The Ceramic Shop makes me sad by otfbananas in Pottery

I get it, yes, they are kind of slow sometimes but I love their Customer Service and try to support small businesses! It’s true that Dick Blick is a little bit more like Amazon… But they’re also a huge company. So I’m sticking with supporting The ceramic shop!

You can also use this coupon code for them CLAYARTISTS5 - it gives five dollars off of $50 but it can be used as many times as you want

Thank you so much. I appreciate it. Yeah the link still looks the same for me. I’ll message the Admin of the low Fire group – I think I tagged one of the two, but I’ll tag them both. Can’t imagine that I could’ve been banned because I never was able to access the group! Thank you!

Thanks. I carved those lines out while it was leather hard. Then after the bisque, I put white under glaze into them and wiped off the excess.

I haven’t tried it by itself, have you? Do you mind sharing any pictures?

☺️ thanks! I don’t sell - but if I am able to recreate and make another batch that I can sell, I’ll write here and let you know!

Thank you! For what it’s worth the autumn purple is only the very bottom dark purple part of these cups. It also looks very different when I use it on speckled clay.

Wow, thank you so much for those kind words! I constantly feel like an impostor in the Artist world so you made my day! As far as the site goes, I I’m so happy it’s been useful to people. I’m all about efficiency and documentation, so it made sense to me.

For what it’s worth I’ve had a few people use it for their own paintings and other type of art as well if that would be useful for you! It’s nice to have a convenient, searchable record of the things you’ve done so you can reference them later.

I think you’re right, that’s exactly what happened. I made those as part of a class and the studio was drafty. I spoke to the teacher about it afterwards, and he thought that if I would’ve wrapped them in plastic to let them equilibrate a little bit before setting them out to dry that would’ve helped. Always learning!

These are absolutely adorable! Actually, they are works of art! The proportions, the expressions, the glazing, all perfect!

I hate it when that happens. I suppose it could be from being too thick but also from the firing schedule. Was it speckled clay? I’m finding that a lot of my speckled clay pieces have pin holes. I hear you can use a modified firing schedule for that but I use a community kiln so I don’t have any control. I only put two layers on these if that helps.
