When using scrap copper avoid getting solder into your batch, some solders contain lead.

I would point out that in small amounts iron oxide and copper oxide won't do you much damage. The human body already uses iron and a little copper so the body has some defences against these substances. Clay dust in the air is really bad for your lungs as the body has no way to disassemble an alumino-sillicate particle so silicosis is a permanent condition.

Smile woman thanks

Thank you for sharing❤

You didn't specify the proportions of a single recipe for glaze... is that book so barren that a single recipe being leaked diminishes so much it's value that you decided against publishing the proportions on you ad-ridden youtube video? You really are trying to make me watch adds to see your shitty infomercial. PD: You made a point of it being "eco-friendly"... on a forever item, a clay pot... I do not care if my pots are "eco-friendly" when they are supposed to last decades. They are not paper towels, they are chemically and mechanically stable items that won't leak any toxic materials. FFS nuclear waste is melted with ceramics to make it more chemically stable. I do not remember the name of the book, and I'm glad I don't.

Do you have a video or more info on how much you blend up the paper etc…? And a video on using a makeup brush to remove excess slip to prevent drips?

you are the only one that can entertain me on this app

Why so much talking and not action? Is not what the title of the video suggests…

Do you have any videos on how you brush out the slip? My porcelain ones still get thicker on one side from the dripping. I almost need some table that turns and undulates so it drips out evenly.

You are talking about how this is more environmental friendly because you use recykled metal, but then you say you get the coppar from the charity shop and pay more than they would get from recykling. So the gain for the environment isn’t there unless you save the metal from the dump or from being left in nature.

Can I use my grandpa Ash

This has given me soo many great ideas!! I have a few things that my dad gave me when I first bought my home 23 years ago and they are rusty!! I can believe I can take that rust off and use it on something in remembrance from my dad.

A lot of words but no instruction. Maybe less conversation please

As a beginner, new to your channel, I experienced working with clay some time ago. I had some wonderful success with shino glaze, on thrown porcelain, the glaze of which was not of my own creation, fired in a gas kiln. I found it's variation and lack of predictablility, in reduction, joyously fascinating. I'm thinking it was incorporating elements from other glazes released into the kiln atmosphere at temperature, even vaguely in instances, reminding me of raku effects. Does shino, in your expert experience, qualify as eco conscious as well as suitable for firing in an electric kin at stoneware temperatures? Or am I on the wrong track?

Andy Wards Ancient Pottery is a better resource for learning pottery than this. He'll show you multiple ways to seal and paint your earthenware.

I think the reason the glass is "crazed" or broken, is because its thermal exlansion coëfficient is higher. The melting point of silica is lowered with sodium/Na or potassium/K, that is the most common glass we know. But heat resistant glass that is not tempered (labratory glass) is made with a borium/B addition. Borium glass has way lower expansion when heated. Which is why is fire proof/resistant to uneven heating. Try Borium glass for less crazed an chippy glaze.

Great name. Super clear in practical manner. But i don't think that there is such a thing as a "clay molecule" that is the clay. Because its a mixture of chemically different particles. The way i believe it to be is that the alumina remains firm and keeps the pottery shape while the silica melts and "glues" the alumina latice together. The feldspar aluminasilicate is the flux. This improves adhesion between alumina and the melting silica. Are my believes correct? Yours.

This has been very helpful. Thank you for taking the time in making this video ☺️

Thank you for sharing your beautiful insight. Pottery making, in my own experience, is a wonderfully fulfilling discipline.

I wanted to see you apply it. That's the other half of glazing.

I was hoping to actually see the application as well, but thanks anyway.

This is so useful! I'm a very new potter and have some white stoneware clay which I've made some mugs/bowls out of, yet to be bisque fired... As part of a bundle with my wheel and electric kiln I was given a selection of Mayco Stroke & Coat glazes which state they should be fired at cone 06. I gather this is much lower than a stoneware glaze firing should be - can I use these glazes on my stoneware clay and what temperature/kiln schedule should I use if so? I'm keen for it all to definitely be food safe and the colours to come out nice and strong! If I can't use them I'll set the glazes aside for the future when I want to experiment with a lower-fire clay, and use an appropriate stoneware glaze instead, but would love to use the colours if possible.

can copper sulphate also be used for colouring pottery?

😮an entire video of a lady talking ???

WTF was that?

Simple and indeed a logical step toward a better environment. Thank you for reminding me of the things we learned at school.

thank you so much for making this video, it was really helpful! i only knew about the sponges and the brushes. do you have any tips for what to use instead of shellac? :)

❤

Beautiful to watch

Beautiful to watch that’s a lovely little wheel can I ask what make it is please Also I’ve seen manual wheels I’m wanting to do try and do things over my allotment any advice on how to start would be great I’ve got two autistic children who love creating Both home educated I would rather learn them with the right ethics than go down other routes

Yes I’ve watched them videos of digging up clay With me having limited mobility I do want to create things differently Like a manual pottery wheel or hand building

I’ve not started my pottery journey but I feel doing more eco friendly pottery and all aspects Only thing is I want to fire not in a kilm as I don’t have the funds So more fire pit firing really Is this possible

Really interesting so pleased I’ve found you before I start on learning about pottery

Very interesting. Thanks for the information.

Show the process please

Thank you for sharing this information! I've not found it anywhere else on the 'net, and have been searching for it for quite a while.

love this!! have been wondering the same thing!

Interesting idea. You mentioned that you can create many colours but the ones you present were pale. What plants make more vibrant glazes?

Make your wom glaze from woodash.. then add the other 2 ingredients you DONT have access to.

Wood ash is eco friendly. It recycles in a garden, lawn or compost heap just fine.

I wish you had a better microphone.

☺️ *promo sm*

Thank you so much. Very informative.

Would have been better with a visual of making colors

It would be helpful to show a photo of all those items! Tks

شكرآ

THANK YOU!!! i was just wondering yesterday how I could use vinegar with my pottery and what was up with people using it and you've answered all my questions with this video (:

Enjoyed you and your video. For me visuals are important and helpful and including them might capture more interest. Thank you.
