A perfect technique for your good lookin' face mugs! Thanks for showing this neat technique. Your cute DIY comment made me laugh. Very nice stuff! Thanks!
The thing that I, and my students loke about oxide washes is, they are pretty forgiving (Both in regards to the water/ oxide mixture and application). If you use too much, just wipe it off. Not enough, add more.
I sell on my own website now through seasonal restocks. The next one is this Friday at noon EDT. I haven’t made any face mugs in a while. I need to but can’t find the time.
Hello Matthew, if you could you share with me the cone (temperature) you set to fire the red iron oxide face mugs that would be awesome. Thank you. Jane
I use advancer kiln shelves so nothing really sticks to them anyway. I’m not sure if they would stick at all with other shelves. I don’t think they would but can’t say for sure
@@MatthewKellyPottery Thanks. I need to make a few more mugs. I made one for my brother that's recovering from covid-19. I had the character smoking a cigar. He loved it.
I’m not sure about doing this on leather hard clay. The wash won’t have anything to soak into. Best possibility would be to figure out a way to do it on more dry greenware
So if you had to come up with a formula...amount of water verses amount of oxide, what would that look like? Like 1 cup of water and how many teaspoons/tablespoons of oxide. I tried this on a pot and sure did something wrong as after I wiped it back and fired in was crackled and stained where heavier. My % of oxide was way to high evidently. Help would be appreciated.

Has anyone tried firing an iron oxide washed pot at cone 6? Trying to figure our what the color is going to be like. Is it more a red-brown like the initial appearance of the iron oxide or a neutral brown like the one on the video?

You, young sir, are a fantastic teacher.
Thankyou for the demo. found it very informative
the face you uncle make when he see you across costco, hahaha.
This was cool to watch. It was as if their faces were emerging as you wiped them off. Thanks for sharing!

This is conveniently timed, Matthew- I just bought some Mayco black copper stone wash and am eager to try the wipe back technique. Thanks!
Thanks for the time and talent! Appreciated!
Thanks. Nice work. Good tutorial.

Thanks, this was very helpful!
This looks amazing. Thanks for sharing!
Haha that intro made me chuckle
Excellent! Thank you!
You pointed out your thumb print. Were you pinchin' his chubby cheeks like dear Aunt Martha used to do? 🤣
Amazing work-details… im new to oxyde, so thanks for sharing 🤩
I love your intro
Could you use that on dry clay before you bisque fire?
When using Oxide wash on the bottom of pieces can you then put it directly on the kiln shelf and not worry about ruining them?
Good video !
Literally, nice handy work! #Keepupthegreatwork
Funtastic Those faces are awesome.
Hi there! Just wanted to ask if you've ever put a clear glaze on top of the iron oxide wash? If so, did it affect the color in any way? 🙂
I want to know that too
Thank you so very much ❤
please make these moustachoid mugs tutorial
So can I mix the red iron oxide powder with wax resist and then splatter it on a pot and then put another glaze over it ?
Makes sense yes if you want brown splatter spots that won’t be glazed. Seems like a cool idea.
Hi Matthew, love your face mug, clicked on your Etsy shop link but it is not working
I sell on my own website now through seasonal restocks. The next one is this Friday at noon EDT. I haven’t made any face mugs in a while. I need to but can’t find the time.
Will this work in a low fire kiln? The kiln at my school only goes to about cone 2
Hello Matthew, if you could you share with me the cone (temperature) you set to fire the red iron oxide face mugs that would be awesome. Thank you. Jane
I fire them to cone 10-11 but you can fire them to mid range temp also. They won’t be as dark and maybe a bit more a orange/red but it will work.
Good morning! Did you you put a clear on top of the iron oxide ?
watched the video and trying to get the same look. what cone did you fire?
he mentions he goes to cone 11 but cone 6 can also be done
The iron oxide doesn't stick to the kiln shelves?
I use advancer kiln shelves so nothing really sticks to them anyway. I’m not sure if they would stick at all with other shelves. I don’t think they would but can’t say for sure
You don’t have to use the iron oxide wash on the bottom though. You could just do the sides of the piece.
@@MatthewKellyPottery Thanks. I need to make a few more mugs. I made one for my brother that's recovering from covid-19. I had the character smoking a cigar. He loved it.
Would love any comments regarding doing this on leatherhard as opposed to bisqueware for a single fire planter. Thanks so much 😊

@@MatthewKellyPottery thanks - sounds about right
Wish you'd included what they look like after firing!
Is there an example at the beginning

above in a comment reply he says mid range like cone 6 makes it redder 😊
