Reduction Firing my Rohde KG-340 Gas Kiln with SIC Shelves and Glaze Test Tiles

- A video all about packing and firing my Rohde KG-340 gas kiln. I recently received from SIC kiln shelves too, which made packing all the more pleasurable and together with firing lots of glaze tests recently it has made for some very exciting kiln firings.
0:00 - Unpacking SIC, (Silicon Carbide) kiln shelves
2:16 - Preparing cone packs, (cones 8, 9 & 10)
5:50 - Packing gas kiln
15:34 - Firing gas kiln
21:23 - Unpacking gas kiln
22:19 - Some glaze test tiles
23:53 - Example of an under-fired pot
24:19 - The destruction of a crawled espresso cup
24:42 - Photographs of finished pots and macro images of glazes
26:29 - Cleaning glaze off of kiln shelf
Wadding recipe: 50% china clay, 50% coarse alumina hydrate, mix powders and then add water very slowly as the mixture tends to turn too watery very easily. So better to take it slow. Once it has a clay like consistency you can wedge it up and store it in an air tight container.
Although Rohde gifted me the kiln shelves we never discussed having a video made about them or mentioning Rohde, I simply do so as I'm a fan of the shelves and of the company. In the past we have had arrangements for discounts in exchange for promotion but this is just a pottery enthusiast talking about shelves.
Thanks as always for watching!

"If you you made it this far..." Who can resist this highly addictive format?
The excellent craftmanship, the softspoken flood of information, the awesome editing
and then on top of all witnessing the breath taking results of hard work and meticulous execution.
Humble mastery instilling the wish to become an artisan myself.
Simply inspiring.
ماشاءاللہ ذبرست ویڈیو ہے۔"ہار ہو جاتی ہے جب مان لیا جاتا ہے جیت تب ہوتی ہے جب ٹھان لیا جاتا ہے"😊😊
I didn't realise you col repair pinholes in the glaze by re-firing with some more glaze over them. I had this problem with a couple of pots in my last firing so I'll give that a go. Useful information - thank you!
Wow that blue test glaze is stunning 😍 it's giving me almost Galaxy vibes, seems like it has a lot of depth. Very beautiful
Love your videos. This one about your firing schedule is just amazing. Keep the good work and the pieces look superb. And it always hit me the number of details a potter has to endure from the wheel to the unloading. Not easy.
Thanks Jorge! Potters really are masters of many skills, jack of all trades? Well, perhaps not, I'm a much better maker than I am a chemist, I wish I knew more about glazing and all the intricacies!
That blue was nice. Maybe find a way to make it have white specks in. That would be gorgeous.
I second the blue
Or red
@@gailfox7 perhaps. I think the contrast between red and blue might not look very good but I'd be interested to see it none the less.
@@marktaylor865 not like q cherry red more like a rusty red or burgundy.
@@gailfox7 hmmmm, that does sound pleasant.
Being excited about shelves is so not nerdy! I also got excited by you talking about them. They're such an improvement to your working process :)
Thank you for showing all the different test tiles they look very lovely and I’m looking forward to seeing which colors you’ll add to your pallet
Wonderful. I noticed the difference in the cones sitting on top of your kiln. A lot more consistency on the right side. I use Advancer shelves - same as your new shelves. They save our backs.
Thank you so much again for your generosity in sharing your craftsmanship with these great videos. I would love to see a video about your process of developing a new glaze and how you make your test tiles.
just to think of the many possibilities and variables of firing and glazing overwhelms me but at the same time I find it fascinating
Brilliant, super interesting, wow so many aspects of being a creative ceramics artist, thank you for creating these videos 👍😊
I LOVE the crackle glazes! The pale blues are just so wonderful!
First, congratulations on another sold out shop in minutes. Second, a potentially unforeseen safety issue in your practice-The Henry hoover is possibly not rated for fine glass dust filtration and therefore could be blowing the dust back into the air you are breathing. You ought to have a LEV 03 certified vacuum for this work I believe. I know how seriously you take dust control so hope this helps.
Good to know, next upgrade, Hoover!
I was really hoping You'd do more videos on glazings, that is by far my favorite part of pottery
Thanks a lot!
