VeLVet_KiSseS asked:


Im in ceramics, and our next project is an animal.
I am just looking for suggestions for what animal to make.
I dont really have a favorite animal, which is why im asking for opinions.
I dont really want it to be a common animal either ex. dog. cat.
maybe something a little unique…
just give me your opinions.

Rick (rhudson_sdady@yahoo.com) asked:


So from what most I’ve seen in books and online is the people have already bisque fired their pots, and such. But i was wondering if there was a way to bisque fire in the raku kiln, then glaze and fire again. So if there is a way to bisque fire it could you please tell me the amount of time it took and if there any extra procedures to bisquing it in raku kiln.

pounce asked:


I’m starting a company sort of. I’m a college art student and I’m going to start selling my art, which is mostly ceramics. When I was younger my dad used to call me McDoodle, which I always wanted to name my business, but it’s ceramics not drawings. My name is Meg and I really need help,a name that has to do with ceramics, glazing, kilns, something like that.

gossamer asked:


I’m not talking about decals that are pasted or painted on. I’m talking about decals that are actually fired into the clay slip. I can buy decals, but I don’t like the pictures. I want to create my own pictures and make fired dishes out of them–with the pictures incorporated into the dishes like the ones you buy in stores.

Jdog asked:


In my ceramics class the assignment is to make a clay slab pot using 3 or more slabs, it also has to be at least 12 inches tall. I want to do something really cool and creative, any ideas. oh and we also have to incorporate some sort of texture.

A asked:


I have to do a large vase with two handles and I just came up with the idea to do an oval-shaped vase with a peacock on it.

I think if I sketch it out on paper beforehand and use the paper to somehow transfer the design, I think I could make it look good.

But would a big peacock drawing/design on the side of a vase look tacky? I’m trying to think in terms of: if I saw that for sale in a store what would my reaction be?
