Les,
I am very happy to hear from you!
Somehow I did not notice you were there, and was worried about where have u disappeared to.
So I am glad I discovered you again.

To be honest, the photo I like BEST, is the last one, posted by Rick. Nothing less than wonderful. I love it!

take care

Havi

Congrats!
Good for you.

If you still can photo it, how about a photo from above?
I assume it looks lovely this way.
thanks,
Havi

I would not have said it if I did not think so...................

I love very much what you do, Sharol, this piece as well as others. In your pieces Technique becomes art. This is so good, compositionally I mean, you enslave the technique to your compositional ideas, how to restrain yourself. not to let the excitment of a technique, overpower the necessety of maki...

Carol,
For me , this is much more than 'cool', those are really good pieces.
'Brave' is great, IMHO.,
Like I said, astounding.


Havi

I think I should copy all the info from here and save it, in addition to bookmarking it.

Another lesson I learnt from here!!!


So many thanks,

Havi

Thanks, Bert By now, finally the guy came, Changed ALL the 3 relays that were there [why should I call him again in 3 months?] We discussed installing the safety thermocouple. He suggested at the beginnig something quite expensive. Then, I called a friend of mine who has understadning in electricty....

Thanks, Bert, I hope that tomorrow, finally the kiln technician will come, and I shall discuss with him all these possibilities. I think that he is the best trained in Israel, and most knowledgable. I want to do some pot melts and staff that needs 900 C degrees, and a bit more. So I do not know if I...

WOW!!!
This is wonderful



Havi

Thanks, Bert Even though what you say is Chinese to me. :lol: :wink: I have been getting alarm messages for a while now - however those messages came on the opposite direction - when the temprature was going down. Usually I aborted the programme, made quickly a new one [suitable for the exact situat...

Regarding the piece you fired, if it cooled slowly overnight it has probably annealed well enough for you to just proceed with the next planned firing. But make sure the kiln is working properly first! I agree with this, but I would be conservative with the heatup schedule. There is probably a bit ...

Thanks, Brad I am waiting for the piece to get REALLY cold now. Probabley tonight. I will not use the kiln untill a real professional dealt with it. Meanwhile, called an electrician and asked him if he knew something about relays - but in fact, when he came here - he could not help - said that does ...

On a second thought
This slab is being prepared for kilnforming over a thin fiber mold.
Why then refire it to anneal?
Can I simpley do the kilnforming - very carefully and then anneal properly?


Thanks, in advance Bert , or anybody else


Havi

Thanks, Bert

Going back to bed.

Many many thanks,
Havi

Hi everybody, Just to indicate how stressed I am, I would say that it is after midnight here, and I am completely lost with my kiln[?] OR controller [?] or both. Jen Ken 24" squarish, Orton controller. Set the kiln for a firing which was supposed to go as high as full fuse 815 centigrade, yours...

Same here The "other Jim" Excluding a bubble squeeze schedule I don't put in a hold on the way up. If I'm concerned with thermal shock because of thickness, nearness to the elements or complexity of the piece I simply slow down. Jim SAme here too.................... However, if I remember...

Brian,
Thanks for the advise.
I am ashamed and embarassed to admit I do not know what is tungsten carbide [sounds like strange medicine to me ]
sorry for appearing so stupid.
They say in our tradition that the shy person will not learn............

Havi

Thanks Gundi,
Unfortunately, I can not see any difference between BE 1101 and or BE 1824, and/or 1831 - even if you look at them from the side.
Others I can see .


thanx anyway
Havi

Thanks for your 2 responses, Yes mainly I am interested in Warm Glass, i.e. fusing/slumping. Hopefully I plan to learn lampworking - to support the slumping/fusing artistically, and casting (which I have already learnt a bit) - as a technic in itself. I am crazy about transparensies and the light co...

Can anyone please recommend Glass Art magazines to subcribe on?


thanks,
