[Artists-making-art] tips for getting clay fired

[Kendra Schaber]

Hi Heather, where in the northwest was the Native American meusum? I am from Oregon which is in the northwest and I might have heard of it.

        Amen to that - grin! And you don't have to make an appointment to do it! Giggle. I've been traveling and haven't had a chance to work on any of my artwork for nearly two weeks. I can tell! 

        I did go to a very interesting museum about Native American culture in the northwest. They had a really good basket weaving display that was tactile and touchable. I only wished they had more finished baskets you could check out with your hands. They also had what they called story poles (like totem poles) that were carved and very interesting. 

        I need some "therapy" soon though! I'm getting edgy! Grin!

          Hi, Georgia, and veryone!
          As an undergraduate in Psychology, which means as oen who's been studying this field, let me tell you that: art, at any level it is expressed, either you make it as a beginner, or you are a... well known or famous artist, is therapy anyways!
          Keep going!

            Hi,

            I talked to this potter on the crafters list and she told me you could get kilns the size of a microwave oven. Folks in my class say they cost a lot to run though. I am just a beginner and at this point I am wondering if it is more therapy than art. 

            Best,
            Georgia

              Hey all,
              Not sure if any of you has really worked with this but I've wanted to get back in my clay work but my hardest problem is firing my works. would anyone have any suggestions about this, maybe if there's a tabletop kiln you know of or something?
