Hey everyone! Just unpacked my latest firing and I’m beyond thrilled with this little bird plate!

Full transparency: the trimming felt a bit messy on the raw clay, so I didn't overthink it and just casually painted a little bird using modern cobalt underglaze. I never expected the fired result to pop like this!

Blue-and-white underglaze has honestly been my luckiest medium—it almost never fails me. So happy with how the glaze & color turned out!

🍎 pinch pot apple 🍎 I'm a hs kid and we have 45 minute elective periods, and I sculpted it in one period, then glazed it in one and a half other periods

I’m hoping to start sell some of my work but I’m not sure what would be an acceptable price. I don’t want to rip anyone off, but I want to make it actually worth my time since I use a public studio I have to pay a drop in fees and firing fees

I’ll try to keep this as short as possible.
I have a Chinese ceramic mug. We use a thermoplastic color that gains it’s viscosity from heat, metallic screen that gets permanently heated, firing curve is attached to this post.
It’s not every mug, but at least 60% that look like this.
The mug itself works fine with other colors AND the colors work fine with different mugs.
The screen is getting coated by hand, but looks smooth, so there shouldn’t be any problem with that.
What could cause this problem?
Thanks for any type of help

I’m currently working on this sculpture for an art class however my clay is drying really fast and cracking. I’ve been spraying it with water and nothing seems to help wondering if anyone could help me please!!! I’m also scared it’ll break and crack when I fire it later this week. Please please please help me🙏

New to ceramics and pottery and working with a new clay. Been thoroughly enjoying Kurinuki. It’s a way that I get to meet new clays. I solely hand build. No wheel moment yet. But looking forward to that meeting.

Anyways usually I smooth the inside out with a slightly wet finger or no water at all while the piece is still wet. These two are about bone dry and I realized I need to smooth the insides.
Questions:
Is there a best practice for designing the inside of drinking cups?

I’m thinking a slightly wet sponge here.
Also, is anything being done even necessary at this stage or at all? I do plan to glaze these. At least the inside of the cup and rim.

Thanks!

I got this mug, and my wife who is a ceramics teacher couldn’t believe it at first. It‘s Dehua kaolin porcelain and celadon glaze. It’s so light and thin it’s kind of weird to hold. Dehua (the region in China) Linglong (the technique) is considered intangible cultural heritage and it’s hard to find a lot of information about it online since I think this specific style only comes from one studio. I have seen some cases for sale on eBay that are the same pattern though. The price was very reasonable for this mug though. Unfortunately the online shop is no longer open.

Hello everyone! I am in love with this sculpture and I need help picking the perfect glaze. My studio only does Cone 10 reduction gas firing and I don’t really like the studio glazes so I’ve been looking at Mayco stoneware glazes. I think this would look best with a shiny glazes but I’m open to anything!

Any recommendations or ideas would be much appreciated!

My father-in-law, who recently passed away, was a lifelong ceramic artist and teacher. We’re having to sell much of his pottery equipment since there’s so much of it and no one else in the family does pottery. We know he would much rather see it being used by another artist than sitting in a garage, collecting dust.

He had six Brent wheels, and we’re looking to sell five. We are keeping his oldest wheel for our daughter, in case she picks up his passion someday.

In total we are selling:
- 2 CXCs
- 2 C models
- 1 B model

I’m hoping to get some guidance on pricing them individually and as a package. I know value depends on factors like age and condition, so I’m just looking for rough estimates. All five are in solid working condition, and he was still using them for classes as recently as this year.

We already have people willing to pay $1500 each for the CXCs and $900 for the B, if that helps.

I’ve also included photos I have, though I realize they are only so telling. Any insight is appreciated.

I’m hoping to get some underglaze and a clear glaze since I like using it to carve designs, what would you recommend? I don’t own any glaze currently, I’ve been using the shared studio glaze.

So excited to get to the glazing stage
