POTTERY JEWELING TECHNIQUE on heart bowls (441

[@skcamerican]

Perfection/precision = machines, to me. These are handmade and lovely. Appreciate your historical inspirations, too.

[@pottersjournal]

I guess some make it work, throwing to a stick always confused me.

[@FedericoBorluzzi]

Wow, I think that's something I've never seen before!

[@pottersjournal]

!7th century English pottery technique. Don't remember you traveling that way.

[@AudreyLynnStudios]

This is so fab, Jeffrey! I am totally going to do this. It's so charming! Thank you for sharing!

[@pottersjournal]

Glad you liked. The countdown to Valentines in on. No worries if you don't make it, I sold most of them last year thorough the summer.

[@AudreyLynnStudios]

@pottersjournal Ah, nice tip! Thanks again! ❤️

[@knightclan4]

Definitely subscribing to your channel Thanks for sharing your knowledge

[@pottersjournal]

Thanks, I'm still trying to master it.

Very nice Jeffrey your heart shaped heart dot decorated bowls, shots and pots. Hope you show us how they look when glazed. The shots are wow! Success at the matket.

[@pottersjournal]

Stop back next week for kiln opening. Here is last years kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJ_RZ2V5h5qamassi=ujt8fpFTuyfXs2dw

Beautiful! I love how the glaze colour changes with the different colours of clay/slip.

[@pottersjournal]

I'll be watching for the hearts carved in your clay. Glazes do good stuff your way too.

[@melrussell7830]

Thank you Jeffrey for reminding me that valentine’s Day is just around the corner, I love the heart bowls, very tasteful as always 😍

[@pottersjournal]

you see a lot of them in the old sgraffito pots too.

[@Mackelsey]

Oh those are just lovely. For the shots with the slip base, how dry was the base when you applied the slip heart?

[@pottersjournal]

Wet as possible. Pre-leatherhard. As i work through a board some may have become early leatherhard stage. Maybe more secrets in last years video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXi2q2qKas9oh5osi=dnV18SyCD0N-HFU3

@@pottersjournal Thank you

[@carolkamaile1967]

I'm sitting here crocheting in tropical Hawaii watching you making pottery on the east coast. Amazing. Our class starts next week, it's been a while since I made a heart shipped anything. Hope you sell out at upcoming events.

[@pottersjournal]

Glad to hear someone is in the warm. You and a friend or two from down New Zealand way. Reminds me i need to make some yarn bowls too.

[@jilltramontano]

it's BEAUTIFUL !

[@pottersjournal]

Thanks, that's what i'm hearing all round. Small and medium, next year I'll go BIG.

[@nutmeg-s3h]

Fabulous technique, wonderful results. And many thanks for tip re-hot water in trailer, must try.

[@pottersjournal]

Glad you caught that, fill and soak. Didn't do it long enough, it's been cold.

[@corryg6403]

Very nice . My neighbor and I run A craft market at our Provincal Park every summer, we have people from all over the world. It is just a small market about 15 vendors but we have great exposure to a large market as 50% of our customer are new each week. So something to think about if there is a park in your area with a market

[@pottersjournal]

O Canada.... Wish I were there. I'm in big trouble if my farm market comes to an end. People love it so much they want to show it to their out-of-town visitors. Every week I Pack up pots for people traveling back north, south, occasional Europe and I think someone did say Phippens last year. I don't expect much from the 2 coming up right outside my door this next month. Do try some ❤pots, they sold through the summer the last one in the fall.

[@corryg6403]

@@pottersjournal I might try your hearts I have the centreing down now on the wheel working on coning maybe a heart bowl today, Not sure you would like Canada right now it has been -40/-50c with the windchill the last week warming up today

[@joycefischer2761]

❤ again thanks lovely work. You’ve given me an idea!!

[@pottersjournal]

The rim is a nice easy TRANSFORMATION ❤

[@penguinista]

It is funny that at 7:17 you say, "If you need a template to make a heart, you probably shouldn't even be doing this." right as you totally screw up the last part of the heart shape. Seems like people can get good at almost anything as long as they take baby steps and keep trying. So, using a template until you can imagine a heart shape is a good idea. I'd be tempted to use water on a light brush to make a heart shaped mark that would disappear as it evaporated, if I was worried my dots would be messed up.

[@pottersjournal]

I show the three I made this day at 15:40 not sure what one it is you think I didn't get what I was going for. My inspiration are the stars of an expanding galaxy. Looking for a more organic softer shape to the heart, symmetry brought back into play then blurred again with placement of the dots, a few large ones here balanced out with a cluster of small there. A templet may lead in quite another direction bringing in the precision of a machinist. Could include a standard spacing and placement for the dots, a stencil used to give them a controlled size. I've seen commercially purchased stamps are very popular with makers today, this way everyone's can be exact. I like mine to be different from others and different from others of mine.

[@penguinista]

@@pottersjournal Look at the time stamp i put in mu comment. You mess up the line you are making right then. It is ironic. If a person trying to copy your technique is having trouble making clean heart shapes a dot at a time, which is easy to understand since everything takes practice, using a template is a good idea. I think the marks on the clay from a template would be a drag, so I suggested drawing a heart using water to make a temporary mark because I think proposing solutions is preferable to telling people they shouldn't be trying something if they can't already do it.

[@pottersjournal]

@@penguinista Although I still don't see what I got wrong at or after 7:17 thanks for thought provoking comments. If using a water mark or template I'm still going to urge the idea it be irregularly shaped but that need not be the individual's way. There is many a sweet lady doing ceramic videos sorry I do try to give mine a bit of an edge.

Beautiful!

You don't have Christmas shows in Nov and Dec?

[@pottersjournal]

Have a farm market that goes through November and 1 show in December. It's hard to get away from my Christmas tree farm those months I make up to 300 wreaths. It's Jan-March that are lacking. and I'm specially in need of some sales.

[@connecticutaggie]

@@pottersjournal Christmas Tree Farm? Are you in Oregon?

[@pottersjournal]

@@connecticutaggie Once had 50 acres in cultivation outside of Pittsburgh. Now it's maybe 5, mostly wreath from stumps that grew back. I do a video every December they can be found on my playlist page.

[@lesselavie7675]

those are very cool....love to see them fired! Ooops sorry, I see them fired in the beginning.

[@pottersjournal]

You know the word, 'stop back next week' and 'see what's in the kiln today'.
