grwm for market! the full pottery process

[@rumo9]

For the plucking that happened on your mugs, in my studio we use wax mixed with a little bit of alumina hydrate to wax the bottoms. The alumina hydrate has such a high melting point that it doesn't melt at all at cone 6 and creates kind of a buffer between the bottom of the mug and the kiln shelf. Sorry if you've already figured out the issue / to give unsolicited advice but I figured I might as well share since it's such an easy way to keep pots from chipping off on the kiln shelves! Love the vlog and your work!!

I’ve definitely found my new favourite KZbin channel 🎉❤

[@fuzzles93]

I want to see more if the painting/glazing process because your art is beautiful and I feel like unique to the other potters I watch on KZbin

[@Inkymakes]

I hope I'm as good at throwing as you one day I've got a wheel of my own but I definitely feel more confident hand building

[@KendraWilson]

I just sat down with a coffee and saw you had uploaded!!! Couldnt have been more perfect timing!! Much love from Australia xo

[@fromtreetosea]

perfect timing hehe :-) I don't usually post in the evenings so I'm glad you caught it!!

[@Lisy8002]

Your videos are answers to so many questions I’ve had for so long. Thank you. If you don’t mind sharing, where did you get the bevel edge ruler? I’ve looked but can’t find. Thanks again

[@bubbleandafork9312]

hello, its always so great to see your videos! the vibes and the art is off the wall! my professor recently did a demo on mason stains, and he used slip and mixed the mason stains in and let them dry on a plaster board, similar to recycling clay. it eliminates the headache of having to wedge it a whole bunch! however, you do have to wait for the slip to dry, so its best when you have more time! either way, loved your work for this market! all love from texas

[@fromtreetosea]

oooh this is a great tip, thank you! I have used coloured reclaim mixed into fresh clay, but that's a good idea to add more stain while it's still a bit sloppy so it's more pigmented when I mix it in! thanks for watching love :-) 💕

[@kasenhutton]

this is one of my faves that you've done!! So fun to see the process from start to finish. Can you talk about your bat system (or point me to where you've talked about it before?) I have a wheel with no pins and it seems like you didn't use pins either just that cloth underneath?

[@fromtreetosea]

aw yay! I just linked it in the description, the cloth is called a bat-mate, you just wet it and spread it on the wheel head and then put the bat on top and kinda press it down till it feels secure! my wheel is super old and doesn't fit some of the usual bat sizes :-) my full system with the inserts is by Dirty Girls!

[@MiyokoLune]

This is one of my favorite videos!! I too, am on a mason stain journey in my pottery and I always struggle with the process of mixing the two together. I wish there was an easier way to add the stain! I love this video because it shows just how much time it takes!

[@fromtreetosea]

ahh thank you!!! at least our arms are getting so strong, right? also wild, I just binge watched your videos last night, they came up on my home page! so happy you're here :-) 💕

[@elizabetherowley99]

Thank you! That was great! First, when your plate was a little smoky, muddy, kind of thing, our clear at our studio. If you don’t get the piece a little wet first it’ll turn out like that so we just get our piece a little wet, not soaking and then we put on our clear and you don’t get that muddy-ness.. second I am also trying to play with coloring my clay.. so I made colored slip first, then incorporated the slip into my clay.. haven’t fired mine yet

[@fromtreetosea]

thanks for all the tips!!! I tried the wetting the bisque one the other day and it came out perfect! 👌🏽

[@fromtreetosea]

ty for being here!!

[@ashleyk3745]

I looooooooveeee your videos. I’m getting my studio prepped to do some clay work. Seeing your process is super helpful since I haven’t worked with clay since high school lol.

[@fromtreetosea]

ahh thank you, that's so fun! I'm excited for you to get set up! :-)

[@juliuslove]

Thank you for sharing that nerikomi process! Mason stains intimate me but you made it look so easy. Loved how the market pieces turning out :) btw where did you get your new wedging/canvas board from?

[@fromtreetosea]

they intimidated me for a while too! I feel like you just need to finally do things and then when you do you wonder what all the fuss was about 😂 it's from Sounding Stone, I just linked it in the description! 💕

[@briannejmbrothers7145]

Love your videos- always my favourite to watch when they pop up on my feed. I gotta ask, cause us millennials need all the vessels, where is that cute little lemon coloured travel mug from!? Thank you 🥰

[@fromtreetosea]

ahah omg I feel that in my soul! it's from Fellow, got it from my local fancy coffee supply shop :-)

[@melissabeek5254]

Hello hello!! So wonderful to watch your videos and as a ceramist myself i just love your creative vibe , thank you for that!! If i may ask, what kind of clay do you use? it looks so smooth with centering and pulling on the wheel, i use stoneware clay with 0,2 amount of chamotte and sometimes it is such a hard work to even centre the clay, especially with big amounts like a kilo?? Thanks and wish you a amazing day! Greets Melissa (The Netherlands)

[@rosemarinetextiles]

the red glaze looks so good!! I know that's not easy to achieve. What does dipping it in water after the bisque firing do? I loved seeing your hand building process and experimenting with colored clay!! I love the look of the designs drawn with underglaze pencil. Everything looks amazing!!!

[@fromtreetosea]

the water is simply a safety measure, because I prefer to wet sand to make sure that no lil dust particles are getting stuck in my lungs :-) I've been more on top of my sanding game with the nerikomi pieces bc I feel like it makes the edges between the colours more crisp. and thanks so much friend!!! excited to keep playing around with it hehe 💕

[@Theemod01]

Where is the yellow thermos cup from?

[@haYla910]

love your videos so much!! Is your white clay a stoneware or earthenware? I find my stoneware to fire to a really cream colour and the mayco stroke & coat/amaco velvets either burn off or have a weird texture when i fire to cone 5. Would love any tips if you found this in the past pleaseee. Keep up the amazing content

[@fromtreetosea]

it's stoneware! it's actually called "bright white" from Tucker's (in Ontario) - I also pretty much exclusively fire to cone 6 so I'm not totally sure! in my experience, texture issues can be from applying too thick (or maybe they're not reaching the right temp to melt properly?) 💕

[@paulareuber919]

I love your content!! What camera equipment do you use...?

[@fromtreetosea]

thank you!! I use a canon g7x mark ii mostly, and sometimes my iphone 14 :-)

[@Marmarushka]

Hello from Vancouver! Haha I often wonder why I chose ceramics too 😅😂. Always love seeing your process! So inspiring ❤. What is that cloth/bat thing you use when throwing? I’ve never seen it before ☺️

[@fromtreetosea]

ahh hiiiii! it's called a bat mate, I just linked mine in the description :-)
