How to do the Impulse Pattern using slip.

[@lisayuan]

can someone please explain how the colour runs down from each dot? my understanding is that the dots would be fired before glaze is applied, and therefore i wouldnt expect the colour to run?

[@lehacarpenter7773]

I think it's because the bisque firing doesn't fully vitrify the clay, but the glaze firing does; so when you glaze fire, the oxides can still mix and fuse with the glaze.

incredibly helpful video. thank you so so much

Hey, ur pottery was luxurious

[@iuliiaprotsenko4997]

for how long do you leave it dry after applying slip and before the first firing? it looks so good!

[@MerriWinter]

Thank you

[@sueannadams9440]

If you don't have a syringe, can you apply the slip with dotters, like I do with acrylic paints?

[@annewalker3344]

Did you fire after adding the beads and then glaze and refire?

[@faith7562]

Hi! So you are firing this now and apply the glaze before the second firing? Or do you apply the glaze straight away and fire it only once?

[@OldForgeCreations]

The former, so this is added before the bisque firing and the glaze is applied afterwards

[@keesstaps4606]

Does the slip give this blue colour

[@scjohnson243]

Do you make custom Glazes? or can you get this effect with a commercial glaze? Do you have a video on home-made glaze making if that's applicable here?

[@OldForgeCreations]

Homemade glazes, and I have a glaze mixing video I'll be posting in the next few days

[@scjohnson243]

Old Forge Creations Thank You! I have Amaco and Duncan glazes and have yet to find something that runs pretty like that!

[@dennystewart3238]

Do sharp peaks mean it's too thick or too thin?

[@OldForgeCreations]

Thick. The less water you add, the more it can hold its structure and form sharp peaks. A wetter mix will naturally round off when applied, and an even wetter mix will shrink down to form a concave dimple in the middle as the water is absorbed

@@OldForgeCreations Thank you!!

Thank you for this video, super informative. Can’t wait to see your other new videos. What are your thoughts about applying the slip on leather hard/bone dry vs after the first firing?

[@OldForgeCreations]

I think I do touch on it in the video, but if you're using straightforward slip then it will just fall off bisqueware as it dries. If you're using a slip formulated to apply to bisqueware, I still wouldn't do it that way if I didn't have to as the glaze application could rehydrate the slip and have it bleed into the glaze, but it should work.

​@@OldForgeCreations thank you for getting back to me. I must have missed that, appreciate you taking the time to put it in this comment as well!

[@sheilaestrada4361]

Are these pieces good safe

[@joallen1124]

Hi, do you make your own slip or buy? if you make it would you please do a video on how to :) many thanks from NZ

[@OldForgeCreations]

I make it. I'll do a video next time I'm mixing some, but in the meantime here's a blog post of the process: www.oldforgecreations.co.uk/blog/making-slip-from-clay-trimmings

[@joallen1124]

Old Forge Creations that’s awesome. Thank you

[@lesselavie7675]