Pleased to hear so! I'll make a more thorough video about my glaze testing soon and about the whole process really but I think I need to upgrade my computer soon, storage wise, that's literally what's holding me back from making more detailed, longer videos, but then again, maybe short and sweet is best, I don't know! Thanks for watching!
I can't wait to see all the new glazes and porcelain you're going to be messing with moving forward.
I would be interested to see the tiles.
I really like that blue
Love from India bro.It’s a very difficult task but you’re doing it very fondly.
Would love to see a video devoted to test tiles :)
Glad to hear so! I’ll try and make it soon, vey busy here for the next 10 days or so but I’ll see what I can do.
I'd love to see more glaze tests!
Now your video s popular in india 😊😊😊love from india 💜
Fascinating!....thank you✨👍
Ohh wow amazing 😍😍✨
Oh I'm looking forward to this
Looking forward to the making of dip pens!
Would love to use some of those lightweight shelves myself.
We have some 30mm thick old style ones and it nearly breaks my fingers placing them on the props.
Do you need to flip them over each firing so they don't warp ?
Good stuff.
They’re amazing things. I can’t stand the old heavy ones, they can be a nightmare to slide into the kiln. These SIC shelves can withstand being fired to 1400°c, so they don’t warp whatsoever, which is a joy. The shelf industry is a bit mad in the UK, like you might know. It’s a monopoly and the guy doesn’t want to import these sorts of shelves, perhaps because they do last people their lifetimes as opposed to the others than need replacing rather a lot. I’ve heard some good things about a shelf supplier in France. Anyway, can’t recommend these SIC shelves enough, they’re a bit pricy but worth every penny in terms of ease of use and their sturdiness.
Need to watch a few times so full of information.
My god, the level of perfections are huge and insane! Hahaha!
Don't worry, I have an OCD or perfections too 😁
My god the intensity! I keep biting my fingers! 😆
Your video are very helpful thanks youuuu :D
not sure if i'm the only one but i would buy the "crawled" ones, it gives a unique character to it which you normally don't commonly get
Nice bro
Dediklerinden hiçbir şey anlamıyorum ama görüntü kalitesi, konuşman ve en önemlisi seramik videolarını izletiyor. 🙃
I wanted that damaged cup😍😭
Love the way you load to maximize the available space. Do thin selves help to fire quickly ? I love all your videos. Thanks a lot.
Ooof, new shelf and instantly dirty
VERY interested in the glaze test tiles video!!
Hello on which site did you buy your silicon carbide plates please beautiful achievements the colors are super beautiful
would mixing the oxides and powders into the clay wield any good result or they would just make the clay instable?
Does more pot getting pack inside using the new shelves help you with the reduction firing process.
Well, supposedly the more dense the pack the easier it is to achieve reduction, but it was just as packed previously with the last shelves too. It fires quicker with thin shelves though! Which is a bonus.
I would love to kniw about your test tiles
I love your videos but the volume is really low. I don't have premium so when adds kick in, I get my eardrums perforated
Ah good to know - I thought I had figured it out. Let me see what I can do for future videos. Annoyingly I think ads always have the volume up at the highest it can be just to grab your attention!
@@floriangadsby yea I also think the audio colud be just a little bit louder but not much, it would give up the calm feeling of the video. Anyways love your videos man, have a good day!
Before anyone watch any videos including his, what I did usually is muted the volume, wait until the first ads ended (or click Skip Ads) and then scroll the red bar thing, from start of the video until near the end of the video, few seconds before the video ended. And there you go! And click replay again and increase the volume back! Good luck and happy watching! 😀
do you think a very dark red/Purple would contrast your color too much?
Can’t believe it’s already sold out
Please can you tell me from where do you buy your clay
on average, how much does a firing cost you would you say?
What other ceramic artists do similar work to your own?
:00
I've seen the hours of work and dedication to each and all products you make but after checking the website... 50 pounds for a cup will make it difficult for most people to afford. I know quality and handmade items are more expensive but...
Yet he sells out within minutes. Based on supply and demand he could increase prices and still sell everything he makes.
They lose points for all that polystyrene packaging though
its german product... smile... the best
