Chattering Pottery Explained.

[@janaygriffin7421]

I bought my chattering tools following your first video. I’ve yet to have an opportunity to use. Please continue to post chattering videos, they’re great!

[@Vsmithpots]

I am kind of addicted to them, I keep making bowls to play with them.

[@lindaleary9913]

I am addicted to your chattering videos. Watched them several times. I need to make more bowls to practice your technique. I have messed up several bowls trying to get the hang of this. But, it is a lot of fun.

[@sandracartica4932]

That was great! I was so excited to see all the different textures and patterns!

[@Vsmithpots]

Thanks, you get to see more in the new video tonight.

[@llanitedave]

A lot of those patterns remind me of cuneiform writing. It looks really nice! Whatever your age, the joy of your creativity always comes through, and has ever since we started watching your videos. It's a joy to follow along with you!

[@Vsmithpots]

I said that in one of the chattering videos, great minds think alike. It is the triangle cut mark and the clay surface, millenia old writing.

[@lindaleary9913]

Really like the glazed effect of your pieces.

[@ReapWhatYouSeauxLeJeune]

I love the patterns!! Beautiful work…

[@susanvalleauderby2934]

I really enjoyed watching your chattering experiments and then to see the pieces glazed was really helpful. I've tried my new tools on about 6 bowls and 3 teapot bodies so far, a bit underwhelming but I will persevere. The Chun Green is a beautiful glaze to show off the marks. Merry Christmas to you and Jackie!

[@Vsmithpots]

Thanks Susan, I have lots of ideas to explore with them. Merry Xmas.

[@bettytaylor9430]

Love your tea pots and enjoyed watching you experiment with chattering. I do like the lines defining the different areas that were chattered.

Chattering pottery is so fun! Thanks for sharing!

[@gerriabdollah5102]

I love your videos. I've learned so much from you. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@marygleason1189]

Thanks for the detailed chattering tutorial, stay warm and happy holidays to you both from Michigan!

[@Vsmithpots]

You guys are in deep snow. stay safe.

I bought the chattering tools also love them!! Thank you Vaughan

[@nonya4754]

Merry Christmas, Vaughn and Jacque!

Merry Christmas Vaughan and Jaque.

[@freddiemoretti8456]

Happy holidays to you both! Another really enjoyable video Vaughan as usual with great tidbits. All the best for the coming year. Cheers...Freddie

[@Vsmithpots]

Thanks Freddie, got your snow suit out today, you were colder than us Friday. We had 52F briefly. Colder now. Happy New Year.

[@lauran8058]

Beautiful chattering! Thank you for sharing. Would you share recipes for the transparent glazes you showed?

[@Vsmithpots]

Send me an email and I will send you photos of my glaze pages.

[@allenfitz1]

Hi Vaughn. Happy Newyear and Happy Birthday. Love the videos. I'm Learn a lot from you . Question. Have you tried verting the speed of the wheel as you travel down the pot. I think you will find a diffrent style of chattering as the speed verries. Again thank for the videos. I look forward to them sunday morning here in Detroit Michigan area.

[@Vsmithpots]

Thanks I was experimenting again today, using slips and stains to chatter through, future video. I think I love the textures created but I am trying to get patterns and they seem to be when the wheel goes slower.. My wife is from Pontiac.

[@srkzfan]

Really fun - thank you!

[@pamthompson8469]

I have really enjoyed watching your exploration of chattering. Try applying coloured or black slip before you chatter. It will likely define the texture

[@Vsmithpots]

I thought of that and was planning on a video using slip and also underglazes, comparing them.

Can you share Chun Green recipe.? Lovely kiln opening 🤗

[@Vsmithpots]

I will put them in a video on kiln opening January 15th.

[@marykowalski7349]

Have you made a video about how to create plaster chucks? Any tips on making plaster bats? Thanks in advance.

[@Vsmithpots]

I stay away from plaster because of the chipping. The plaster will chip with normal wear and tear and those chips explode if they get fired inside clay pieces. I use bisque fired clay chucks.

[@marykowalski7349]

@@Vsmithpots Thank you!!!!! I’ll try making some

[@judywang8393]

What's the tool you use for chattering please?

[@Vsmithpots]

Www.artisan pottery tools.Com

[@lyndafjellman3315]

Do you suppose the "dig in angle" one might be for left handed/clockwise chattering? I work on a kick wheel so either way is pretty easy and I find that trimming left handed sometimes gives me better results. If you had bands like what you are doing and alternated left and right spin?.

[@Vsmithpots]

Yet another good idea. I find the new reverse tools Bill sent are good for chattering up the wall and the other side of the tool for going down the wall. Playtime again.

[@yaelsoussan7554]

Do you have a recipe for mouse grey glaze?

[@Vsmithpots]

They are in this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJureH9-mJaVmck

[@marykowalski7349]

I am so confused - I am on the website, interested in the set of four (but which ones? inside, outside, triamgle marks?) and I don't know what the burnishing/trimming tool does. Could you please explain? I am fascinated by the idea of chattering. Thanks in advance.

[@Vsmithpots]

I would suggest the round nib and the square nib for inside and outside chattering. The pointed and square trimming tools are my favourites .

@@Vsmithpots Thank you so much!! I’d love to visit this summer from Maine. We have an electric car so would need to find chargers.

[@Vsmithpots]

@@marykowalski7349 Good luck, I know there are chargers here in Bridgewater.
