Had to rewind at 18:27 several times because I always heard "The glaze is Botz smokey corpse" 😳. I thought very hard to remember the german designation for this until it finally dawned on me "Rauchquarz" (smokey QUARZ!) 😂.

[@thepotterycorner]

Ohh that made me laugh 😆. Yes - it is SMOKY QUARTZ- really great glaze. Thanks for watching 😊

Hi Sarah your hairdo is nice suits you well 👏 👏 Now the kiln unload, that is a good one, i like all the pieces, so nice to see what your students make. I really would like to see how the finished decoration build from the little bowls turned out ( with a bead or driftwood?) Thank you for your video. 👋 Sheila 🌸

[@patspotpage]

I love the new haircut Sarah! Great kiln load. You have some talented students, and that speaks to your teaching skills as well. Thank you!

[@thepotterycorner]

Thanks so much. Very kind 😊

[@shirleypeterson9496]

Hi Sarah,I'm hoping you are well.havent seen you since last year when you were running away for a weekend with yr lovely hubby and lovely dogs, I do hope to see you back soon and well,cheers from new Zealand,,

[@thepotterycorner]

Hi Shirley and thanks for checking in with me. Life has thrown some curved balls in the form of elderly parents with dementia, the loss of my beloved Cissy unexpectedly and therefore I've been absent for a while. I am hoping to get back to it but am currently trying to find my clay mojo by getting into sculpture. The KZbin content is so time consuming that I just haven;t got the capacity to do very much at present. This will, I am sure, change in the not too distant future and I hope to be able to bring a new side to my work at that stage. I really appreciate your message. Stay tuned! Kind regards Sarah 😊

[@cathysmith5844]

Always love your videos! Learn something every time. I must say I’m happy you mentioned your hair. The first time I came across your KZbin I was struck by your hair. The most glorious head of beautiful silver hair I have ever seen. Your cut is cute…but your long was of fairy tales.

[@thepotterycorner]

Awww that's so kind. My whole family has very thick hair so the long hair just got too much to manage. This short style takes minutes to dry! Thanks for your kind words 😊

[@nancyowings9270]

I always learn so much from you! Thank for for giving such wonderful advice. And love your new cut! It looks great

[@thepotterycorner]

Thanks so much Nancy. It's a bit of a change but soooo much more manageable 😊

[@user-ci1ic7fp6f]

Love your videos! New to glazing and learning so much from you! 🙏

[@bonniejonas5150]

I love what you did with your hair you actually look younger with the hair cut. Awesome❤

Aww thanks so much Bonnie. What a lovely compliment 😊

[@ricardoviamontes1305]

Thanks so much for your kind words. I really appreciate it.

[@momadhis]

Love your new looks

[@lynnenewell6812]

Ah I know all about that having had to look after my Dad when mum had a massive stroke and went into care. Every weekend I drove three hours to seen them, do things for him and check in mums care etc. It went on for five years till they both passed away and during that I also battled breast cancer too. It was a hard road during that time but we do it for love. Take your time and get rest too. It all passes in the end! ❤

[@thepotterycorner]

Thanks Lynne - it is hard but you're so right about doing it for love. ❤️

[@katlady5000]

The new haircut looks great on you. These chicken plates are adorable. Nice kiln opening.

[@thepotterycorner]

Thanks for tuning in again. I'm so lucky to have such talented students 😊

[@melrussell7830]

Ooh I love the chicken on the black clay 👏 I haven’t used black clay for a long time, as it makes a lot of cleaning on the wheel 😩 So hand building is the way to go 😊💚

[@thepotterycorner]

Hi Mel - it was left from an earlier experiment. Can't say that I'm enthralled with it but the scaffitto looks great on it so I might try that myself. Thanks for watching 😊

[@micheledickey4066]

Hello Faith and thanks for joining me. I've been taking a break but hope to be back in the future. Life has thrown a few challenges at me which I'm working through. I'm glad you're enjoying binge watching! 😊

Hi Michele - thanks so much for your message. Just having a bit of a break. It was soooo busy in the studio before Christmas that I haven't had much time to film etc. Hopefully I'll get back to doing more content soon. Wishing you a happy new year 🎉

Hi I’ve missed you and hope all is well? Thinking of you. Lynne NZ

[@thepotterycorner]

Hi Lynne yes, thank you, everything is OK but I am having to give more time to my ageing parents at the moment which is making life a little tricky. I hope to be back soon. Thanks so much for thinking of me and sending a kind message. 😊

[@dianemoore5985]

I love your new hairstyle!! I've also gone short and so much easier to wear. Also, is there a template for the sweet chicken?

