Pottery kiln opening with Santa's, angels and spice jars!

Christmas time is busy! In between orders I am trying my best to make more smaller items for the Christmas market on Bonaire!
I hope you enjoy this video, let me know what you think! I always love to hear from this amazing pottery community! Questions are welcome too!
Happy potting,
Monique
If you are a KZbinr too, I know you know, how much work it is to create these videos. I would appreciate every little (or larger) donation to help me keep the videos coming. Especially because I cannot monetize my You tube channel because I happen to live on Bonaire.
Here's a link for donations by Ko Fi, who btw, do not take anything from donations! I would appreciate you buying me a coffee! Thank you!!!

Such a great kiln opening! Is there a Santa video coming? ❤

[@marciasilviajohnson6461]

Monique how you make the tulips stay on the wood with not sliding down? I love the Gnome’s Santa, maybe a video how to?😁🤗

[@nukuaceramicsbonaire]

Hi Marcia! The tulips are not completely hollow, that's how. I will be making a video of them so stay tuned!

[@corryg6403]

Love the gnomes well the whole kiln thanks for sharing , hope the beer was cold

[@nukuaceramicsbonaire]

Thanks Corry! Yes, the beer was cold and quickly gone! 🤣

[@themousehousepottery2724]

Great video Monique! i had my eye on your cacti ring holders. ive made small cacti but i find them very hard. i ended up modifying the insert on my extruder for the main stem to try to speed the process up. do you slip cast any items. yours look great

[@nukuaceramicsbonaire]

Thanks! My cacti ring holders are very simply made... a circle cur out with a cookie cutter, lifted up a sort of rim. Rolled coils and stuck them on, that's it. Ow, and a little carving when leather hard. I do not slip cast at all.

[@heididerksen8227]

I'm no pro but I was told to use gum solution for thick glaze to thim it down Ive tried it on some of my glazes that were thick. I have oatmeal from Amazon and mayco and they are both super thick so I'm going to try some on mine.

[@nukuaceramicsbonaire]

Thanks for the tip! I will try that next time.

@@nukuaceramicsbonaire your welcome and I'm just new at all this and learning as I go

[@nukuaceramicsbonaire]

@@heididerksen8227 I am also still learning, in ceramics that never stops. 😉

[@heididerksen8227]

@@nukuaceramicsbonaire I know had a few miserable bisque fires but think I've got it going good again. Yes that's what I love about ceramic always learning new stuff all the time. And how to figure out problems too.

[@juliebarsky6761]

Is there room for another Potter on Bonaire? I would love to retire there.

[@nukuaceramicsbonaire]

Noooo! I want to be the only one! 😄Just kidding😄 It could be fun, we could collaborate and flood the island with beautiful ceramics!

[@gigimarquart4906]

What cone do you fire to?

[@nukuaceramicsbonaire]

I go for cone 5,5 / 6.
