Would it be an idea to cut the mortar in half (lengthwise) and remove some clay to ensure thorough drying when at leather hard? I fire in a community kiln and can't risk explosions

Hi Cats, You could if you would like. Make sure you have an air hole and the mortar is strong enough to to grind. I just make sure they are completely dry and never had any issues. 😊

You were freaking me out a little with all that dipping! I love it lol

If the bottom of the pestle is not glazed, is it food safe to grind the spices?

@PotteryCrafters

That is a very good question. Yes, only if the clay is fired to vitrification. Like cone 6 or 10 stoneware or porcelain. Earthenware can't be vitrified.

Thank You for sharing . great colors, but there are very few selling points in my country. Unfortunately, these varieties are not there.

I have Question about your glaze. What brand are you using and do you buy it on online or local? 🙂

Dear Marie, Thank you very much for your interest. After the corona became 1 $ 6.94 Turkish Lira. For this reason, I have been using Turkish brands the most for the last month. But other than that, Duncan I use the most, but I don't know how to mix it. I shop sometimes, go to the store and sometimes online. Of course, now I can only shop online. I found an online page called Bigceramicstore. Do you send to Turkey, I asked, but still they did not answer. I think there is a ban on sales right now. We are having hard times. Marie I wrote so long. I hope I wrote everything right

Could you list the steps of applying the glazes? Also how long till each layer of glaze is completely dry?

@PotteryCrafters

1 inside dip Obsidian and 2 brush coats outside. 1 inside dip Indigo float and 2 brush coats outside. 2 rim dips of Seaweed and 3 rim dips of Oatmeal. I let each layer dry at least 30 minutes or until it is no longer cold to the touch. 🙂 Hope this helps.

Check out potterycrafters.com/recommended-tools-best-glazes/ on this page, the Blue rutile candle holder is one solid color(three thick coats) and Firebrick shows one solid color on the bottom half of the mug. The Seaweed love to run so I use that mainly for a dripping glaze, like on the rim and bands across. Thank you for letting me know. I will add a few more pictures to my glaze page with solid colors and let you when I do. 👍😃

Why do you not glaze the bottom of the pestle ?

@PotteryCrafters

Жыл бұрын

That is a good question Angie. I did not have kiln stilts to place the pestle on at the time, so I had to burnish the bottom and fire it. Now I have kiln stilts so I can glaze the pestle completely. 😊

don't you end up grinding glaze into your spices if you add glaze to the inside of the mortar? I've only seen storeware examples with glaze on the outside of the bowl only. Beautiful glaze!

Hi Christine. Good Question. No I havn't had a problem with that because the glaze is like glass. it would be like using a glass bowl. 😊

Hi Marie ... further to this ... do you think the mortar would stand up to use if the interior were NOT glazed? The mortar I have right now is made of some kind of rough, unpolished stone, perhaps granite. The roughened surface of the mortar bowl and the pestle do a good job of grinding spices ... I would think that the spices might slip around more easily in the shiny, glassy surface of a glazed bowl...?

Hi Allan. Yes, you are right. I would recommend a Cone 6 or 10 clay with grog. Just fire to vitrify the clay because bacteria can get in the pores of the fired clay over time. This can explain more if you like. Here is the link for you potterycrafters.com/do-you-have-to-glaze-pottery/

@@PotteryCrafters Is there any way to know for certain whether my Cone 6 clay with grog will vitrify when fired to Cone 6? In the page you link to, you suggest that you need to fire to a higher cone, e.g. cone 10. I had been working under the assumption that a Cone 6 clay would vitrify when fired to Cone 6 ... is that not the case?

@PotteryCrafters

Yes cone 6 does. I'm sorry that was error and I didn't fix it. I taught years ago that cone 10 was the only clay that vitrified. Since then I learned that my teacher was wrong. Thank you for letting me know.
