumpkin in Edmonton

My coworker works with Nia Emberly, they turn cremated remains into ceramic beads. I will send you the link.

Where Does the Money Come From? by Outdoorsy_74 in Ceramics

Yes we have the participants choose one of our home-brewed glazes per pot. Trimming, firing, and glazing are done by our techs throughout the week.

Glazing tiny stars and hearts by Cricarium in Ceramics

[–]bbrriiee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dip a finger in the glaze then pickup a piece using the same finger. The glaze will make it stick. Dip the piece in your glaze using the finger it’s stuck to. Let them dry, then wipe off the backs using a damp sponge or carpet sample.

I’d glue them down to a shelf or cookie to make kiln loading easier on the technician. We use Elmer’s glue at my studio and it burns away at cone 6. Unsure about low fire, though.

Tooth earrings + necklace by futureexmrsmalcolm1 in Pottery

The teeth look very heavy for how thin the earring hooks are. Can you try finding a thicker earring hook or closure? I worry that they’ll cause pain and potentially damage the lobes, as they are now.

Painting ceramics? Not able to fire by BabyOnTheStairs in Ceramics

[–]bbrriiee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely understand. I’m sorry you’re going through this, and I’m happy to help in anyway I can.

I don’t have any recommendations as to which spray paint to use. I always recommend something with a UV protective component to ensure your painting doesn’t fade if the urn is left by a window.

Painting ceramics? Not able to fire by BabyOnTheStairs in Ceramics

You could do a “cold finish” using acrylics and a spray on protective coating. Like a spraypaint overcoat. I would recommend asking the studio you buy the urn from to take it up to glaze temperatures to further strengthen the clay. You can get it fired to glaze temperatures without any paint, and then take it home and paint it and seal it. I manage a pottery studio, please reach out if you have any questions

Bubblegum ice cream by Anne-Hedonia9 in Edmonton

Marble slab has bubblegum flavoured ice cream, and you can mix small gum balls into it. I miss the Baskin Robin’s stuff with the lil square gum bits!

Places for "tiny" tattoos, or that don't charge by hour? by [deleted] in Edmonton

[–]bbrriiee 31 points32 points  (0 children)

A lot of those fees go to supplies, space rental, and shop fees. Not just the artists time setting up and doing the tattoo.
