[@MatthewKellyPottery]

Thank you. Hello neighbor.

[@UsernamesForDummies]

Those pieces are all stunning. Especially the copper red with the purple! My goodness! I love the blue ones with the swirls - look like leopard print.

[@jda8409]

Love your blue glaze in your cups! Are you willing to share the recipe? Its amazing to see all the beautiful hard work you do. There is more to it than just throwing pots. Lord Bless you and your work Matthew!

[@MatthewKellyPottery]

I may be willing to share. Which blue are you referring to?

[@jda8409]

Hi Matthew thanks for getting back to me. The Blue glaze inside you cups is the one i was referring to.

[@clifforddalton3067]

[@healingsprings11]

Those bowls are gorgeous. Love the last bowl. Wow 👌 That was a successful firing 🎉🎆🎇🎇🎆🎉

[@MatthewKellyPottery]

Thanks!

[@eddiespottery8439]

Very nice Matt, I really like the way the Red is working for you. Eddiespottery.

[@brucec6442]

On a grade of 1 to 10 I'd say that kiln is a 11 ! You're "drip down" is epic especially on that copper red bottle. Lots of beautiful stuff out of that kiln. Congrats !!!!

[@MatthewKellyPottery]

Thanks!

[@sheilam4964]

I liked this vid, all of it, every part of it from the moments that were sped up and the moments that weren't. Making the perfect vid so we could see the individual pieces and not have to endure repitition through the multiples pieces. Viewing each piece was like opening a present. I know. I didn't make them. So how could I feel so connected to them? Something similar to you, their creator? I don't know. But I do. Loved seeing most of the creation of these pieces from the beginning to the end. Thanks.

[@MatthewKellyPottery]

You’re very welcome! I’m glad you feel so connected.

[@cindynewcomb7139]

Love those peacock bowls!😱

[@ClownWhisper]

This is me new favorite channel

[@MatthewKellyPottery]

Thank you. I'm glad you really like the content.

[@ClownWhisper]

@@MatthewKellyPottery no problem I love your techniques great Channel just fantastic. They always called me a prodigy when I was a young kid in Junior College throwing and I waited 30 years to get back into it and it came back to me in just a few hours. I'm able to pull up a pound of clay about 12in probably within the first three days not bragging well maybe I'm bragging LOL I've just been so beat down by a medical condition that I have to have something to be proud off LOL

[@toniledford328]

Holy Cow Matthew! I love, love, love those peacock platters. I didn't see you make them. What video was that on? And I am crazy about that ash glaze. Did you show how you make that? Man, I wish I lived closer so I could watch you work.

[@cpnotill9264]

Thanks for sharing and those peacock bowls are beautiful! 💖 So much work! 👍Could you show us one of personal favorite pieces you've made? 😁

[@MatthewKellyPottery]

Yes I’ll try to remember to show a couple in an upcoming video.

[@frankhott179]

Matthew, I love your videos and look forward to many many more. What is that creamy brown clay you’re using? Looks as if it has no grog? I love that you experiment….without experiment there is no greater beauty! Thanks very much!

[@MatthewKellyPottery]

I am currently using Hestia from Highwater. Sorry for the delayed response.

[@kmiklaszewski]

Everything is beautiful. Have you every glazed any pieces in a way and then fired the pieces upside down?? I’m curious how the glaze would run and dip especially on pieces with roundness And or curves. Might be a great couple of videos for you to do.

[@MatthewKellyPottery]

I have not fired any upside down yet. I’ll consider that. Thanks.

[@hazlox]

Nice work! Looks like you really have your glaze process down. Can you do a video about your firing process and method? I’m looking to get a gas kiln going. Just looking for more individual flavors of firing with gas. Do you use an oxygen probe. What type of burners. Up or down draft and why. Firing schedule etc...? Thanks for all the Videos! Are you in the seagrove area?

[@MatthewKellyPottery]

I am in Seagrove. I’ll definitely consider doing a video on the firing process. Thanks for the questions.

[@ClownWhisper]

Are you using alberta slip with rutile as a layer on some of these. Sure looks like it

[@freddiemoretti8456]

GREAT!

