Your work is amazing! I would love to try this ..Where can I get the tool you are using to make the garlic dish .

[@asdfsdfawefssfdfdfd]

very cool, thank you

[@HanaCeramics]

Thank you!

[@jeanniemullaly8321]

I love your mugs! Are you using porcelain or B-Mix?

[@juliesclavo3286]

C’est superbe 🤩 quelle type de terre utilise tu pour avoir un aussi jolie résultat ?

[@dianataliun5561]

Love all your videos! I wanted to ask at what temperature you burn all the mugs? If i don't make a 'leg' and glaze the bottom all my cups leave wet circles everywhere.

[@HanaCeramics]

I fire my mugs to cone 6! My glaze is very stable so it doesn’t run when fired, unless an absurdly thick layer was used!

[@BurgardPottery]

What cone are these fired to and do you use any special firing schedule?

[@imperfectionisperfection]

These are beautiful!!! Do you mind to share what brand and glaze did you use for getting green and terracotta colors? Thank you!!

[@HanaCeramics]

Thank you! These are my own glazes that I make myself!

[@lesliehedges6100]

Beautiful! Those chickens agree 😂

[@HanaCeramics]

Haha thank you!

[@Kirill3519]

Your mugs look fantastic! Do you buy your glazes or do you mix them yourself?)

[@HanaCeramics]

Thank you so much! I mix them myself!

[@Kirill3519]

@@HanaCeramics They look fantastic) Is it hard to mix your glazes? When did you teach to do that? 🫣

[@HanaCeramics]

It's not hard at all! The website Glazy has plenty of recipes that you can start off with. John Britt and Old Forge Creations have good glaze recipes and resources to start off with as well.

[@humansheegabhane1238]

Which clay did u use

[@Brooksms]

Do you have a glazy recipe or one in John b's book that you'd recommend starting from? This glaze looks like the perfect finish! Not too shiny. :)

[@HanaCeramics]

My glaze is what's known as a magnesium matte glaze. This type of base is what gives that silky, but still matte finish. John Britt has one on glazy: glazy.org/materials/18951. Magnesium matte glazes can be tough though because a lot of recipes have a really high thermal expansion which makes them really prone to crazing. I've had to do an extensive amount of testing and altering to remedy this issue. I have to say it's worth it though because no other kind of matte glaze has the silky feel of a magnesium one.

[@Brooksms]

@@HanaCeramics Thank you so much for the info!!

[@patriciag.6395]

How much (weight) clay do you measure for each mug? What is the name of glaze you use? I'm a beginner potter.

[@HanaCeramics]

I use about a pound of clay. My glaze is my own recipe!

[@mariapatriciachavez214]

❤❤❤❤

[@F.Reham_ramzii]

What is the type of clay u use. Name plsss

[@charliedelta988]

What is the investment if someone wanted to get into doing this art as you do? If I looked into buy all used equipment what do you think the price range would be? I would love to learn how to do what you do.

[@HanaCeramics]

I honestly couldn't say because used equipment can vary so much in price. I bought all of my equipment and tools brand new and I'd say I spent around $5,000 on the wheel, kiln, and electrical work to install the kiln.

[@satyammahindroo]

Hi what's the raw material you use

[@_SharonShah_]

Please help me I have a doubt I've been trying to make earthenware mugs , but couldn't do it In my first attempt, I made the cup body Then, when I tried to attach the handle, small cracks appeared Eventually, the crack grew long and deep and it broke So I made it back to clay In my second attempt, I made the cup, attached the handle There were no problems But, when I tried to polish it by rubbing my scrapper against its dry wall,small cracks appered As happened to me before,it also grew into a long and deep one (I made that one too into clay) In my third attempt, everything was fine No cracks while making, no cracks while attaching handle. Then , it cracked when I tried to polish But it was a minute crack Just like a line drawn on it Thin and narrow,looks like it has no depth Anyway, I tried to cover the crack by adding slip,then polishing But, when the slip dries , the cracks reveals again So,I thought it was because slip and the wall of the mug where in different stages of dryness So, I dipped the mug in water for a second or two and waited Then , what I saw was really sad It had broken, from rim to base Can you, or someone who sees this comment tell me any solutions or suggestions? I have wasted like a month now Is it because of the temperature, cuz here it's like 35°C+ Does it affect? Or should I wait some more time to polish the pot, as maybe the exterior of the mug was dry while the inner layers were still wet? Please help me And , how can I make my pot cylindrical, because when I coil build it, it goes out and out, I tried your technique to turn it inside, but it turns jar-like , with a constructed nech and wide body I can't make it cylindrical, Please help me

[@brimross7890]

what is the name of that machine maam on 7:12 minutes..

[@s.langlais2512]

Wow! They are all look exactly the same, how is it possible? 🤭 Experience I suppose… Thanks for sharing!

[@HanaCeramics]

Yes tons of practice and lots of measuring in the throwing stage. I measure the width of my base when opening up the clay, the height, and the width of the rim!

[@s.langlais2512]

Taking the time to read and write this response….so gentle!😉

[@Tiny_Island_Designs]

I love your work, and your videos. I think you could save some time by not bothering to wedge those relatively small amounts of clay since you are going to be coneing (Sp?) them up and down on the wheel anyway - which essentially is wedging. For myself at least.

[@HanaCeramics]

I only wedge fresh clay a few times to make it easier for me to get it in the ball shape and soften the clay up a bit! The clay I use has been on the harder side lately and I find wedging a little makes it easier on my wrists to throw!

Deine Arbeit finde ich super. Aber die Musik im Hintergrund ist kaum auszuhalten
