Really loved watching the process in both Panderfly videos. I watched it with my 9 year old daughter who is interested in sculpture. I wanted to show her an example of building an armature and your tutorial was great. Also, I'm glad you showed your process for fixing something that breaks. Bouncing back from a mistake is a learning lesson that even old folks like me can learn from. Bravo and beautiful work. You have some lucky students to have a teacher like you.

This piece turned out so beautifully, and I also just wanted to tell you that this was a perfect video to share with my perfectionist middle school daughter about the importance of persistence in art- she gets so frustrated by every small mistake and wants to give up. Since kids are programmed to believe everyone other than their parents, Imma just park her in front of this video instead of wasting my breath, lol. Also, re the broken wing, I sculpt a lot with paper clay and I’ve occasionally gotten away with using a small amount of paper clay to make repairs like this on regular bisque ware. Seems to work better when I use cotton linters than when I use flax. I use it to make armatures for really thin porcelain sculptures that I don’t want to have to cut apart and remove the armature as well. Just don’t let the teenagers actually build anything with the paper clay because then they’ll never learn good habits- it lets you break alllllll the rules. 😂😂

Oh my goodness, your daughter and I would be BFFs 🤣. It seriously took every ounce of hope I could squeeze out of my soul to carry on with this work! And every brush stroke I made after that wing cracked off was dipped in despair! But that’s the awesome thing about being a teacher, you can’t give up when 17 kids ask about your Panderfly everyday! Somehow you just have to keep on going, for no other reason but setting the example of progress and solving mistakes. Thanks for watching and for encouraging our youth to persevere!

OMG I absolutely love this project!!! Thank you so much for sharing it so thoroughly - it is amazing. May I ask you a couple of questions??? - Why do you fire it before AND after underglaze?? So far, I have seen underglaze being applied to greenware and then fired on the bisque fire OR applied on bisque and fired together with the glaze, so I'm really curious about it! - Which is the matte glaze you are using?? I have only found milky ones so far, that I won't like to apply over underglazes, for sure... I would also appreciate if yo can share a nice shinny one to use with underglazes too, since I'm looking for both at the moment - I think we don't have as many option in UK though. Thanks again!
@rheahalona Жыл бұрын
I would love answers to these two questions as well!
@MissLinneaLark Жыл бұрын
1. Underglaze can go on greenware or on bisqueware. But whichever you choose you must fire the underglaze before applying glaze. This is because underglaze is made of clay. When clay and underglazes go through the firing they release gasses and other crud in the firing. If glaze (liquid glass) is on top of the clay when it is releasing those gasses, in the initial firing, they get trapped under the glaze and result in bubbles and glass shards. The reason I choose to usually fire my work before underglazing it is because, especially with sculpture, you have to frequently handle the piece to reach all the hard to reach areas. The piece is INCREDIBLY fragile before a bisque firing. I did not want to break off the tail or wings handling my piece before it was ceramic. The other reason is because I have noticed that "shivering" is more likely to happen when you apply underglaze to greenware. This shouldn't happen if you have good clay... but sometimes it does. Shivering is when the underglaze detaches from your piece and chips off. 2. Clear glazes: I use low fire clay and glazes as I fire at 05-04. My preferred brand is Amaco. Here is the clear gloss I use: www.dickblick.com/items/amaco-lead-free-clear-transparent-glaze-liquid-gallon-transparent/ And the clear matt I use: www.dickblick.com/items/amaco-lead-free-matt-glaze-gallon-transparent-matte-transparent/ In my experience, clear gloss glazes are pretty easy. Maybe a little on the thin side... I always use 4 coats to their recommended 3 coats. But always super consistent. This clear matt and other matt glazes seem to be more temperamental. It is the most needy of all my glazes. I use distilled water and an emersion blender to keep it the consistency of pancake batter. This is crucial. And I sieve it EVERYTIME, before I use it. Make sure you only use 3 coats. If it goes on thick it fires cloudy white instead of clear. Talk about disappointing. If I am glazing 3D areas where the glaze puddles or pools I apply the glaze and then immediately use a clean brush to mop up the excess glaze that wants to stick in the corners. This glaze is a primadonna, but I think it's worth it. I had never had weird shivering or other firing issues with our clays and glazes until the pandemic. I read that there were shortages on minerals and such and so some of the clays and maybe the other supplies were changing their recipes... I don't know what the culprit is, but there has been cracking and shivering in recent years that I have never encountered before. I am hoping this works it's self out... but in the meantime I need to do some more research. GOOD LUCK!

Hi Susy, thanks for the kind words 💕. I think the draw in the mono print is that it gives it a rustic or weathered look. Everyone prolly has different reasons that they like it, it is also considerably easier to paint on a flat surface. But the thing I like about it is how rough and imperfect it is. It has a draw of its own. Hope that helps.

I'm curious how u would remove the paper from the tail and limbs. It seems like it would b difficult to reach from where u showed u would cut the sculpture open to remove from the body. Also, I'm not a fan of having to cut a sculpture to remove fill (paper) or hollow out because I always struggle to get rid of the seam when I reattach. Any advice there? Thanks so much for the videos! Such a beautiful piece and a fantastic tutorial!! 😊
@MissLinneaLark2 жыл бұрын
You can cut each part apart, take out the paper and then put it all back like a puzzle. It can be tedious. When putting parts back together, you might need to slip and score on some thickness to the insides of the walls so that they can stick back together and let that set up a bit. They score both side really deep. Put slip on one side and score that again. Squish and rock the 2 parts back together. Clean up the joining. You will still see a seam. Then score the seam widely. It should already be pretty wet but u can also add more slip. Roll out a coil about the width of a pencil, give or take. Score the coil and then squish it into the seam. Now your seam is less like a valley and more like a hill. Use your serrated rib to scratch and sand down the hill until it’s flush with the walls. Use a metal rib or rubber rib to smooth out all the serrated score marks until it is smooth. It’s best to do all this when the clay is soft leather hard. Hard enough to keep its shape. But wet enough that you will be able to smooth out the serrated parts. I hope that helps! Good luck!
