What do you need to make pottery?
You can either form the clay using the slab, coil, or pinch methods. These three methods are not done with the use of the pottery wheel, and in most cases a person's education about pottery making starts with these hand building processes. Pots can also be formed on the pottery wheel. The clay is positioned and stuck onto the wheel head. The clay is then moistened, turned, and formed with the guidance of the craftsman's hands.

Why is it important to let clay dry before firing it?
Wet or even damp clay will explode or crack in the kiln as the water tries to escape from the hot pot. It is important to slowly dry the piece to make it safe to fire.
this is for dry glaze
Choose a container that is two times larger than the total amount of finished glaze. Select a 1- to 5-gallon container. If you're making 1/2 gallon of glaze, use a 1-gallon container. This allows enough room to coat the pottery.

Adhere masking tape 1/4 to 1/2 inches from the bottom of the pottery. Placing the tape around the base of the piece helps later on during the firing process.

Measure dry ingredients one at a time. Pour them into the mixing container. To produce the best results, weigh all chemicals accurately.
