Profile Information:

What is your experience with ceramics in general. (Long answer encouraged)
I threw a couple of bowls in junior high school and have thrown none since.

Four years ago I got volunteered as a "chemist" for the non-profit community ceramic studio my husband manages. Since being drafted, I've found some time to craft some sculptural works.
What is your current involvement with electric fired ceramics? (long answer encouraged)
Apprentice Glaze Chemist

I originally made all the glazes at our outdoor studio. Now an expanded team of glaze makers bring us old favorites and new creations.

Four years ago we replaced our kiln sitter with a computer controlled kiln, a Bartlett V6-CF controller modified slightly for Cress.

What a difference it makes, being able to program several hour 200 F pre-heats, using a pre-programmed Cone-Fire, or adding slow-cooling to ^6 firings, all with the ease of microwave oven like controls.

Sharing ceramic glaze ideas and happy accidents.

I've taken photos of just about every experiment we've done at our studio, and this website seems like the ideal place to share them with others contemplating similar ceramic variations.

    Norm would like to try your antique white if you don't mind since you have used some of my glazes.  Would greatly appreciate it.  I used a similar glaze in gas but have not been able to find one like that in electric.

    Norm I see an Antique White on the Lakeside Pottery web site  but no recipe.  That is the one I am talking about.

    Norm, I like your posts on Materials Science from Alfred University. Unfortunately the link(s) don't work. Any ideas?

    Thanks,
