Hi. Thanks for watching. I usually dry the pots upside down and have had no issues with cracking. There are a lot of factors that can cause cracking or problems when doing this. One solution is to dry slowly under plastic. Try a few different ways and see what works best. Happy potting.

Hi, That slip is called Bauer's Orange Flashing Slip. It has been around a while and a Google search should turn up the recipe. I did salt glaze for about 12 years. I am planning on returning to salt in the future.

Yes, Tatsuzo Shimaoka was certainly the master.

Glad it was helpful. :)

Hi Denise, You'll have to test each underglaze to see if it will work in soda. Some lose their color or just look terrible. I have good success with Amaco Jet Black underglaze at cone 10 in my soda kiln. I use flashing slips on all the exteriors. These respond to the soda and the atmosphere to create color. You can Google "soda glaze flashing slips" or "salt glaze flashing slips" to get some recipes. I apply these at the leather hard stage. Some are made to go on bisque as well. Good luck

@@ronphilbeck Your work is so beautiful. Thank you for taking the time to answer my question. I've used flashing slips in the wood fire but never have seen the wonderful details your work has. I appreciate you.

This is paraffin wax melted in an electric pan. You could also use a cold wax sold by a pottery supply.

Hi Al. You could check out some historical Silla pottery from Korea. Also if you do a Google search for "ruggles and rankin pottery bowl" you may find some images that are helpful. They were very influenced by Korean and Japanese pots from the past. Many Greek pots also have a substantial foot. And Italian as well. Hope that helps. Cheers.

@@ronphilbeck Thanks, Ron. The Greek and Italian searches were fascinating but none of the simplistic, elegantly curved bowl on a tall foot. In fact, it doesn't seem to appear anywhere much at all. Ruggles and Rankin had some nice designs such as www.rosenfieldcollection.com/b96/ but, again, not quite like these in your video. Although not curved bowl walls, your soda fired serving bowl with a tall foot (on Etsy) is the closest I've seen. A beautiful piece. Great work, mate. Inspired by you, I've turned a wood bowl using the golden ratio. With the foot height being the shorter segment and the bowl height being the longer, the whole piece harmonises very well. I've also used the same proportion for the foot and bowl width. Cheers, Al

Hey, gosh I had forgotten about this video. Ha. I don't think I ever used either of these. Wasn't the shape I wanted. I'd like to revisit this idea sometime. Definitely think the folks you mentioned above are the shapes to shoot for. Good luck.

Michael Kline Thanks. Haven’t done any like that lately.

The cup body is leather hard. The handle clay is fresh out of the bag.

Gene Arnold I throw these to 13 cm. About 5 inches. Thanks for watching.
