I started this channel to share my learning experiences with pottery. You see, I've always wanted to learn to use a potter's wheel, but was afraid I would suck. So I never made the time to do it.
Well, recently a friend offered to teach me. Now all my excuses were out the window. I had a teacher, use of the equipment, so I told myself it was now or never!
And guess what? I didn't suck! That's not to say that I'm great or even good yet, but my first piece on the wheel turned out to be something I actually completed and it is being used today!
Please follow if you want to see my journey, including the failures as well as the successes. You see, I consider those not-so-good pieces to be educational and useful. So I'm sharing them with you in hopes that it gives you the courage to try that thing you've always wanted to try.
Take a chance. Stretch that envelope. Expand your comfort zone. You never know, you might not suck. But if you do, it will only be for a little while.

Jingle Bell Tutorial

Welcome! Thanks for watching! These bells were made from Laguna Frost porcelain and fired in an old-school manual electric kiln to cone 6. They were single fired (not bisqued first) and fired on stilts that supported them from the inside. I will add a card to view the glaze firing once I edit that video. I hope you find the information useful. Please let me know if you have made these, or are t...
Does It Grow On You? Glaze Combos That Aren't As Expected.

We've all had it happen. We open the kiln and see a piece that is nothing like what we envisioned. What do you do? Refire, and risk cracking, blistering, bloating and worse? Offer it for sale? Or, do you do what was recommended to me, and put it away for a while, then look at it with fresh eyes? Let me know what YOU do in the comments.

@@RedEftDesigns I hope you enjoyed it!
Hey Pat 👋 love the jingle bells they are so cute! And the bears with the hearts on their paws are sweet❤ Did you get that coyote sampler set of Archie's its been in my cart so long they look fun ✨️
P.s. love that aurora green etc bowl wow 💚💜
@RedEftDesigns thank you so much! Yes, I got the sample set. Big mistake! Now I must buy more! 🤣 You won't be disappointed if you purchase it.
Ooooo, that oil bottle is lovely. Lol, that second jingle bell in the Boogie pink looked like it grew legs 😄 The bowls are very pretty! Your bear family is very cute, such a sweet gift idea.
Hi Jane! Thank you so much for the kind comments! I was pretty chuffed with this load, and anxious that the bears came through okay. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Hi Pat, lovely kiln opening! Love the oil pourer! The bear family are adorable❤❤
@@ceramicsbyjulia8552 hi! Thanks for stopping by! Your comments mean the world to me. Have a great holiday!
Hey Pat! That jug is the first time I’ve liked muddy waters so pretty! Wow that blue bowl is gorgeous hope u can save it. Soft red is bad for frothing if even just a little thick. Wow enchanted forest is so pretty! Great kiln. Nat xx
Hi Nat! Thanks so much! This is the first time I've liked Enchanted Forest. All other times, it's been...meh. Nothing enchanting about it. I think the blue bowl is salvageable. Or, maybe I'll just use it as is and not sell it! 🤣
Hi Pat! Nice combo's, I love the aurora green one. And ow how cute is your bear family, love them! Happy holidays! 😘
Hi Monique! I hope all is well with you ni Bonaire! I'm warming up to the aurora green. The first piece I did reminded me of a petri dish! LOL I think it needs a vertical surface and flux. Same with the enchanted forest. Not a fan on its own, but love it with a glaze that moves. I wish you and your family a blessed Holiday Season!
@patspotpage I liked the combo you did, I actually liked the yellow in it. 😃
Pot lovers!! Ha! The bells are beautiful
Thanks so much! Let me know if you make some, and how they turn out. I posted a video of how I make them if you're interested. I appreciate you watching and commenting!
Hi Pat! Nice combinations! I have to Watch it back on a bigger screen to see what is was! But loved it❤ thank you!
@@Ellen.s.atelier hi! Thanks for watching. I'm glad you liked what you saw.
