Recently there have been allusions to Clayart's inability
to handle attachments to members' posts (they get
stripped off, automatically). This shortcoming was
addressed several years ago by Holly Kilpatrick.
She graciously created a Flickr account for Clayart
and announced its existence several times.
To use it one simply attaches the photo (or PDF, or
whatever) to an e-mail addressed to Flickr, as she explains below.

For those of you who want to understand more about glazes Chic Lotz is
giving one of her glaze workshops at Metchosin International Summer
School of the Arts
July 2-6, 2012.
The school is close to Victoria at the southern end of Vancouver
Island - it?s just plain beautiful there.
Chic knows how to teach and her enthusiasm is catching - I wish I had
had her as a teacher when I was growing up.
And she can explain how to put all the pieces together - just what so
many potters need to start using what they already know about glazes.
Here is a description of the course.
Glaze Basics Simplified: Developing Colour and Surface with Chic Lotz
at MISSA July 2-6
Students will perform hands-on mixing and firing of simple line blends
to learn how to achieve the glaze surfaces and colours they desire for
sculpture or dinnerware. They will also learn about each ingredient
and its function in the glaze as well as discover how varying the
ratios of three major glaze components affects stability, color,
firing temperature, glaze fit and
glaze surface.
Colour development as well as glossy, matte and textured surfaces will
be explored. Glaze calculation software will be used by the instructor
to show you how compare a variety of glazes.
Cone 10 glaze recipes will be altered down to cone 6 and students will
fire cone 6 line blends each night in an electric kiln so results can
be discussed the next day. Students will leave the workshop organized
and empowered to experiment at their own firing temperature.
