Carving Ideas for Pottery - AMAZING CARVING experiment with Underglaze and Slip!

[@Paintspotsandpaper]

Would love to see them fired and finished. Thankyou for sharing.

[@LittleStreetPottery]

Thanks June - still working on glazing ideas - suggestions welcome! Will post in community section when finished. Thanks!

[@bobm2331]

Ann, sure would be nice if you could just add the finished glazed pots in this video. Never could figure out how to view community section. You must have a reason for not including here. Hummm

[@angel29476]

came to say the same thing, i ll use this technique in one of my next pieces! i would probably use a simple translucent glaze to not overload it, since it might look busy but thats just me! thank you for this lovely idea

[@triciagunberg5265]

As a newbie, it was disappointing not to see a fired end product

[@duaneandmarymartin5375]

Really need to see the finished result!!! Looks fun and intriguing but result counts!

[@LittleStreetPottery]

Look in the Community Section. thanks.

[@Adnancorner]

This carvings would be so good if you create assorted large flower pots that you can put on the floor matching the wall paint or wall paper. What amazing technique. I would save this vid to experiment with different type of carvings. I am new to pottery but still. Thanks heaps for sharing this beautiful technique.

[@SuziDennis]

Love this idea Ann!! My brain is flipping around like a fish in water!! Thanks!

[@annruel1982]

Good to hear from you Suzi! It really is a fun technique to try. I think next time I will color some slips for a cheaper option, haha. Experiment!

[@kennethdante]

You have a ton of patience. I would go bananas before finishing any of those super detailed projects

[@mkm1225]

I've used this technique ans really like the results! I colored the slip with Mason stain however. Underglaze seems a bit pricey to be used for this.

[@annruel1982]

You are right Marilyn. I will have to get some mason stains. I used what I had in my studio and I have extra black underglaze that was given to me from one of my workshops. Cheers!

[@JM-oc3ty]

@@annruel1982 I would love to see the end results too! I would probably just do a clear glaze as they as too beautiful to cover up. Love the idea of mason stains too. In Europe we don’t have the same glaze types sometimes. Thanks!!

[@Laura-it4ow]

Just love these! It kind of reminds me of the German dipped and carved candles. Just a wonderful way to add texture, color, and designs to your pots!

[@JohnLowes]

When making your slip, you might consider a few drops of sodium silicate or Darvan get the slip smooth without using as much water. That will reduce shrinking and any associated issues. I’m going to have to try this technique. I’m an admirer of the results.

[@annruel1982]

Good idea John. Funny thing is that I thought I might have issues with the slip cracking off the piece especially since we had some time constraints and were drying it so fast, but there were no issues with it at all. Might be that I was using a porcelain clay. It makes a beautiful slip that is very forgiving. Give it a try ....and thanks for watching our video.

[@SarahHeywood-q6z]

[@micheledickey4066]

@@LittleStreetPottery I would apply a clear glaze on the outsides and glaze the inside one of the colors that are on the outside. That’s probably more simple than what you like but that’s all I can think of lol.

[@adriennedupree2600]

I was wondering if you had another video like this one where you used the basic tools from the beginner set tools?

[@LittleStreetPottery]

good idea!

[@eileenc5159]

I love this. Great idea thanks for sharing.

[@vzeimen]

These turned out really neat. Love this idea a lot. Hey Ann, I've been watching people use the diamond core handle tools for some awesome extruded looking handles. I would never pay the price for those but wondering, have you tried handles using just regular old trimming tools to do the same thing. I'd love to see your take on this. I've been doing some experimenting but would love to see your ideas for using this type of handle.

[@annruel1982]

Hi Vicki. I have only seen one other company make carving tools for extruding handles. think it was Kemper but those handles were a bit narrow for what I was looking for. more teacup sized handles. If you are going for that size, those tools will work once you get the hang of how much pressure to use when cutting the clay. I havent tried any other tools for the extruding. It would be fun to look through my tools and see if there is one to try. Thanks for the idea :-)

[@Paintspotsandpaper]

I bought a set of 3 diamond core Extruder and was disappointed at the width of handle they produced. The tools were much smaller than they looked in the picture and adverts. They’re nice enough tools, but have gone back to using my extruder gun.

