The Science of Salt Glaze Pottery: Science on the SPOT - QUEST North Carolina

[@lavarnacorn]

Nice shot of the dog. I could tell he was really being patient waiting for that clay to dry.

[@eddiespottery8439]

Very nice I like your dad's and granddads pieces.

[@mipueblo7042]

How much salt and what type did you use and pour into the fire? Excellent video, thanks.

[@ClashBluelight]

normal table salt. and as a great instructor once said "add until you think it's good, then add a bit more, then your done." basically for things like this, add a bit more than you're comfortable with. i'm not a potter myself, but have spoken to some good ones.

Beautiful work, starting a salt glaze wheel class Monday, I'm so excited, this video is great!

[@AppliedCryogenics]

Does this glaze withstand boiling water?

[@AstoundingYeti]

An amazing process, but at 4:25 he explains why it's no longer allowed for industrial ceramics producers. Vaporizing the salt just sends highly toxic chlorine gas directly into the atmosphere

[@CJG1419]

Wow really beautiful!

[@cherrenergy]

So it's the salt that creates the glossy finish?

[@ohvnaq]

oooh that's a lot of black unburnt smoke from the chimney! anyway great video, thank you!

[@garethbaus5471]

Definitely would be good for the air quality to add a catylitic converter to that chimney.

[@justinreed1388]

Would love to visit this place!

[@sarcasmo57]

Fascinating.

[@bushiseshin]

how long and what temperature does vitrification take?

[@rhickford7333]

bushiseshin 1300-1320 °c. I think around a 2 day firing perhaps.

[@aienatu]

cool!

[@u.s.militia7682]

I wonder how it was discovered that salt would cling to pottery in a molten state? Probably in an accidental fire.

[@Burrito_Baby]

It's believed that it was discovered when they reused salt covered wood from old brine barrels was for firing pottery

[@sindarpeacheyeisacommie8688]

That was utter fluff. Not one bit of really useful info anywhere in it about salt glazing pottery. It was about that guy. Typical. And Disappointing.

[@starcreaminess]

first thumb up

[@willemh3319]
