Default Does anyone here do pottery?

I mean on a pottery wheel? I used to a while ago, back when i was in highschool. I still remember centering, pulling and removing from the wheel, I don't need brush ups on those, but I have completely forgotten the names of brands... so therefore I can't acquire catalogs for supplies (i can't find one even for the specific tools- like Kemper tools) I want a catalog in my hands, Online cattys aren't so easy to leaf through. I haven't any tools anymore. And i might be getting a pottery wheel soon, so I need to think about getting tools again. (might even get a kiln!)

I used to teach the basics of ceramics (using slip and molds) so I know the basics of using the kiln as well.

I miss using the wheel and can't wait to start again.

I have googled as much as my brain can come up with for terms, and come up empty handed.

Can anyone help?

I can't help you but wanted to say how cool it will be to get a pottery wheel. I can't wait to see your designs.

I don't (and have never done) pottery either Missy, but it sounds like fun! Hope you get your wheel and kiln!

That's who I was going to suggest-- that's where I got my basic pottery supplies back in my days as a college art major.

This is our local supplier. I have had years of pottery classes, including some college but I don't have access to a wheel or kiln right now. I do have a big box of clay and all my tools, though.
