Southport NC. Anyone recognize the print ?

Seriously, why does diamondcore only offer 9, 10, 12 and 14?

i have zero desire to make one from clay

Hey there! I am an intermediate potter who has been wanting to develop a home studio. I've been on the hunt for a wheel for many months, but have been waiting for a good deal to come my way. Do you guys think this is a good investment? The seller doesnt know why it's not running so it is a bit of a risk, but man, $70 seems like a steal regardless. I beleive the model is a Creative Industries Pottery Wheel, Model JR, 36W

I want to mail this donut vase I made to my friend in NY from me in FL as wedding gift.Out of the 3 donut vases I made, this one came out the nicest- she's a dear friend of mine so I'm sending my love along this way. I couldn't attend the wedding for personal reasons.

I can pack it tight and get my own box but was wondering for people who ship their pottery, what service is the most reliable/affordable to getthe job done? I'm considering USPS as they have their own boxes but idk if another service is cheaper if I'm still going to pack it tightly myself. Any advice is welcome!!! I dont sell or ship my pottery at all since it's just a hobby but I should know how to do this, right?

My first ever painted Turkish tile

Hi! For my wedding favors I am planning on making clay blueberries for my guests, about an inch in diameter! Any tips on how to hand build these and keep them spherical in the kiln while firing?

Thanks!

I am new to firing my own pottery as I just got a kiln. I have been using cone 6 clay to throw all my pieces and I'm wondering if someone could guide me to a good bisque fire and glaze fire temperature. I know it's going to be trial and error but I'd love a good starting point!

I have a space in a shared workshop. Recently I've put up some lovely shelves and have been making my little space more streamlined. I've been commissioned to make several hundreds of cups for a local shop and have been prepping for that. I've made 115 small plaster bats plus some other sizes. I'm looking for space saving suggestions on how to store all these bats so they dry quickly and are not in the way. Anyone has DIY'ed a good system for themselves? Pictures would be wonderful, please.

i tried using paint instead of underglaze as its my first time firing any pottery but the paint didnt show 🙈 is there any way that i can use underglaze on top of the already glazed piece ? i dont want to waste what ive already made :( thank you in advance 😌😌

If i burnish with oil will that caise cracking? I lnow youre supposed to warm the pot first to get all moisture out. But i want that sweet mirror burnish.

I run an after school program for teens, and one of the activities they have requested is pottery. I unfortunately know nothing about pottery, so I have no idea what wheel to buy. When I do some googling I see everything from $100 to $10,000 and I have no idea what I’m looking at. Could anyone recommend a sturdy pottery wheel that is good for beginners but can take the beating of several dozen teenagers?

Hi y’all, im a little over a year into doing it pottery and I’m curious if I can add more underglaze (velvet amaco) to this piece and refire it (maybe a bisque refire??) and have it stick? or would it not work because there’s clay in underglaze? I want to fill in the sgraffito so the image pops more but not sure how possible it is with the amaco underglaze.

My wheel is in a garage in a house with 7 other people and things get moved around. I haven’t been able to find the guards and I’ve just started this journey (after owning the wheel for a good year before ever using it) Has anyone else had this problem and found a work around besides just adding a tarp wall? I’d buy new but money is tight and I just don’t feel good paying almost 100 dollars for plastic

I have around 14 pieces and looking for appraisal.... Thanks.
