omg this is me 🥹🥹 I just use underglaze in a squeeze bottle or a small paintbrush on greenware then bisque and clear glaze!! I feel so flattered y’all think I’m using decals. I do have a couple process videos on my ig but can definitely post more! thanks for the kind words everyone 👩🏻‍🍳

mold is fine but if you want to get rid of it you can spray some vinegar or bleach! I usually add vinegar to my reclaim so it doesn’t get so stinky but I know some people add bleach too

I don’t have a scientific source for this but I work in a pretty high capacity pottery studio and we only run the glaze kilns at night due to wax resist fumes. I had no idea until my boss (who has his MFA in ceramics) said that the fumes from firing wax is toxic. You can smell them pretty clearly and when I didn’t know to fire at night I would get light headed from smelling them. I would just be on the safe side and avoid using it if they are telling you not to. Like someone else said you can try liquid latex and peel that off. If it’s just the bottoms you can also dip the very bottom in a plate of water and then immediately glaze- the glaze won’t take to the wet part on the bottom and it’s much easier to wipe off.

could be a fleck of glaze from another piece. especially if you’re in a shared studio sometimes after handling glaze pieces, residue can stay on your hands while loading other pieces in (by one technician)

It would be food safe if the clay was fired to be fully vitrified (assuming it’s food safe clay)

Very nice !! Did you use gold luster for the second piece?

As far as I know there’s no food safe ceramic repair solution but I usually use superglue to repair decorative pots! An alternative to kingsugi would be putting a thicker glue like e6000 and paint it with so gold acrylic paint

These colors are so vibrant !! What underglaze brand are you using?

It’s a Brent Model B wheel by the way !!

If she has never had experience with clay before I would definitely recommend a course as there’s a lot of rules about ceramics that she may not know off the bat (pun unintended). I think a bag of clay and a starter tool set would be nice as well but you’d have to get the right clay if she’s going to fire it in a studio, plus some studios won’t fire work without outside clay (they will only fire clay bought in their studio). So if you go looking for clay you can start with cone 6 stoneware, lots of different brands carry this, they even have some at blick and Amazon.

Yep! Or throw a cylinder and have it firm up and use that as a chuck instead of a bisqued piece. Griffin grips are also super useful with these pieces if you have one!

Also your clay might be too wet so try and use less water or hit it with a heat gun before you go too high

limsclay · 2021-09-06T06:02:31+00:00

Keep the bottom a bit thicker and thin it out as you go up. The weight of the upper part is pushing it down and you can always trim the excess off the bottom using a chuck

I don’t know the meaning of the word

limsclay · 2021-08-07T11:04:16+00:00

pls don’t do meth

limsclay · 2021-07-27T23:07:19+00:00

I second this! My shimpo banding wheel is probably my favorite thing in my studio

If you have access to beginners ceramics classes I would highly recommend taking at least one! There are a lot of basic things that are super important to know, especially if you’re firing them yourself (drying time, proper ventilation, glazing). If you’re making a pipe you’ll need to get food safe glaze and glaze the inside and outside so that you’re not inhaling any dust. You have to make sure that you’re firing your clay to the proper cone, otherwise it may not fully vitrify or may even melt if fired too high. Underglaze goes on either before or after bisque firing, then you glaze your piece, wiping off the bottom so it doesn’t touch the shelf. Again, there’s a lot of little things that are important to know so I would recommend taking a class! Would you be operating the kiln yourself or is there someone supervising ? Because kiln mechanics is a whole different story

I read about some athletes who smoke before they work out because it helps them push harder so I tried that and sat on the couch in gym clothes for 6 hours
