My Thin Lined Pattern Carving

A video of my thin lined carving process! I had to speed up a bit of it to stay within time 🥲 I may post a longer extended version on KZbin at some point. It was a lot tougher to video this than I had expected! I want to mention that I don't normally allow carvings to fall on the floor! I always carve into a bowl to prevent dusty clay messes. It was just too difficult while videoing 😳 so don't @ me 😂😵
Carving tool: Diamond Core P1 Curved V Tip with added XL Foam Grip (egg shape)
Clay: Kentuck Mudworks' Brown Bear stoneware

I actually managed to buy one of your cups last time! It was your test cup with all the different colors on it. I think it looks like a cool dragon egg!

[@KaiCeramicsOfficial]

Wow, thank you! That cup was so fun! I'm glad you like it 😊

[@sharyukasbe6663]

I also want to buy a cup, how can I buy that?

[@KaiCeramicsOfficial]

Thank you! Glad I could help. The clay is a stoneware by Kentucky Mudworks called Brown Bear. I fire to cone 6 😊

Love this!

[@heidithepotter2479]

Your design is beautiful! What tool are you using? I love how it has that big grip, it seems to give more control, is that it's purpose?

[@Emily-ci6vc]

i’m not sure what the carving tool is, but the grip part is just a pencil grip you can get at any store and put on any of your tools :)

[@joutatheegg]

Very beautiful mug

[@redstarcat43]

I think it was because of the colour of the cup, I legitimately thought it was made of chocolate only for a split second😂 Ik it's not chocolate, and it looks amazing

[@idrawsometimes9372]

[@the_sockdolager]

I thought this was chocolate. Good job 👍

[@MattPhonee]

Funny that you say that, this stage is actually just before a stage called "chocolate hard"...

[@auditoryrythms873]

what a beautifully carved piece! may I ask , at what point after so many hours drying do you begin to carve?

[@KaiCeramicsOfficial]

Thank you 💜 I usually like carving during the wetter side of leatherhard. It's hard to put an exact number of hours on drying time, since everyone's environment is different and thickness and whatnot. Usually once the piece is not sticky and leaving fingerprints and not as maliable when handling it. If it's crunchy, it's too dry! I hope this helps 😊

[@m1cky170]

I wish I could practice with clay again (took a college class) unfortunately I live in an apartment so I have no place to fire them

[@StonedReactions]

Oven?

[@sandrasaunt6441]

Hi, Awesome Carving, please can you tell me the exact "name, number and make" of the tool you used to do the fine Carving on your mug, thank you.

[@gothicanimegirl44]

It's beautiful but wouldn't it be uncomfortable to hold?

[@aidilaoqie1742]

Eventhough it will be hell to clean up the dust in every crook, I will purchase it anyway

[@CrochetBox]

Hi, what type of clay are you using please? It somehow looks diff. And of awesome quality. 👌

[@rebeccasmith4057]

What if you filled that with different colored slips and then sanded it that would be amazing edit: also I've never seen that grip for a tool before where did you get it? That looks incredibly useful especially for my poor muscle control/ weakness

[@KaiCeramicsOfficial]

Slips could be fun with carving! For now, I really like how my glazes break over the texture. The grip is from Diamond Core Tools! It is sold separately, so you dont have to buy the tool.

[@rebeccasmith4057]

@@KaiCeramicsOfficial yeah I checked them out it's super nice! The pooling is gorgeous. My second thought was worry about my hands if I were to hold it, are those peaks sharp after firing or does the glaze break the difference in the levels? Either way it's beautiful work and I'd love to see some crystalline glaze on there. And thank you for the grip recommendation! Good to know it can fit on most tools. Edit: I forgot to provide context, my hands are very sensitive due to health issues so my concern about it being sharp isnt a criticism but a concern haha

[@KaiCeramicsOfficial]

@@rebeccasmith4057 I always soften down any harsh edges (including the feet) so that there is no chance of that. As for my thin lined carving, I sponge the tops of the crisp lines down (I think I show it in the video with a brush? Not sure 😅) so that they are not sharp even before glazing. After glazing, they are quite dull to the touch. You can still feel the texture, but it is not harsh. I try my best to make sure not to hurt anyone with my work!

