Do you sieve your glazes after mixing!?

This is Matt from Black Dog Pottery. I did the soda kiln building/firing back in April with you guys and Kevin I was a production potter for years at Custom Cermics before it became Gray Fox Pottery Different strokes for difference folks 😊 Great work guys, and a wonderful positive story of growth and change. Love your work, dedication and passion Cheers

I guess the question I have is do you feel that having a youtube channel about pottery really helped launch the popularity of your pottery and therefore sold more?

I'm have a pottery business as well and I really enjoy the variety and how much creativity can go into pottery. So far im not making any money because im still building my studio and getting supplies. While trying to decide what clays I want to use. Im selling stuff here and there but not enough to cover my costs yet. I also want to mention that Im an artist and use to paint and it was so hard to sell paintings. Got my jeart broke over and over and then ended up giving away the paintings. Anyway the thing I love about having a pottery business is that it sells and mugs sell and people want it.

Maybe it will be perfect for me to start my hobby :)

Great information from an accountant/potter, but I had some trouble with the speeded up area. Other than that, great info!!

I appreciate you’re trying to help us with information to start a business. And I haven’t watched whole video yet. I’m just saying this now cause I’m gonna keep watching. Is someone who is starting a very small one like you did with your pottery when it may be first started or someone doesn’t have money to invest is making a small start if you have more informationon that. Like I’m thinking building of stock to have something to offer but then where do I take it? Where are the best places to do that depending on what circumstances I have. I hope that makes sense. Thanks again for your video!

Can you show how you place the cones and how you monitor them during the process. When they look a certain way you turn off the kiln?

Hi there! I love your videos. The link to the purchased version of the glaze class isn't working. Is it still available?

I love that you two are doing this! I got a lot out of it and it has me thinking that hiring some help with content creation doesn’t hafta be so extensive or expensive that I couldn’t afford it. I’m going to start searching for the right person that understands my vision and is willing to tutor me a bit as well. Thanks for getting my brains fired up a bit! 👍

Could you discuss how much inventory you need before applying for your first show or putting pots up for sale online? Thank you.😊

While it was nice to hear your story and listen to you guys chat it would have been cool to get a bit more than 'just do it' and 'start small'. Maybe list some of the pitfalls or things people might not consider when starting a pottery business. Things to watch out for. I'm guessing Ty's 15K this year is gross income not accounting for time/materials/travel, etc. ?

Love the podcast! You and Kai make it easy to watch/listen. Question Request: Can you share your experiences on going to school for ceramics versus learning independently? TY both for the content!

💜💜💜💜

These podcasts are so fun! Im so excited to learn feim ya'll. Your heart for people and wanting them to succeed is amazing. Thank you!

So when I dip things I get a" bubble blob" when the air escapes from the mug or pot. How do I keep this from happening?

Love Ty's mug!

I'm enjoying the podcast. Look forward to the next one. Great information and enjoy hearing how you got started

Can't wait, topic of interest!!! And yeah for the coffee, another favorite.

i plan on starting a pottery business in the coming months, excited to listen

Interesting podcast. But you forgot to show your mugs you’re drinking out of :)

What if you shaped a podcast around an interview with an emerging potter? The person could ask you both all sorts of questions about pottery and running a business.👍

What clay do you use?

Great informational vid. Thanks

Thank you for showing this technique ❤

I haven’t watched for awhile! Good for ya’ll doing so great! Glad you have help now. Can’t believe ya’ll now have 4 boys!❤ Every time I see your cups I want a cup of coffee! Good to see ya again!!

I love learning about this! I work at a production studio and would love to learn a little more about the business side of owning a pottery shop!

Those pourovers are gorgeous 😍

East Fork Pottery in Asheville, NC. Sadly, their facility was decimated in the recent floods.

I love this so much! I have been following you ever since I started pottery and you have been a HUGE inspiration. I would LOVE to hear about your business ideas and specifics. I learned a lot from the end of your conversation here

I would love to see a collab on the podcast with @movementcoffeeroasters! And then also, maybe with some other potters!

Could you talk about your differences in styles of pottery, or similarities? I'm new to pottery and love talking to others at the studio I go to, there are so many different expressions in clay and glaze work, I just find it fascinating to learn so many different viewpoints from all the other potters.

Looking forward to your podcast!

Do you make espresso mugs ? If so could you show some ?

Hey Jon! I actually own a coffee shop and pottery studio called Potters' Peak in Arizona. If you're ever looking for people to come on your guyses podcast, I would love to be talk. We would probably have a lot of things to compare.

Can't wait to listen while I am at the pottery wheel!

Great idea of running coffee and clay together. Also working as a Barista for 10+ years and doing pottery for almost 4 years. Good luck and a bit more lighting would be great 😉🫶🏼

I'd love to know what software you chose to record your podcast on, with the dual screens, issues you encountered and ease of use. Are you planning to release on Spotify etc. Im currently researching this and hearing your experiences and recommendations would be very insightful. Love the concept that your podcast will be so varied and cover such a wide diverae mix but still remain cohesive. Great idea! 🎉

Great concept and interesting to watch. Looking forwards to seeing where this goes and topics it covers. Great to see you back on YT, and nice to get to know Kai too. Congrats from the UK, Jeanette Far Forest Ceramics

It's so interesting to hear your journey. Where can I buy a mug? I wish you the best! I love watching you make your crafts! You have a gift!😊

I think you're thinking of East Fork Pottery

As a new potter I would be interested in your kiln log...What data do you collect and what do you do with that data? How often do you do kiln maintenance and what does that consist of?

Yay! Looking forward to your next podcast. Just curious...Do you ever make mugs with critters inside for animal lovers?

Yea!

I found this interesting. My friend runs Texas Pottery and Clay Supply in the north edge of Fort Worth. They mix clay and sell all things clay related. They teach classes, have a couple of days a week of open studio, do school inservices, and pretty much anything else to bring in the bread. It is a very, very hard to way to make a living - but they are happy. They are an age now when the idea of retirement is looking good and people come in interested in buying. The right mix will come up one fine day. What I am saying is that people with a passion for clay found a way to make a living with it.

So glad you’re back!! Very interesting idea!

A 'potcast' surely?

💕😘

This is great cant wait to learn more

Yaaaay!
