What type do you do? Do you do your own firing?

I make pots sometimes and fire them in a bonfire clamp in the garden. We don't usually glaze them though as I tend to go for copies of archaeological pots. One day I'd love to have access to a modern kiln so I could do some glazing as well.

Do you have a kiln of your own?

wow..i've always wanted to fire pots like that, unfortunately i just don't have the option to do that..my sister has kilns, and the whole ceramic shop, so we pour our own, and fire them ...i have always wanted to learn to make thrown pots...thank you so much for sharing

I love to paint them I guess I get that from my mom and Aunt but I am no good at it I lack the talent that they have...


myLot reputation of 99/100. samsonskola (1297)  6 years ago

honey, you have your own talent..and i think you do well..you just are too busy to get a lot of practice, and your mother and i have been doing them for so much longer..hang in there! as long as you love to do it, you do well no matter what!

A friend of mine is teaching me to do ceramics. We start today I am so excited! We are starting with an angel mold. I can't wait!!


myLot reputation of 99/100. samsonskola (1297)  6 years ago

how great! i started with ceramics when i was 7 and it's been an ongoing love of my life!..very theraputic too...good luck and please let me know how you like it...and don't get too discouraged, cause it takes time to learn everything...i know your piece will be beautiful!..thanks for sharing


myLot reputation of 99/100. sweetdesign (2193)  6 years ago

I poured my first mold yesterday....a set of ducks. They turned out great!! I am hooked. I have a deer mold on its way to me....my first mold of my own!! I love it. I can't wait to do more. I can't wait to get my ducks painted and fired. We take them to my friends grandson's school and they fire them for free. This will work till I can get my own kiln in January. My friend is building her own kiln. I have contacted a lady who has a small one for $400.00 which is why I have to wait till January to buy it.


myLot reputation of 99/100. samsonskola (1297)  6 years ago

How wonderful! Isn't it great and exciting? It truly gets to become a passion very quickly!...keep it up and let me know what all you've made!

I'm making pots right now to put into a pit firing in mid January weather permitting.
Most of my experience is with wheel thrown ceramics and hand built glazed and kiln fired ceramics. I've done a bit of raku.
I'd love to have my own kiln someday.


myLot reputation of 99/100. samsonskola (1297)  6 years ago

kilns are wonderful to have around...i can't wait to see some pics of your pottery...thanks!

I used to do this years ago and I enjoyed it very much. I really need to do some of it again and that would mean first finding a local place that sells... is it called greenware? The place where I used to get it has gone out of business. I know my daughter would love it, too, because she enjoys many arts and crafts. Thank you for the reminder about how much I used to like this!


myLot reputation of 99/100. samsonskola (1297)  6 years ago

you're welcome! i have always found ceramics to be relaxing and great stress relief!...yes, it's greenware before it's fired the first time and bisque afterwards. Good luck and let me know what you're making!..thanks for responding
