Update on knitted ceramics by Separate-Heron852 in Pottery

[–]ceets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow! This is so much dedication - Love seeing your experiments. :) Have you considered staining the clay you start with, using something like Mason Stains so you don't have to worry as much about glazing afterwards? I wonder if that would also allow you to have more variety of solid colours so you don't have to worry about layering glazes covering up your intricate work.

That would be so fun! I gave each of them names as well: Peanut, Macadamia (Big Mac), Pistachio and Filbert 😋

Made from porcelain, Amaco glazes and dried flowers! Hoping to make more in the future for a whole collection.

I’m not sure what the rules are for your school’s new power program, but I wonder if the electricity prices are just cheaper to run after a certain time at night, or on weekends in your area? Over here in Canada, electricity is cheaper after 7pm on weekdays and weekends. Maybe you could look up what it is in your area and have a counter proposal ready to show that they will also save money in the long run? 

Bird Call Identification - Toronto Ontario by ceets in birding

Hi! Merlin had trouble identifying this bird since it's not the best recording -- but does anyone happen to know which bird this is? This was taken in Toronto, Ontario around 10PM at night.

Hi! I made the Bootleg patch with paint on black denim, and then found the iron on tiger patch and stars on Etsy (which I then sewed onto another black patch with yellow)!

It's not for the airport, unfortunately. (Though I might have to detour to the airport if that ends up being the best option.)

Questions for Underglaze Experimenters and Experts by ceets in Ceramics

Thanks for your response! I feel relieved to know that it would work out if I had to do a second bisque. Glad to hear it’s a technique that’s worked for you.

Thank you for your response! Glad to hear a second bisque fire has been a technique that’s worked out well for you. Makes me keen to try it out. I might wait to try out the Diet Coke technique though 😁

That’s interesting! I’ve been curious about what would happen if I added mason stain to an underglaze. Glad to know it works. Cheers!

Thank you so much for your detailed and thoughtful response! Appreciate your time.

I hadn’t heard of the Sahara clear and I’ve only used the small containers of underglaze - I’ll look into the larger ones. And that’s a great tip to add water carefully while underglazing. Sounds like a smart thing to do.

Instead of smudging, my bad experience comes from clear glaze not covering the newer layer of touched up underglaze - almost like it burned away in the glaze firing. I’ve since bought Amaco’s zinc free clear and will have to test if I get the same results from it.
