Happy Homesteading & Pottery Works
United States
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 3 ก.ค. 2020
Friends, thank you so much for being here with us on this journey called life.
We are Matt & Molly and live an interesting and fun (at least to us 😂) life in the woods of New Hampshire, USA.
We left the hustle and bustle in MA in 2017 to live a quieter life & become debt free, which we have accomplished after years of being in the rat race! Matt built our home with his very own hands and continues to expand the homestead as we grow and evolve.
Molly loves to make pottery and teach ceramics in her spare time, although real estate has been her main gig for almost 20 years. She has always had the entrepreneurial spirit and loves people.
Matt does SO many things like construction, gardening, bee keeping, and even bracelet making! He’s passionate about balancing this modern day life with some of the more wholesome older ways of living. We both have a ton of fun growing and preserving lots of our own food. Also, tending to our chickens, ducks, parrot, and our pack of 6 amazing dogs!

How I used my CRICUT for pottery! Mandala plate design demo-Mistakes included 😆 PART ONE
✨In this video, I go through the process of navigating the cricut design center (beginner style 😂 as this was my fist time using my cricut for pottery)to first select the design, then set up a cricut mat, and finally apply the vinyl adhesive before loading the mat into the machine. When the mat is completed and design is cut, I weed out the parts that i want removed and apply the vinyl to a handmade pottery plate delicately using transfer tape. Sounds confusing but it’s really not! Think of it as a giant sticker stencil being applied to a piece of pottery, for really cool glazing effects!
✨This is part one. Part 2 will be uploaded shortly showing the glazing process with results! This is one of my favorites!!! Although it was a long tedious process, i am working on a faster more efficient solution!

It’s awesome but does it have to be mayco brand?
@@mervebkm9197 not at all!! You can play around with different glazes and get really cool effects! But if you are looking for runny glazes, make sure to use those in combination! You can get a ton of ideas on fb groups of glaze combinations- there’s an Amaco one, Mayco, spectrum etc… or just experiment and have fun with what you have 😊
Hi, idk anything about pottery but I have access to a kiln & glaze and I want to change the design of an already glazed ocarina (clay flute) I have. There are raised flowers on it that I want to sand down and cover up with glaze, or after sanding, maybe paint a design with acrylic and cover that with clear glaze. Do you think that could maybe work? Idk what cone the ocarina was originally fired at, would that be a problem? Any ideas or advice would be appreciated 🙏
@@OcaReyna hey! That’s a great idea but you really need to know which clay body you’re dealing with because they fire to different temperatures and you would use different glazes for that clay body. Like some clay is high fire and some is low fire, in which case you would use high fire or low fire glazes. For example, somehow I ended up with low fire clay and put it In the kiln with my high fire pieces and the whole pot melted all over the place! So, if you could find out which clay body it is then I think I could help from there!
@@thehappyhomesteadnh Thanks for the quick reply! I found out that it's low fire. Actually though, I figured out I can dremel the glaze off so that's what I'll do and reglaze the empty clay. Do you think acrylic under clear glaze would work though? I don't want it to explode or anything 😅
Can you reuse the mandala?
@@suestern4642 yes! BUT because this was so intricate, and I got super frustrated 😆, some of the lines split when I peeled it off. Like it came off in pieces. You would have to take ur time and be patient getting it off. Other designs are way easier to remove in one piece. Hope this helps!
Full moon 🌕 graces you under her light. You see she reflects back to you how beautiful you are. ❤
Hi I just found the video, I would like to re glaze some small pieces that are with transparent glaze and painted with engobe, just have a questions if this would be food save? I guess yes because of the temperatures in the oven, but still nice to ask
@@Muérganaceramics hi 👋!!! Yes should be fine as long as the glaze for the re fire is food safe 😊
Thanks for doing this video. V informative ! Which Cricut machine are you using ? (Trying to decide which model to get)
@@maithilirao667 you’re welcome!! It took me like 6 months to put together 😂 I bought the cricut explore 3 but there are other ones that you can get without all the extra crap that I probably didn’t need for pottery. Also, there’s a group on fb called die cutters I think 🤔 if you search “cricut for pottery” there’s so much info in that group! That’s where I learned about the oracle vinyl etc…plus tons of cool ideas from other potters with a cricut!
thanks! Have had a cricket starring at me for over a year! time to try it again
@@pamdorneman888 hahahaha I totally get it!! Once u dig in, you will love it!!! It’s a whole new level of fun 🤩
Try baby wipes to clean the mat.
@@pamdorneman888 oh good idea!!! Thanks!
Try using normal or less grippy transfer tape
@@shirleysayer1748 yes!!! Lesson learned on that one 😆
Very cool! Thanks!
@@Heartwing37 thank you!!!!!!!!!
Sooo cool, thank you 😊 I’ve been curious about Cricut with pottery
Your observation of a straight piece vs a curved piece with the honeyflux, TT and AJ at the rim, was so helpful. Thank you.
@@janecowdrey I’m so glad!!!! You’re welcome ☺️
Hq! I was wondering how you did this.
😆 always have tricks up my sleeve somewhere!
I love your very educational videos! And your calming demeanor!❤
@@MyMazyCat awwwwwww thank you so much ✨❤️❤️❤️!!!! That means a lot 😘
So intelligent and such a happy birdie - would love to see more of its antics😊
@@maryhowarth8382 hahaha she sure does have some crazy antics 😆 ok I’ll post!!!!
Thank you for sharing your awesume glaze combos.
@@fionabryant2311 aw you are so welcome!!!
love those glaze combos😊
@@ECBurt thank you so much!!!!
Your combinations are marvelous. I’m currently having to fire at an outside pottery. They fire to cone six. I throw white stone wear. Have tried to recreate some of the combos I’ve seen, and they don’t usually come out the same. Frustrated, because I love the art of glazing on my pottery art. Thanks for sharing.
@@betsykanteles4533 aw thank you so much! Hmmmm maybe I can help figure it out..which combos have you tried and what did they come out like? Also, when in doubt..I go a little more heavy handed on the inside of pieces!
❤❤❤ I love ❤️ you guys! I wish I had done it 40 years ago when I wanted to.
We love you too!!! ❤️❤️❤️

