Lucky you, all those diamond core tools! 😍

[@tricialee5]

Love the ad lib carving!

[@cherylbowman5036]

Just got my diamond core tools, so grateful you made this video. Have a great day!

[@MatthewKellyPottery]

Yay! Enjoy them

❤robin hopper published a book on glazes. Check that also out of the library. Also ceramics monthly has some over the years. Slips are a good way to layer glazes for good effect. Usually they are simple recipes. You might as well get slip recipes from the masters. Make great pottery, Mathew Kelly will teach you the best about forming. Robin Hopper has a slip recipe as well that will also go over bisque. He was voted on of the top ten living potters, by Americans, although he was a Canadian.sadly he passed from Cancer.

These tools are game changers! I absolutely LOVE them!!!

[@sandracartica4932]

It's so much easier to carve when the piece is on a piece of foam and on your lap, but if the bottom is still too soft your better off on the wheel.

[@thelmamatthews5051]

Thank you

[@klaws2719]

I absolutely LOVE everything you do and this video is another cool addition. Thank you for sharing and teaching. I love your sweet spirit.

[@sherigoodremont3823]

Very nice!

[@stephaniekeith3361]

Happy little flowers for happy little pots!

[@rutilopata8294]

Beautiful video! Great carving tools! Thank you for the inspiration, really impressive work✨✨😍

[@Cate7451]

Are you saying that these tools are monumentally better than the regular loop tools. WHY ARE THEY BETTER? ARE THEY SHARPER. DO THEY MAKE CURVES BETTER. DO THEY CAPTURE SMALL MOVMENTS. HAVE YOU DONE A VIDEO ON SLIPS? This is a real interest for me. Maybe do a side by side comparison with regular slip tools. I’m laughing at your confidence and mastery that you would experiment on such a lovely form. I wouldn’t take a chance on such a lovely vase because they are hard for me to make. But in the future I have plans so I’ll let you know how it goes.

[@jimwolfbecerra3804]

Great techniques & love the Rhythm. Good job young man.!! Jim wolf studios.👍

[@indiana600610]

Great job! You have just upped your already fantastic game!!! I can’t wait to see how they come after firing!

[@melissagraham4569]

Love watching the master at work! Beautiful work.

[@jtcpottery]

Another great video, but I was looking forward to your carving with the square tip….

[@genearnold3252]

The pottery whisper, happy little lines, beautiful little dots. I probably stop in next week got some friends coming in from Maryland and they want to visit seagove.

[@janeneh.3093]

You have inspired me to do this also it adds alot to the pieces! Thanks again for sharing your beautiful work and ideas!👍💝👏‼

[@sweet4cakes791]

Omg, I love the Bob Ross reference. Nice. :o)

[@claymazingartworks5682]

Well you did it again❗❤... I live 15 minutes from the factory here in El Cajon. I purchased the 6 piece carving set. I haven't had a chance to use them I've been watching videos. Thanks, your video was perfect timing..❗

[@caroleaton8237]

I’d love some DC tools but I can’t justify the price because I’m not great at any type of artwork on pottery. I’ll keep practicing with my cheap tools! Thanks for another wonderful video..

[@clifforddalton3067]

As a hobby potter I too cannot justify the prices of these tools. I make some of my trimming tools from "hacksaw blades", quite cheap and they do the job :)

[@diananesbitt1260]

I always have the curved look on my bowls and cups when I paint. Yhey were supposed to be straight. Now I can tell my students I meant for it to come out that way! Ha! ! Thanks. I really like your work.

[@desertpotter1003]

Great video, it works to use underglaze instead of slip also.

[@TinyChickPottery]

Supporting you!!! Lovely pot!

