Wall Art
See the latest - do you do wall art and if so, do you attach hangers, and if so, how do you do it?
I've made garden tiles, but never thought about them being hung on a wall??

Burnishing - not glazing
Does anyone have experience with this? I always thought burnishing was beating the clay lightly with a tool to get a polished surface and then glazing?? What do you think?

Sculpting plus paint

What do you think? I've used some acrylics before on some failed glazes, but sign painter's paint?

Who are the shoulders you stand on?
Excerpt from the Potter's Council ad
2011 Potters Council Juried Show “The Shoulders We Stand On”
The 2011 Potters Council Members Show for the NCECA Conference in Tampa, Florida will pay tribute to our roots, the significant influences which shape us and guide our work in clay. We’re creative heirs standing on the shoulders of Giants. We cannot help but reference and renew their ideas in our own work. These distinctive inspirations become the touchstones of our best original efforts.
Your inspiration might lie in the simple forms of an anonymous Ancient potter. Perhaps you’ve been seduced from afar by the work of legendary potters. A teacher may have given you a unique point of view, personal guidance or new set of skills.
Your work for this particular exhibition may have a visual link to a particular culture or artist. It might find its connection on a more philosophical level. It must however show both a clear source of inspiration and a truly original new direction. We do not seek copies of our roots, but works which honor them with fresh, innovative interpretations.
Tell us about the role of the influence on your personal work and how your chosen entry draws upon it, then goes beyond.
Complete details for submission coming soon. Now is the time to reflect and begin developing ideas so YOU can be featured in the 2011 Potters Council Juried Show.

Kiln Washes
See article please. What are y'all's experiences? I have never had a problem, but I do make sure that I let it dry for 48 hours either on a new shelf or rewashing an old one after sanding lightly.