[@darlink57]

Excellent video! I’ve always wanted to try this. You make it look almost easy! Does it help to throw a thinner pot in the beginning since you are adding on layers?

[@annruel1982]

Hi Dar. Well, we carved away as much clay as we added so surprisingly most of the pieces were not heavy. I did have one that was heavy but I added a lot of layers to it. I would suggest to throw as usual. Good luck and thanks for watching

[@artgirlmermaid]

Hi Ann..so informative and unique. You are VERY generous sharing your ideas openly. May I ask: Was the the piece leatherhard when you began applying the black underglaze.. if not.. what stage of dryness would you place it? Did you put a clear glaze over the piece? Thank you.

[@LittleStreetPottery]

Yes leather hard when applying the underglazes and slip. Clear (Amaco C-11) coat on final glaze over top. Very light.

[@artgirlmermaid]

@@LittleStreetPottery thank you!

[@ariellacherubini4728]

Siete strepitosi!

[@jania2fangrrl]

Beautiful! How would you smooth the rough edges without muddy'ing the colors? Usually a damp sponge works for smoothing sharpness of carving, but in this case, a damp sponge would smear the colors, right?

[@LittleStreetPottery]

I think you are right but maybe a LIGHTLY dampened sponge could work...

[@gladysguayara8443]

Felicitaciones hermoso trabajo, quiero saber cómo es el secado de esta porcelana y que material es barro...soy Colombiana y recién empecé a seguir está pág, gracias por lo que me puedan colaborar.

[@LittleStreetPottery]

Check out my other videos on how I use porcelain. You can use most any porcelain purchased from a supply store. Good luck in your clay journey!

[@kezkn]

Nice technique but wish the colors were as contrast as the sea

[@annruel1982]

That would be really pretty Keka. Thanks for watching.

[@donnajones1167]

I don't have any porcelain slip or clay. I think my Bmix slip would not be as dramatic. How do I make it whiter? Thanks. Love your videos.

[@daleglenny1133]

I think a mix would be just as dramatic. Give it a go!

[@callycamp1576]

How about layering the underglazes in a random pattern of 2 different colors for the same layer? For instanceIf you use black red and yellow, draw an imaginary diagonal line around your piece. Then, use black on one half and Red on the other half. Your imaginary line could even be two diagonal zig zag lines. The next layer might be yellow all over. Then do Black and red again in approximately the oppossite areas. For example, where you placed black as layer #1, now place red, and vice versa. It does not need to be exact. Anyway, that is the idea I had.

[@LittleStreetPottery]

Cool! We will discuss!

[@kenyonchan457]

[@LittleStreetPottery]

[@PatDon5578]

When fired with the glaze...does it run to the pattern under it?

[@LittleStreetPottery]

We did not have issues with running - but I think that will depend on the glaze and thickness etc.

[@jjvintagetoysdiecastcar889]

Before doing this . the work was fired bisgue yet. Sorry for my English. And I'm very new for ceramic

[@LittleStreetPottery]

No, the clay was not bisqued yet. I let the clay dry for a day before carving. Thanks.

[@brigittechoquet6663]

Hello, what happened if you do not put slip in between the underglaze layers ?

[@annruel1982]

Hi Brigitte. I did not try that because the value between the colors was so similar (the darkness or lightness of the colors) that I dont think your eye would have been able to note the difference between the layers. I think the stark white slip provides the high contrast so that your eye can appreciate the individual layers. I could be wrong, I just didnt experiment with that. Give it a try :-) ....and thank you for watching

[@daleglenny1133]

@@annruel1982 The slip provides a thicker layer than underglaze (and much cheaper…have you tried staining the clay?) I’m a slip caster and use coloured clay all the time in my work. Black has high staining power, so you don’t need much.

[@annruel1982]

@@daleglenny1133 Thanks for the great tips Dale. I would have stained some of the slip black if I had any black mason stain left. As it was, I did have a few bottles of black underglaze I scored from a workshop I did a while back, so I used what I had on hand for the video. You are right it would have been a lot cheaper, but I went for the time saver, haha. I will keep your tips in mind for next time

Can you reclaim what you carve out from the three black and white layers?

If you can catch it when its pretty fresh I imagine you could do something with it. It would be colored of course because of the underglaze...we will have to put that on the list to experiment with - good idea!
