Great suggestions every one!
I've lost so many nice pieces to improper glaze applications, I'm glad
to see so many given. One of the respondents mentioned using a large
K-Mart bowl. I can attest to the value of using a large shallow bowl to
dip larger pieces. At the Odyssey Studio here in Asheville, NC, where I
took some classes a couple of years ago, they had these HUGE shallow
forms, like humongerous mixing bowls made of heavy plastic. They were
ideal because with a lot less glaze one could dip 1/2 of huge pieces,
wait til it dries, and do the other half. Highwater Clays (parent of
Odyssey, as it were) doesn't sell them as they indicated they were from
New Zealand and too expensive to carry. Does anyone out there know of
any other sources of giant bowl forms? I have checked like the Rubber
Maid aisle in WalMart, but none are quite big enough. (These were like
24" or more in diameter.) Have a wonderful Thanksgiving everyone! Jay

i use a kid's plastic saucer sled for dipping platters. it's about 36"
dia., of course, this is only about 3" deep, so it has its
limitations.
i have seen someone use a trash bag taped across a box, too, with the
appropriate sized dip in the plastic.

Hi Jay:
Here at at Bicentenial Art Center we have recycled a huge wood lattice salad
bowl. Works great! Other suggestions are the galvinized buckets that are
used on farms and ranches. They come in all sizes! Home Depot seems to
have a fair supply of the smaller ones (up to 24"). Rinse them out and
hang 'em on the wall for storage.

If you are lucky enough to live in a town with one, go to a Korean
grocery store for very wide but shallow plastic tubs. I think they use
them for processing cabbage for kim chee. For smaller diameter shallow
metal pans for glazing plates try an oil collecting pan from an
automotive parts/supply store.

Jay,
Try Party City. They have HUGH plastic punch bowls. I use mine as a
hump mold, also.

You might try a place like home depot. We purchased a 2' X 3' x 10" high
(approximate size) black plastic container that was intended to be used for
mixing soil for potting plants. Works great for glazing larger flatter
pieces. You could also line a large flatish cardboard box or laundry basket
with a bigger trash can liner. Be sure to dip some of the glaze back into
the bucket before trying to lift the bag when you are through. Works for
us.

You could try going to a building supplies and getting a plastic roof
dome. They come in various sizes and depths
Good luck

Jay- I bought my large shallow bowl at Smart and Final(this is a store for
kitchen supplies and large quanties of food)- it was not plastic it is
metal but it has sure made glazing forms larger than the five gallon bucket
easier.

Jay,
I have used a large plastic cement mixing pan for
glazing flat pieces. Oblong, 18"X24"/6"deep.
You can also place two boards across it, rest a
large bowl upside-down on them and pour glaze over
it.
Very cheap, available at hardware stores.

I use one of those plastic pans that waiters use to bus tables into a
lot for glazing. If that's not big enough, go to a photo supply store
and look at developing trays. We have one big enough for our springer
spaniel to use as a bed.

Hi Jay,
Check out the water-heater aisle in your local Lowes or Home Depot; they
sell shallow, very wide basins made of metal or plastic to stand a
water-heater in ( to catch drips/overflow? ). They're about 2' wide and
only about 5 or 6" high; and not very expensive. They would be great for
large platters. Haven't used one as I'm learning spraying. ***** Many
thanks to all the kind Clayarters who responded to my plea for spraying
info. It REALLY HELPED! *****

I have a nice big heavy duty rubber bucket that's about 6 to 8" deep and
around two feet in diameter. I bought it at our local Grange Co-op. They are
meant to be used as animal feed buckets, but they're great for glazing large
plates and platters.
Regards,
June(cooking and packing.Happy Thanksgiving everyone!)

Could you please tell me how I could get a round disc snow sled? I live in
Texas and there is hardly a need for one. I saw one this summer in NY and a
student was using it as a mold.
thanks

Walmart & Target usually have these 24" wide DEEP "buckets", or barrel-like
things in the summer. I have one that measures 19W x 15D. It was about 7
bucks - holds a small keg plus ice :-)))! In the past I bought some
Rubbermaid tubs that are 17W x 11D. Both of these have heavy plastic rope
handles and could be cut down shorter with appropriate shears.

Very handy: bus trays--available at restaurant suppliers. Home Depot sells
large plastic containers for mixing cement--same shape but bigger.
