Pro Tips for Potters #3 with Bill Powell

This video takes you threw the separate ring and collection tray method I use for collecting the glaze run off from Crystalline Glazes utilizing a raw clay gasket to prevent glaze contamination between the foot of the pot and the sacrificial ring. I also have a photo sequence and instructions on my Facebook page. Here is a link to that . bill.powell....

For those that want to experiment with Crystalline glazes, this is a great video and explained in `great detail`.
I still have the Crystalline vase you gave to me Bill, it's always on display here.
Thank you.
Stay safe and well.

Oh oh oh !!! Thank you so very much for this video. It has been so frustrating to loose almost every pot that I quite trying even though I enjoy crystalline immensely. The instructor we had never gave any information to us other than how's he's always done it with the expectation that you won't get many good pots with no cracks, foot defaults, or ones that can never get off the catcher without cutting it off with a grinder. It was just too much work for so little reward.
I'm so excited to start the new semester (although just got an email saying on campus classes will now only be on line again after just having our first in-class semester in the past year and a half - so it throws a kink into the mix). I wish I could jump through the screen snd give you a hug - that's how excited and appreciative I am - sharing your years of experience has renewed my excitement to give Crystalline a go again and I am confident with your advice, I'm going to have many successes to build upon and grow.
Your style of presentation was easy to follow, thorough, and visually presented excellently
Thank you - thank you ❤️

Excellent video. Thanks for sharing. Look forward to next one to see release from rings.

[@bpartnd]

Coming soon!

[@iriscook7997]

Thanks a lot!! Clear and comprehensive - also for crystalline newbie!

[@bpartnd]

Glad it was helpful!

[@bevmcgarn174]

Thanks so mu,ch for this generous video

[@billwrightx]

Discovered your channel today. Thanks for sharing so much information. Do you have information on the actual glazes and corresponding firing schedules?

[@tompots2]

Thank you... well explained

[@bpartnd]

You are welcome

[@yatteyattahpottery]

Thank Bill this would even work with once fired pots

[@bpartnd]

Yes Kees and pleased to hear that your back at your own home. All the best Bill

[@Galleri-Mindedahl]

Hi bill. Will you make a video about the last part of the process? You say you will in the video here but i cant find a number #4?

[@emmalouize]

Hi Bill, just discovered your channel. Thank you for the great content. I love this technique. Kate Malone uses a disc underneath to collect her glaze run off too but I would have to say your technique is so much better! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Just went to watch the follow up video but there doesn’t appear to be one? Would love to learn more about your ring removal and the crystalline glazes. You have a wonderful teaching technique. And your pots are amazing!!! The crystals you achieve are absolutely phenomenal ❤️ lots of love from NZ.

Hi Emma, yes I haven't gotten to the follow up video. Most of it is shot but I've launched my school [ CeramX ] extension in the last few months and have been heavily distracted. I will get onto it Cheers

[@bpartnd]

Hi Emma. I've actually fimed the follow up removal video. I'll get it out very soon. It has been something I've meant to do for so long. Cheers

[@emmalouize]

@@bpartnd yay 😁 so exciting!!! Thank you so much 👍

[@bettygreiser2919]

Great video! Can the stoneware slip be a cone 6?

[@daavq]

Very interesting! Thank you for this. Does the ring separate without effort or do you need to cut through the glaze?

[@bpartnd]

I'll cover the whole release process in the next video but no, you don't need to cut it off. Cheers

[@xm3364]

Hello Sir. Can this method be applied to Stoneware/ Earthenware glazes? I always wonder how there are perfect glazing which cover the entire wares out there...Can you demonstrate the whole process please? Many Thanks in advance :-)

[@missmoneypenny9501]

Still waiting for the video on popping off the rings & tray!

[@bpartnd]

Yes Sorry , Must get to that

[@BilliePosters]

use a blow torch then tap gently but sharply with a hammer

[@Jennelle1958]

Are you married?

[@kevinjamiesonbelou]

Audio is garbage. Can’t hear a thing

[@bpartnd]

That's strange Kevin. It sounds fine when I play it.

[@nancyhardison5050]

@@bpartnd I can hear you and I can turn captions on if I need. Thank you so much for sharing your techniques! I am riveted and will be watching from your first post.