[@nigelchouings9227]

Great Video and excellent throwing Thank You for sharing

[@gloriagilpatrick6499]

They are beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

[@SallyRoperPottery]

Never feel you need to apologise for imperfections as these emphasise the fact that the piece is handmade. I have been using DC tools for over a year now and they are fantastic for sgraffito and mishima carving. The jug designs are stunning in their simplicity, looking forward to seeing the finished result, if I can wait that long. Thanks Matt

[@clifforddalton3067]

Magnificent Matt, you really got me going now :) I've used slip but have never tried cutting through! Next time I'm in the studio I will definitely try this method. Thanks for sharing this `inspiring video` with us.

[@sethhenderson8]

Awesome video as always!! Also loving the shirt!

[@ollieg6385]

Lets see them fired and glazed......share dude !

[@MatthewKellyPottery]

Sorry dude, this video is from 3 years ago and that was before I was going live streams of my unloading.

[@donm6578]

Really looking forward to Wood Firing #3

[@n1ch0las51]

Great video thanks > Yes please. I would love to purchase one of your T shirts

[@joanpcloutier5897]

Seeing your use of the DC tools is great, thank you. I’d love to buy a tshirt along w a piece of your pottery. Looking forward to their availability.

[@brucec6442]

Big money tools....Nice !!!

[@maniacmikepepperhead3040]

Do you have any videos about how you make your slip?

[@supergirl460]

Simply in love

[@annejohnson6814]

Lovely

[@Grinder11xx]

I had just recently bought some tools from them too .thanks for sharing Yours came out really nice. I have some "stutter" marks from not carving into it with confidence but thats going away lol

[@crissymurray6176]

HI Matthew, i have been watchin for alittle while now but less then a year but lovin yr work and yr so good coz of yr OCD.. and yr eye for perfection and yr ability to experimental side, to get the best out of clag,slip, tools, clag, firing, glazes etc I am studin yr videos while i am tryin to save to get my own wheel and kilm and i qm tryin to find where i can get good clag coz i want to make my own dinner plates bowls and mugs and kitchen wares..etc so with the slips u r using for colour bases and decorations, is that only clag or have u mixed other things in it..

[@kimbain4368]

Love the carving! That's so pretty. Is there a medium that you can use to practice designs on, like a bar of soap or a chunky candle? This was fun to watch and you did a great job!

[@graykicklighterjonathan-gr7275]

Glad they at least partially sponsored those great tools, otherwise we might have had to get you out of the “doghouse” from spending so much money on new toys, lol! Have fun!

[@sheilacarroll3981]

Well done. Beautiful accents to beautifully thrown pots. Is your white 3D slip something you’ve shared?

[@Cate7451]

❤

[@felixdiaz52]

How many pounds of clay are you using for the tall vases?

[@kellydiver]

Beautiful! I’ve been wanting to try this and actually have a few of the Diamond Core tools, but I don’t know how to make the slip in the traditional colors like you use. Is there a resource with recipes for slip?

[@Cate7451]

John Brett has a site. Different Color’s are made by different clay bodies. You could also add your own colourants like rio or umbrella. Tin for white. I have a book for slips and am hunting out a recipe, also there’s Robin hopper. Answer me back so I can send out a recipe when I find one.

[@shanemilehi]

Did you post a video on results of those carvings? I’m curious

[@MatthewKellyPottery]

I’m sure I did somewhere, they didn’t turn out as I’d hoped. You can see the carving but the color change from raw clay to slip is negligible.

[@Cate7451]

Where is the video of the firing please❤❤❤? I think that I am filling up your comment section

[@priyabratokarmakar5383]

How to buy this product. get link please 🙏

[@priyabratokarmakar5383]

Trimming tools link please

[@brendawiles7459]

Would you share where you get your square batts?

[@Ladonnacontenta]

What are your thoughts re using stained slip vs underglaze in carving?

[@MatthewKellyPottery]

Most underglaze won’t survive at higher temperatures but I think anyone should use what works best for their clay and glaze, etc

[@Ladonnacontenta]

Matthew Kelly Pottery thanks!
