Subject: Re: Pottery Tips.....
Greetings all, thought I'd put in my two coppers worth. For all you budding
potters out there here's what I know....
I started in Kelethin where there are all the ingredients I need at various
vendors, but of a mission travelling back and forth between platforms, but
anyway...
I started raising my skill first by making small and medium jars, it rose
fairly steadily to the 20's, then I branched out to ceramic linings and
skewers becuase they were a bit harder and worth more in the long run. I
have got my skill up to the forties and am experimenting with medium bowls
and trying to work out the recipe for a small deity.
Small bowl recipe may still be broken so try at your own peril :)
Pie tins are next on my list to try.
For those that want a basic run down:
Take the required sketch and required amount of clay (not stacked) and with
a flask of water combine on the pottery wheel, if successful put unfinished
item in the kiln with the required firing sheet and combine..voila!
Goodluck with your Pottering ;)
