You are so welcome!

[@romanchn4742]

can you please make a video how to make a brushable undeglaze

[@bleueyes28]

Wow, such a well informed tutorial; thank you. I only wish you were still producing content, sad face. I jumped onto your website, and your Into the Woods looks absolutely magical; I'm so curious about that process.

[@themis3396]

Very helpful, thank you. Btw, are you speaking with a mask on?

[@xythenjones4263]

Thank you so much! This is exactly what I needed. You mention Flint Silica. When poking around different retailers, they say flint is equivalent to 200 mesh silica. I have a 325 mesh silica- can I use that as a substitute, or does it need to be the larger grain? Thank you!

[@jessicabroad8480]

Flint and silica are 2 different names for the same thing. Your 325 mesh silica should work perfectly. You definitely don't want a larger size.

@@jessicabroad8480 Awesome! Thank you!

Can we add oil and wax resist to the unfired ones to draw on bisquied pieces…?.like potter Katharina Klug whoes work İ like very much? Thanks again.

[@jessicabroad8480]

Yes you can. This is a recipe from Robin Hopper and he mentions doing this. I experimented with wax resist, didn't like the results. I also tried beeswax and linseed oil with better results.

[@jessicabroad8480]

Yes you can. I still haven't worked out the perfect proportions for that. I tried both wax resist and a mixture of beeswax and linseed oil that I poured into drinking straws to form crayons. Neither was very satisfactory. If you come up with a good mix I would love to know it.

Can I add sodium sillicate to make underglazed pencils? i read it on a blog that I need to add sodium silicate? Or it will be fine or better without it? Thankyou for your videos💙

[@jessicabroad8480]

They work just fine without the sodium silicate, but I doubt it would hurt to add it. If you make them with the sodium silicate I would love to know how they turn out.

[@carolzic7837]

Anybody have any luck with the addition of the wax and oil to the mix? Thanks

[@EnjiSetiawan-p6g]

whap happened (white firing ball clay) ?

[@hollinal]

Can you just wet the crayons and reform the point?

[@jessicabroad8480]

The fired pencils would need to be "sharpened " by rubbing the end at an angle on an abrasive surface. The pastels can definitely be wetted to reform a point or a completely new shape.

[@hollinal]

@jessicabroad8480 I meant to say, thanks SO much for this.

Hi, first of all thank you for sharing your precious recipe. You re the best🌟 Is this white firing ball you mean greenware recycle clay? And is that clay slipcasting clay or vacuumed clay? Thank you very much again🙏🎈

[@jessicabroad8480]

Ball Clay is something you purchase in a powdered form. Ball clays or plastic clays are fine grained, highly plastic sedimentary clays, which fire to a light or near white colour. I use OM4 ball clay from Kentucky in this video.
