finishing pinch, starting coil ...

How do we get something in the kiln to get bisque?

How many times does something get fired?

What happens if there is no hole in the project?

How do I make a coil pot?

To dry or not to dry ... Friday's eternal question

1/30/2015

How do we dry work so it doesn't crack?
Don't just leave hand projects (or any big project) out to dry - it can crack - let it dry slowly.

Generally - day one, open bag, day two in locker out of bag - then bisque shelf.

BUT you want to finish work when it's in a leather state so - how do you control that?

Note - we will mostly be starting a new project while you're still working on the previous one.

what do you need to do to turn something in?

note - sometimes work can be late - but after two weeks you will lose 25% -
after three weeks 50% - after four weeks - or near the end of the quarter you
can lose all credit.
