Such a fun idea! Thanks!
I just wanted you to know that I never miss one of your videos. I find them to be as beneficial as any on the tube. Thanks
Really, William!! That is so kind of you. Thanks for letting me know. Jim and I really put a lot of time into making these and we never really know who is watching or if anyone really just is flipping through videos or really gaining some inspiration. It is nice to hear that you are enjoying them. Thanks William!
Agreed! I've learned more in a few weeks of watching your videos than in all the classes I've taken combined!
@@susanbastian2851 Wow, Susan!! That is so nice of you to say. Thanks so much for watching and have fun in the studio!
Oh. My. Goodness. This is mesmerizing, elegant and beautiful.
Wow, thanks so much Rebecca!! I appreciate that!!
All of them are beautiful. I think I like the last vase/pot the best. Thank you so much for explaining the slip trailing process so clearly!
Is it my pleasure Janita. thanks so much for watching.
Thank you delivering more surface treatment goodness!
Aww....you are more than welcome!! We enjoy making the videos :-) Thanks for watching!
Oh and one more thing, I just finished up visiting through the annual St. Croix Valley Pottery Tour in MN... It's big and wonderful and OH SO FUN, but your beautiful artistry outshines so many. Finishing my wonderful day with this video is just a treat.
Aww...that is so. kind of you to say, Em. That tour sounds like fun. I bet it was very inspiring 🙂
These are really beautiful and inspiring ❤
Thanks Laura!!
Thanks Ann! I do love your ideas and am grateful for you showing them to us.
Hi Sabine. It is our pleasure. Jim and I work really hard to make the videos and we try and find ideas that we think might inspire you guys. it is nice to know that someone out there is enjoying them 🙂
Thanks for the video!Great ideas!!
Thanks for watching, Chris!!
Great video! I love slip trailing in general and I love how the glaze is interacting on your pieces. As always, the designs end up so elegant!
Hey Em! Thanks so much. I appreciate that 🙂
Great ideas! It would be great to see them glazed.
Hey Lisa. I thought about glazing them but I am going through my clay so fast, I thought it would be better to recycle for future videos as I would have just used clear glaze over the top which would look very similar to what they are now except shinier. But thank you so much for the feedback. It was a toss up for sure. Cheers.
I like using a handheld immersion blender to mix slip w/water. Then sieve thru 80 mesh screen (or a Talisman sieve).
Hi Beth. I like to use the blender too when I am mixing a big batch of slip, but as I was only mixing a half a cup, I just did it by hand. Great tip though, thanks so much!!
Woah, slip trailing is definitely an art form I've been wanting to try! Thanks for breaking it down and making it seem so effortless. Can't wait to give it a shot and add some funky designs to my pottery!
Awesome! Im so glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks so much for watching.
Love this Ann ❤
Hey Gingy! Good to hear from you.Thanks so much!

Sandra x
I love this technic... I am definitely going to try use it on my next project❤ ❤
Wonderful!! thanks so much for watching and happy potting to you!
as always, your ideas and imagination are inspiring, i loved all they look so pretty but my favourite was the image of the pot with dots and swags from above, due to your shape you couldn't see the plain white underside. thanks or sharing everything, and ill keep watching thank you x
Hey Denise. Thank so much!! They look like marbled brownies to me and I was inspired to make some, haha. thanks as always for watching. Jim and I really apprecaite you.
LOVE LOVE these ideas! Thanks so much Ann.
Hey Micele! Aww..thanks so much!! It is always good to hear from you!
@@annruel1982 You’re so sweet. Thank you!
They turned out great ! I love the colours you used too 🥰
Thanks Easter. Im glad you like them. Thanks for watching!
@@annruel1982 💝
as it is done by a professional it seems easy!
Hi Zenaide. Haha, That is sweet of you to say, but I challenge you to give it a try. I am curious to see what you think once you get in there and do it.
Hi Ann! Love your videos! You mentioned that you used a laser level to make the vertical lines on the bulbus vase. Could you do a video showing how you set up and use a laser level in your decorating and making process? I think it would be interesting!
Thanks Ann! I want to try slip trailing, just haven’t done so yet! The cup with grass and flowers with icy turquoise was really pretty! Love it!! ☺️❤️
Aww..thanks Candy! Im glad you like them. That glaze is one of my favorites too.
I have found using an immersion blender for mixing my slip I don't need to sieve.
Hey Sandy. I do that too when I have a big batch I am making, but for just a little 1/2 cup batch, a tea strainer will do the job and then i dont have to wash it up, haha. Great tip and thanks for watching!
Looks stunning! Would you also do a tutorial on the glazing part please?
We will put that on the list to do! Thanks.
Hey Ann I looove yr videos u r so sweet! Could you pls tell me what slip trail bottles u use? They look perfect! I love how uniform yr dots r! Beautiful! Nat at mud magic in Sydney Australia xx
There is a link in the description - thank you!
Hi Nat! NIce to meet you. Greetings to Sydney from Florida!! Jim put a link to the cake decorating bottle that I used in the description section , but Im sure you can find some generic cake decorating bottles in your local craft store. Cheers to you!
Beautiful! the last design shot from above is so pretty. Who makes that ice turquoise glaze please? looks great with porcelain.
Hi Ms. Montes. I agree. That is one of my favorite colors to use on porcelain for any decorations on clay where I want the glaze to break. It is Mayco Turquoise SW 201.
@@annruel1982 Thank you for the reply. I'll have to try see how it does at cone 5, I have not had much luck with these glazes at 5... I think they definitely need a cone 6 firing. Have a wonderful day, and thank you for video 🙏😊
@@ms.montes2080 Actually, I fire to cone 5 and then add a little bit of a hold at the end so the glaze can get a nice melt. About 4 minutes seems to work well without getting any drips.
Do you dip or spray to keep the sewing wheel markings? Love this video!
Hi JoAnn. Are you asking how to keep the glaze from covering over the markings? Just make sure that you use a transparent glaze that breaks well over the texture. I like to use Amaco Celedon glazes. Thanks for the kind words and watching the video!!
Hello!! I love your pieces and videos!! I’ve never done slip decorating but have gotten some requests to do so from friends! Can you do slip decor on any clay body? Would the process be: add slip decor (or carvings!) to your green ware (pre bone dry), fire it at bisque fire, glaze the piece, and then fire it at glaze fire? Any can this be done at low medium and high fires? Thank you so much!!!
Yes - you can slip most bodies but best to test before. I do it at greenware stage then bisque then high fire. I can still tweak it at the bisque stage (Cone 04) if needed. Typically cone 5 for high fire. Good lucK!
Hello ! Do you know how to avoid cracks in the texture added with slip ? I was wondering if I should deflocculate the slip, but I don't know to what proportions or if it's even a good idea.
So many variables...could be cracks from the variance in dryness (putting something wet on something too dry)...depends on what kind of clay you are using for slip too...the porcelain tends to be smooth and does not crack. You can try deflocculating but it may thin it out too much...
Is that all done on leather hard dry clay? Thanks!
Yes, it is
Who is the mfg. of the icy turquoise ? I appreciate you!
Every time Ive tried this, my slip trailing shrinks down to where it’s barely there. What am I missing?
You may have watered down the slip too much and/or just lay a thicker layer down. Let us know how its going!
