Kiln opening! my favorite spectrum! and mayco, amaco and coyote combos. All glaze combos shared.

[@clayphoenix]

What I especially appreciate about your openings is the joy you convey about the process. And you rarely struggle to remember the glaze combos. Such a lovely and generous person.

[@finklepottery704]

Thank you! It is great fun!

[@soulhavenpottery]

Hi Lisa! Love that rootbeer/ww/flux combo, Lovely. I'm trying to catch up on videos. I've missed A LOT, been outta the loop! Great kiln unload, can't wait to try some of the new spectrum glazes especially that ginger, and I can see why you inspired people to use the olive float! OMG I love those black fine line animal transfers...so cute!

[@hobblecreekpottery]

Thank you, Lisa, for the mention. I showed Mikki, and she was surprised and a bit flustered, which was so cute. I've been after her to start her own KZbin channel, and now I think she's going to give it a go. Great combos as always. You've got such a knack with glazes!

[@finklepottery704]

Thanks Tiffanie. Please tell Mikki I look forward to her channel!

[@hobblecreekpottery]

@@finklepottery704 I will. Thanks again for all you do.

[@RedEftDesigns]

@hobblecreekpottery definitely second that! Love mikkis work!

[@micheledickey4066]

As always such a perfect kiln load!! I think the turq lake with Norse blue and olive float is my favorite but I also love the bowl with the yellow and blue!!

[@finklepottery704]

Thanks Michele!

Wow Lisa, I cannot choose a fave! Everything is so great. There's a few new ones there I would like to try! Hey, thanks for that kind shout out! That's pretty nice studio you have behind you, lady. Thanks for sharing, Lisa!

Thank you for sharing all your glazes combinations. I love the snowman plate, I hope you don’t mind I might copy your idea. I made some gingerbread houses with the snowman and was looking for something new.

[@finklepottery704]

Thank you and of course not! I think I was inspired by something I saw on Pinterest. Happy potting!

[@Prairie.Bloom.Pottery]

Thank you for sharing! Always love your combos!

[@finklepottery704]

Thank you!

[@lynnb1226]

Such beautiful combinations! I would love to see you do a glazing video, showing how you do some of the combos, do you do strait lines, or wavy when brushing, etc.

[@finklepottery704]

Thanks and I’ll add to the to do list

[@Shawn_Reid_Pottery]

I’m so impressed with your memory recall ! Thanks for another awesome kiln opening !

[@finklepottery704]

Hi Shawn! If I waited a day or two after glazing to fire I think my memory might fail me lol. Did your new kiln arrive.

You are not alone … there maybe a few kiln opening addicts around! 😂

I guess there is much worse things for us to be addicted to 😂 thanks for watching!

[@walkerpottery9296-Natalie]

Lovely kiln unload Lisa. It’s always fun to see what comes out of your kiln openings. Ideas for that adorable snowman ⛄️ dish: 1st idea. Add a layer all over the sky of Bayou Blue and then a coat or two of Obsidion. 2nd idea. Mix 2 Stroke & Coats: ratio- 1/8 tuxedo black & 7/8 Moody Blue I’d apply 2 coats. I’d love to see how it turns out after you figure out what you’re going to try. I’ve told you before but I’ll say it again. You are a master inventor of glaze combos! Like you, I also appreciate the beauty of bright bold colors… they make you feel all good inside. Hope you’re having a nice fall! 💜 Natalie (from Maryland)

[@finklepottery704]

Some great ideas for the platter. Thanks!

Great Kiln unload!!!! That papaya and frosted turquoise combo!!! Defiantly going to have to try that. Thank you for sharing!!!! I may not always comment but I always hit that Like button .🙂

Great kiln opening, love what your doing with the new spectrum glazes ❤

[@finklepottery704]

Right back at you Kim!

[@anasclayhouse]

Hi Lisa, another great kiln unload! Thanks for the shoutout! There are so many combos that I love. The one with fuzzy peach, papaya and floating turquoise is my new fave also. Loved your snowman platter and I didn’t see the blotchy or very little. I wonder if you use pearl luster over the blue would solve the issue. But I don’t know if it would be food safe. Thanks for sharing!❤

[@finklepottery704]

Thanks Ana! I’m thinking of trying dabs of deep sea. Just to even things out

[@threelittlepotters]

Love that fuzzy Peach, Papaya, and Frosted Turquoise mug!

[@finklepottery704]

Thanks Sarah! I think my favourite from that unload 😊

[@skcamerican]

I’ve blown through a year of your videos in just a few weeks…and now I’m bereft. Lol. Could you possibly put out a new video every 10 minutes? Lol.

With lithium being so expensive… keep an eye out for retiring potters. Our community club has scored some great chemicals from some potters. And yes, Lithium as well!

[@finklepottery704]

Thanks for the tip! Great idea!

I haven't been able to get the new spectrum floating glazes in California and its making me so sad. I find spectrum to run but they are so lovely, and reasonable priced! Jessica Pacifica, Ca.

[@finklepottery704]

They will be worth the wait. I’ve been using them for a while and hands down they are my favourite

[@RedEftDesigns]

Great spectrum combos! I've got that sample pack I've been itching to try but haven't yet had time. So fun to see the ones you've paired together. Have an amazing time in Greece if it all works out 🤞it looks like they reached a deal on time. I think blue hydrangea will definitely spice up your cute snowman platter, either that or night moth but maybe it would be too dark, you could pair it with a lighter blue too.

[@finklepottery704]

Thanks Amanda! Some great suggestions on the platter. I’m leaning towards sponging some deeps sea over it with dabs of blue hydrangeas. Fingers crossed

[@nukuaceramicsbonaire]

Another great one Lisa! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Monique. I hope all is well with you 😊

[@mugnificentpottery]

As far as your snowman plate goes....someone mentioned that they have really good luck with stroke and coat going over glazes...just a thought

[@finklepottery704]

Thanks!

[@wendycummings5182]

Hi Lisa! Thanks for the kiln opening everytrhing's so lovely! Are you using Amaco's Frosted Turquoise? I never get that shade of green when I use it, maybe it's the layering process that pulls out the undertones. I was going to try the combination with the Frosted Turquoise on the top layer and wanted to double check that I have the correct one :-) Thank you!

[@finklepottery704]

Oh I am so bad with names. It is spectrum floating turquoise. Sorry about any confusion.

[@lianaholtochsner]

It says to wear gloves when applying holly green, do you know why? Nice pieces! -Liana

[@finklepottery704]

Hi Liana. I haven’t seen that anywhere. Perhaps they mean if you have a dipping glaze and you are going to put your hands in the bucket?

[@LauraSmith-q6c]

What is the meaning behind PEI girl? Your glazes are amazing. My biggest struggle is getting them to blend instead of having the blunt stop and start lines.

[@finklepottery704]

PEI stands for Prince Edward Island. Some glazes definitely like to blend more than others but I find spectrum glazes to be very fluid

[@carolynreal7657]

What brand rootbeer glaze do you use? My Mayco rootbeer is so dark.
