G’day mate from Australia, I have watched your channel since October 2020, you have inspired me to become a potter. I watched your videos over and over until I perfected them. Thank you so much for being such a great teacher , since I started I have learnt my own artistic flare and getting comfortable to sell now. Thank you for being so awesome. :) jo

Hello!such a good video, but I have a question: I have a clay that says in the technical sheet: Dry data -drying shrinkage 110°C: 6.7% Fired data: - loss in ignition (1025°C) : 5,30% -firing temperature: 1280°C -firing shrinkage: 7,5% So I don't know which one to use, or the firing percentage is measured of the bone dry clay, or should I just add the 2 percentage together? I'm very confused

Thank you for the informative videos. I am new to pottery and your channel has been so helpful in my learning process. I really appreciate your content and I have to say, you are actually my favorite YT channel on the subject of all things clay related. Your humor is a huge bonus too. 🙌😀

Super informative, love the content. I was hoping maybe some time in the future we get to see something on terra sigillata, I’m personally facing a few hiccups with it. Cheers!

Tell your ex I say "it's not cold outside, that just how it looks"

Does the shrinkage rate change within the same clay body depending on the batch? For example, I bought a clay body from Laguna clay and it has a shrinkate rate of 10% +/- 2%. After using the clay, I discovered it has a shrinkage rate of 12%. If I buy a new bag of this same clay body from Laguna, will it always have a 12% shrinkage rate or could the next bag have a 8% shrinkage rate?
