Thanks for the video. Very helpful and it worked well. Three coats/pours gave some nice patterns. Thickness of slip is key - pancake batter is good description.

Randy Brodnax was my Art teacher when I was in High School in Dallas. I still have the 2 Raku pots he helped me create. It was good to him again and I'm glad he still has the love pottery and of teaching! God bless you Mr. Brodnax. H. G. Spruce Apaches '78.

how long do you leave the pot in the can?

Es una pena que no estigui traduït en català ho castella

[@jimtripp7205]

Is there a specific gravity for the slip that works all the time. Seems this would make it simple to keep up with when the slip is correct. Also, have you used the slip in different stages of thickness to get different effects? Impressive.

[@davidshapiro3849]

Great video but it's missing an ingredient from Don's recipe. Add 100 g Alumina (increase if slip falls off). So Don's slip is 5 Hawthorne, 3 EPK, 2 Silica and 1 to 1.5 Alumina. The Riggs's recipe leaves out the silica and uses 2 parts Alumina.

What happens with the slip on the bottom if you don't get it all out? Why do you have to wet the pot? The Briggs don't wet the pieces.

[@lindakopec7036]

Well, that was disappointing! Didn't show how each of them looked finished and cooled!!

[@rqe6654]

At the end is he really setting hot pots next to a fire cabinet?

[@VTSifuSteve]

Why not? What could go wrong?🤣

[@pyronac1]

what are you doing to hydrometers to break them? millions of people use them everyday for many reasons, many of which are in the food industry, yet, i never hear them complain about breaking them nor having to buy them more then once. seems you might want to look at yourself and what you are doing to break them.

[@gamebotzero9274]

They don't give great results for glazes and slips, you are better off weighing to get the SG... it takes but a moment to suck up 100mls and weigh it on a digital scales...

[@sarahmurphy6759]

Are you firing with an electric kiln? Someone mentioned a raku kiln.

Camera Operator: show MORE of what the teacher is doing and LESS of his face so we can learn what he is doing.

Hola! Excelente demostración.Yo en mi alfarería utilizo un densímetro casero.A una funda de aluminio de los puros(cigarros de fumar),en el interior le pongo (bolitas de plomo) y un trozo de algodón,el cual presionó contra las bolitas de plomo.En la funda marco unas señales ,que marcan la densidad de mis esmaltes y los engobes.

[@donnaf.marshall6504]

and do you teach how to use ele .kilns ? i am confused on how the timer and setter work and i am unsure of firing stages! thanks guy.s

[@sunnyhaughey37]
