KILN OPENING tests & brushed glaze STUDIO UPDATE (372)

[@barbarac4138]

I would work on the brushing skill. Also, thanks for showing your journal book at the beginning of the year. I have been keeping one for the first time. It is helping a lot.

[@pottersjournal]

Thank you so much. I do that video at the turn of each year, although they don't get a lot of attention, but it is so much what I do and who I am. I think Tammy Jo ''Hobby Potter's'' is so organized. There is so much organization in the chaos of mine too. I could elaborate on its many aspects but briefly rely on it for technical practicalities, artistic and creative advancement, motivation. Years ago, it was a watercolor journal, a pottery journal then a sculptor's journal. I did not think of a name for a KZbin channel, it was like righting my name. It's how my dreams and plots and plans come to life.

Some amazing looking pottery came out of that kiln. Nice job man!

[@OurHealthyLifestyleTips]

As always, they are gorgeous

[@hobblecreekpottery]

Dipping ALWAYS for the win! I hate brushing too. Beautiful test results.

[@pottersjournal]

You got it. There is no easy way out. One try and I'm tossing the brush.

[@hobblecreekpottery]

@@pottersjournal I try my best to dip everything, and then I go and make fairyhouses. Lol, I'm my own worst enemy.

[@pottersjournal]

@@hobblecreekpottery How boring it would be, to not be, all over the place.

[@hobblecreekpottery]

@@pottersjournal lol, yes!

[@pottersjournal]

@@hobblecreekpottery Did I say all over the place. It all has a unified look in video of your booth.

Your slip trailing just gets better and better. Just got home from class, been making lidded jars. Have a great week.

[@pottersjournal]

Glad to hear your school sessions got goen. Getten better? These ones is just for practice.

[@patspotpage]

Great kiln unloading Jeff! Congrats!

[@pottersjournal]

I could have had a theme for this video. I'd like to re load the kiln and unload again elaborating on the continued story of the saga of the poticnica, nut roll pan. I'll put over a day into photographing for selection, corresponding, packing, shipping just two bowl. Still so rewarding as they both share my passion for this cultural identity pot.

[@BrokenArrowPottery]

Great batch! Love the slip trailing!

[@pottersjournal]

Me too.

[@MRC11221]

I like the wavy items. I need to learn how to make bowls like yours.

[@pottersjournal]

I just put my playlist for them on my KZbin home page there are a few other potters there too. I will have to do this video again someday; it was one of my first and I hardly recognize myself. Also, it was my first try of what I'd seen others do as a 'flower bowl'. I'm now doing my own, what I call a 'wavy bowl', or could be called scalloped. To get into it you have to do more than one. Last time I did 25, over a year supply, so sorry, I won't be demoing again soon. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3zUoIOrpa-IatUsi=LVhtcLLBwSv0COzS

Jojo will be reading Mabel Watts and other classics soon 🙂

[@pottersjournal]

illustrations in the old kids' books outstanding. great for sgraffito adaptions.

[@shelleydoxtdator753]

I love your chip/dip platter - can you show how you glazed it? Please and thx

[@pottersjournal]

Shelley. I'm so sorry to say I can't point to an old video of mine. It is a job and will be some time before I do it again. I put it off and put it off, then say, I just gotta do it. I've used a number of methods and when finished I can't believe it really happened, saying, if only I had the camera on. I can only say I explained it at the end of this bad video (following link) using a big tub and a smooth move in one side, fully submerged and out the other, then dot or brush on glaze where fingers touched. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3XadYt-nbdnZtksi=t8p8cV0DUvYQTuq6 Why am I sorry to say this? I never saw a subscriber list like yours before, the similarities. I watch many, change and keep some subscriptions, some of mine are KZbin relations. Amazing to see Refika's, A-Petitti, Depression, Chef Jeffrey from Soul was my first, Bastianich. Now Proven Winners, so much excitement but so much is advertising hype. Timsee and Gadsby I've tried to watch a full 2 or 3 but didn't catch my interest. Only thing I didn't see was, and I've been there, Turkish Food Travel and, but he's from my Pittsburgh, Learn Your Land. Never saw potters journal before with so very many of my favorites. Thanks, Jeff.

[@AdriansPotteryArt]

you need some of that medium that makes your glaze thick and brushable

[@pottersjournal]

oh, interesting, didn't know there was such a thing. i did a seminar-demo for teachers like yourself on dipping over brushing years ago. i don't think i sold anyone on the idea and realized the brush was simpler for classroom set ups. i'm still anti brush (topic for future video) but if i could get it right there are times it would be quick and simpler for me too.

[@AdriansPotteryArt]

yes, the brush is good for kids and big kids too :)
