I wasn’t on the call long today but while I was we were talking about workshops and I wanted to share this website. I haven’t taken any but I have several on my wish list!!! https://www.siporceramics.com/virtual-classes if anyone else has great resources post below for everyone!!
I would love to know from everyone what 3 pottery tools would you chose that you can't live without if you could only have 3 for the rest of your pottery life? Mine are : Mud tools red rib , Mud tools white sponge , DCT pear shaped trimming tool.
Well, I’d say throwing and hand building take 3 different ones! Throwing- wheel does not count?! Metal rib of death, sponge, and a wire. Hand building would be a rolling pin, a soft rib, and a scoring tool.
I’m hoping to get my first kiln later this year and trying to figure out what size to go for. I’m looking at a 60 litre 15amp as the electrics are more straightforward but wondering if in the long run I’d be better getting the electrics sorted for a bigger option? It will be in a shed at the side of my house. I’d love to hear about people’s experiences and if your first kiln has been your only one? 😁
I have a fairly large one 7 cubic feet- no idea in liters! And I fill it no problem BUT it sure would be nice to also have a smaller one for when I do over glaze decals or a quick hurry up before this thing fire. If I only had a smaller one, it’d be running non stop!
Here’s the replay for everyone who couldn’t join us live. Hope you’re all doing well! And if you’re currently melting in the heat 🥵… hang in there, stay hydrated, and hopefully you’ll find a nice cool spot today.
