Great step-by-step Demo, Charleen-thanks. It may be helpful for future videos if the narrator repeats the questions from the audience so that TH-cam viewers can hear
I remember Blossom Hill Crafts from 40 odd years ago! Joanne taught me to throw and the Raku parties were memorable, still got some of the pieces back home in England. In fact one bowl I glazed with Mt. St. Helen's ash is still my husband's favorite cereal bowl. I'm working on a commission for a re-enactor who wants a 17th century type plate. We figured red earthenware with slip decoration would be good. So I googled. Very helpful, thanks. I found a squeezy bulb like your expensive option, (knew I had one somewhere) and made a smaller nozzle out of a feather which works well.
Line skipping is in the nature of this demonstrators technique, which is slip-piping - forcing a thick slip through a pipette or quill. When using this technique, it’s important to remove all the air from the filled slip-piper. Thinner slip is easier to de-air, and when used in an open-ended slip-horn, encourages freer-flowing decoration without skips. Squeeze bulb slip-pipers can be cheaply made using a baby aspirator (snot-bulb) with different nibs made from ball inflators, bits of ball-point pen, different gauges of electrical wire insulation, etc.. I use thinner slip with a cow-horn and goose-quill. Happy potting!
Could this be used for plaster of Paris so you don’t have to have a piece that née to be put in a kiln? Make a square of plaster and let it harden. Then do your slip trailing with more plaster on top of your piece.
Can’t you screen the grog out of the base clay? Seems like it would be easier to me to use dry clay trimmings that are slaked down and screen through very fine mesh and then add color. Those hand blenders must wear out pretty quickly.
Very good question. It should work, I will try testing it out on a cookie. I’m wondering if defloculent can be used in glazes that are getting too thick.
I was watching anther person slip trailing ( first time I heard of it!) and she was using a hair color bottle for her slip, because she wanted something much larger than she could find in arts and craft stores.
I am very estonish by your work to prepare you engobe ...1) Why don't you enploy dry klei ? It's more rapid and easy . 2) You don't weigh the colorant ... Then how do you make the same color for an other work ? 3) You are not effraid by put your finger un the mixer with the electric on !!! Is'it good for peoples not in habit with that work ... Sorry for my bad English but it isn't my mother langage ...

Fantastic demo Charleen really informative so much detail...
Enjoyed this video! Thank you!
This is sooo helpful!! Thank you so much for this.

Helpful, Thanks 👍
Great tips.
Helen Van Wyk called lines with skips, “the lost and found line”!

Cleaning out the blender blade with your right finger still on the button! Yikes!!
Too many fingers maybe.
Charleen! Don't clean the blade like that! Yikes. You need those fingers!!
Safety alert!
That was scary

Could you tell me what gauge size the nib was please?
Doesn't hurt to sieve the slip after you make it😉
That’s what I think!
Will you repeat the questions when asked? Its hard to hear to hear them.
what is the breaking white glaze name?
Charleen Renati thank you
If she answered your question, we can’t see it. I’d like to know also.
hopefully this will get answered and ill see it lol, but can you use under glaze to color the slip?
@Charleen Renati thank you
Just remember in general, slip can go over UG but NOT the reverse.
Couldn't hear the questions
What did the women say she used to slip trail near the end...it's where Charleen said, "oh, I want to try one."
I think she said “hypos” the kind used to give shots.
Wish she was my teacher...
She's totally right, it should be yogurt. Weird that people laughed.
Sorry, had to report for the safety alert.
