  1. The results - the plain glaze is nice. The added ilmenite needs to be better suspended, and the manganese version is a tad dark. #pottery #ceramics #glaze

  3. I do, however actually buy physical books by glaze makers because it is often the only way I can show some concrete appreciation for their immense generosity in sharing their knowledge. #pottery #ceramics #glaze

  4. One of the most fantastic tools I have found online is the Glazy.org calculator that can compare between a successful glaze and one you are trying to reformulate.

    This is very helpful when it comes to adjusting a glaze for local ingredients. #pottery #ceramics #glaze

  5. Today I am doing some glaze experiments using Mary Fox's beautiful Earthenware base glazy.org/recipes/798944

    I have had to do a bit of improvising, changing the feldspar, adding a little silica and iron oxide, etc, and also done some tests with the addition of ilmenite and manganese dioxide.

    But most of all, I want to see how the glaze interacts with a iron oxide stripe on the lips of the cups, both over and under. #pottery #ceramics #glaze

  6. Received the 2 ft / 600 mm long ceramics tubes from the factory. They are amazing! The thinnest is 2 mm outer diameter and has two 0.25 mm channels for the thermocouple wire. Perfectly straight, if you look straight in the hole you can see the back table.

    Used with type K or type C thermocouple wire to make some temperature sensors for the 2500 deg F to 3500 deg F range

  7. I did an interview with VoyageTampa that went live a couple of days ago. I talk about my journey with clay beginning in 2013 and included some hopeful tidbits for artists beginning their careers including how to access lessons for free and how to build a lasting base of collectors.

    My apologies—the article is ad pop-up city. I use Kagi and it wouldn’t load so I had to view it in a different browser.
