I bet you didn't know about all the everyday products you use, that can be used to make ceramic and pottery glazes, did you?

Well, happy hunting and experimenting.
Remember, If at first you don't succeed, try, try, try again!!!
I guess I'm lazy, but I prefer to buy my glazes, because there are so many beautiful glazes out there and you can just pick the bottle of the exact color that you want. Making your own glaze is really time consuming, but if you have some spare time it is fun making your own just to see what color you can come up with.

The best preparation for tomorrow is the proper use of today.

Have you ever come up with a good idea while working with your pottery or ceramics and thought that you would like to share it with others? You have? Well, why not send it to us and we will add it to the tips page for all to see.

There are signs that pottery and ceramics are losing appeal for a younger generation. There are pottery and ceramic departments closing in teaching institutions throughout the country. The common understanding is that younger students are reluctant to commit themselves to the intensive study required to master pottery and ceramics. Why spend three years to learn just one art form when you can pick up PhotoShop in less than a week? Pottery wheels lie idle as students flock to the computer labs. With all the stressful actions in the world today, releasing that stress through pottery and ceramics would be very beneficial to ones well being.
