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? 😁

Hi all - I have my 2nd market tomorrow and the first one with 2 tables, gazebo, etc. I had a dry run last night and would love some constructive feedback on improvements to the look. I’ve ordered some battery powered fairy lights for the gazebo to brighten it up a bit. The layout is ok but I’m not 100% happy with it. Does anyone have any thoughts on if it’s better to group by colour or function? Ie practical things together then decorative things together or does it not really matter? This is a massive learning curve for me so your thoughts would be appreciated! 😊 Also a massive shout out to Maxine at Collypit Pottery for her wuuurm tutorial and Audrey Lynn Studios for the bee bowls and everyone else for the glaze inspirations!

Does everyone on here have a personal kiln? I currently only have the ability to fire my pieces at a community art center. I don't know if I can have a kiln if my own or even afford one!

Can you please share any tips, tricks, tutorials for how to use gelli plates for ceramics? I am interested in using a gelli plate and I have a little one, but I’m having a hard time doing anything other than screenprinting on it. I’d like to try other things!

Hello all 👋 Advice needed. I glazed this mug all over with Macadamia x2 before the Sandstone and Green Jasper and as you can see the top is very matte, not great for drinking out of… (I think I confused macadamia with birch 🙄) What would you use to reglaze over the top and inside? Clear, honey flux or birch? I will probably leave the outside of the decal as is. Any other suggestions welcome ❤️ This mug came out off my latest kiln opening which I would really appreciate you watch. Some more subscribers would be fantastic too 👍🏻 @MudSoulsPottery
