Still trying

Am still messing around with fuming techniques. When it works, the pieces come out gorgeously. The old maxim: "good child; horrid child" definately applies here. When the techniques work, the result is awesome; when it doesn't the results are horrid.
My next quest? How does one redeem horrid pots ????
Happy glazing trails

Am going to try to refire them with another glaze over the unattractive areas.
Just am not sure which glazes will cover best -- so that is an experiment in itself !!!
The mosaics is a great idea tho. Am fastly accumalating enough for something of that kind . . . .

Recommended Pottery Suppliers

Bailey Pottery Equip Corp: at http://www.baileypottery.com OR call (800) 431-6067 and speak with Susan. I would do more business with this company except it is out on the east coast and shipping fees to the Pacific Northwest are spendy.
Bullseye Glass Co: at http://www.bullseyeglass.com OR call (888) 220-3002. This is a great company to do business with! Very friendly and helpful. For those of you who wish to incorporate glass into your clay products, i highly recommend this company.
Clay King Company: at http://www.clay-king.com OR call (888) 838-3625 and speak with Chris Williams who is extremely patient with all your questions. He's a dear. The company consistently sells major pottery equipment at below market price. They are punctual in shipping, efficient (emailing receipts and tracking #'s immediately) and just a lovely group to work with.
Coyote Clay & Color: at http://www.coyoteclay.com OR call (866) 344-2250 and speak with Martin. Their speciality is Cone 6 glazes.
Georgies Ceramic & Clay Company: at http://www.georgies.com OR call (800)999-2529. This company produces awesomely versatile clay.
Paragon Kiln Company: I would not recommend this company. Bought a brand new electric digital-programmer kiln from them and 4 months later it stopped functioning correctly. They do not stand behind their products and their "warranty" is a joke.
U.S. Pigment Corp: at http://www.uspigment.com OR call (800) 472-9500 and speak with Saheeb. This company sells hard-to-find oxides and has reasonable prices. Saheeb is a joy to work with and seems to genuinely care about you and your success.
