Thank you I have been seeking how to get better at brushing on detail (sweeping lines). Silly but it is all about confidence and I appreciate hearing that. I will practice. Some potters haver beautiful lines. I can practice on paper first. I love your videos.

I have a question, If I get the glaze off with my finger (goes down to bare clay) how can I patch? Every time I brush or drip more glaze on it crawls. Is there a way to get the glaze to cover without washing it all off and starting over? Thanks I love your videos!

Excellent presentation, as always. I'm so glad you made these with Phil. What a treasure.

you know i always wanted to know how this worked. thanks for the enlightening video

I was two lectures into wood kiln functioning before i realized he was saying 'ware chamber' - as in where the clay water is fired - and not 'werechamber' - though the metamorphosis is as extreme

Thanks!

Thank you for this. It’s hard to find this info. Going to try a black underglaze with copper oxide on the rim, then fully dunked in clear glaze, and fired in cone 6 reduction. Hoping to get a black and metallic copper effect. Only now I’m worried about the clear not absorbing and the glaze piling. I suppose a black stained clay would be best for the desired effect

AH is the element that most affects my art

Great video. I kinda wish you hade some example of the mixes you described to illustrate the effect of the ash in formulations.

Great Video. I understand that Edit Heath of Heath Ceramics developed a Eutectic cone 07 glaze and clay body many years ago. It was suppose to be as hard as stoneware. Does anyone know what a cone 07 Eutectic glaze or Clay body recipe with the hardness of cone10 might look like?

Can I use a raku kiln for just regular firings?

I've learned so much about clay, we never went into this much detail in pottery class! Thank you! This will definitely help my skill as a potter.

This is really cool, I feel I've just found a treasure. Wonderful teacher, wonderfully informative video.

Just to provide a bit more information about the firebrick if anyone needs it. When he says "insulating firbrick" this is the "soft" firebrick used for forges sold online, that are very expensive. They start at 2300 degrees rated and go up to 2600 and higher. They don't absorb heat, but are NOT structural bricks. You can break them apart, even with your hands. The other "yellow bricks" (most used here) are the standard "hard" 9 x 4.5 x 2.5 inch firebricks sold anywhere that sells brick and sells concrete block. These are about $2.20 per brick... cheaper than the "high heat soft reflective brick," which are also the same exact dimensions.

Thanks! These stuffs are just so interesting!

Sustainable! Thanks!

Wow! Expert! I feel my life is so tiny, like a glimpse, after learning the history of the earth!

Thanks!

Thanks!! Really inspiring!!

Thanks! 😄

Thanks!

Thank you! So helpful. Question , how do you provide air to the ring pilot burner. You show a diagram of it but not show photo or explanation. Thank you so very much.

this is brilliant. thank you!!!

❤❤ Many thanks for this. So much information to get a jump start on the learning curve.

Thanks!! Ture expert!!

Brilliant!

Fantastic presentation, so informative. Thank you 😊

Brilliant, thank you for sharing your knowledge & explaining everything so clearly.

Hi.first of all tnx for the great work you're doing. Second is there any way that I can have the handouts(I presume I is a printed instructions or sth) for free? I live in Iran and because of the sanctions I can't pay for everything that I should pay.

Very informative, thank you so so so much.

many many thanks

Thank you so much Mr Berneburg and team. I learnt a lot!

Thank you so much Mr. Berneberg!

Amazing, tanks a lot!!!

49:00 There may be a substantial oversight, that description is for Sodium Bentonite, but there is also Calcium Bentonite which is has very different properties. some of those recipes that call for high amounts of bentonite are probably using Ca Bentonite. They have the same base chemical backbone structure but one has Sodium stuffed between the layers which allows very strong water absorption and the other is stuffed with Ca giving it a much more stable physical structure. Sodium bentonite is used for many industrial applications due to its gelling and expansive qualities.

such a great video!

El mejor...the best. a perfect mix of thecnical and practical explanation. Mil gracias.

Thank you, Phil, for everything. Very missed.

The ending is so adorable when he reread the board. I'm a huge fan of this series, Phil is an amazing teacher and is so knowledgeable. Thank you for your work!

Hey, thanks for the videos. Phil mentioned only needing a torch and a regulator, is a flashback arrestor not needed when using propane?

Yesterday i went through Daniel Rhodes ' book called 'Kilns Design, Construction and Operation'. It is written, " He (Herman Seger) started with what is now known as Cone 4, which he formulated by finding the lowest melting composition of clay, potash feldspar and lime. He called this "cone 4" because the molecular formuls contained 4.00 mols of Si02". But in 4:24 it is mentioned the first cone that was made is cone 5.... I am confused. It'd be great if someone could help.

I am ever so grateful to have found this channel and Sir Phil Bernburg (Rest in peace Legend) . Thank you Washington Street studios ❤😭

Great presentation! It was a great loss for the potters / ceramic art community.

I am really blessed to have such a ceramic lesson from faraway in Ethiopia 🇪🇹 from your studio. Thank you Phil your podcasts have helped me a lot. I work on high temperature jobs including kilns for pottery & pottery works. God bless🙏🏾

I have learned a lot from Washington Street videos and I appreciate them. The music in the background, however, makes it difficult to hear all the instruction. Please consider removing it.

Awesome information. Very well presented.

Do you only spray soda into your bag wall side ports or do you also spray into your kiln side ports/ spy holes directly on to wares?

After the clay is burnt and grind into powder what can the burn grind clay powder be use for

Very good teacher, thank you
