I am so happy I finally found this group! I was fortunate to be given a large 22 year old large, Cress kiln and a pottery wheel along with all the tools to go with it two years ago after my friend's dad had passed. I had no idea what the kiln would do, but since I knew it had been fired once a year. I took a chance and hit the start button on my first bisque load and it all did fine.. then moved to glaze fire and all went fine..but then it started to overfire each load. I had nobody here to ask. I named my kiln lovingly Mr. Doubtfire from that point on, and just watched cones from the peeps and stopped the fire. Cone 6 was falling at Cone 3 setting. Then it underfired one day and I knew it was way overdue to replace all the parts and coils.. with AI help we did. I'm at the point, I want to create different and unique ceramics. I don't sell a whole lot here where I live, and have not branched to online sales yet, but I am way overstocked with pottery. Now I am using AI for glaze combos and artistic idea feedback with some interesting results. Just wondering if anyone else uses AI for inspiration?
