I don't know why I'm surprised, but you've done it again, beautiful pieces, just beautiful 🎉😮😊
Thanks for sharing your decorating ideas. Can’t wait to try.
My pleasure. Thank you so much for watching. Jim and I really appreciate that.
Stunning results.
Hi Kathleen, Aww...thanks so much!! Jim and I really appreciate you watching. 🙂
thank you~you made amazing job-
that is so nice of you. Thanks so much for watching!
Just lovely
Hey Denise. that is so kind of you. thanks for watching.
I loved all these ! You did great.
Aww...thanks so much. I really appreciate that!!
Wow, that's a big bang for your buck with all those tools and stencils in this kit. I can totally see myself using this. I do a lot of carving. I can see that the stencils would be great templates for that too.
Hey Vicki. Oh my gosh, yes. You definitely could use those for carving. What a great idea. That gives me more ideas to play with Thanks for that 🙂
Thank you Ann for your videos- you are so talented and so inspirational! Always look forward to see what ideas you come up with next. Thanks 😊
Hey Alaine. That is so nice of you. Thank you so much for watching and reaching out. I will try and keep playing and exploring new ideas and technique for you. Happy potting
Wow, so many stencils. ❤
Hey Sara. I was surprised at that myself. I thought maybe there would be one of two, but you really included a lot. thanks for watching!
@@annruel1982 😍
Love it. Its looks really great.
Aw....thanks so much Doninis! I really appreciate you watching.
I've seen these ball tools used to make smooth dents and channels in wet clay too.
Hi wicked. We actually did a video where we used similar types of things to do that with. But we just used things that we found around the house that did the same sort of things as these would do.
Beautiful work!
Hi Houseboat. That is so kind of you to say, thanks so much for watching
Such a great video. Had to watch it twice!!!
Hey Lin! Aww...that is so nice of you. Im so glad you enjoyed the video and the projects. Give this a try. You would probably enjoy making these yourself. 🙂
So pretty ❤
I appreciate that!! Thanks for watching!
turned out great
Aww...thanks so much!! I appreciate that. thanks also for watching.
I can see where it would be easy to get carried away with this ❤
Hey John. For sure! I have other ideas I would like to try with these . thanks for watching!
Very informative! I've been curious re: Mandala tools w/underglazes. Your designs have a nice folk art look.
Hi Beth. Thanks a lot. Those are just some of the things that you can do with the tools. My pieces did come out folksy, but I bet there are a lot of other ways to go with this as well. Give it a try. 🙂
I really love your leaf pattern piece. Love how colourful your work is!
Very exciting to see how creative you can be.
Thank you! Great video 👌
inspired!❤
Really nice!!
This is really fun. Did you know that you can use the ends of paintbrushes in place of ball tools as well? I love how colorful these pieces are.
Hey Tari. That is so smart. Im sure if you look around in your house, you can find a lot of different tings to do the same tasks. Great thinking and a lot more economical 🙂. thanks for watching.
Thank you from a non drawing artiste 🎉
❤❤❤
Hey Raven. Yeah!! thanks so much!!
When you began with the greenware, my 1st thought was Clemson or any team that features tiger or bear paws as a logo. Just for those so inclined for any reason. Another great video!
Haha. You are right. that would also be another great design for these tools. Good thinking. Thanks so much for watching.
❤
Yeah! Thanks so much Venice. Jim and I really appreciate you watching.
I always get so inspired by your videos. But this one may take the cake. I wonder how many of those kits are going to be ordered now based on your video. This really cool technique is totally within the reach of just about anybody that wants to do detailed glazing of this fashion on their pottery. Thanks so much for sharing your ideas and inspiration!
Hi Allie. that is so sweet of you to say. Thanks so much for watching. Jim and I appreciate that.
This is so awesome. I already have all those metal ball stylus.....so I am all set for experimenting. Thanks for another great demo. Are you working with porcelain clay ?
Hey Teresa. Then you ARE ready to go. You will definitely have fun with this technique. Go for it. Yes, I do work on porcelain 🙂. For me it seems to make a wonderful canvas, Thanks so much for watching!! Happy potting. Ann
Hello, I subscribed to your channel for a few weeks now. Love your content. I’m not a potter and never touched one, but you made it look so easy so it inspired to sign up for a pottery class this September in my local area. I notice that each video you mentioned how to bake the pot, like “high fire it to cone 5 with a 6 minute hold” or “bisfired to cone 4”. What do they all mean? Thank you again and keep up the great content!!
Hi Atptmt. Thank you so much for subscribing to our channel. I am so glad that you are enjoying the projects and even more glad that you are going to take a course. That is fabulous!
