Hey, thanks. Took a quick look to wet the appetite. Tasteful, I'll definitely be taking a bigger bite. I do an upscale farm market and do see pots as sustenance to feed the soul.

WOW. Thanks for making note of what is really a philosophy of design so subtle who would ever notice but that I think important to strong form.

Through the process felt as if I was just going through the motions but in the end, they really took me by storm. Kinda wishes I'd used the treadle although it wasn't needed, they got the life.

I do like redware, earthenware. For me, I like making the stoneware, stronger more durable and a nice ring to it.

It really took me by surprise. Other than me no one really knew what they were, except..... I got the ultimate satisfaction, the museum curator and sit administrator both got one.

Earthenware not fired as high. Usually around cone 04, it needs glazes that also mature at the lower temperature.

Busy time in the nursery and greenhouse, could have said more about the Albany slip it was kind of an afterthought. As were the handles; I have a better respect for extruded now when done well but still think how nicer the entire piece would be if....

Never heard that however did pare it with a salad. Doctor says numbers are through the roof but adds they are with the good fats. Picked up a case of olive oil in Tarpon Springs but never did pick up the natural ceramic sponges. We're coming up on the age Ralph had his first kills. Brut is in training, very prey motivated. He did pull an old moss-covered toy bunny out of the woods and another out of an old Easter basket.

Thank you, Pat, I so enjoy 🐶your comments. I don't have the connections in the art world I once did. As a student, doing street markets, galleries, travel, the pipe sculpture workshop, you're that world now. I've only made 1 porcelain pot as a student pulled it out to show you in 1 of my 400 videos. Maybe I'll make some again, maybe. 🐶

Kohut, rooster, from what I've recently quickly glanced into might be used a bit in Slovenia more north and east possibly touching into Ukraine. Documents say 1/2 Austrian, but no one ever proclaimed it so the 1/4 Czech and 1/4 Slovenian are the parts passed on. The exploration of the Slovenian pots so satisfying to me are all in a play list. I'll make some really large ones soon for this year's Slovenefest.

@@pottersjournal my family is Austrian. So definitely love the European style folk art and pottery. I've got a ceramic vase from my grand mother and love its simplicity. I love antique things too. Well made and long lasting. You're lucky to live on a little farm too. I live in the city Canberra, Australia

Evelyn. Nice hearing from you and about my fun new boy. Some do, I usually kind of avoid leaning against the side in a bisque. When I do no problem against the brick. I'd never let touch the elements and because of the expansion and shrinkage of the ware in firing I avoid where it could catch brick edge.

@@pottersjournal thanks for that

🐶He loves it here but also has been well behaved considering his high activity level and has been responsive to my wants. New happy time for us both. Testing the glaze and decorative configurations on the 4 small bowls was key to determining how to go with the biggies.

We're both loving it. Didn't think anyone would watch a bisque stacking but had to show off. Smooth glazing surprised me. In past the large bowls have been scalloped and the wavyness can throw the glaze unexpectedly everywhere.

Eddie. 🙂 Great hearing from you. 🙂

You've had a nice impact on the pottery world.

I don't know what is wrong with him. He is so happy and content with life. After being locked up, malnourished, no food or water the shelter was the best thing to ever happen to him. Then to find himself here, landing in paradise. We are both enjoying it.

Interesting sounds like you've done a chair and were lucky or 'easy peasy' would also describe making a pie and crust, something so few do today. Mom has done since the 70's 100's of gutter cane alone, no two alike, on top of that all the cane patters including maybe the first to creatively combined them, additionally real cattail rush, shaker tape, splints, inserted medalions..... Our videos are more lifestyle of the craftsmen than how-to, I try to touch on but don't always catch all parts of a project, her use of the vinegar and water are elaborated on at 3:21 in this video. Her method, she's developed a personal style, is to first remove what is easily removed and loosening what remains so when used the vinegar can gets to where the glue is. Caution is urged when drilling a clients rare antique or treasured family heirloom and it may not get vinegar to where the glue is. This is a precision work; I'll refer all to TH-cams 'Sliver River Chairs' th-cam.com/video/nLdJqNc2PxU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=GaCVnGVd5KDeTGqc 'How to Remove Press Cain Seat' he covers many vital steps that cannot be missed, he also goes through the tedious part in fast motion and with cool fun music. Thanks, the drilling was interesting to hear about and research. She learned the hard way before the internet's tips and tricks. At 84 she's eighter too old to change or happy with the satisfaction of her clients.

Hard thing to follow two, Ralph The Dog and then My Boy Ralph. Brutus is finding his own way.