I really like the jingle bells. You've convinced me no matter how nice the glazes, leave mine unglazed. Specially like the jingle bowl, it would make a good wassailing bowl. Leave it attached; oh, too late.
LOL, Jeff! Too late for the jingle bowl. Yes, it would be easier to leave the bells unglazed, but maybe not as pretty on the tree. They all ended up fine, though...except the two I dropped and broke! Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Thanks for this upload,. It was interesting to see you create the bells. I'm wondering now whether I could do something similar with air dry clay. Sounded like there was a bit of an audio issue with the incidental music constantly fading in & out. I'm sure I'm not alone in being more than happy with hearing your instructions without music in future. It would save you time in the editing process...bonus! Orrabest fae Scotland! 😀👍
Hi, thank you for watching and commenting! I tried something new with the editing. My software has a music ducker, which reduces the volume of the music when there is talking. It obviously has limitations! Thanks for letting me know. Also, it sounded much different when I was editing. When I upload to YT they do something to alter the volumes. You may be my first viewer from Scotland! It's a place I've always wanted to visit, but never made the time. I don't know how well this would do with air dry clay, but you could certainly try. I don't know if they would ring quite as well. The clay has to vitrify in order to get a good ring...at least with my clay. I don't have experience with air dry. Let me know if it works!
Thank you for sharing ❤🇨🇦
Thanks for watching! ❤
Hi Pat, I’m Suza and a new Subscriber. I am glad I found your channel with so many Videos and Shorts where you share your glazing results. It’s a treasure to me. Thank you for sharing ❤
@@susanroswandowicz thanks for stopping in and letting me know! I'm so glad you're able to use some of what I've shared!
This is on point and I'm fascinated by how you narrate about it
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Wow, stunning Pat !
@@Shawnreidpottery thank you!
Pat will you please stop using glazes I don’t have??😂😂 I can give you a list of the one I have so it doesn’t cost me so much money😂😂 but for now I will do the combo power turquoise and pearl white since I do have that one😅😅
@Ellen.s.atelier I know, right? I blame all the other potters here. I started out mixing my own, but here were so many beautiful combos...
@ yeah!! I blame them too😜😜
@ I will start mixing them myself too, as soon as Christmas is over. And I have to find out what different glaze recipes I can use and change it to the Dutch ingredients. We don’t have all the same stuff here as in other countries
@@Ellen.s.atelier create an account with Glazy.org. They have calculators you can use to substitute available ingredients. I found a lot of the recipes I use on Glazy.
Beautiful, Pat!
@@AudreyLynnStudios thanks so much!
That tortoise beats the hare.
Hi Pat! Love this combo! Man the combination and the colors that appear ❤❤ love it!!
@@Ellen.s.atelier thanks! Let me know if you try it!
@ I will! Burning have to order it! You guys cost me so much money 😂😂
@@Ellen.s.atelier i know, right? 🤣😂
Thanks for sharing. BTW you look great without makeup. Please can you explain how you do the wax with Silica and what proportions etc. And how you apply it. To piece or shelf??? Thanks
You're sweet! Thanks for the compliment. I misspoke. It's wax with alumina. You just add a small spoon of it to some liquid wax. It doesn't take a whole lot. If you have a problem with plucking, it will help. But it doesn't take the place of cleaning your bottoms!
Hey Pat , new potter and subscriber ! Your glaze combos are inspiring !
@@Shawnreidpottery thanks so much! Welcome to life as a potter!
What an amazing kiln load!! Thank you so much for posting the glaze combos AND before pictures!! How awesome it is to just take a screen shot!!
Hi Michele! I'm glad you found it useful. I get frustrated sometimes seeing pieces and knowing that the order and/or application plays such a big part in how it turns out. So I try to put it all up there! 🙂
@ I get frustrated too. I’m so glad you do this.