At footage 24:34, on the beautiful Genie bottle, what is the glaze in the turquoise part?
@@CeeJayKay hiiiii..the turquoise part is actually seaweed by amaco but it’s layered a little bit over ancient copper by amaco, which made it more turquoise-ish than seaweed 😊
@@thehappyhomesteadnh Amazing!! And beautiful!!!❤❤❤
@@CeeJayKay aw thanks!!!!! 😘 ❤️❤️
I can’t find Spectrum glazes. Where do you buy yours from? And it looked like your posts were nice and wide, like 2 inches wide maybe? Where did you buy those?
@@CeeJayKay I buy spectrum glazes usually from the dickblick.com or Bailey pottery or any pottery supply stores online that carry it! Sometimes I have to shop around to see which one has the glazes I want. The kiln posts I got from Portland pottery which is my closest pottery supply house where I go to pick up clay. They have a store in Massachusetts and Maine. Hope that helps!
@@CeeJayKay also you can Google search “spectrum glazes for sale” and a bunch of sites will pop up that carry it!
@@thehappyhomesteadnh ok. Thankyou so much. 👍🏻
@@CeeJayKay anytime!!
It looks like a paw print, I love it. <3

What do I think? I say it's a success! Summer in NH-- memories of raising my family: the lilac, my gardens, orchards, Concord CC and then the fall canning and the incense of autumn. Idyllic!

@@vickiestadler4388 yay! You’re so welcome Vickie 😘 thank you!
Great pottery. The bowl was beautiful especially the inside, I couldn’t see any crawling. But you need to “hold still” so the viewer can see the beautiful glazes you work so hard on. Don’t keep going in and out. A persons gets dizzy trying to follow you. You’re not afraid to show us up close your work. Keep up the good work.
@@cjbrostrom7294 thank you! Appreciate the feedback on holding still. Will keep that up front next time 😊
Love small spoon rest, we add drop hold to 2100 then to 1900 a d helped alot on tbe pinholes
@@JoesphBarron thanks! Oh good to know…appreciate the info!
Hi there! What firing schedule did u use for these please? I usually have blisters or pinholes on my spectrum glazes. Do you have a drophold? Thank you so much! :)
@@poly_morphling hiiiii!! I fire to a cone 6 with a slow cool schedule…I used bmix with no grog. Which clay body are you using? Also I find less coats of some spectrum glazes are better. Like 2 heavy coats instead of 3 might help!

Oh Molly, so sorry to hear about your fur babies. 😢 it’s exciting to see you are back at it. I have missed seeing your videos. Amazing not-so-mini kiln unload. You always give me a reason to buy new glazes! Thank you for sharing! What brand of speckled buff is that? I have been using Laguna’s and it doesn’t look that good unglazed or just with clear. Not many specks either. I’m going to watch your circuit video next…Regards, Liana
@@user-ej9wc2fe2d liana!! Thank you so very much 💝..it always stings but will never stop us from adding to the pack 😆 🐾…funny about the not so mini kiln unloading 😂 my kiln is huge! So I use Laguna speckled buff number 60 I think it is. You know what?! I started to notice like a year ago that pearl white looked way different than it used to on that clay body. After doing research, I found out that Laguna changed their supplier for the speckled buff so it’s a different recipe! It might still be on their website. Like this newer version is lighter in color and seems to have more grog or different grog. The old kind was darker and richer in color. So it’s not just you 😝 Glazes 😂 they are never ending!!! I still have so many to buy and try lolololol
@@user-ej9wc2fe2d here’s the speckled buff that I use: www.baileypottery.com/laguna-wc-608-60-c-6.html