He's taken very quickly to my training. And formal school on Sunday. Still, I won't chance leaving a ladder up to the squirrel tree.

Ralph was so much a part of the farm, studio my life. Hard buy yes now it's they. ❤🐶🐶🐶❤

It has been for me, so rewarding.

Thanks, I'll have to do another collecting soon. Hope your able to do some art or collecting too.

I tried my best for Sam knowing he couldn't stay with me, and he got more likes than I'd seen on his adoption. Truth is my motivations are pure selfish, they do more for me than I for them. Why more don't do this I don't know.

Ralph and I were so in tune, communicating volumes with a glance and a nod. Sam did so much for me paving the way for Brut, he loves my farm and has been so good I couldn't say no to him. ❤Aloha ❤

Such a complex form, so hard to make. It must be in the blood; they all came out perfect for me. The potica did not come out so perfect. This will help, thank you. If you want to trade a small poticnica let me know. I'll ship mine to you first.

Hello😊 Well I am not a potter I just love to learn handcrafts and I made only about 10 of them. When I am satisfied with my work we can make a trade. Thank you for your generous offer 😊

@@metakosir6508 keep me informed

I hope to visit someday. Potters of all skill development. if it happens maybe I could visit you. The food, alcohol, music part of the culture was so important to my grandmother. This has been the most satisfying and fulfilling direction my work as ever took. So good to hear from you.

always always always

Sam was my first foster ever. A roller coaster ride of emotions. Unexpected thrill at the end with a so better than I'd ever imagined 'happily ever after'.

I was in disbelief but why he had so much to give. He found the perfect family to give to. For fostering me over my Ralph I'm forever grateful to Sam.

Glad to hear your watching. Learned a lot of new stuff I'm not going to do. A lot of old stuff to keep on doing. Fun along the way.

Grazie mille. Nice Johny cash cover you did in street of Aosta. It's always beautiful there.

A little time till I get it hooked up. Hope it works if so, it had new elements put in and looks in great condition. An older Skutt so no worries about electronics and programing just turn it on.

Just had some of my very flavorful homemade maple syrup oh yogurt better than the Greek idea of honey. I'd been thinking of making these pots for a time now it's part of why I took notice of your very nice cut from a block handles. In the end I just couldn't do, just too much to master.

That's intrigued me but since there is no easy way out, I'll stay with the only way I know how. I grew some blue Oaxacan corn last year. Just ground it and made the best cornbread ever.

Not quite my Slovenian pots discovery of last year but I was so glad to find a redware/slipware potter so near I've driven over the street where his pottery stood and talked to the curator, I will get my hands on his pots at some point. Nothing tops this country's greatest potter, my favorite David Drake book is 'Carolina Clay, Legend of Slave Potter Dave'.

As I do more Weber inspired pots I will sneak in a book review at some point. Although they don't get as many views, they have got some thoughtful comments despite me just being a kid with a camera.

When I watch myself make a pot it looks to me like I don't know what I'm doing 16:31 but look at that.

I cheated my way to mastering and cheated today taking for me the easy way out.

Yes. Absolutely. I have a new appreciation for the extruded handles. I can't do it, pulled is the easy way out for me. I recently noted to a potter friend, Sheila Carroll, known in the comments here on the fineness of her cut from a block of clay handles. How things change when you put yourself in another's shoes.

The religious Harmony Society settled in 3 locations. When moving to New Harmony Indiana it was noted there was 'potter's clay', confirmed by society leader Fredric Rapp 'fine clay for bricks and excellent for pottery' in letters. The pots are a porous earthenware. When stoneware became the demand, Christoph Weber was making fewer pots and was of an age, it's thought, not wanting to make such a change in his production. I like Standard Ceramics 'Hazelnut Brown 211, stoneware. Also, for the proximity to me, because it's pugged and deaired, it's a throwing clay and especially because its dark color gives the body and glazes a reduction look in an oxidation kiln. I like the durability, ring and fell of stoneware. I'm at where Christoph Weber left off and taking the English and Pennsylvania earthenware/redware slipware decorative techniques to the stoneware clay.

Thank you so much

@@spitrock33 And you, thanks for a chance to think this out and get more into it.

Thanks. I checked my potter's journal, and the pedestals were different sizes 8 to 11 lbs.. The bath basins were 6lbs. and I think came out at about 14 inches. Did another bath video 6 years back when I newly returned to pots making. I really struggle in that video with very stiff clay.

Thank you for taking the time to check your clay weight. Very much appreciated. I really enjoy your videos. Such talent!

Mixed ages but younger. Probably important to message the parents too. next year will be so much easier.
