I’ve been watching your videos nonstop for the last few weeks. Thank you for these videos. Watching them has helped me remember a lot of what I used to know. I’m still struggling with being a beginner again, but it’s so much fun.

These remind me of my grandmother who had rheumatoid arthritis and couldn't lift a cup of tea in a 'regular' weight cup. The lighter porcelain was a lifesaver for her, but finding a good-sized porcelain cup is strangely difficult in regular stores. If you don't mind a cup of tea that's about one third smaller than an ordinary mug it's not a problem but it meant there were quite a few half-finished cups of tea in my granny's because just one cup was never quite enough. Thanks for sharing and congratulations on the rapid growth of your channel!

Thanks Sarah. Glad you like the new glazes. I think there's still some room for experimentation and I certainly need another go at porcelain mugs-I learnt such a lot making these, thankfully the handling was easier than I imagined but the glazing was a bit more punishing, some worked, some didn't.

This was a beautiful video - I'm a bit of a novice potter and have heard people in the studio saying 'chucks' and i (very embarrasingly) didnt know what they meant and just assumed it was using some lumps of clay to attach to the wheel like normal. But I understand now how it is possilbe to trim all the way down the sides!!! thankyou - very helpful for my studio cred, love your work so so much :)

My instructor this semester said she'd look and see if there's any porcelain I can try to use. She also said that I would laugh and cry. If I am successful in making anything, I would love to try some cobalt blue underglaze if we have any, as a sort of nod to the classic look of Asian porcelain
@floriangadsby2 жыл бұрын
She’s right! It’s a pain indeed to work with. Very punishing in comparison to the stoneware I use so be prepared for lots of pots to crack or break. The key is to throw it with porcelain slip and to compress and cone the clay far more than you usually do.

It's interesting to see how you pull your handles after they've been attached. I've always done the bulk of the pulling first and I don't do much to them after attaching them. I'll try it your way next time. Interesting too that you pulled handles again on the pottery programme on TV.

Are there materials besides iron oxide that would respond better in a reduction atmosphere on porcelain specifically in comparison to your stoneware clay? With the latter, there's plenty of oxygen within the stone body that it contributes its own alchemy to the glazes in a way that the porcelain seems to miss.

Find a community center where you can take a course. Having other potters around you makes for a lovely interchange. You may start with throwing, but it’s also a great idea to try some hand building - i.e., pinching, coil building, and slabs. When you do hand building, you are almost always end up with a piece. As a beginning thrower, I would often have a whole session where I could get nothing centered at all! Good luck.
