Making soup cups - Part 2 - Slipping, Firing, Glazing - Mishima Pottery Technique

I am a professional potter from Saga, Japan.
My specialty is Karatsu style "Mishima" technique.
I made two videos to introduce how to make soup cups.
In part 2, I apply white slip and glaze, fire the cups, and apply gold lustre as finishing touch.

ありがとうございます。化粧土の役割り、なまがけ？したらヒビが入るのがはいりませんでしたね、この動画で作品また脱帽🙆

このスープカップ　以前購入して　朝　スープやカフェオーレを楽しんでいます。 ほんとに　ものすごい時間と細かい作業工程の賜物なんですね。 朝　あわただしい時間の中でこのカップで飲む一杯のドリンクに　つかの間の安らぎを感じてます。

Your work is wonderful! I am so intrigued by your mica luster technique. In searching for mica powder on line I see so many different kinds, some of which are plastic. Would you mind sharing the precise kind of powder you use and the name of the supplier? I’m in Mexico, so need an international company. Thank you very much!

[@WatajimaPottery]

Sorry for the late reply. I buy the mica pigment in a local store, and they didn't sell them online. I found something similar on Amazon, but it's a liquid paint type and I've never tried it before. Hope it helps. www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B086DBNBD5/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_4X8EGD4KFMR1HBJC5FC0

Thank you for a lovely video showing your technique. Can you explain the slip you apply after the bisque firing before applying the glaze. Is it the same slip you applied before the bisque. Thank you

[@WatajimaPottery]

Thank you for your comment. Yes. The slip I use after the bisque is basically the same, just slightly thinner.

@@WatajimaPottery thank you so much for your answer…

Hi again ^^ Your last respond with a link sent me her. I watch it and of course i have several new fresh questions ^o^ : - i found so much different gold mica powder, did you test some before or can you recomand me one specific? - It seem that you use water to disolve the mica gold powder is it right? - Wich temperature did you used after the gold application, you precised low temperature , but i remember on an another of your video something like 800°C but i'm not sure. Again really thank you, you are very inspiring. ^^

[@WatajimaPottery]

Thank you very much. Yes, I am dissolving mica powder in water. I buy it from a local pottery store, so I haven't tried the materials used in your area, but I hope you can find the materials that suit you. This video also covers firing temperatures. Please take a look. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bmHQqIOerZ6afpYsi=r9Q8rxqydNAeO26E

[@micass3561]

These are beautiful! What temperature do you fire the mica luster. I’ve never seen that before! これらは美しいです！ 雲母の光沢はどの温度で焼成しますか。 今まで見たことがない！

[@WatajimaPottery]

Thank you! I fired them at 800-850℃(1472-1562°F). I hope it will help your work.

[@micass3561]

@@WatajimaPottery thank you so much. Do you just mix it with water?

[@WatajimaPottery]

Yes! Just a water.

素敵な動画ありがとうございます！ 一つ質問させていただければと思いますが、内側の白化粧土は素焼きの前に塗られましたが、外側の白化粧土はなぜ素焼きの後に塗るのでしょうか？タイミングの違いに何か理由があるのでしょうか？

[@WatajimaPottery]

ご視聴ありがとうございます。外側の化粧土は模様が細かく、柔らかい時に施すと模様が潰れることがあるので素焼きしてから化粧土を施してます。
