Finally firing my very first time at home vs relying on someone else……hopefully I will have some good results to share soon

@Trey Foster it was worth the wait and pinched nerve in my neck running the 240 line myself. I’m so excited

What kind of clay do you use?
There’s so many clays out there and I used the same one for 10 years before trying something else. What clay are you using? Right now I’m using 3 different Standard Clays: 266 Dark brown, 211 hazelnut, and at school we use 553 buff stoneware. I love the way dark brown looks, but it also gives me the most problems…

Standard 112 for now. I have my eye on the black sculptural clay from standard (798) if anyone has used it and has insight. Not for throwing for obvious reasons.

Just picked up 25# of standard 240……who knew this stuff was like butter?

Luminaries (January 2026)
Our first community project is finally here! If you check out the classroom there are two brand new tutorials for making either a hand-built or wheel-thrown version. My hope is that you would run wild with this project and make it completely your own. This thread is for questions, comments, and brainstorming. Feel free to ask questions, answer questions, and post progress pictures. Have fun, be encouraging, and make something you love!

@Ryan Etere that’s awesome! I’ve been making my own soy candles but wax melts! Brilliant!

@Daniel Gray that’s a cool design and I love the carving. Can’t wait to see the finished product.

Did you get any pottery things this Holiday?
I didn’t get anything directly pottery related for Christmas, but I did get some LED lights for my studio! I’m working on making my home studio a lot more video friendly so I look slightly less like a troll in his hidey hole. Did y’all get any pottery stuff?

@Michelle Harris oh I’m jealous. I’m trying to buy a 822-3 now but they are on back order. Does yours have the touchscreen?

@Michelle Harris I appreciate that! I plan to put my kiln in a protected porch so I’m on the fence about the vent since it is open air. From what I’m reading the Skutt vent is better for interior air flow regardless. Thoughts?

How often are you muddy?
Just curious, how often are you in your studio or workspace?

@Trey Foster I do the same lugging water. With the cold temps here (26) I have contemplated using a fish tank heater to keep some of the water buckets atleast a little warmer. Serious thought, I have a painting room inside my home. How bad/dusty would it be if I transferred everything inside?
