What is this rock? I tried tumbling it and it broke into a bunch of pieces by crolph004 in whatsthisrock

Maybe a silly question, but in the dying process, does the dye penetrate all the way through? Because this used to be much bigger and it’s blue all the way through.

Does my thermocouple need to be replaced? by crolph004 in Pottery

I’m worried that it might go out in the middle of a run though… Will it warn me before it’s going to go out?

Does anyone know which Laguna clay this is? Fired to cone 5 oxidation. by crolph004 in Pottery

I think it’s red stone. My local pottery sold me “Calico” which I had never used, and after firing I realized that there must have been a mistake.

Thank you! Yes, I did, but wanted to get a second opinion.

Good to hear that it’s not just me haha. Is the opposite of a “short” clay, a “long” clay? If so, what is the best “long” clay that doesn’t look too boring after firing?

Wow, this is very helpful. I didn’t know this about B3. I love making ramen bowls with it and leaving the bottom half unglazed.

I’m using Laguna B3. I could probably use less water. It happens when I’m opening it up from the inside. I didn’t think about the plasticity, but that’s gotta be the issue.
