I like the tip of using a heat gun to firm up before removing from the hump - next time I'm going to try it as it seems I always make a mess. 👍🏼

[@avermontlife]

May I ask, what is the gauge and material of the wire that you are using to hold up your ornaments? I have used nitride but it slumps at high fire. Thank you.

[@caldervanandel]

I'm sorry, I'm not sure what material it is, I got it at my local pottery shop in The Netherlands: www.silexshop.nl/product/staaf-metaal-diam-2x300-mm-1250c/

[@shelleydoxtdator753]

Beautiful!!! The thick wire you used to hang - what gauge (I think that’s the strength) is it?

[@caldervanandel]

Thank you! I have actually no idea😅 It's a kanthal wire with a diameter of 4mm

[@oksanabear]

amazing. what kind of metal stick is that you hang them on?

[@caldervanandel]

Thank you! It's a thick kanthal wire😊

[@oksanabear]

@@caldervanandel thank you king!

[@karapotter6843]

Great video as usual! Thank you! Question - how heavy are they? any tips on making sure that it doesn't get too heavy and thick?

[@caldervanandel]

Thank you!! I didn't weigh them, but my tree is strong enough😅 To make them light it is important to throw as thin as possible. And I would also recommend to trim as much clay as you can. If you struggle with throwing thin you could also trim both sides of the ball.

[@juliegarthwaiteclark168]

what kind of metal is that you are hanging the ornaments on in the kiln??

[@caldervanandel]

It's a kanthal wire with a diameter of 4mm :)

[@jamiethompson4289]

Thank you@@caldervanandel I am having a hard time finding a supplier in the US. Do you have a link to where you purchased the rod?
