dear Ali Ceramics I personally really enjoy the fact that it is in real time with the proper footage cuts for the main movements. As a beginner myself I find it very helpful
Thank you for your videos! I really appreciate you including your REAL experience with "oops" and all. So educational and validating, and I learn so much more from your process this way. Thank you!
These are now my go-to video lessons. Because he talks through the process as a learner/discoverer. I find motivations and innovation from his sessions .
We have had 0 case for a awhile now. Here in Melbourne things are open, with some restrictions on number of people allowed indoor and gatherings, as well as masks. For me it’s basically back to normal as firing services are open, although with big back log as everyone is trying to gets things they made during lockdown fired. So things a taking a bit longer and I have to delay my shop update.
@@samuri2011 If you are interested definitely try it! There are many short classes or even one off experience class around to test the water and see how you go.
@@twelve.80 ok cool!! Thank you for the encouragement ☺️ I'll take a look around and see what's in my neighborhood. Maybe I can take a beginners class. 💙💙 Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video! I’ve been looking at these fermentation jars, and have been wondering where I can get them from. I didn’t even realize I can meet them with Clay. This is great!
Thank you so much for sharing this. I love your work and the way you document all your learning process. I recently started hand building ceramics on my own and I also wanted to make a crock pot for our fermented goodies at home. I guess it would be even trickier without a wheel right?
I wouldn't say its trickier, just more time consuming. I don't have any experience in hand building, but I don't see why coil or pinching wouldn't work. Give it a try, worse case scenario you get a jar out of it. Good thing about the water seal is that even if your the lid doesn't match up perfectly it will still be air tight.
Hey great video! Do you have a recommendation for the highest grade, strongest, and safest glaze to use, specifically for high acidic environments like fermentation? Thanks!!!
I don’t have specific recommendation, as I make my own glaze. But a commercial clear glossy glaze that is rated food safe would be best as the ingredients for a clear gloss is very simple and require no toxic materials.
@@twelve.80 Wow thanks for the super fast reply. Much appreciated! One last quick one...could one simply fire at a higher temp and leave the inside of the pot unglazed?
Short answer is it depends. Each clay vertrify differently. Even smooth stoneware fired to maturity will have a small percentage of water absorption rate of 2% so it is not entirely water right. Porcelain which has very very tightly packed particles is at 0.5%. Without glaze the clay body will always absorb some moisture, which is fine when it’s a cup or a bowl, but I imagine being soaked for long period of time might not be suitable. This is all just in theory as I have not personally researched or experimented, it might be a good idea to see what the traditional method was in places like Korea, and if they ever had unglazed kimchi pots.
I know this is a long video, should I speed up the throwing footage? Or should I leave it real time??

@@LuciaRucabado Thanks for the feedback! Good to know. As I get better they should become shorter videos haha
I'd rather have more content than too little. I can always tap ahead 10, 20 ,30 seconds if I want to go faster.
@@traceyosterlind14 That's true, I have also started using the faster playback speed setting on youtube when I want to go through something faster.
I like the speed and discovery in your process!

Thank you for explaining the rim process. Especially folding the rim out to create the water channel. That was the missing step I needed.

Thank you so much! Glad you like them!
Looking forward to seeing the finished product. I've always wanted to make one of these crocks!
Me too! I am unable to fire it until lock down finishes in 3 weeks (hopefully).
@@twelve.80 How's your lockdown going? We had some things opened, but are now closing again.

Nice job. Can't wait to see the finished results. Please send me a link.
ah! this is so cool! Your process is so fun to watch!
Thank you!
@@twelve.80 of course! I really want to learn pottery but I'm worried I'll be no good at it 😭😭😭 maybe I should try?

Thank you for sharing this! I tried these jars a few times and folding the rim to get a thicker area is very smart, I will try this for sure!
Thank you so much for this video! I’ve been looking at these fermentation jars, and have been wondering where I can get them from. I didn’t even realize I can meet them with Clay. This is great!
That’s the lovely thing about clay! There is so much you could do with it!
Maybe throw your pot first, then throw your lid to fit. 👍🏼

Thanks for showing your hiccup of not measuring and how you fixed it!
How much clay did you start with?
I want to buy one of these! Anyone? (In oz?)
wow
