Thanks, Miri. We're making 2 pounders now; we guess in the style of your bowl they'd be about 8". ~j&j

I make 6" bowls (cereal/soup) from 1.4lbs of clay. The one pictured was more like 4 or 5 lbs. My clay has 12% shrinkage, and the sized I'm quoting are post firing.

That'd be a big pasta bowl, even for us (we like pasta--;). We asked because we're about to make some larger (8") bowls--maybe a stackable set--for the Empy Bowls Project. Do you have that in PR? Our local potters, even us junior leaguers, make bowl…

Thanks! Not sure how big a pasta bowl is but this bowl is 11" in diameter, 3" high. :-)

Miri, We really like the blue band where the two glazes overlap. It's hard to tell the size. Is that a pasta bowl or something larger? ~joan and jess

Jeff, it looks a little blueish, but so does the background, which we guess is really a neutral gray. So, if the photo should be orange-ish, it doesn't look that way on our screen. In any case, it's lots redder than the Harris we're getting right no…

Well, make some more of those pots. You should wear a crown. We're still mystified about those brown spots. We hesitate to say 'pyroxene' because those are supposed to be a nice yellow gold. And, besides, they require iron, we think. We don't believ…

Joan and Jess, The yellow iron oxide makes SCM for warm colors. Steven calls this his "SCM for orange." I did not add it for this glaze. I am also not sure why the SCM for cool colors (SCM for white) causes the crystals to appear rusty, but it seems…
yesterday
One more question, Michele: Brian Searle quotes Steven Hill's recipe for SCM and states that the added 2% yellow iron oxide in the recipe is "optional." Did you include the iron? If you did, that probably explains the brown "rust" spots. If you didn…

Joan and Jess, Thanks so much! This is a sprayed layered glaze. The first layer is Steven Hill's Strontium Crystal Magic for white, with Bill Van Gilder's Teal blue over the top. It is oxidation fired to cone 7 with a hold at the top for one hour, b…

Michelle, this is probably the most spectacular piece we've seen in weeks. We've so many questions--what is the glaze, for one. And, for another--is that an oxidation firing? Thanks for sharing that the gorgeous pot. ~joan and jess

George Lewter It's time to get back in the studio and start on the next batch of pots and test glazes. I've had a good month off w/ holidays & vacation.
