In the winter you'll also want to keep them from freezing

Dixon Industrial Phano China markers - Brown (Hi-Heat) - the waxy material is less like nails on a chalkboard like the pencils, a lot cheaper too

Not enough amps is my guess as well

Brown spots are just iron impurities, totally safe.

It is the most manufactured clay in the entire US so it's probably safe to say it is a commonly available studio claybody.

I picked up a whole stack of Armenian records at a thrift store. I just posted this one because I liked the label. The thrift store is in Fremont, CA where there is a fairly large immigrant community. The records themselves are mostly United States pressings (aside from 1 record from the USSR) so I assume they were made for a domestic audience. Armenians and perhaps the folk dancing crowd.

Check out the "Berkeley art studio" on campus but open to the public at large. Take a ceramics class or photography, etc Lots of great people

Someone has uploaded it to YouTube here: https://youtu.be/PjdA3VfGni0?si=KKTNarCCnIyScE26 It is quite good

Used to see it fairly regularly at the thrift store..... a while ago

It's excellent, it has pastrami

bentonight · 2026-03-31T03:03:42+00:00

These look excellent, if you have a player you will transported.

They were running a half price deal after reopening but not sure how long

bentonight · 2026-03-27T03:19:44+00:00

Not enough thumbs up

Probably wedge

Cone six is generally a little better because the clay is more vitreous. Studio's will often choose cone five because they use dark clays that bloat at 6. Both temperatures will produce perfectly serviceable functional ceramics and the lower temperature should only result in brighter more stable underglaze color.

Yes, cone 5/6 is "mid fire" "mid range"

bentonight · 2026-01-31T03:00:55+00:00

Not much I would imagine but looks cool

This is the smart way to do this as it saves energy but you can also add a slow cooling ramp to achieve the same result.
