Pretty sure that’s a CBC show, so hopefully Netflix view numbers don’t matter.

How do you keep your reclaim from running off the plaster bat? I put mine in a pillowcase but this looks much neater!

I just have a baby kiln (L&L Plug and Fire) but as long as you do your research for safety stuff — reddit and youtube are good places for info on using kilns — the computerized kiln is basically like running a microwave. It was quite easy to figure everything out.

Curious to know what your usual clay is? Tuckers, Plainsman, or PSH? I use PSH myself.

I’d love to hear about your favorite things from independent crafters and artists. Stuff your friends and family made you absolutely qualifies. Just something you use that a real person made that makes you happy.

Or a pic of your pet. That’s cool too.

The vase in the middle was made by Andrew McCullough of Nu Ceramics. I bought it many years ago, when I didn’t really have the money to spend on pretty things with no use, but I could not resist the turquoise! Fast forward and I’m now making my own turquoise vases at his new pottery studio.
