4 Easy Chip n' Dip Bowls - WITH FREE TEMPLATES! HAND BUILDING and WHEEL THROWING!

[@LittleStreetPottery]

****EXTRA TIPS FOR SUCCESS**** These projects are easy to construct, but challenging as it starts to dry and shrink. Tips for success are: 1. Keep the Hand Built projects IN THE MOLDS untii they are either almost or totally dry. 2. For the Wheel Thrown projects, you wont be trimming a foot along the bottom so throw the big bowls with a 1/4 inch or a little more clay along the bottom the try and trim as much of the excess clay away from the side walls to avoid uneven drying. 3. All cut or folded areas of a bowl are vulnerable to cracking so really reinforce them with burnishing and extra clay to avoid problems. 4. Wire off the big bowls from the bat when it is freshly thrown for a little less stress on the clay as it dries and shrinks. 5. On the bowl with the folded flap, when it is dry a little, you may want to wire under the flap. If the flap and the bottom of the big bowl (especially with the little bowl. over top of it) remain joined together when it goes through the drying process, it will cause uneven drying and extra stress on the fragile bottom. You can even try totally trimming and cutting away the section of the clay flap under the little bowl to eliminate even more bulk. 5. DRY THEM SLOWLY UNDER PLASTIC UNTIL EVEN THE BOTTOM IS TOTALLY DRY.

Ann, I think your videos are the best, and I've watched many. From the sound of your voice, the concise instructions, the professional video editing, the camera angles, the unique ideas you share... it's all just perfection. Please give your videographer many kudos from us!

[@LittleStreetPottery]

Thank you so much for your kind words and watching!

I did style with the side pushed down once when I dented in the side of a pie plate I was making lol

[@annruel1982]

Hahaha, Been there and done that too. Great way to take lemons and make lemonade....or in your case lemon pie, haha.

[@mudslingerkat]

lol Ann!! Thank you for all your inspiration! Great innovations always impressed…and I spit my coffee and almost fell off my chair at the end🤣🤣🤣🤣🤬🤣🤣🤣🤣 omg🤣🤣🥰🥰🥰

[@annruel1982]

Hey Kat, hahaha. I didnt know he put that into the video. Thanks for letting me know. I had a good laugh too. What a mistake, hahaha. Thanks for watching.

[@denisenoble4010]

Ann another great video, just love the first hand built bowl with its wavy edge. Both ideas with the thrown bowls were also beautiful. the decoration on all surfaces was a pretty combo of colours. thanks for sharing v

[@LittleStreetPottery]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@dragonboatphoenix6375]

Hi Ann, thank you for making this video. Especially on the fourth bowl. I have been checking out these swirl dipping bowls and wondering how to go about it. But I love your style as both the dipping and the chip or out bowl are both large enough to hold lots. Thank you for doing this!! I’ll now give it a shot. On another note, I just bought myself an inexpensive portable airbrush from Temu. I am hoping to use it on my pots but still trying to find videos of other artists using this tool for pottery. Have you ever used one?

[@annruel1982]

Hey Dragon. Always good to hear from you. Thank so much for watching and I am glad this video inspires you. As far as the airbrush. I dont know about the specific brand, but I have seen other artists use the airbrushes to spray little pieces of pottery and it was really cool. Just remember to wear your mask. What I am more interested to try is the air powered machine to push the slip out and do slip trailing with. I think it is really used to make piping on decorative cakes, but I hear it can be used for slip trailing on pottery.

[@dragonboatphoenix6375]

@@annruel1982 ahh yes I think I may have bought the wrong tool. Yes that is what I had in mind as well, a tool to help paint with slip. Let me know if you start working on that and your results please. Most definitely I will be using a mask when I try out this air brush. I have been used occasionally my mouth operated atominizer to spray glaze with I have always wondered about whether or not I can be a hazard to my lungs but of course I can’t where a mask when using it. Thoughts?

[@annruel1982]

@@dragonboatphoenix6375 I think both tools would be so fun to play around with for sure. I dont think you can go wrong. As far as the atomizer goes, I dont use mine often but when I do I either go outside to do it, or if I am using it to do a project for the video, I am in a garage so we just open the garage door and let it air out. Will that work for you? Happy potting!! Ann

Your video are great but I am having difficulty accessing your templates

[@embee7434]

Omg I can't TELL you how often I flip off my pottery! 😂😂😂😂 (usually right before it goes BACK into the bag -- then it gets a "Sit there and THINK about what you've done.") Seriously though, beautiful outcomes. They were all spectacular. I think I am most drawn to the last one. The fluted one is also very pretty. Excited to see them after they have been finalized. You're so skilled. Thank you for sharing.

[@annruel1982]

Hey Em!! I just had a laugh out loud roll on the floor moment ---thanks for that---haha, think about what you have done, haha. Love it. Thanks as always for watching and for your support. You know Jim and I appreciate you.

[@deborahdanhauer8525]

I really like those bowls, especially the first swirl bowl! I bet you could size the larger bowl down some and make it a soup and crackers/sandwich bowl too❤️🐝🤗

[@annruel1982]

Hey Deborah! What a great idea or maybe play with creating the little bowl on the outside of the bigger bowl to hold the crackers/sandwich. You got me thinking now

[@laurieandreoniwilson597]

Thanks so much! That template is something I will use for the large bowl many times over!

[@LittleStreetPottery]

Great thanks!

[@johnandmarthateubner157]

The bowls are lovely, I am anxious to make all 4 of them. BUT I cant figure out how to get the Styrofoam bowl. Please let me know how to order this bowl. Thanks

[@annruel1982]

Hi John and Martha. Thanks so much for watching. Im glad you like them. I got my 11.9 inch styrofoam half ball at Hobby Lobby. YOu can order them online. good luck.

Have you checked your craft stores?

[@jeanettesherratt1276]

Hi Anne. Thanks for sharing your tips. Please can you tell me what clay you use. It always looks lovely and white. Is it porcelain?

[@annruel1982]

Hi Jeanette. Nice to meet you. I use Standard brand English Porcelain #365. It is the best clay I have found to make my own personal pottery with. I do free hand drawing and painting and it creates a wonderful palette. Thanks for watching our video.

[@michellem2517]

She uses a porcelain, I think a cone 6.

Although I do not care for the "splatter" technique with underglaze, I really enjoyed the unique designs you demonstrated here. You do a wonderful job with these videos.

[@maryannrogers8550]

I still can't see the replies on your videos, AKA your replies to people's questions. I looked it up on the internet and found "It's most likely that KZbin has flagged some replies as spam or inappropriate, and has hidden them automatically. Comments that have been flagged like this can be un-hidden by the video's uploader at their discretion." Don't know if that will help.
