I'll ask that question one more time. My wrists are too weak for large
throwing and I am willing to sacrafice some of my orginality and buy somebody
elses thrown bowls and mugs, Just need to find a terra cotta bisque supplier
for my majolica work. If you know of any suppliers please advise.
Thanks..........Romar in Philly

Romar,

I don't know of any suppliers, but I have seen some advertise in the
classified section of Ceramics Monthly. Maybe you could special order
terra-cotta bisque from someone like that?

Also, I'm not sure whether it would be of interest, but there are machines
that center and open clay, designed for those lacking the wrist strength
for those high-stress operations. Again, I've seen them advertised in CM.

Hope you find what you need,

Cindy Strnad
