Literally followed just your steps until making the handle with kids clay, cause I didn't want to invest in a potentially short hobby, but had a lot of fun😂. So i cant do the following steps, but it was very nice to do 😊

[@KlayCeramics]

I’m so glad it helped and you had fun!✨

@@KlayCeramics is it safe to drink if you don’t have a kilm to bake the clay in can you use a regular oven? Like if you don’t have one at your house?

[@KlayCeramics]

@@abigailallen9743 If you are making items to use for food and drinks you'll need to use stoneware clay and it needs to be fired and glazed. If you are using air dry clay it is not food safe, you can only make decorative items with it.

Hi! I love your videos! Where did you get the plastic stamp/ cutter that you use to mark your logo on the clay? ❤️

[@KlayCeramics]

Thank you!🥰 my brother 3D printed it for me

[@Grace_Rosenberg]

Love your video!!! I just started to do clay and am really in the learning stage. I have a question, I noticed that you paint the mug after normal drying and burn it once after cutting, is this possible ?? Is it a special color? I would love to know, it will really help me. Thanks and keep up the great videos

[@KlayCeramics]

Thank you!☺️ you can paint it once it’s dry or after the first firing - with underglazing, normal paint will burn off. I get my work fired twice but you can also put glazing on after painting and get it fired once. Hope this makes sense. Happy to answer any other questions you may have🌸

[@acts.412]

That was so cool. I have some questions as a complete beginner - is there any specific clay and paint to use that is safe for consumption i.e. won't leech off any chemicals? Where do you buy these materials? How much water do you use knead and mold the clay? How long does it take to leather dry? How would you wash the cups after use? Thank you ! 🙏😃

[@KlayCeramics]

I suggest using stoneware clay. Use a food-safe glaze (it will indicate on the product if it is food safe), anywhere where the food/drink will be needs to be glazed so that there's a barrier between the food and the clay. You can buy these from a pottery supply store - for example, Clay King. They are an online pottery store based in USA - you can use my discount codes: Wendy5 for $5 off orders over $50 and Wendy10 for $10 off orders over $100. You do not need to add water with the clay unless the clay is slightly too dry to work with - if so then add a small amount at a time. The drying time depends on the climate that you are in - the drying rate in hot and dry areas are much quicker than in humid and wet areas. The exact estimated drying time until it's leather hard will differ throughout the year and in different areas. Once your pieces have been properly fired they can be handwashed or washed in the dishwasher - just note that the dishwasher is more harsh and so I would suggest handwashing for a longer lifespan of your piece. I hope this helps!

Very beautiful result 🥰❤️, What Kind Of Paint Can You Use On Clay? Is it just for clay?

[@fatmamohammed.2.680]

So cute thanks for the video 😍! I want to ask you .. i searched before about pottery .. i read that we should fire them twice .. first after form them from clay .. second after color them .. l get confused.. why do they did that ? Is it okay to fire them once .. 🤔

[@KlayCeramics]

Hey!🥰 yes!✨ so once you’ve made and painted your piece it gets bisque fired, then after the first fire is when it can be painted (if you didn’t do it before the first firing) and/or glazed (if you want the glaze finish) and then it needs to be fired again which will give the clay it’s strength.

[@Maryam-qp9hj]

Love your video❤️, May i ask what the number of the stoneware clay you use and which company please?

[@KlayCeramics]

Thank you 🥰 I use Fenix Fine Clay which is a white stoneware, I get it from East Cape Clay and Plaster in Port Elizabeth but the actual clay is from Clay Man. Not sure of the number

[@nihadeakkoyun962]

Hello i loved your work and i'd like to ask something i gonna do a mug for my friend birthday which is tomorrow cant i use just a normal guaj paint for the mug

[@KlayCeramics]

If you are using air dry clay it won't be food safe so can't make useable items such as mugs and bowls etc. - For a mug to be completely food safe you have to use stoneware clay, a food safe glaze, and it needs to be fired properly in a kiln. For air dry projects though you can use normal paint because it won't need to be fired. Hope this helps!

[@madhumathiswaero1004]

Heyy!! At what temperature do we need to fire the cup at both times ? Before colouring and after colouring? And I am not able to find the underglazed colours so can you suggest any other alternative to glaze the cup ?

[@KlayCeramics]

Hi! Bisque fire is at about 1000 degrees Celsius and glaze firing is at about 1200 degrees. For the colour you can also use decorating slip but this will need to be painted on when your piece is at leather hard stage☺️

[@ouahabelhoreicha614]

[@gouicemhiba4394]

Plz wht kind of glaze that is appropriate for feeding ? ^=^

[@sukomansour3503]

Hey! So did you fire it twice (before coloring and galzing and another time after) or one time (colored and glazed directly after being bone dry) ?

[@KlayCeramics]

Hi! I painted it once it was bone dry, bisque fired it, glazed it, and then glaze fired. So it was a double firing☺️

Use stoneware clay, and it's very important to glaze it to seal it and make it food safe. If you want colour/ to paint it, make sure to use underglaze (specific type of paint specifically for ceramics, normal paint will burn off when fired)

Hello! What if I don't have a Kiln where I live? There is no way then of making the mugs?

[@KlayCeramics]

Hey Maria! If you are unable to find a firing service near you then another option is to use air dry or oven-bake clay which will not need a kiln. You can also use normal paint on this type of clay. I'm not too educated about air dry clay but there's a lot of information about it out there. Hope you come right! xx

Hey I was wondering, do you glaze the bottom of the mug?

[@KlayCeramics]

Hey! To be safe I would suggest not under glazing the bottom where it has direct contact with the surface of the shelf, it tends to stick a bit, but it is possible. For the finish glaze DO NOT paint it on the bottom, it will stick to the shelf in the kiln.
