Hey Jim, I've just found your videos and love your work. Today, through no skill, I landed on the perfect method for adding colour to clay. Add some water to the little zip lock bag of mason stain. Get a cup of coffee and chat for about 30 mins. When you come back, the stain will be like Toothpaste, which is perfect for adding to the clay. My previous attempts looked like a murder scene, or were too dry. Just wanted to share 😀

So awesome, thanks!!

Try "chore boy" instead of sponges

Spin the nut, not the bolt.

What music do you have in the background? It sounds like a yoga music I use. Just curious!

Staf to make the mold please

Tips on how to remove the plaster if it’s stuck in the mold? Didn’t think it through and now I can’t remove it🥲

What clay is this?

They turned out to be really pretty. I enjoyed the color variations in each one.

Hi. There haven't been any long form viideos on this channel in 3 years. And this short is a couple of years old. Do you still do pottery? I enjoyed watching the short. I hope that you didn't lose interest. You have some really good content.

Thanks for the video Jim. Can one add these to color slips for casting? And are there any guidelines involved with safe quantities etc?

Oh !¡ Very good and great help, as I am learning. I love it. ¡!!!

salt dough: 3/4 cup water 3/4 cup salt 2 cups flour

Thank you!

how long will thew salt dough last, once it dries, before it molds??

Absolutely gorgeous pieces! And Jon didn’t send me. Lol it glad you came up on my feed. I’ve been doing pottery a long time and I’ve never seen the bottom do that!!

Very Cool! Thank you for sharing this tip.

Does this dry?

How are the knives shaped? Do you have a mold?

Your choice of music is just nonsense

Thank you for sharing this four years ago... bing could not bring you up fyi... and they said it was them not me... :) lmao :)

great video!

Jim--- I use mason stains (MS) for flowers and leaves. I fight with all the greens. Often my beautiful mint green becomes ugly brown once clear glaze is used. I've tried Amaco clear, zinc free and finally matte clear to maintain the green color. No luck. I mix my MS with b-mix to the desired color value and fire at cone 5. I've checked all of kilns and they're fine. Any guesses or suggestions?

That was really cool. I’ve been kind of afraid to start doing any plates because I’m 64. I guess that’s dumb letting your age hinder what you do but I might try this dough pin method. Thank you so much.

Can i use self rising flour if in air drying

Great video! How would you clean it? Or can you just use it right after firing?

Thanks, Jim!

Thank you for your videos! They are very informative and you’re absolutely right - this information isn’t anywhere else on the web. One of my favorite things about clay is the ability to surrender perfection and go with the flow.

Благодаря! Благодаря! Благодаря! 🥰 🙏 Любов от България 💖

I guess I use the term wrong. when I say best friend it means I share funny memes, know all his interests, engage in conversations about his favorite books, shows, games. Laugh at KZbin videos together. Joke around together and enjoy each other's company. I am there for him when he needs as a mom, but I have fun with the person he is. I never had a best friend growing up so that's what I see my son as. Just having the enjoyment of being together. Whether it's video games or a sketch comedy or an anime or a park. Is that not what best friend means? I mean I don't treat him like my therapist. I don't bring up hard topics and have him reassure my feelings. I don't know, best friend is such a broad term. I guess I don't understand. Best friend to me is just someone you enjoy their company when they are around and I always enjoy when my son feels like hanging out which is less now that he's starting teens 😢 but I accept him unconditionally and understand. Am I using the wrong phrase?

❤

is it normal that it has a cookie dough texture

Thanks so much

Maestroooooo

I want to try the first one but my mom isn't home so ill have to ask later. I'll keep you updated

For some reason my salt dough turned to liquid

Me making quicksand with more dirt to make clay

1 clay 😅

How to harden the clay 😊

Thank you! I just started experimenting with nerikomi and been wondering what the heck to do with the scraps 🙏😅💜🩷💚🧡

Is it cheaper to make your own clay

I love this video. I already colored some clay. Tomorrow I'll try some nerikomi.

Can make wall art with this mixture?

When mixing the clay what is your opinion on the best way to avoid bubbles w/out messing up your clay design?

Great idea We’ll start using it. One request please: Lose the music, it’s distracting, interferes with your narration and quite an unpleasant piece that does the opposite of wanting one to follow the point of the video. Thank you.

Seriously! That easy I thought it’s expensive 😮

In ceramic tile why in grey it is grey on top but different colours all through, which is not exactly the grey on top

Yay I have clay✨👍

Any update since? I hope you were able to rebuild this cool space in your new home!
