Hello all,
Perhaps someone out there knows of a source for "bisqueware feet" although
that may not be the correct term exactly. I am constructing rectangular
ceramic lanterns. I have drilled a hole in the bottom of the lantern for
mounting a lamp socket. The electrical cord comes in through the hole. In
order to lift the bottom of the lantern off the table and provide enough
room for the cord I was thinking of epoxying ceramic supports to the four
corners of the lantern. I was hoping to find them ready made and not have
to make my own.
By the way I am fairly new to this business and have greatly appreciated
the opportunity to eavesdrop on the goings-on in ClayArt and to
occasionally participate. I have learned a lot and my email files are
bulging with carefully cataloged advice gleaned from various ClayArt
discussions.
Best to all and thanks, Conrad

Conrad,
I've never heard of bisqueware feet but by golly I'll bet someone out there
makes them , or would if there was a market.
I am always looking for ways to use found objects in new ways. On my
clay boxes I have used ceramic beads, knobs, drawer pulls and chopstick
holders as feet,
Depends on the design of your lamp but some nice turned wood might be good
too.

The Hurricanes are behind us and the Nature Coast is looking more
normal everyday.
Gee I hope I haven't misspelled anythin .

Conrad,
I think press molding would be the sensible, cost effective way to go.
Cheers,

Conrad,
If the lantern isn't already fired, why not just drill a hole for the
cord? Or even if it's fired you can still drill it with a small cement
drill, works well on ceramic. Mike Gordon
