Brilliant. It was meant to be.

Just wonderful. A dream come true.

Combien faut il mettre de citron vert et de chaux dans la chaudiere dindigo 9:23 pour obtenir le bon ph svp 😊

Well done! Keep up the great work and thank you for sharing.

Absolutely fantastic !!!

Nice work!

Just wanted to say thanks for your videos, you've inspired me to go for it and get the things together to build one. Something about the idea of wood firing brings out a child like excitement in me! Can't wait. Thanks again

Have read that people use the tea colored pour off liquid for indirubin dye that maybe reddish to purplish

Awesome video.

What a great video. Love your explanation.

Amazing video! Loved all the details on the building process 😊

Fabulous!

Nice job.

It's been fun watching you build your kilm I'm getting ready to build mine this summer and and still working out the design. I can't wait

I love this so much❤ I miss my people. We moved from our home of 20 hrs to a totally new area, same state, but 2 yrs and I still can't find a tribe. Your energy and intention while making your beautiful creations is such a blessing❤ thank you so much for sharing ALL of your process❤I pray for blessings on you and your family❤

Excelente video aprendí mucho y lindas piezas de joyería. Cómo se llama la arcilla que no se recoge o reduce ? La que usas para mantener el bisel en su tamaño. Gracias ✨🌞

They're beautiful ceramics

Cool

Since you can no longer buy PMC what type of clay do you use now? Also, do you sell your pieces? If so, what is your shop? Lovely work!! I have a stone that a friend gave me awhile back. She wanted me to cut it up into pieces and make a bracelet. Have you made bracelets before with crystals? Look forward to your reply. Thank you!!

silver clay??

Including the shelter would be helpful though I can cost that up fairly easily if not! Thanks again, exciting!

Thank you for your videos they are inspiring and helping me get started! Appreciate it’s difficult to do as we will all manage to salvage some materials as you did, and need to purchase others. But would you be able to offer an approximate total cost for your materials?

Regular shale and clay brick can take the temperatures, but regular brick does not like fast speed up and fast cool down. Firebrick can take that up and down, no problem. If you have a good amount of "red brick" heat up slowly.... and....... bring down slowly..... This is where those dampers probably help keep the heat IN, but I'm not sure where they are. The Russians, in their brick stoves, have a damper very high up in the chimney (they may even use a pole,) to keep the heat IN (after the fire goes out) and to keep the cold air from flowing down the chimney into the firebox. This way, the bricks radiate out heat for 12 hours after the fire has gone out.

Great series....thank you. The narrowing of the chimney for the last few feet actually creates speed... and draw.... as long as it's not too narrow, and it's not.

Thank you for sharing your journey with processing and using your wild clay. I live in another part of North Carolina, where there is sand everywhere and no rocks at all. I have a small vein of clay, which contains between 25 and 40% sand and silt. Straight out of the ground it is almost impossible to throw on the wheel and readily falls apart in your hands. But I have altered my processing methods (without any additives) to separate the sand and the silt from the clay. For me removing the sand is easy. It is the silt that is the most difficult, because the silt particles are so small that stay suspend with the clay and they also easily flow through an 80 mesh sieve. I now know how to remove the silt and produce a clay that I can throw on the wheel and even pull some handles. It is not perfect, but it is usable now. The key is to mix the raw clay with enough water to form a very thin slurry (even thinner than cream) to allow the sand and silt to settle out. I think the term for this is levigation. I wish you the best.

A little tip from my experience with self dug clay... let your clay completely dry, then add gently to a bucket of water and do not disturb for about a day. You should get zero sticky clumps and a nice smooth clay slurry that will be easy to stir up with your mixer and put through the screen. I'm really enjoying your videos! Cheers!

Great video, thank you!

How cool for sharing this ❤

Goodness!

I love the mix of textures, beautiful work! Thank you for sharing! If you didn't have a kiln, how long would you fire your cap for? I don't have a kiln yet, hopefully someday..but just starting out.

Its lovely jow you shared the many steps of indigo dye and the dress making process! Thank you.

This reminds me a lot of my late grandmother, she loved pottery and sculpting, it's so nice to see others doing it as well!

thats so skibidi sigma in ohio gyat

Nice pile of wood.👀

That looks so calming and peaceful ✌️ Thanks for sharing 👍

Sweet. From my own kiln building experience I've tried to use as much stainless steel as possible, and would highly recommend using stainless strap clamps, (a.k.a. hose clamp or worm screw clamp) in place of the galvanized wire. It comes in various lengths, but runs roughly just under a buck per foot or less on Amazon, and surprisingly goes a long ways. I got a 32' coil with 12 clamps for ~$25. It is impervious to corrosion and melts at a ridiculously high temp, somewhere above 2,500F and it's very strong. Stainless steel wire is also available.

Very inspiring, perfect construction

🙏🏽 beautiful thank you May l ask why all jewellers in America call solder 'soder'? I mean no disrespect just noticing it lots . ✌🏽✨🌼

Lovely project. Try your white slip under the glaze rather than on it.

I love this video, so much poetry in the narration. I wanted to ask you: How long can you keep the indigo paste, and how do you do it? Do you keep it in the refrigerator? I´ve only made dried pigment and would like to try the paste because it´s a lot less work. André, Norway

Thank you for the link to backyard kilns! You're definitely living a version of a future i want, now if only i could get out of an apartment so i could actually get to work on building it instead of dreaming. Hope this works out well for you!!

Good job!

I was with you the moment you said "pretty much everything on this Kiln got put up and taken down and put up and taken down multiple times". Planning is good, but even the best plan on paper (or computer) can fall flat without allowing for trial and error as it steps off the page and into the real world. Love this build, and looking forward to your next video.

thank you so much to share the details，could you tell me the content of PDF is totally same to the book version？

Very cool. I'm wanting to build a kiln for heat treating and preparing useful chemicals. Look forward to your future videos to see how your kiln is working out😊

Thats so awsome :) I can really understand how gathering all the materials establishes a deeper connection to the craft :)

Can’t wait to see the next step

I just watched your first video. Looking forward to seeing what else you have in the future. Good luck to you.

wow so thankful I found you...just watched your indigo vat rebalance!! I live in the pacific north west vancouver island and grow woad. I am fascinated by your take on intuiting the needs of the dye vat...will keep watching :)

Congratulations Kathy 😊😊 Lovely!
