AMACO Glaze Combo - Fall Soup Bowls!

In this video I show a new combo with River Birch, Wasabi and Textured Turquoise. (Please forgive the heat gun, it will be edited out in time lapse better next time) Beautiful bowls in an easy to recreate process. You’ll LOVE these bowls!

It’s meditative and we learn more from the detailed process

Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate you watching and commenting.

Love seeing other potters combo glazes! I’m still learning. We can always fast forward.

[@healingearthceramics9472]

Thanks for the feedback.

[@gabriellame1815]

I absolutely love your videos, and yes the long one too. Glazing videos are my favourite ones. There is so much tricks can be seen. But basically I love any longer videos about pottery 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@healingearthceramics9472]

Glad you like them! Thanks for the comment.

[@kellyrandy2002]

I love this! I think the longer video is fantastic, glazing can be hard to get right and this is perfect demonstration.

[@healingearthceramics9472]

Thank you so much!

[@triciac1019]

I trim the bottom of my pots like you do. I will add those lines to help slow down runny glazes. Your work is just beautiful. I love that glaze. I go to a studio and it is fun. I would though love to have a studio of my own. Thank you for sharing your talents and ideas. I subscribed. I will look at more of your work.

[@healingearthceramics9472]

Thanks for watching and I hope they are helpful for you.

To me time is not the critical factor, quality of the content is what is most important. I’ve wasted my time on 8 minute videos and spent every last second on a great one hour plus one. Your videos are of excellent quality, with an informative and approachable style. I can go and try doing what you show right afterwards. That is well worth my time. Thank you.

[@healingearthceramics9472]

Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate your comment. Glad the videos are useful.

[@kathrynsimpkins1618]

I enjoy seeing the details

[@jackiemorrison2661]

Thank you for the comment Jan. I’m really glad you like the videos. More to come.

[@healingearthceramics9472]

Good to know! Thank you for the comment. I really appreciate my followers.

[@roosterhollow4205]

I’m also learning to use glaze combos and find this video very useful and instructive. Thanks for taking the time to share with us. Keep them coming!

[@healingearthceramics9472]

So glad it’s helpful. Thanks for the comment. I’ve slowed down a bit for the holidays but hope to pick it up again soon. Happy Holidays!

[@auroraskies8827]

I really like the longer videos - as a beginner I need all the visual help I can get! Thanks for the generous sharing of your knowledge and skills. sub zero and snow here in Saskatchewan :/

[@healingearthceramics9472]

Thank you for the input. Brrrrr….stay warm and inside. Watch another video. 😊

[@auroraskies8827]

Hahaha - if you make them, I'll watch them. I'm very grateful for the community of potters who so generously make videos. @@healingearthceramics9472

[@maxnine57]

Start to finish firing and show the finished mugs, soup bowls I'm starting out and it would be great to see your pieces finished thanks for your posts a learning experience

[@healingearthceramics9472]

Thank you for the feedback. I’ll post these going in and coming out of the kiln.

[@micheledickey4066]

I’m sure someone has replied to you about the chunks in the glaze but just in case they haven’t the chunks are crystals that burst and melt when in the kiln. The best way to be sure to get the crystals is to use a spoon to scrape the bottom so when you shake the glaze the crystals get incorporated into the glaze. If they settle really fast I just scoop some out with a spoon and apply them with a brush with the last coat! Thank you sooooo much for your videos!! I’d love to see a tour of your space. I’m so glad your wife encouraged you to have your own space to do your pottery!

[@healingearthceramics9472]

Thanks for the info and your comment. I appreciate your input. I’ll share the space in the future.

[@erikwilliams8703]

Looking sweet!!!

[@healingearthceramics9472]

Thanks!!

[@kellyannstonejohnson4204]

I love the combo. I am originally from Arkansas, then moved to Idaho in 91. Then got into pottery in 2020 and got hooked. Instead of the Birch, I am going to use Winterwood. I will post a picture when I get done. But thank you for the time you took to show how you applied the glazes.

