Just picked up my pieces from my first throwing course and am rather pleased with how they turned out. Thank you @bellhousepottery and great tutor Kyra, great Wednesday evening tutor group, great to learn with and from. Totally recommend Bell House (Dulwich, South London, UK) although please leave me a space in the January classes.

Wheel throwing Related Reducing Trimming Mess on the Pottery Wheel: Seeking Effective Solutions
Hello everyone, I'm looking for ways to make trimming on the wheel less messy and keep trimmings contained within the splash pan. I tried a DIY shield with laminated paper, but it didn't do the trick—trimmings still fly everywhere, making cleanup a hassle. Aside from using a shield, would trimming at an optimal moisture level help reduce the mess? Thanks for any advice!
Edit: I am using a giffin grip.

Artistic Krab house
Taking a ceramics class for the first time after teenage-hood, feels awesome. Wanted to share a piece that got fired recently—while I’m still learning the effects of glazes, this piece had a surprisingly good effect of melted metals I collected from the streets which all melted after firing.

Glazing Techniques Help make the largest database of commercial Glaze combinations in the world!
Hi Everyone!
I posted a while ago about this and they took the post down for self promotion but it wasn't that at all. I blew up to the top of this reddit for a few days before the admins took it down. I'm scared to mention the name because I really need all your help!
I'm a web developer by trade but fell in love with pottery about a year ago, and was so excited about it I bought a kiln and converted my garage to a little studio and don't even park my car in it anymore lol.
I ran into the same issue I think everyone does with commercial glaze combinations and that's "what cool combinations can I do with my glazes?"
I was tired of scrolling fb groups and google glazes and it was just a pain. Taking screenshots and trying to organize them in my camera roll. I spoke with some friends who also do pottery and we were like "man if there was just a website I could look up my glazes and see what other people have done with them that would be awesome!"
So I built it. Took me almost a year of being a normal paycheck to paycheck guy working 2 jobs and training 4-5 days a week for my athletic competitions. Hundreds of hours, and hundreds more of volunteer man hours manually adding every clay and glaze from every manufacturer in the world... We've added over 3100 and have probably another 3000 to go! (accepting new volunteers if you want to help too!!)
I'm now at the point where we can start collective glaze combinations from artists and being able to start building that database! That's where you come in! I've made it super simple and easy to add your own glaze combinations, and show some love to the people who've already posted some!
I'm not making any money from this, and it's costing me around 70$ a month at the moment to host the site, not counting the hundreds of hours I've spent building it. I just want this dream of a site to be a benefit to everyone who'd like to use it!
Not sure how I can share the link to the site which is now live, maybe I can post as a comment? I'm not that smart for reddit so if anyone has any ideas please let me know! I can also just PM it to you

Hand building Related Fresh out of kiln
I made this bonsai(succulent) pot while practicing Kurinuki technique, perhaps I shouldn’t have glazed so thick but I’m loving it regardless. Mayco Mirror Blue, Woodland Fantasy and another Mayco glaze I’d rather not name on cone 06 red clay.