As far as when I talk about how to fire the pottery.....First thing you need to know is that the box of clay usually has a label with the name of the clay plus "cone" and a number. Ex. I use English Porcelain #365 - Cone 5 or 6. This means that I can fire the clay to cone 5 or cone 6 which is about 2165 degrees F without the clay melting. When my clay reaches that temperature and starts to cool back down, the clay goes through a process of what they call "vitrification" which means the clay becomes rock and is not porous any longer. It is waterproof. It would be nice if potters just used specified what actual temperature things were cooked to but they use the terms "cone" instead . Before there were modern thermal gauges to measure temperatures, they way they measured temperature was by using tested pieces of clay that they figured out would melt at certain stages. they made cones out of them and to this day potters still purchase those cones and put them in their kilns on the different shelves to measure the temperature. They can look in the kiln peep holes and see if what cones have melted and tell how far along the firing is.
So back to what I was talking about, when the clay is not fired at all it is called greenware. While the clay is in the greenware stage is when I like to decorate it with "underglazes" (underglaze is different than glazes as it consists of coloring metals -and other materials that do not result in a glassy surface) . Other people may or may not decorate in the greenware stage
You have to wait until the greenware is TOTALLY dry before you can put it in a kiln to be cooked (in potters speak, we call that "fired"). this stage of the clay is called Bone Dry and the clay is very fragile. .... My first firing in the kiln I dont want to fire it all the way to maturity
My goal is to cook the clay hot enough so it becomes rigid but also remains porous. So I do the first cooking (firing) to a lower temperature...about 1945 degrees F (also called cone 04). When that cools down, now the clay is rigid enough so that I can handle it for glazing and the clay is still porous so it can absorb the glaze. Now I can glaze it with a recipe of natural materials, metal colorants and also material that will make the coating glassy and with care, the piece wont break . When the glaze is dry, I can fire it a second time up to its full maturity to cone 5 ( 2167 degrees F) and I like it to stay at that temperature for a bit (about 6 minutes) to make sure the particular glaze I am using melts (glazes also have a recommended temperature that they need to be fired to). I hope this helps Ann
@@annruel1982 thank you, Ann. Your explanation helps a lot. The fact that you make a complex process looks simple is a testament to a good teacher. Again, thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world.
Did you do it all on green ware? Can you do it on bisque ware?
Hi Diane. I did it all on greenware but I bet you can do it on bisque as well. I just like to do it on greenware because if I made a mistake, I can clean it up a lot easier when the clay hasnt been fired yet. Give it a try.
What are the rubber tipped tools used for?
Hey Terri. I was trying to figure that out too. The booklet indicated that if you made marks with that white pencil on some of those black canvases that the kit provides the rubber tipped tools would wipe those marks away like an eraser. Im thinking that I can use them on my clay like when attaching a handle and I am trying to smooth over the seams. I plan on using it for that 🙂
These are also used with acrylic paint. The easiest effect to get with it is drawing thinner lines into a layer of wet paint or glaze. You can make petals, feathers, fish scales, pinecones, and all kinds of windy swirls, including through multiple colors of paint/glaze. These rubbery 'brushes' can also press shaped indentations into wet clay.
Your video is very nice sister please tell me in Hindi full process what is Glaze full process in Hindi glazed
Hi Gojoanime. Thank you very much for the kind words and for watching. I really dont know Hindi, but I can try and use a translator app...जब टुकड़ा ग्रीनवेयर चरण में था तब मैंने अंडरग्लेज़ के साथ सारी डिज़ाइनिंग और सजावट की। फिर मैंने टुकड़ों को 1945 डिग्री फ़ारेनहाइट पर बिस्क किया। मैंने अमाको सी-11 क्लियर ग्लेज़ (एक व्यावसायिक ग्लेज़) की तीन परतों पर ब्रश किया। फिर मैंने इसे 2167 डिग्री फ़ारेनहाइट पर फिर से जलाया और भट्ठी को 6 मिनट के लिए उस तापमान पर रखा रहने दिया। मैंने भट्ठे को प्राकृतिक रूप से ठंडा होने दिया। आशा है यह मदद करेगा।
jab tukada greenaveyar charan mein tha tab mainne andaraglez ke saath saaree dizaining aur sajaavat kee. phir mainne tukadon ko 1945 digree faarenahait par bisk kiya. mainne amaako see-11 kliyar glez (ek vyaavasaayik glez) kee teen paraton par brash kiya. phir mainne ise 2167 digree faarenahait par phir se jalaaya aur bhatthee ko 6 minat ke lie us taapamaan par rakha rahane diya. mainne bhatthe ko praakrtik roop se thanda hone diya. aasha hai yah madad karega.