[@FatJesus1911]

I like how you built your kiln, do you have plans and or a materials cost list you'd be willing to share?

[@MatthewKellyPottery]

I don’t have plans or parts list but I’d be happy to help with questions. Email me for more detailed questions if you have any.

[@ryanwerkheiser3112]

Hi, I just found your channel and have been enjoying you videos. Do you use bottle glazed for your red and white glazes or do you use your own recipe?

[@MatthewKellyPottery]

Sorry for the delayed response. I mix all of my own glazes.

[@lindaking8035]

Can you add a link to the video where you glazed the peacock platters? They are gorgeous!

[@MatthewKellyPottery]

I don’t think I videoed that part of the glazing. I’ll consider that next time. Thank you.

[@raquelasandino5825]

Just finished kiln firing class here at PNW in Seattle. What are the components of the door?

[@SetGozo]

Great

[@danielpeters5087]

Hey Matthew, How do you finish the edges of your stamps? ( stars & states ) Do you stamp them out one at a time? Was the glass, grounds or just small pieces? Thanks from Florida, Dan

[@MatthewKellyPottery]

I let the ornaments dry and then run a needle tool around the edge. I used to sponge them. Either one works. The glass I buy in sheets from hobby lobby and then cut into little squares.

[@potteryworks]

Again Beautiful peacock bowls tops nice and the bottom as just nice. Do you sell online? Or just at your studio. I missed you last time We wseagrove

[@MatthewKellyPottery]

I don’t sell online yet, but if you see anything in a video that you like just let me know.

[@potteryworks]

Matthew Kelly Pottery please send me info on the red peacock bowls definitely toasted bottoms. Couple pics [e-mail] thanks

[@sheilacarroll3981]

I need to buy new shelves, can you tell me the shelve company? Congrats on great firing i

[@MatthewKellyPottery]

I believe that Saint Gobain makes the advancer shelves and they are sold through Smith Sharpe at kilnshelf.com

[@sheilacarroll3981]

Thanks so much. We built our own propane kiln firing at 9,500 feet elevation. Last piece of the puzzle new shelves. Love watching your progress

[@MrCherod]

Did you build your gas kiln?

[@MatthewKellyPottery]

I bought it but it is “homemade” sorry for the delayed response.

[@ClownWhisper]

I've lost all of my glaze recipes!!! I'm sunk

[@sheilacarroll3981]

Did you say 012 or cone 12

[@MatthewKellyPottery]

Cone 012 is the first cone when I start reduction.

[@ksagame9289]

what are cone packs?

[@MatthewKellyPottery]

Those are pyrometric cones that melt at specific temperatures so we know when the kiln is finished.

[@bloomfieldbaber2834]

What are the dimensions of your gas kiln?

[@MatthewKellyPottery]

I’ll have to measure when I get home but roughly 32” deep, 40” wide and 48” tall

[@ClownWhisper]

Okay on the red vase you said you spray purple so I don't think you are doing what I think you were doing if that makes sense. You can get that exact same effect with the purple ish if you use 100% Alberta slip and makes about 5% rutile in that's it and if anybody wants to try this at cone 6 Electric simply add 20% Ferro frit 3134 a little milk just perfectly at cone 6 and you'll get a bluish purple haze that is just awesome couldn't be easier

[@MatthewKellyPottery]

thanks for the tip, I may give that a try eventually. Cheers

[@ClownWhisper]

@@MatthewKellyPottery I try probably 7% at cone 10 to match or at least mimic what you get from your spray. I just love your Channel no gimmicks just good tips. I think I'm going to build I'm outside cone 10 kill I really don't know what kind of gas I need to use to get the cone 10 I imagine even propane would do that? Or natural gas? A paragraph I'm extremely sick I don't work anymore so when I say I build memes I'm I will Design and have someone else build a big killing for me. Hopefully I will get better than I am now I am no longer considered terminal I kind of be an unbeatable condition. Any tips you can give me a good plans or directions would be a big help.

[@williamnhawkins]

You should checl out my pottery teacher who does gas/elec fire mix he call it flash fire Terry Hutchison in Oregon

[@MatthewKellyPottery]

There are some local potters doing the same. I’ll check him out though.
