Me encanta esa técnica. Hermosa. Supongo que ese revestimiento tiene silicato de sodio y que más?

[@patriciashoneceramics]

🙏 It is porcelain engobe, a little sodium silicate on the surface. 😊

[@patriciashoneceramics]

Try ebay or google ‘wooden ball on a stick’ or make your own! 😃

[@juliefrisch1524]

Thank you for sharing. i love your work. what do you call that tool that you use (the rolling pin looking thing that is fatter in one end)? :) thank you !

[@patriciashoneceramics]

Thank you Julie. The tool is a traditional Scottish potato masher - tattie basher. I also use other similar things, different shapes and sizes.

[@sashawhitehead7378]

excellent , thanks for sharing

[@dilanperisan4663]

which kind of clay and glaze did you use? The part on the top is an underglaze or just an another clay?

[@patriciashoneceramics]

Oops! I’m sorry it’s taken me a year to check the comments 😬. The clay is heavily grogged, mostly hand building bodies. I use a white slip on the surface, 50/50 porcelain/clay seived

[@RainbowyogisAu]

Such stunning work. Do you apply some sort of glaze at the end to something like this?

[@patriciashoneceramics]

Sorry for not answering sooner 🙄 I usually glaze the interior. Very occasionally an oribe green glaze if I am doing an oxidation firing. The wood firing produces its own glaze of sorts.

[@papypayo]

quel est le produit que vous mettez sur la terre svp ? merci et superbe travail

[@adalgizamatosbatista8566]

De que es el revestimiento blanco que le coloca a la arcilla roja?

[@patriciashoneceramics]

It’s a porcelain engobe

[@chrisgudgeon5635]

Fantastico!

[@johannaGomes]

Patricia Shone !! OMG ... What a wonderful job you do !! I am in a WOWWW process, watching your job !! I would like to learn from you someday !! Clapsss clapssss Can you explain to me if you use Sodium Silicate after using Engobe and dry it for to have the effect of partitions or portions ? Congratulations .. Wonderful !!!Love all your peaces on your website !!!❤❤❤

[@patriciashoneceramics]

😃 thank you, glad you enjoyed the video. I do use sodium silicate in small amounts, drying it very quickly with a hot air gun.Most of the texturing comes from the surface treatment. I hope you have some fun trying out the techniques. Best wishes

[@fredpinto7542]

Sensacional!! Belo

[@gamezrosalba]

Are you applying slip only? Or a mix of?????? Thank you in advance

[@patriciashoneceramics]

The slip is a 50/50 mix of porcelain and sieved hand building clay. Little bir of sodium silicate on thw surface

[@katiakatiakat]

This is so so beautiful! I’m a bit new to the pottery world and would like to try this! Could you please share a link of the tool you used to burrow your way through the mound? It looks like it’d be hard and requires persistence :) Also did you only use a slip and porcelain engobe on the outside. I thought maybe an oxide it looks so rustic. I don’t know how to make engobe. Can slip work the same way? You should teach a workshop! 💕 thank you 🙏🏽

[@patriciashoneceramics]

hi Katia, it’s a solid wooden basher. I try to stretch the clay fully without removing much, muscles develop! I have a photo on my website www.patriciashone.co.uk/my-processes/

[@katiakatiakat]

@@patriciashoneceramics Thank you for the info. I checked out your website and blown away and in love with your work. Wow!! I sure would love to learn from you someday

Thank you for sharing : )

[@veravico3627]

Did you a kohiki slip for your forest bowl?

[@patriciashoneceramics]

I guess it may be similar to kohiki. It’s 50/50 porcelain/clay seived to remove any grog.

Yes! (Sorry for the 10 month delay to reply! )

[@nanfrydland4040]

I love your work! Where do you get the big wooden tools?

[@patriciashoneceramics]

Hi Nan, thank you 😊 most of them are old fashioned potato mashers, known here as tattie bashers. One of them is a Chinese pottery tool (the big flat sided dark wood one) Best place to go would be to a wood turner. There’s images of my tools on my Instagram 20 Feb 2020

[@CK-gs2mh]

unfortunately one can't see how you get this wooden stick into the bunch of clay or do you take clay out before?... would be interesting... Beautiful work

[@patriciashoneceramics]

Sumply push a small stick into the middle of the lump of clay. Work it around to make the hole larger, then move onto progressively larger sticks.

[@chompers11]

WOW incredible video, so many tricks in it.Quick question, is the initial wooden tool you used for the inside hollow? Like are you coring it out before pushing it in? Or is that just a solid piece of wood to start shaping the inside? it doesn't seem like you remove much from the inside. Thanks so much for the video its so helpful

[@patriciashoneceramics]

Hi there, it’s a solid wooden basher and a solid lump of clay. I try to stretch the clay fully without removing much. Hope that helps, sorry for the delay replying.

Very new to this is it fired

[@patriciashoneceramics]

Gas or wood fired once it’s finished, sometimes an interior glaze.

[@annewatkis5824]

Clever but not my taste

[@susanpriem1739]

Why not just throw it on the wheel, it’s faster and less work……..

[@patriciashoneceramics]

Well I’m not the best thrower and I don’t want the spiralling that that would create and the clay tends to slump downward with the centrifugal forces and it’s too wet a process and you can’t get the texture all over and and …

[@susanpriem1739]

It’s very beautiful and I can see why your process works so well. Sodium silicate and slip works well but you don’t have as much control. I love the way your slip areas look like birch trees blowing in the wind.

[@OLDASTUPPERWARE]

I get the feeling that being a Forest Bowl is about being handbuilt in thoughtful ways with humble woodsy tools; not having a highly symmetrical form; avoiding spirals and 'shingling'; and resembling the namesake.

[@patriciashoneceramics]

@@OLDASTUPPERWARE It comes more naturally to me as a process than throwing does, and I prefer the slowness of it. But every now and then I do a bit of throwing to get some energy back into my relationship with the clay.
