I'm really enjoying your videos. I have plans to get back to pottery after a 10 year hiatus and your work is inspiring me,. Thanks so much for sharing ☺️

[@WatajimaPottery]

Thank you so much! I’m happy to hear that you start pottery again.

[@C-M-E]

Thank you for sharing your beautiful techniques! I'm not out to rob them, as I'm more in material development but love to learn anything that interests me, which is presently global pottery and ceramics as art versus industrial use. Love the channel thus far and I'm looking forward to seeing what else you create!

[@WatajimaPottery]

Thank you for watching. I hope to continue creating various videos in the future.

정말이지 멋진 무늬를 가지고 있는 아름다운 접시의 모양입니다. 포면의 마감처리부터 각 꼭짓점의 날카로움까지 고려하여 제단하는 모습이 굉장히 멋진거 같습니다. 이러한 멋진 공예품을 볼 수 있어서 너무나 영광입니다.

[@WatajimaPottery]

Thank you so much !!

綿島さんお久しぶりです。窯大の後輩歩です。 この豆皿、里帰りの時に武雄の観光案内で見つけて、金の上絵入をオーストラリアに持って帰ってきました! 偶然動画を発見して、 佐賀の自然と四季が音や風景で感じれて、とっても素敵な 動画ですね❤ もちろん勉強にもなります🙏 タタラ使ってみます!!!!切った後に、しばらく乾燥させるのですね!! ありがとうございます✨

[@WatajimaPottery]

お久しぶりです！ お元気そうで何よりです。豆皿、ありがとうございました。また、武雄の風景や作陶を発信していきたいと思います！連絡してくれて嬉しいです。

[@tougeinao]

たたら作りはいつも歪んでしまって苦手なのでとても参考になりました！✨ 底に切れ込みを入れるローラーがとても便利そうです😳カッターか何かで真似してみます。 詳しい解説付きですごく勉強になります。ありがとうございます🙇‍♀️

Oh.. Nao nice to see that you also like Watajima sans videos. They are so helpfull! (and he is also like flowers like us!😄) I am always wonder what kind of flower inka i could made but i didn`t get a good idea!🤔See you soo....

[@KayChandler-xp1gs]

Loving your work, I have subscribed and enjoyed watching your videos. I checked out your website but all your pieces have sold, will keep looking for next items for sale. Do you post to Australia? I see you have a cover over your wooden stamps. Is this a piece of latex glove? Or something else? To stop stamp from sticking to clay?

[@WatajimaPottery]

Thank you so much. I'm glad that you enjoy watching. Yes, the skin is a latex sheet that prevents clay from sticking to the stamp. I am sorry that most of the items are sold out. I will try to restock some products as soon as possible. And yes, I ship them to Australia.

[@Andrea-bu3vn]

Dear Watajima san, thank you again for this very well made video! These small plates are truly beautifull! The water repellent solution...does it have some kind of name or near description? Here in germany we use some kind of wax but it`s difficult to apply.😑 And the white flower are just wonderful! I must say it again...i am always loving the small glimps into the nature of your backyard and the mountain view!☺

[@WatajimaPottery]

Thank you so much! I'm also enjoying working in nature and feeling every season comes and goes. I use “CP-E2” which is oil-based water-repellent. It’s easy to use because It soak well into the biscue firing pottery. Hope you can find it or similar product.

[@Andrea-bu3vn]

@@WatajimaPottery Feeling every season sounds really lovely.🙂 I live in a big city and i am often feel cut of from nature. I would love to live on the countryside but it`s hard to find a proper job. Maybe when i retire i can move a little bit more into nature. That`s something i am looking forward to. Until then i have to admire Watajima sans beautiful home.😄

[@wygtam]

What is the purpose of the water repellant solution?

[@Andrea-bu3vn]

@@wygtam Dear Wygtam the part of the pottery where water repellant was added will not be soak with glaze. So you can dipp a whole piece in the glaze without cleaning the bottom later.🙂

[@sergioMarti1968]

@@wygtam tambien puedes ponerle una capa de cera aunque es mas costoso despues quitarla

[@emmapuppylover3051]

so beautiful😍

[@WatajimaPottery]

Thank you!

[@fundymud]

Watajima, Fundy Mud Pottery from Atlantic Canada, stop by for tea. I'm so impressed with your kiln and need to build one. Do you know where I can buy those electrical elements that can do reduction?

[@WatajimaPottery]

Thank you. I purchased an electric kiln from a manufacturer called "Nihon Densan Sinpo" in Japan.

[@fundymud]

@@WatajimaPottery thank you!

[@bh8597]

Superb work .. May we know what brand , model no and manufacturer of your kiln that allows you both reduction gas on an electric kiln. Thank you very much from India, Solly Benjamin

[@chelseaandhobbes]

Can we purchase the ash glaze? It’s beautiful ❤

[@marcplanellsjuan5200]

Hello! Amazing ! One question, where Can I buy similar patterns os chrysantemum? Thank you very much

[@WatajimaPottery]

Thank you again! I make all of my stamps by myself, so I’m not sure when you can buy those..

[@cypherwithnobrim]

do you make the inka stamps and if not where do you get them from

[@WatajimaPottery]

Hi. I make all inka stamps by myself.

[@user-wl4cg7of3q]

木の型は、市販のものですか？ 作り方も完成品も素敵で見惚れてしまいます🥹

[@WatajimaPottery]

ご視聴ありがとうございます！使っている木型は、市販の木のお皿を使っています。 自分で作るときもあります。

[@user-wl4cg7of3q]

ありがとうございます！ 私も見つけてみます^_^ これからも動画を楽しみにしています♪

[@et5571]

化粧土は素焼き後ですか？同じような物を作ってみたいと思っています　よろしくお願いします

[@WatajimaPottery]

ご視聴ありがとうございます。 化粧土は素焼きの後にしております。

[@ffalbalaa]

bonjour , j'adore votre émail noir. pouvez vous me dire si il est mat ou brillant. merci pour vos vidéos

[@WatajimaPottery]

Merci. C'est un émail qui est proche du mat, mais qui a également de la brillance. Thank you. This glaze is close to matte, but it also has a glossiness to it.

[@Randomiz500]

Wauw 😮 ❤

[@user-wl4cg7of3q]

8:35辺りの白化粧土ですが、もしやらずに釉薬をかけた場合、お花の模様はどうなりますか？

[@WatajimaPottery]

白化粧しない場合は印花のところに釉薬がたまり、それも面白いと思います。流れやすい釉薬ですと、もっと面白い表現になると思います。いろいろと試験してみると良いと思います。

[@user-wl4cg7of3q]

ありがとうございます！やってみます！

[@yatpottery9727]

Where do the stamps come from?

[@WatajimaPottery]

Thank you for your comment. I made all the stamps by myself.