True words in a time like this now🙏🏻👍👍👍👍
Hey Pat wow that peacock bowl is stunning!! The vase is so pretty. Your editing is amazing! Wow the autumn purple bowl is my fav! Is that Amaco celadon glacier on skull mug? Great unload xx
Awe, thanks Nat! Editing is the most tedious part, I think...worst than glazing! It was Spectrum's Glacier. Sorry, I should have included that. I'll have to keep the peacock bowl. It has a bit of orange peel texture in the bottom, so I won't sell it. But it's not bad enough to risk a refire, so...darn...I'll just have to keep it! I'll make more and use a little less glaze. I can get heavy handed with them, especially when layering! LOL Thanks for watching and commenting!
Haha shame u will have to keep it 😜
@mudmagic407 🤣
Hi tanks nice to meet you👍✌️👏🧡❤️😊❤️
Love this!! Thank you!!
@jeanmsrtin6410 thanks for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Hey Pat!! Your video came up in my feed so I’m checking it out..not sure why it took so long to show up..better late than never! Love that garlic keeper! Ohh you are so lucky to have the advancer shelves!! One day! You must share how you are able to have your kiln outside without any covering it up? That wavy mug is super cute! Love that glaze..but it has Aurora Green…my arch nemesis so I won’t be doing that one! Haha! As I’m typing this you asked if that was me..yes! Haha I got the tip from Shelby in AU. I’m glad it worked for you! Thanks for sharing your work and glaze combos!! 🥰
@SarahWaltonPottery thanks so much! I think sometimes TH-cam plays games with the feeds. My subscriptions don't always show up right away either. I could only afford one and a half shelves, but someday, maybe, I can get more. I keep a grill cover over the kiln to protect it from the elements. Not ideal, but it's what I've got for now. It's a manual kiln, so no circuit boards. I hear you on the Aurora Green. I'm still undecided on it. Time will tell! Thanks for watching and commenting!
love your work! I'm curious genuinely, how does the kiln do when it rains/snows on it? or do you cover it? So brave to have it outside, I would have never thought to do that and if I had I would be the biggest chicken to do it. ;)
Thank you so much! I cover the kiln with a grill cover when it's not in use. It is an old-school manual kiln, so no electronics to be corroded by the elements. I would not put a digital kiln outside, as the humidity would not be good for it. Many people keep their kilns out in a shed or similar. A lot depends on your environment. Thanks for the question, and for watching!
when i clicked this i got a andrew garfield ad
I don't control the ads that TH-cam shows. Once you get past the ad you will see the video. Or you can pay the monthly ransom for ad free TH-cam!
What a great assortment of glazes! I have and love Muddy Waters (one of my top 5 favs) I want to get leather too! Stoned Denim is gorgeous! I use Satin Patina on a speckled buff clay and it is just stunning! You are going to have such fun testing!
@divinewrath3142 thanks! I'll be firing this week so stay tuned. Thanks for the tip earlier.
Fun, Pat! Looking forward to seeing your pieces with these glazes!
@@AudreyLynnStudios thanks! Me too! I just started the bisque load, so stay tuned. I'm actually looking forward to glaze day. 🤣
Have fun
@corryg6403 thanks!
I won't even use brush-on glazes, but an unboxing video is just too much fun. As the food service people say 'enjoy'.
@pottersjournal i use dipping glazes as well, but some some of these i for just to try. Some come powdered, but small quantities this time for testing.
Hi Pat! What an amazing colors! And so many!! Can’t wait to see what you do with them! And I feel you when you say about you guys are bad for my glaze addiction 😂
@Ellen.s.atelier I know, right? 😂 Thanks for chiming in and for watching!
Thank you Pat for sharing that! I never do that but you are totally right ❤
Thanks for watching Ellen! I'm glad you found value.
I like big mugs so i can say i only had 3 cups rather than 6. Have to agree with the handle round the corners
I'm with you. I have a travel mug that holds one quart. I drink that, and a mug I made that holds about the same amount...just two cups a day! LOL. Thanks for watching Corry!
Great philosophy 'you can always put less in'. I like changing what I like.
I just like options!!! LOL. Thanks for watching Jeff, and have a great weekend!
Hello Pat, vet nice pieces. Thank you so much for sharing! ❤
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching! ❤
Oooh I love the Texas two step glazes!!
Thank you so much! And thanks for watching and commenting!
Love the gun metal!
M Thanks, me too. That is a combo my son picked for his set of dishes (which I need to get back to!).
Very nice Glaze at @3:26! Nice colors came up!
Thanks Al! I'm happy with most of the results. Thanks for watching!
Thanks, now I can make a Wendigo skull aztec death whistle.
I'm glad you found it useful! Thanks for watching and for letting me know. ❤
Lovely unload. Loved the frosted lemon and frosted topaz mug. Such a pretty combo! Thanks for sharing 😊
Thanks Lisa! That's one of my faves too. I'll be playing with that some more! Thanks for watching, and great to hear from you! 💘
Hi Pat, love the oil spot effect on the Texas mug. The green of the orbe is pretty. Oooh love frosted lemon as a base. Oh good idea waxing the stilts. Love the cauldron mug Great kiln unload. Trace x
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it ❤
Hi Pat! Thank you for sharing! Love your pieces and the use of the glazes! The plate is stunning❤
Thank you so much! ❤
Hey Pat! Thanks for the shoutouts! I wasn’t really happy w my handle mug either it was a lot of work easier to just attach a handle. Love the oil spot on the Texas mug. Love the idea of frosted lemon base on that mug so pretty. Awesome unload. Nat xx
Thanks! I agree that making handles separately is much less work. Still, all three mugs did to the first person who saw them. ❤
Hi, Pat. Nice kiln opening. I really like the garlic keeper. Your mugs turned out great! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Audrey! ❤
Ooooo...that's pretty!
Thank you! It's so fun (and scary) testing new glazes! 😊
I’ve been trying to make one of these in my pottery classes, but it’s been hard to figure out just from the pictures. Watching someone else attempt it, though, has been really helpful-I actually enjoy seeing someone else struggle through the same challenges.
Thanks! You made my day knowing I helped someone else succeed!
Well, overall, I like it. If you did it over, I’d say omit the crystals, but then I don’t like crystals. But the glaze colors are great together.
Thanks SKC, I'm with you. Not a fan of the crystals unless they get drippy like on the cup. Maybe it's me. 🤣
@@patspotpage My grandma had a ceramic shop in the 1960s, when crystal glazes first came out. I remember a brown Coffee Galaxy glaze - everybody used it on everything, especially giant boomerang ashtrays. Lol! I’m so over crystals!
Oh wow they are gorgeous. Lucky you! I love Dante and have learnt so much from his tutorials. 😊
Yup, and he's a little cheeky too!