[@thepotterycorner]

Hi Diane and thanks for watching. Pip has her template for the chicken. It's a pretty simple outline which you could copy. 😊

[@irishemmap]

I never comment on KZbin (hi from Ireland) but just have to say a huge thank you for your videos. I started pottery as a hobby this year and have learned so much from you. Your channel is my go-to if I have a question I want to look up. Love this, and all, your videos! I also love that your students have their own makers stamps. Can I ask do they make a stamp themselves or have them made somewhere?

[@thepotterycorner]

Aww thanks so much. That's very kind. I'm so pleased to have helped you. Have a look on Etsy for makers stamps- I think my students bought from there. Just make sure you know the size you're ordering as some are so small you can't read them! 😁

[@irishemmap]

Thank you! I'm off to fall down a rabbit hole on Etsy now 😂

[@marciasilviajohnson6461]

😊hi Sarah I hope you are doing well. I don’t see your videos posting anymore. Like I said I hope everything is fine with you and your family. Sending good vibes for you and your family. I’m from Canada, Vancouver I know is far away but if I can help any form, let me know🤗

[@thepotterycorner]

Hi Marcia and thanks for the message. I've taken a rest from KZbin over the last few months. Life has just got too hectic with ageing parents and the support I have to give to them. My father has Alzheimer's which is proving to be very challenging and time consuming. I am hoping to return but just not at the moment. I appreciate the message. Kind regards Sarah

[@marciasilviajohnson6461]

@@thepotterycorner Hi Sarah I know how difficult it is, my Mom just pass away on June 5, very sad, she had the same, it is difficult but at least they are not in pain, just confused. Don’t forget to take care of yourself, lots of hugs for you and your family🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@marciasilviajohnson6461]

Where are you? I hope everything is good with you🤗

[@cochorrorshow1005]

How hard would it be to create a glazed white ceramic rectangular vessel sink for a bathroom vanity? The only people on youtube creating such sinks use concrete, so I'm guessing it's a challenging process without factory equipment..?

[@thepotterycorner]

Hi and thanks for watching. A challenge certainly but not impossible. Some of my students have made sinks by using a former. I might make one if I get to build an extension 🤔 😊

[@1divmstr]

At what temperature do you take your sneaky peek? TYIA

[@thepotterycorner]

Hello and thanks for watching. I am very careful when taking a sneaky Peek not to blast cold air into the kiln. I just release the lid and gently Peek in but not until the kiln is below 100 degrees centigrade. Any hotter and you risk the pots 'pinging ' which is never a good sound 😊

[@elizahorsten4436]

Great thanks. It's always great to get away for a few days. Winchester has lots to see and do. Thanks for tuning in 😊

I've been reading your replies to find out if you are okay. I understand that it probably is a huge amount to work to keep these videos going, but I do miss you terribly. You are absolutely my favorite potter in the whole world! Be kind to yourself and those nasty little kiln cookies! I hope that you get back into making videos again. It's weird how you can become so attached to someone you've never met. Geoffrey

[@thepotterycorner]

Dear Geoffrey. Thank you so much for your lovely message - very kind words and much appreciated. Life seems to have got in the way of filming stuff although I do hope to do some more filming soon. My parents are very elderly and my Dad has Alzheimer['s which has it's challenges! I really miss the KZbin community and my subscribers but something had to give. We're now on summer break so I am hoping to have some time to think about filming again - I certainly got loads to show you. I think I lost my clay mojo when my beloved dog, Cissy, passed away unexpectedly in January but it is slowly coming back in the form of sculpture so I think I will share that journey as a way of explaining why I've been absent. My best wishes to you and look out for more from me hopefully this summer. Kindest regards Sarah

Oh sucks on the pinholes but as primarily a hand builder, that bowl is DIVINE