[@rebeccasmith4057]

@@KaiCeramicsOfficial I use a paint brush typically bc it helps me be more precise in softening edges. I can be heavy handed with a sponge and tend to mess up my lines and shapes so the paint brush prevents that. I find your work very enchanting, especially after glazing. keep it up!

[@rebeccasmith4057]

@@KaiCeramicsOfficial I am more of a sculptor myself, perhaps people would like to see my process too. Ik I find every step so satisfying and just so enjoyable that it's spiritual for me

[@wolfen8622]

Beautiful but if this vessel is meant for drinking I would leave at least a spot blank on the outside where u can rest your lips on. Otherwise drinking from it will be a struggle 😉 Looks beautiful tho ❤

[@KaiCeramicsOfficial]

Glaze fills the texture. The surface isn't left bare. I have a few carved like this for myself and have no trouble drinking from them 😊

[@loveyourself9017]

Out of curiosity, what do you call this tool you're using? Lovely work !

[@Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuummm]

Hmm yeah, I think I understand now why artists are prone to getting carpal tunnel; this must've taken hours.

[@Doyskito]

can you do this after crafting your pot or you have to let it rest or dry before craving into it ?

[@nonyanae2]

Can they go in the dishwasher?

[@acceldown]

Wait so what's this thing made from? It looks a lot like some kind of rubber but I feel like it could be clay too I'm confused(btw it looks great)

[@KaiCeramicsOfficial]

It is very smooth clay! 😊

[@acceldown]

@@KaiCeramicsOfficial I see I've never seen clay like that before it's really cool

[@taurusfiend5836]

Are you able to get some sort of clear resin to coat the outside to fill the crevices? Im just thinking it would be kind of hard to clean and scrubbing it could damage the ceramic? Tell me if im wrong.

[@KaiCeramicsOfficial]

Yes, this is just showing the carving stage. I fully finish my work with glaze. The glaze will fill in the carving gaps. You can check out my finished work on my Instagram 😁 @kaiceramics

[@MarkCJackman]

Went to your shop to get some of you incredible art, but everything said "out of stock"... 😢 Hope you're okay and can restock soon. ❤️ 💜 💙

[@KaiCeramicsOfficial]

Yes, I'm okay! My last sale was about 6 weeks ago and every is sold from that one. My next sale is actually coming up this Saturday and the 2nd 😊

Is it what is called leather hard?

May I ask what you call the nub you add on your scraffito tool? I'd like to get something like that!

[@lisabroussardjanuska7681]

Look up Diamind Core. They sell them.

[@rrrr4372]

What happens when you make a mistake making patterns?

[@KaiCeramicsOfficial]

I usually just go with it. I don't usually have an exact pattern planned out beforehand anyways. I do mess up a lot, though! But I like it. Adds a bit of chaos and makes the piece more unique and adds a challenge to make it look... natural 🙃

[@_Alex_Video_]

How do you wash this mug? What about a toothbrush?

[@KaiCeramicsOfficial]

Glaze will fill in the gaps in the thin carvings. No need for special cleaning! I have finished work on mt instagram if you want to see how the glaze looks.

[@brendawolfe5915]

What annoys me the most on these videos is when they don’t show the finished product glazed.

[@Moon-kw9tj]

Achei q era ovo de páscoa:(

[@brighterthansunshine4355]

What's the green thing for?

[@KaiCeramicsOfficial]

Do you mean the grip on the tool? It's just to help hold the tool better in my hands. The tool is rather skinny like a pencil. When you are using the tool all day on your work, your hand will start to hurt a bit. The grip helps with that!

[@brighterthansunshine4355]

@@KaiCeramicsOfficial thanks!

[@dashalonmarrs1490]

Imagine cleaning that thing

If you mean the gaps in the carvings, they will fill with glaze. So won't be so hard to clean!
