Laguna 608. I’m experimenting with a few different terra sigillatas in soda firings at cone 6.

Certainly a time factor. But could certainly nerd out in all things pottery. The local food co-op I work for has an employee only discord channel that has subtopics pertaining to pets, food, music, art, YouTube, plants, politics.

Would something like a worldwide potters discord channel be a better place to have more thoughtful discussions? Discord would be less business oriented and a place for ceramicists to get clay nerdy.

Super talented. Once I finish my back piece I might have the courage to have my stomach done.

Not wood fired. All electric kilns.

Agreed. Or at least a pic of some art of yours.

I have not deleted FB or IG yet. I really hate being on a platform owned by Zuck. At the same time I’m also trying to get my work seen by more people and build a client base. It’s not an easy choice.

Does anyone have a list of best practices, settings or tricks for BlueSky? Since starting this account ive discovered I'm old.

Respect. Admittedly I have been looking at Ron’s work lately trying to gain some insight on how to glaze these vessels.

Thank you. I’m happy with the form. The glazing isn’t quite where I envision it. Getting there
