It is a great idea but the colour selection is lacking vibrant pastels & neon pastels! 😅 I’ve always been disappointed with the selection of pottery paints every time I’ve taken a class or done it at camp. Like why is there always red & peach & nude but never PINK?!?! 😫 👀 k I’m done 🙈
That’s because they don’t really exist! Essentially a lot of colours don’t hold up in the extreme temperatures of the kiln firings. These are as extreme as they kind of get without mixing and changing the colours up. It’s really frustrating, but neons don’t work and vibrant pastels need to be custom mixed but even then you can unbalance the pigment chemistry and it can still not be nice. If you would like to paint something in pastels it’s best to do something non functional where it can be sculptural and use an acrylic paint instead
I just think it is cool that you dip into the glaze & it looks like you have covered all the colors with white, but they come out shiny with bold, bright, and beautiful colors. 🎉😮🎉
Glazes do be like that. I've been taking ceramics this school year, and hoo boy the glazes get weird. (So many people were using tenmoku (a really dark brown-ish color) at the end of this semester, that the floor was absolutely covered in red dust from the red iron oxide used to make the glaze. And the iron oxide is like impossible to remove from clothes and other pieces if you accidentally touch them)
Coat tiles are so helpful! Whenever I’ve gone to a place to paint pottery, they don’t have that and I don’t always put enough coats to get the look I want.
I was an art student when I was in college. These color swatches are just very satisfying to my brain. It reminds me of a color theory class project. ❤
I am a big time pastel girl, ever since I could remember and your videos and all the colour palettes bring instant soothing to my eyes. When I was in my teen and pre teen days, I would always want pastel frocks and skirts, but unfortunately where I grew up bright colours were popular and in demand and getting pastels were difficult! But now, here I am able to fulfil all my pastel dress dreams! Love from Sydney
my daddy used to bring me to a pottery studio caller Glazed Over. it was one of our favorite things to do together! this video reminds me of that studio. they even had gift cards made out of tile!
I used to work at a ceramic painting place (kids bday parties/camps/etc.) and we had swatch plates and they are SOOO helpful. I quite miss being able to sit and paint samples for the wall
You are so clever Shelby, very helpful and somehow also cute... How come everything you make ends up being cute? Magnetic glaze samples and a dotted plate!
This is brilliant. The first time I painted a pot the colors confused me so much I just accepted that pastel was the only option so I changed all of my plans for my piece to accommodate a muted product and then WHAM was I wrong - but the sadness was there was no do over.
I desperately wish I could have a resource like your new studio here near me in the states, you have thought so deeply into the creative process in offering all of these swatches
Am I the only one who likes the muted pastel colors before pottery gets cured? I’d be soo happy with my creation even if it was muted, I always loved muted colors.
THANK YOU!! I always struggled with pottery because I'm a very visual person, and if I can't see what the color will look like after so I know what I'm going for, I get incredibly anxious, especially since I work primarily digitally. Having these would actually help so much encouraging me not to be afraid of the final result
I’d sculpted some porcelain flowers once, and I was using a water color like under glaze that hadn’t be used before. I thought it was getting a lovely magenta color, and after the firing it turned bright blue! It’s still lovely, but it was quite a surprise! Color swatches are so useful, because what you see is not always what you get!
Color swatches are so helpful for pottery. I really like the idea of the tiles with the additional coats.

@@MissEddieBlueKawaiiKraftsshe explained it, hopefully you saw her comment x
@@ShelbySherrittcan someone explain what non functional and sculptural mean in pottery?
Are you in the uk??

I wish there are more pastels. I love how pottery looks pre-fired and then it's all so BRIGHT afterwards. These are helpful and beautiful!

This looks amazing im so excited for you!!! Im a new subbie! ❤
That's so wonderfully practical 😊
Having color swatches was one of the most helpful things in my ceramics class in highschool. Idk how I'd color my pieces right without it.
my daddy used to bring me to a pottery studio caller Glazed Over. it was one of our favorite things to do together! this video reminds me of that studio. they even had gift cards made out of tile!
So helpful to be able to really see the colours and clever to have the cross reference between the colour swatch plates and the tiles
Wonderful idea! I wish my art teacher did this, could have done it like a project
Showing the different number of coats is genius, haven’t seen this anywhere around me
I used to work at a ceramic painting place (kids bday parties/camps/etc.) and we had swatch plates and they are SOOO helpful. I quite miss being able to sit and paint samples for the wall
The vibrancy change in the colours before and after firing is mind blowing!😂
Ya reminded me of my mom’s ceramic studio!! Bless her soul! Thank you. ❤❤
LOVE this. Anything that is aesthetic AND pratical is the best !!
You are so clever Shelby, very helpful and somehow also cute... How come everything you make ends up being cute? Magnetic glaze samples and a dotted plate!
These will be so helpful to your customers.
It’s always so impressive when people can paint words and numbers as neatly as this on pottery.
I’m just starting my own studio and you are such a huge inspiration! You are so happy and full of joy and talent! You go girl! ❤

Beautiful!
So pretty! The vibrancy is beautiful 💕💕
The colors are looking good 😍😍

This makes me so happy. These are also aesthetically beautiful. I really love how the plates with circles look
They look so cute!!
The colors before firing are so relaxing and beautiful. After they’re vibrant like a little surprise 😊❤
the plate looks so good it could be a design in itself not just a swatch 🔥 💯
That's very thoughtful of you❤🥰
Am I the only one who likes the muted pastel colors before pottery gets cured? I’d be soo happy with my creation even if it was muted, I always loved muted colors.
I prefer the muted version too
This is awesome! It makes my brain so happy to see the details and organisation of it all.

I have a similar attraction where I’m from it’s called accidental artist, I made a plate there, and they show a similar palette system
I love how the colours you chose are still in your style! ❤😂

That is so interesting. The colors came out really vibrant
This is what I needed when I was in pottery class in highschool. I had no idea what colors I was glazing and adding.
It’s pretty 😍
Oh wow 🤩 that color popped!
Gorgeous!! I would use those just as dinner plates 😁
One of the most helpful things I’ve ever seen.
That's a very clever idea. I'm very happy for you. If I ever get to the other side of the planet, I would love to visit
Brilliant idea
I love your dedication to the work behind the art.
Great idea!
Those are so awesome! It was very considerate of you to make them, and they look great 😄
Brilliant idea Shelby.
Brilliant idea ❤
