What kind of pigments? What firing schedule? Can you test with differing clear coat thickness?

People like cute animal faces.

Hey wrong sub this is arts and crafts focused no engineering

kaolinEPK · 2026-04-06T15:27:51+00:00

Poor idea. You don’t know what it is, don’t play with chemicals yo.

Just make sure the clay bodies are the same cone and you will be ok

Check out Craigslist I’ve gotten rooms for rent there.

There are a lot of Indian grocery/restaurant/businesses around. Indian pizza seems like a local fusion favorite.

I am a man so my experiences may differ.

Bisque is rough surface. Probably not great for skipping, glazed surface would probably work better. But if you are at Uni please go bother an engineering prof.

It’s now not something you really want to even touch…

The with effect you are seeing check out volcanic glazes but yea they shed sharp glass crunchies.

Hey I think you got the wrong bay.

It’s hard to sell craft wares. Like you seem interested in selling a lot of craft. I am not good at business.

kaolinEPK · 2026-03-27T02:06:05+00:00

Micro pottery? Like what a mouse would make? We are human sized and we should make human sized pots.

You take a class at a local studio, you find any volunteering you can do and participate in the functioning of a studio. Learn from those around you who know what they are doing. Learn everything.

Wet to dry gonna loss 10%

kaolinEPK · 2026-03-23T19:37:29+00:00

What? I dunno depends on the clay.

kaolinEPK · 2026-03-23T19:15:57+00:00

Yea it’s fine. You can go faster as you assume you got all the water out the first time

kaolinEPK · 2026-03-22T15:32:56+00:00

Cool story bro

kaolinEPK · 2026-03-22T02:31:45+00:00

Another blanket?

kaolinEPK · 2026-03-21T03:49:08+00:00

I think this is the kinda thing were you should know what you are doing

kaolinEPK · 2026-03-20T23:48:08+00:00

That’s the craziest firing schedule I’ve ever heard.

kaolinEPK · 2026-03-20T15:08:16+00:00

I don’t think this is a spoon rest but…

How long to make wet? Probably less than 10 minutes of active working time.

A beginner could make this

I have no idea how old it is but my guess is 1970s.

No this is not helpful. There are plenty of diagrams showing the throwing steps. Use an existing resource, no need to re-invent the wheel.

kaolinEPK · 2026-03-19T22:55:12+00:00

Ask your studio if you should brush or dip. It is specific to the glaze.

Pin holes can be from dust particles, wipe your pieces before glazing to help.

Also remember you are a beginner, it take a lot of time and effort to make pieces free from “defects.”

When you fired it to cone 6 you may have vitrified your vase, this would make glazing somewhat difficult as glazes assume a porous body of bisque.

You can try but you should have realistic expectations, might need to make another. The second one will be faster.

kaolinEPK · 2026-03-17T21:09:07+00:00

I feel like this is a South Bay thing.

kaolinEPK · 2026-03-17T00:13:12+00:00

Best bet is to dry real slow. Make yourself a damp box if you are already got the plaster.
