Hi George, I would to thank the group for all the information on spraying glazes, spray booths etc., I now have some reading to do.  Again thanks everyone for the info.  I would like to pass along some information the Crickett spray guns users.  There factor is located about 15 minutes from where I live here in Ontario, Canada.  One of my spray guns stoped working, I contacted the company but I never heard back.  So I went to LeeValley, the only problem, they did not carry all the spare parts.  Just an fyi.

Hi George, I did forget to ask you, where is your spary set up.  Outside or in your basement.

Hi George, I have been following Electric cone 6 for quite a while.  I have two questions that might help we out with my  spraying process. Can you give me a hint of the spray applications that you use on your pots. ie the sequence. And is it possible to contact Cindy Shorter to find out her sequence of spraying.  Thanks for any assistance.

Love all the work your doing.

Ron

can we get a link to John Britt's new book via amazon?  Its great!!!

HI.  Yes. I was in the same class with Cyndy Shorter in TN this past June.  I have been struggling wiht glazes for years and also only had a low fire kiln for ages so I love the watercolor runs in SH glazes/// hope to branch out and find other glazes soon as I am tired of making everything have a big catch "foot".

I just logged on to the Insight-Live glaze database and added a piece of Juli Long's work to the Maggie Moo recipe.

Perhaps it was offline for a short while.

Can't loginto INsight? did we lose it?

My only sesquis are silicates.

It just hit me that you could gain a great deal of space at the top of our main page if you did away with the large buttons for what the member can do and simply add the functionality on the right side as small choices along with the existing login,  mail etc...That would allow for large image and less scrolling. 

Hi George.  Happy to be a 'test tile' so to speak.   I did find the questions somewhat probing and perhaps just encouraging details responses is less useful than asking specific questions.   One of the areas that would be good to ask is where we feel our strengths and weaknesses are - so that we can help and be helped by others.   And the questionnaire doesnt address how we feel about our chosen medium and how we are either making a living, just making some money or what we do with our wares.  Hope this helps and Im looking forward to connecting with this group.  My town is sort of thin on ceramics so outreach to others is key for me.   Kind regards,  Laura

Hello George!  You drove right by Pepper Creek Pottery on the way to the Freezer.  If you can swing by on your way north please call ahead to make sure were there.  Usually open from noon to 5pm but earlier or later as the clay requires.  

352 293 7756, would be great to meet you and give you the tour.  You can also check us out on FaceBook, Pepper Creek Pottery.

George, which iron oxide did  you settle on for your C Harris Temoku ?  ie which gave you good results ?

thanks for the clarification, George.  I'm not sure I would live long enough to organize the whole data base.  Must be some computer way to sort it out!  Keep makin' pots, its the only way we learn!

Hi George-

Thanks for the welcome!  When you mentioned browsing pictures did you mean pictures of the glaze recipes on the Sankey glaze database or pictures of other potters works?  I don't see any pix with the database and a keyword search just leads me to a conversation about my topic not to a recipe.  Speaking of which there are no recipes on the data base.  I would think the database would start with the recipe and then add technical commentary.  Sorry, I know I'm rambling but as a newbie it's hard to find the specific information I'm looking for.  Ann E.

You're welcome. thanks for the introduction. The Splendid Surfaces Conference was pretty hectic but fun having one group after another. Just wanted to chime in to see what's a happening over here.
