CRAWLING CERAMIC GLAZE: NEXT TUTORIAL

My BFA degree is in Printmaking. The printmaking studio at the Atlanta college of Art had a dinky little air compressor that everyone used constantly. It was not strong enough to use for any major projects; like spray painting or numatic tools. So, be fair warned not to get one that is too small. My first printmaking studio in my second house in a basement, next to the small rental apartment in March, 1970. This 5 horse power, 220 volt compressor was on sale at the Sears Catalog Closeout Center in downtown Atlanta. It has been with me ever since. Choosing the 220 volt model proved to be a great choice.
Countless friends have offered to borrow it over the years. Unfortunitly, they were unable to plug it in [ American standard is 120 volts ]. So, they had to decline their offer to borrow it. Too bad... [ Yeah right ! ]
P.S. A compressor was used to blow off the cleaning dust on all the FLOWERS
