Amaco Chun Plum Glaze & Fixing Pinholes

AACK! I accidentally bought a gallon of Amaco Chun Plum Glaze... What did I learn? There's a huge savings if you buy it buy the gallon, but also OMG! It was a big chunk of cash to fork over in the first place!! But no regrets. I think you'll appreciate all the random stuff I talk about in this video. I need you here to keep me on task and keep me from being lonely as I make my pottery. I have some big plans and I hope to have some news for you in the coming weeks. I am super hard trying to not jinx it by wanting it to much! I hope you are well and I hope you leave comments because I love making pottery friends and contacts all over the world.
Here's my website that I would love for you to visit: tinychickpotte...
You can check out my pottery glazed in various Amaco Potter's Choice glaze combinations and also I have lots of pottery examples using Amaco Velvet Underglazes and coated always 3 coats of Amaco Zinc Free Clear or Mayco SW-004 Clear (which are very similar.) Seeing as clear glaze has been hard to come by I think that might be helpful information. Also - Dang, have you seen how hard it is to get Obsidian and Smoky Merlot glaze? I blame my video that got 35,000 views and the gorgeous examples of pottery pictures that I posted in the thumbnail pics. Y'all went out there and bought it all up!
Other Info: I fire to Cone 5 with a 10 minute hold, typically. I am now using BMix 5 ( I think it's made by Laguna). I use a Shimpo Whisper Pottery wheel and a TINY Paragon Kiln

Thank you, I agree, Every year, January SUCKS! I’m relieved to hear it’s not just me, but, sorry it’s you too. You videos are helpful, thank you for posting.

Yes, once you live through enough January in February, you realize that spring is coming and you just need to wait. Have a happy week!

I love wabi sabi pots. Some potters won't sell items if they aren't up to their high standards, but I prefer to have flaws in a piece and feel the artist in the piece. Speaking of that, Julie I use the Dream Girl mug I purchased from you daily and it makes an appearance in so many of my TikTok videos! I just love it, it really is the only mug I use these days. I just accepted my first custom order yesterday on Etsy for salad servers (spoon & fork.) I'm nervous, and a bit intimidated, but also excited that someone entrusted me with building a piece for them out of all the tens of thousands of potters on Etsy. She wants the pieces to match a platter set that she had of her Mother's. I told her there was a nonrefundable $20 production fee and she must purchase the item before production started. I also don't accept returns or refunds unless the piece arrives damaged and contacted same day with photo proof.

That’s very smart! She’ll love it!!

The life hack with counting the coats absolutely great! I have a hard time to remember…2,3, maybe 4..😅I wish I could see an other video, where you put the other glazes on. I just ordered some Amaco highfires, trying to collect “knowledge”:) thank you for sharing!

I have other videos- one where I work back and forth between two different and I show how I keep track. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpC6eIxniZeAqtU here you go!

I quit doing any pottery commissions years ago. I found that seldom did what I thought the client wanted and what they wanted matched. I quit making anything in pottery I didn’t like. That way if I was stuck with something that didn’t sell it was something I liked. Would be interested to see your controlled flop method.

That’s a great video topic! I’m pretty sure I showed it in a video but it should be it’s own topic! Thanks so much for the great suggestion!
