We love when our international friends call in and today we have a great question from Colombia. The gang talk about making vitrified clay with South American ingredients, the logistics of changing firing temperatures, and the effect of rebisquing a pot.
We start today’s episode with a trip to Materials Corner to talk about #1 Pottery Plaster. The gang also answer listener questions about converting celsius to fahrenheit and the cooling rates of kilns.
This week’s show starts with a discussion of a recent viral ceramic video and the merits of a potter dipping pots in water immediately after glazing. The gang also answer listener questions about the amount of boron glazes, melting in cone 6 mattes, and a safety concern from drinking out of a crazed mug.
We start off season six of the podcast with a great question about customer service around ceramics. The gang answer a question from a paint-you-own pottery studio about reassuring customers that they don’t use lead and using the full range of cobalt and copper sources that are available on the market.
