วีดีโอ

I am very happy to see this video, that you have worked through some of the creativity and direction of Your art. Keeping the items that sell and most importantly making the pieces that you can get excited about, keeping the art alive. Having some of the materials disappear you like working with will force seeking new ones that may expand your pottery. Every new experience changes the direction even if unpredictable at first. Started out teaching preschoolers and must love teaching children and now teaching children pottery, how much better can it get. One change that you probably didn’t see the direction it would take. Thank you for the update and I know you will work everything out.

Thanks

If one buys cone 6 bisque and glaze it you have NO control over how it has been bisque fired. I never had trouble with it until I did. Do you recommend refiring bisque to make sure it's had a chance to fire out impurities? I've gotten pin holes around the rim like you did! I like using holds and have had some good results. I've ruined some kiln shelves and boy that is expensive but I got smart and bought some flower pot bottoms at Loews. So far so good.

How did I not know you had a TH-cam channel? I need to start paying attention!

Great music choice

Wow, happy for you finishing the book, congratulations. That’s a big undertaking completed. And maybe a new direction on how you perceive your art. Maybe from one of the many different perspectives a piece of writing can be looked at and made into pottery/sculpture. As always looking forward to the outcome.

Hello, I am from Morocco. I want to buy gold water. Please, if you know a company that sells it.

Very nice! Just joined and like your pieces! Hard work with the kick wheel😊 respect 🎉

Ah this looks so fun, I've always wanted to go to a ren faire

That kick wheel looks like a tough leg workout! 🤣 Fun weekend!

what an adventurous time! hope you sold a lot

God info, thank you!

If you don’t mind a cone 06 red clay, try Jonnie’s red from New Mexico Clay in Albuquerque. It’s also known as APS red clay. Fires a really nice red in oxidation and throws clean and smooth

That's the new kiln and with an upgraded controller! They are very easy to program and will save time. Sorry everything was so drawn out and happy for you.

Hope you are happy with your new clay! I hate it when they discontinue clay that you love. The sellers often refer to some other clay, supposed to be the closest to the old, but still it is far from the one you're used to. Cheers from Finland!

Oh wow! I just had this recommended to me and I have never seen anything like this before. What is that speckled stuff that turns into stars!! 🤩

So appreciate your sharing and vulnerability. Of course as life changes, things come and things go. Proud of you sharing your faith and struggles. Praying God guides you and we know he will. What's that old saying, when one door closes, he opens a window. Keep looking up. As long as your gaining continued happiness from it. You know the sad old adage of the starving artists. If your dependent on this for your livelihood and things aren't going well you may want to consider a change, but if it's more for personal enjoyment. Just let it come to you. Sometimes the struggles are good, stretching us, possibly taking us in new directions 👍🙏🤔 Thanks again for sharing🙏❤️👍👍

Thanks for sharing. My girlfriend is looking into getting a wheel and found this one for sale. Great, great job.

Thanks so much for sharing your review 👍👍

Is the premium gold way shinier than the other gold they offer?

thank you, i've been looking for advice on how to fix pinholes and this is perfect!

Thanking for letting us listen. I don’t thank any artist stays completely comfortably in there work and at some point struggles. The harder the struggle the more spiritual growth we have. Sorry, so cliché. Have full confidence you will be better and look forward to seeing the next artist in you.

It’s good to share and be open when things are transitional, especially as a lot of artists just show the ‘pretty aesthetic’. I don’t know if you’ve read The Artist’s Way, but since doing daily morning pages, I’ve become so much more inspired and motivated by my hectic creative brain, and sitting with my thoughts and ideas and scribbling can really help bring those ideas through. Whether it’s the universe or a god, something is telling you that something is coming, so I’m excited to see where you go. You got this Annie, reach out if you ever just want to sit and chat. You have us any time 🫶

Thanks for sharing the “messy middle”. I love the behind the scenes/ artist process perspective. Sad news about your favorite clay 😢 Glad you are committed to finding a way forward!

Can you do a video to avoid crazing pls. I love your explanation here and seem to be getting crazing specifically with Coyote glaze.

Is it an artistic choice that your glaze is always so thick ? I tend to see this problem with a lot of "young" potters, but you're experienced, so I was wondering.

What kiln are you using

Thank you for alleviating my concerns about refiring our pieces haha My daughter and i have just gotten into clay and our glaze application was less than perfect 🤣

Aww that seemed like such fun, intense haha but fun!

Hi! If you use bat systems, does it make it sit above the splash pan? I use a combination of studio pro bats and the dirty girl system. Thank you!

Pottery throw down sounds like fun, hope you have lots of it and sure you will do well. A children’s class! more fun. Your nail polish color would be a nice highlight color on those cups🙂

Beautiful!

Good

Very nice colors used, really like them. Being a potter understand how disappointing it can be to have glaze poor off your pieces. Take joy in the work that did come out.

Glad to hear that the writing will be in smaller steps. Trying to figure out a trilogy with all the facets and depth as you were doing would be overwhelming daunting. A character has many things that surround there life and place in time. And without even thinking about it a clay creation may come to mind. Wish you the best on your journey. Waiting for the next steps.

🥰 Hello and Happy Wednesday to you my friend You are looking very happy these days I want to say you do an amazing job on your channel 🎉 Love your channel and sending Hugs from Florida 🤗🤗💋💋

I love trimming!! I would say its my favorite part, but I really love every part 😂 wedging, throwing, cleaning up, trimming, glazing, all of it brings so much joy!

They turned out so cute, I’ve never tried throwing off the hump, but when I start potting again in spring I’ll have a go, didn’t realise how effective these tiny cups can look! Thanks for sharing, take care xx

These are so sweet!! They turned out beautifully. That light bluish glaze with the yellow speckles is STUNNING!!!

Very nice ! Your mica inclusions into terra sig created a potassium rich sig , so in reduction you got attic black Ancient Greek pots 🤓👍 nice video ! Thanks for sharing

For the difficulties removing the wheelhead, try brushing a little anti-seize grease or "waterproof" bicycle grease or oil on the mounting point for the head. Anti-seize will last a long time between applications, and so will, say, Paul's Waterproof bicycle grease, NFS (Need For Speed) bicycle chain lubricant, and Silca Synergetic and Synerg-e chain lubes. All are made for high tenacity and water resistance, and will prevent corrosion if you clean off any that's already occurred before you apply them. Personally, I'd use anti-seize because it's cheap, available at every hardware store and auto shop, lasts seemingly forever, and is super effective. It won't make it slippery between the metal surfaces, though, so it won't facilitate easier removal like the others. If Skutt advises against the use of lubricants, you might check with them regarding anti-seize. It's formulated specifically not to affect manufacturing tolerances and applied torques.

I would like to ask, if Raku burning process happens when the clay is dry after a week or wet?

Like your pottery and blog. Thank you for sharing

Watching you at the studio is very peaceful (I am sure the audio added to it) Thanks for sharing 😊

To help the wheel head from getting hard to take off Skutt says to use a little grease. I flip the head over and put grease where the pins go and the shaft area. Haven’t had any problems and the wheel is over two years old. Thank you for the review.

Thank you for shown use and the inspiration, have not seen this technique before and looks like lots of possibilities using it. Appreciate the research. Very talented.

A standing ovation for this brilliance!

beautiful, what do you use to burn?

I’m glad for you making this move bringing both your loves/arts together. Looking forward to seeing the creations.

This is Raku ?
