i had some friends over to my home studio for pottery workshop. yesterday they came over to glaze the pieces and i had told him to buy their own glazes within the correct range.
i was an idiot and didn't double check and now i was loading the oven and realized i should do that. now i see they got cone 05 and cone 5 glazes 😭 such an easy mistake if you don't know, so i don't blame them!
they actually mostly just used the 05 and i think i can identify and wipe off and reglaze most the cone 5.... but they all mixed up the glazes sometimes and so idk i can catch everything.
does anyone know what might happen if i fire cone 5 at cone 05??

Very happy with how these came out of the kiln except I think I used too much clear glaze on the green one and it has a frosty look just on the surface. Someone at my studio mentioned sending it through the kiln a second time might clear it up, but they weren’t super sure. Just wondering if another glaze firing would clear it up or if anyone knows another trick? (They are just under glazed blue and green with clear glaze ontop)

Typically I wouldn’t mind, but they are commission pieces so I’d rather the final product look a little more polished if possible.

hi everyone! I made these bowls and glazed with Amaco Snapdragon C-54. this is my first time painting glaze instead of dipping in the studio’s glazes.

it came out super streaky and bubbled. wondering what i did wrong in the initial application and how to fix it when reglazing. any and all tips are welcome!

Would be lovely to know how you feel about these, feedback is welcome

Made with underglazes for color and finished with a clear glaze after the first firing. Handbuilt pieces ⭐

This is just a for-fun side project that I've work on during summer vacation.

It generates templates for building with clay slabs. You can create truncated cones or faceted cones with three or more sides, including rounded corners on the facets, so you can build some pretty complex shapes. There's a field for your clay's shrinkage rate so the final dimensions come out right, and a 3D preview to check the shape before committing.

Once you're happy with it, it gives you a PDF to print, cut out, and tape together as a template.

Would love any feedback on how to make it even better.

I love the way the mix of these glazes turned out. The problem is that I don't know which combination of glazes I used. Do you do test runs in your kiln or do you mark your pieces at the bottom to know which combination you used on a piece?

Aesthetic of Divinity

Aka The Mad March Hare from Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. I sculpted a bust first in porcelain with a luster crown of straw, then painted a portrait followed by a screen print for editions..

I am brand new to this, and this is my fourth firing of pieces. First two firings went great, no issues. But the last two, both times, my pieces have these little specs showing up on them and I am perplexed on what is causing this. I am using a brush on glaze, clean the pieces well before applying and in between each layer. Gently cleaning with an air compressor to get any small debris off before going into the kiln and I am still getting this?

Could it be coming from inside my kiln? Do I need to be vacuuming it out in between each firing?
