I use a small plaster bat to put cups upside down on after putting the handle on if the cup is a bit dryer than the handle. I let them sit a day or so and the moisture equalizes and you are able to smooth out any cracks.

Hello, thank you for sharing your studio set-up - it is a useful video because I have just got a quote to convert my single garage into a studio, which I am really excited about. Is it okay to keep a kiln in the same space or should I house in a separate building? What would be the best solution please? Also, I plan to use the garage studio year round (I live in the UK) and was wondering what the best form of heating will be?
@BlankEarthCeramics13 күн бұрын
That's great news! Congratulations :) You can have the kiln in the same space as long as you vent the fumes out and make sure it has the recommended clearance from surrounding furniture etc. I use an electric heater but it isn't the most efficient - I'm hoping my next studio will be much bigger then I'm planning to have a wood burner but that would depend if you have the space. I recently have put a de-humidifier in the studio to remove the excess moister in the air but as a by product it does also generate heat which is fab. I'm sure you have but make sure the garage is very well insulated so that will help a lot :) Thank you so much for watching! Su x

So you glaze the bottom of the tea light holder and wipe the rim, on the lighthouse ? Why? Love them 💕
@BlankEarthCeramics19 күн бұрын
Thank you!! I wipe the rim of the tealight dish that sits on top of the lighthouse base because I will fire it upside down with rim touching the kiln shelf (I want the bottom glazed so its easier to clean if you want to put a tealight underneath it in the lighthouse base). The lighthouse base and lighthouse top are fully glazed and I just wipe the bottoms as they will be fired in the kiln upright. Each piece is fired separately. I hope that helps - let me know if you have any other questions :)

I use Spectrum exclusively on my Raku and you sounded a little disappointed on a couple results. I really dig your results but I can tell you why Nebula and Starry Night didn't develop as fully as possible. Your reduction chamber was WWAAYY too big for your pieces. For small forms like the cabins you really don't want a reduction vessel any larger than a shoebox. I completely understand why you went with a group reduction, and I'm not trying to throw shade either, I'm just offering advice from multiple frustration fueled refires of my own 😁. The smaller the vessel the better and Spectrum LOVES hardwood chips and glossy magazine pages. I sound really negative but I do love your results, especially Algae Bloom!!! I never get those metallic flashes that you achieved. Plus I've always shied away from Topaz, I use 886 Lapis, but I should have gone with Topaz. Yours is nicer than mine. This comment is way too long. Beautiful work! Congratulations 👏🎉 P.S. my experience with most crackles has been that thin application makes thin cracks and small islands but thick application makes icebergs with rivers in between

Wow that's so helpful thank you so much for sharing your experience :) This has come at the best time because I'm just going to do my first raku of the year this month.

Really enjoyed watching your tour. I am about to set up a studio but a larger one for classes etc. I have the same wheel as you and ordered a diamond core tool grinding disc bat but mine didn’t fit the wheel for some reason and yours seems to look different. Did you have to make adjustments with your batt?
@BlankEarthCeramics23 күн бұрын
So glad you found it helpful and good luck for your new studio - how exciting! I had the same problem because of metric vs imperial measurements - they are very slight out. I bought a diamond core pad that is smaller and has sticky back plastic on the back so I could attach it to a wooden batt that fit my wheel. www.scarva.com/en/gb/DiamondCore-Tools-120-Grit-Diamond-Grinding-Disc/m-7783.aspx

Time stamp 20:20. Cosmos & Pie. What's the glaze combination. It's a lovely Green/Blue/Brown? Also what did you say you added to the slip to help texture? Thanks.
@BlankEarthCeramics27 күн бұрын
Hey I added a few drops of sodium silicate to the slip that allows you to add more dry clay so when you pipe it the clay says raised after it dries down, it all helps with cracking. Sorry I'm not 100% sure of the glaze you mean but if its the second incense cottage from the end with the barnacles, the roof is glazed in this one: glazy.org/recipes/56085 and the walls in this one: glazy.org/recipes/131996 Hope that helps!

Hey I didn't measure it - I added a few drops at a time and mixed well, when it loosened I added more dry clay scraps until it was very thick then added more drops to loosen it, I repeated this process about 4 times to make the final slip. I hope that makes sense! Thank you x

Hello, love your videos always a treat to see a new one of yours pop up ☺️ I was looking for videos about rhode and came across this one of yours, do you mind sharing what temp you fire to? I was hoping to get to cone 10 but it seams that rhode is not recommending that with the smaller ecotops Many thanks for your lovely pottery videos 🌹
@BlankEarthCeramicsАй бұрын
Hi Charlotte thank you that's so lovely to hear :) We used to fire to cone 6 in this kiln and now we fire to cone 7 in our new skate on. I haven't fired that high before I'm afraid - I feel the ecotypes may struggle but that's just guess. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful! Good luck with it and I hope you find one that works out :) xx
