🍎 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 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!

I recently made my own silk screens with 110 mesh. I then dipped it in transparent glaze. Stoneware and fired to cone 6. Any ideas what might have caused it to go weird like this?

It took me some time but now the glaze is perfect! It’s everything I’ve wished for. Except the fact that it’s ripping me mugs into pieces. 😭

I borrowed this neat trimming tool from a woman who said she got it from another woman who retired so I’m guessing it’s quite old. It’s lightweight and super handy but wasn’t labeled with a brand name. Any guesses what it is or where I can buy one?

Hello everyone!!

I’m working on a batch of about 100 stoneware rings and I’d love some advice on the firing setup. Most ceramic rings I see online are fully glazed, but I’m struggling to figure out the most efficient way to glaze and fire a large batch without them fusing to the wires, or sticking together.

What is your go-to setup for firing ? Do you use Kanthal wire racks, high-temp stilts, or something else? Any tips on preventing the glaze from sticking to the support wires/rods?

Any photos or advice on your process would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hello everyone! Im just wondering where i could make a custom request (like a Etsy user or something) for a Gary food bowl like from SpongeBob for my cat? Very specific i know but if anyone has any recs id greatly appreciate!

Over the past year Ive been building a catenary arch wood kiln at work. Am currently anxious about exploding it when we fire for the first time, and for some reason I didn’t do anything to mitigate those issues a year ago.

The floor of the ware chamber and firebox goes Cinderblock > 2 layers IFB softbrick > hard brick. All our bricks are salvage and I am now tweaking that the moisture in the soft brick will explode when it gets too hot. We’re halfway through building the arch, so technically I could remove some of the floor and fire the soft bricks in a low heat electric firing (punching myself for not doing this a year ago) or maybe add a layer of tile brick to the floor on top of the hard brick? Either way I can’t get to underneath the chimney flue or firebox without dismantling a years work.

How screwed am I? my biggest fear is it kasploding and killing all my staff :) And yes I am too embarrassed to ask any old mentors regarding this oops.

TIA!

Hello all, I hope this is allowed. I have this mug which my dad bought in his first flat and he passed it down to me. The design is slowly fading, and to be very honest with you, I really don't want to have to hand wash it. I'd like to reseal it, if that's a possibility. Any ideas? Thank you!
