clip Joined a china painting guild to learn more. THey use different paints but assume techniques will be similar. Susan W The book 'Painting China and Porcelain' by Sheila Southwell is a really good reference. Has several pages on mediums alone. Much more reference info and pure technique than the...

Enameled piece
I just today got to see a piece in the daylight that I've had on the table since december. Yay!

I'm not sure. I've never sprayed kilnwash with my aztek. I was always afraid of the powder caking up the nozzle (since the aztek is an intenal mix airbrush). So I use an external mix Badger airbrush for kilnwash. Tony I've clogged an Aztek nozzle and taken it apart to clean it and got away with it....

Re: enamels
Just got through painting some small square float pieces with enamels(have never used them before) Mixed them with a a drop of medium and water to consistency. It looks grainy to me. Is this the way it's supposed to look? I wouldn't think It would give good coverage. I bought these in sample pkgs. ...

Re: Distance from top elements to glass?
Sounds counter intuitive, especially given that Unifrax makes 10" thick Durablanket modules. Why would they do that if there was a problem with more than 6" of insulation? I agree. I asked for an explanation, got back an analogy or two, but never attained an understanding. The theory was ...

Re: Distance from top elements to glass?
Allow 4 to 6". You can be as close as 2", but it's not really recommended. I'd fill up the empty space on the bottom with fiber blanket, not brick. Brick costs more money to heat up and fiber's a better insulator. A thread a few weeks ago on craft web gave me the impression that there's a...

Re: gas kilns again
Has anyone used a Hoaf kiln? The Hoafs that I've seen used (Dick Millard's, Paul San Casciani's) were more suited for glass painting and other surface decoration than fusing. I'm not certain if they are even intended to go as hot as fusing temps. But they can cook glass paint and cool to handling t...

Two things that I appreciate in a teacher/course: Teaching to all levels as much as possible. Not dumbing-down content nor forgeting the less skilled. Keeping the action going. Not having people stand in line or having a whole class watch while one person executes a skill. A little of that is probab...

Tony left out some stuff (I can't review what he said because I deleted his quote...still learning to use this board. The items below are from my faulty memory. Some of the items you'd probably want right when you're starting-out). Tony, is there a recomended starter's kit on the sandcarving web sit...
