Hi Linda
Your gallery is great; a lot of great work that people submitted.
But I have to know, have you ever actually USED that throwing room? I just
can't believe how clean it is. I guess I see some specs of clay dust on
your bats. Am I the only one who rarely cleans my wheel? I used to but
just realized there was no point to it!

Hi all.
I've noticed that two of the photos in the cone 6 oxidation gallery on
my website use Ravenscrag Slip Glazes and they look just great.
One photo is by Charles Moore which show how wonderfully the Ravenscrag
Slip Glazes highlight texture and another is by Mert Kilpatrick which
shows a lovely flowing variegated blue that also breaks on edges
(thanks Charles and Mert!).
I have never tried the Ravenscrag Slip glazes but I am now inspired to
try them since they have so much depth to them.
Follow the links on my website to view the photos in the cone 6
oxidation gallery:
http://home.earthlink.net/~jessieadair/tests/id45.html
If anyone else is glazing at cone 6 oxidation with the Ravenscrag slip
glazes, I'd sure like if you would consider uploading your photos to my
website.
Charles Moore was kind enough to send me a link to Tony Hansen's very
informative website that contains recipes (and photos) for the
Ravenscrag Slip Glazes:
http://ravenscrag.com/
I tend to add raised and/or carved texture on my pottery so I think
this material is definitely worth exploring; don't know how I
overlooked it before but that's about to change.
Thanks Tony Hansen for creating such a wonderful material and a website
with information, glaze recipes and photos to make it accessible.
Regards,

Hi Cindi.
I'm laughing as I type this 'cause I did spend a little extra time
cleaning my closet studio just before taking that photo of it (best
foot forward and all that ).
Still, I do make a habit of cleaning my wheel after every use. I
work/play best in a clean/organized environment. I also think it
important to my health to keep the dust level to a minimum in there as
it is a small space and the concentration of silica dust could be a
real problem in that small closet if I don't keep things under control
(remember there are no windows in there so no cross ventilation).
You should see my closet (and me!), though, after a throwing session.
Due to the proximity of the walls to my wheel they get covered in
splashed clay and it is quite a mess in there. I just put in a
favorite CD and clean while I sing so it doesn't feel like a chore
anymore (if I put in a Salsa CD, well, then I also dance while I clean).
Once I'm done cleaning, singing and dancing, I usually go take one
final look at my newly cleaned studio in a closet, smile and tell
myself "life is good".
Best,
Linda

You can also find Ravenscrag glazes and pictures
in the recipe area of www.ceramicmaterials.info.
Just search for the word ravenscrag.
There are Alberta Slip glazes there also.
