..... great video, thanks for sharing ....... the white clay is just the texture of thick slip, nothing else added?

I wonder if that technique could be used to save a slumping pot - wrap burlap around it as a sort of bandage until it hardens up.

did it shrink much?
@TonyLockhart3 ай бұрын
Yep, probably the same 10-14% that I've seen from all of the other cone 5 clay varieties. I did get some odd warping even though all of the zones in my kiln fire evenly....probably some kind of an error on my part when drying them out. Do you have experience with BMix? If so, have you noticed a reasonable amount of shrink?

How thick did you apply the castile blue to prevent it from running?
@TonyLockhart3 ай бұрын
That's tough to answer because you have to do a lot of trail and error to figure it out. I will say that I lightly spray 2 layers and all goes well. I also find that Castille Blue runs a lot more on darker clays, so that's something to take into consideration. When spraying, the specific gravity of my glaze is between 55 and 60 baumes....looks kinda thick like cream. Hope that helps!

Absolutely beautiful!! Looove the sound of the rain!! I used BMix for several years and then they started having the problems with it not vitrifying and I haven’t touched it since then. I have friends that had entire kiln loads not vitrify and there is just no way I want to deal with that. Good luck. Also may I ask what tape you use? I bought some tape and it doesn’t bend around to make a curve at all.