[@healingearthceramics9472]

I see Winterwood is a matte glaze. It will be interesting to see how that turns out. Would love to see your pics. What I like about River Birch is it is one of Amaco’s flux glazes so as a base it helps everything run together. I hope you are enjoying Idaho. Sounds cold to me 😊.

[@kellyannstonejohnson4204]

It is cold but a dry cold. Not very much humid in the summer. I will send pics when it is done.

[@FunkyPhish]

Thanks so much for the tip to stop the runny glazes! I have a terrible problem with that happening so I will try your method!

[@healingearthceramics9472]

I hope it helps you. I use it as a decorative enhancement on these bowls but they don’t have to be that big. One nice groove towards the foot can sometimes be all you need. Thanks for watching. I appreciate your comment.

[@janandbrad]

Just viewed your video......fantastic.....loved the detail. Keep these coming! Have learned so much! Thanks!

Stirring tip for the crystals. I use plastic knives. Always have them from parties. No one uses the knife lol I wash them & reuse. They stir so well.

[@healingearthceramics9472]

Great tip! Thanks for sharing.

[@kimglidden8801]

Gorgeous! I can't wait to try this combo. I like the long videos every once in a while too. :)

I loved this video! I enjoy listening to you... your voice and manner is very soothing. I also was so happy to see and hear your technique for applying the glazes! Short or long? Either is good... if I don’t have the time for a long one, I just send it to myself for later when I do! Either way, your pottery and videos are DOPE!♥️😂🔥🤷‍♀️

[@healingearthceramics9472]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the feedback(pause here while I go put on my cape)! It’s always a challenge to know what style video fits most people. I’m really glad you enjoy my work.

Glad you find it helpful. Thanks for watching.

[@dianemodel5824]

Thanks for the demo. Edit out the heat gun and it will be quicker. We are doing bowls of hope and I will try this on some of the bowls.

[@healingearthceramics9472]

Thanks, I’ve started fast forwarding the heat gun. I can cut it out in the future. Hope you enjoyed the video.

[@kdwalters4146]

I love you videos. I just ordered River Birch myself! My daughter and her family live in ARK. and we are planning to move there in the next year or so. Can you give any tips on Art festivals I should attend in Eureka Springs or Mountain Home? I am hoping I can make pottery to supplement our retirement in that area. Thank you for the time and energy you put into your videos!

[@healingearthceramics9472]

That is awesome! I’m sure there are plenty of festivals around although I don’t know them specifically. I’d check with the chamber of commerce or Google festivals for each area. Both towns are beautiful places to enjoy.

[@janandbrad]

Viewed your video again.....love that combination. What cone do you fire at....any holding? Thanks in advance!

[@healingearthceramics9472]

I fire to cone 6. I have 2 old Duncan manual kilns so there is no hold. I usually go on Low for an hour, move to Medium for around 2 hours then go to High for 2 more hours. At the 5 hour mark I set it on High Fire and let it run till the kiln sitter trips which usually around 5.25 to 5.50 hours. It’s really quick but that’s how my old glaze kiln works. It get’s hot fast and gets the job done. I use my other kiln for bisque because it heats up slower. Hope this helps. Glad you liked the video.

[@maxnine57]

Is the bowl you showed the same glaze in the beginning of your post looks great thanks

[@healingearthceramics9472]

Yes, that bowl is River Birch with Albany Slip Brown around the rim.

[@kimberlyknight3428]

Gorgeous. What brush are you using please?

[@healingearthceramics9472]

I use a fan brush for large areas and the old wooden import brushes for other stuff. I actual have a thick round brush for acrylic paints I got at Hobby Lobby for smaller areas.

[@mdwebb100]

Store glazes with crystals upside down.

[@healingearthceramics9472]

Thanks, that’s a really good idea. 😊

[@kdwalters4146]

PS hoping y'all get to Wine country before the colors are completely gone

[@healingearthceramics9472]

Thank you! We live in the heart of trees and the color was probably better here than south of us. We took the next day to just mosey around locally for a few hours and enjoy some beautiful trees.

[@Elizabeth-mo3fv]

how much clay do you use for soup mugs?

[@healingearthceramics9472]

1 lb and 6 oz. More if you want bigger or taller.
