Wow!! Loved watching your video Jackie. Always wondered how you go about painting and stenciling your pieces. An inspiration to all potters. Thankyou for sharing. Oh and I love that you can paint your landscapes upside down :)

[@Vsmithpots]

Thank you for watching----the upside down gets easier as you work!

Fascinating. I so love your work Jackie. After watching you I want to try.

Many thanks--J

[@sandraleenerts6805]

There was so much to truly appreciate about watching and learning from your video. Watching the process of creation was so engrossing and the fact that mindless chatter was not a part of this video was a real treat. Having the opportunity to concentrate on the application of the colors, cutting and placing the stencils, really, the entire production was mezmerizing. Thank you.

[@Vsmithpots]

Thanks, this video cut out before it was finished so to see the full version watch the next one in my history.

Fascinating. Thanks so much Jackie. Lovely technique 🙂

Wow your detaing is out of this world.

[@shelleydoxtdator753]

Quite the challenge working from front to back - or back to front? Was very interesting, thank you Jackie. I love how free you paint/underglaze them both😊

[@betsylindsay8480]

I enjoyed every second of this. Amazing talent. Thanks for posting.

[@staceymcdonald7979]

I just love your work! It takes extra talent to paint up-side-down!

[@LindaGisla]

Thank you so much for sharing your process of painting and stenciling your wonderful pieces. I enjoyed watching this very much.

Thanks Linda, I hope you had a nice summer in Iceland.

Absolutely fascinating! Thank you so much!

[@WildAcornsArtStudio]

That really is amazing work. Beautiful.

[@ownley]

Been watching these on the kiln openings for a few years now. What a great surprise. These are absolutely amazing. priceless. You both are a huge inspiration. Thank you

[@timmy-xj9vu]

I really enjoyed watching the technics you have.Very beautiful.

[@jania2fangrrl]

Thank you so much for sharing your process. Starting with dark clay and then adding light slip to be masked with stencils is brilliant, as is painting detail over the masked parts. I'm inspired to work with dark clay again (after stopping due to the clean-up involved!) and try this technique myself. Beautiful work!

[@Vsmithpots]

The earthenware clay makes a nice warm ground then the slip helps pop the underglazes so they have some body instead of being like watercolour.

[@TheGotyagood]

I’m speechless, these are beautiful. Such talent..

[@melrussell7830]

Thank you Jackie, it’s so nice to show us how much work goes into your amazing creations 💕 It certainly has inspired me 😊

Merci pour cette vidéo, vôtre travail est magnifique. Bonjour depuis la France

Jackie, finally! Lovely work, thank you Very much for sharing this! Can we have a tour of the upstairs workspace please?

[@noregrets7469]

Wonderful design and beautiful results🌹

[@lynnwilson359]

Jackie, your art work on the bowls remind me of Gwen Frostic (Michigan) in how you depict your surroundings and your feelings for those surroundings in a not so abstract way! Thank you for sharing! I love them and I'm inspired.

[@Vsmithpots]

I'll have to check out Gwen Frostic's work---I'm from Michigan too!

[@lynnwilson359]

@@Vsmithpots She most inspired me from the time I was in High School. I grew up near her home and studio on the Betsie River. You express the love of your surroundings as she did and you bring them to life! I loved your video. Thank you.

[@cyndien5011]

Beautiful and different ❤I enjoy watching all your videos. One day hopefully visit your shop in person, from Arizona. Best of luck to you.

[@artnow2]

Nice work , I wish you all would show pictures of the final piece after the firing. It's like watching a story without the ending.

[@agaj3460]

Thank you for the movie :)

[@jeanninebona6096]

Quel beau travail ! Merci pour cette magnifique démonstration très artistique !

[@lorimarron-benforado2557]

So excited to see this video! Why were you using a yellow slip? Was it Underglaze? I am very confused. Lol. Gorgeous work!!

