Comment on What philosopher strove to live without any possessions but a cup, and later discarded his cup too? Stoic? by cybrwurm

I tend to agree with Don M. But there were several prominent men with the name ‘Diogenes’ in the ancient world; including three philosophers and one historian (ie. Diogenes Laertius). The earliest philosopher was Diogenes Apolloniates who believed that air was the primal force, and origin of all things, and was thus endowed with consciousness. Of the other two, one was a cynic and the other a stoic, so that might support our guess that diogenes is the guy you’re looking for. My money is on the cynic, Diogenes of Sinope, who died in 323bce, and who also happens to be one of my favorite all-time philosophers. This is because he was one of the most outrageous philosophers ever. He was a begger who made a virtue out of poverty, and was a relentless critic of social values and institutions. The ancient greeks called him ‘diogenes the dog’ because the philosopher often praised the virtues of the dog, and taught that people would do well to study the ways and virtues of our canine companions. Diogenes was one of the weirdest, but also one of the sanest, philosophers of all time.

Stoic and Cynic are philosophies, not philosophers. Not sure if this is who you are thinking about, but perhaps it was Diogenes?

Unless it specifically says it’s an underglaze, you have to fire the piece first, then apply the glaze and fire the piece again.

Normally, the pot is “bisque” fired first, then glazed, then it goes through a “glaze firing”. . . so, in answer to your question, you glaze the pot after it is fired, and then it is fired again.

while you can glaze pots before they are fired it is much easier to do after they are fired for the first time, less breakage and you can wash a glaze off if you change your mind.
This firing is usually done at a lower temperature than your glaze (second) firing and called bisque firing.
Have fun.

you need to fire clay pot once to solidify, then add glaze and re-fire to coat with glaze,http://artsedge. kennedy-center. org/content/2393/read other answers,,,