[@Vsmithpots]

I use a layer of slip over the red clay because the underglaze colours will pop more over a lighter colour. I usually use yellow because I like the warm layer under the next layers but you could use white or even a medium or dark slip but it will affect the layers that follow. So the slip is the first layer then use underglazes on top.

[@connieewanyshyn2761]

@@Vsmithpots if the çlay was a light color would you still use slip as the first layer, or could you just use underglaze?

[@catritz]

Awe-inspiring... Soul-stirring... I'm so glad I found you I would love to hear how you got to where you are now Thanks for being you Thumbs up & subbed p.s. I'd really like to see the whole process from beginning to end... The paint to the glaze - Would help me understand your method of strokes and colour use. It's my understanding the colour of the paint is sometimes very different when glazed

[@Vsmithpots]

Many thanks!

[@evyharman7476]

Amazing work…

[@marionbyrne9765]

Love your beautiful work and hoping you’re staying safe from Fiona!!.✌️❤️

[@dawnh3495]

This was lovely. Is there a place we can see the final results of the inside of the cat bowl please?

[@christinearmstrong6795]

Jas, your peacock is so beautiful. Thank you for the tutorial. Your platters are so flat, did you use weight bags while drying? And do you use Alumina Hydrate on your kiln shelf for the bisque and glaze firing?

[@Vsmithpots]

I bat wash the shelves for all firings and we use small weights to keep our tiles flat.

[@juliaalvarez1168]

[@alimay1011]

I enjoyed this at 1:75 playback speed and it seemed normal

[@evyharman7476]

Good luck with the coming storm

[@Vsmithpots]

Thanks, it is on track to miss us, mostly. Just tropical storm.

[@bonniegarson80]

Thanks. Are your bowls leather hard or fired first? Why do u put a colored slip inside the bowl rather than underglaze? 😃

[@Vsmithpots]

They are soft clay and the slip is cheaper than underglaze

[@cherylross8812]

if you were using white bodied clay would you still coat the base layer with slip?

[@Vsmithpots]

This is Vaughan answering, Jackie likes red clay better and coats with white slip and sometimes yellow slip. The red clay adds depth to the layering of colour. We tried white earthenware clay but it was not working as well.

[@pfosinger]

How and when are you applying the final clear glaze? Thanks for sharing the process. Very inspiring.

[@Vsmithpots]

After the bowls are painted, they are bisque fired to cone 01. Then they are glazed with a clear glaze and fired to cone 04.

[@connieewanyshyn2761]

Couĺd you please tell me why you used the yellow slip before the underglazes?

[@deannak1841]

Ahhh show the palette!!! Plz pretty plz 😂

[@Vsmithpots]

In the next video, the full version, it shows the underglaze numbers. This video cut off before the end for some strange reason.

[@peggymary]

love your style of layering. what brand of underglaze do you use?

[@Vsmithpots]

Mayco, Duncan, Spectrum, amaco.

[@heidifehr4140]

I didn't know that so many layers of underglaze could be put on a piece! Is there a limit, and what are the consequences?

[@Vsmithpots]

No limits, just gets thicker.

[@carrolmoxham2602]

What do you mean by a Duncan cover coat?

[@rachatt6227]

Where can we see the end results

[@Vsmithpots]

In the video after this one in my history. This one cut out early for some strange reason.

[@trinacerk7608]

How do you color your slip please?

[@Vsmithpots]

Mason Stains. The video cuts out near the end so watch the next one in my video timeline for the complete cut.

[@Nrscathy60]

That last comment was for the ad for Fu#$ It Calanders. Sorry Jackie. That ad was insulting and when i commented, i accidentally got on yours. So sorry.😢

[@malikajackson3831]

can you list the underglazes you use, thanks

[@Vsmithpots]

There is a list in the video but I just noticed the video did not download the last 7 minutes. I will repost it tonight and the list is at the end.

[@judykonopka9029]

Could you just leave the stencils in and let them burn out?

[@Vsmithpots]

That would leave an air bubble under the layer of slip or underglaze, you can chisel away the slip or underglaze but that takes longer than removing the stencil.
