Ann--- As usual a great combination of useful ideas and video production. I often wondered if human hair might replace horsehair...Now we ALL know! Thanks, Ann.
The pine needle basket weave. thanks Emily. Some people use the ponderosa pines needles but we have the long leaf pines down here in Florida. They are pretty .
Lovely lovely! Great marriage of pottery and basketry, I made it many years ago when I got allergic to gourds:) I got the urge again seeing your video😄🙏🏻🕊💐
This is wonderful, always stuff out back that will keep our minds working. I am having difficulty with getting the Great White Egret to come close enough for me to take an impression of it's beak tip. It was also not a fan of getting close to a hot pot to leave a hot impression of a wing feather. I realize more thought will have to go into this. Your work shared by a great cinemaphotographer is very beautiful and always inspirational. Thanks for sharing.
Great video as always Ann. I especially loved the woven long pine needles and always have wanted to try this. Do you think you can do a more detailed video?
Its a little outside of what we are currently working on but there are lots of good vids like this one out there: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YfWoYF2Kfg8.html
Interesting question...we're not sure but we're adding it to our list of potential future experiments. If you decide to try it, please share your findings!
I think as long as you follow the safety guidelines we mention (turned off, fire extinguisher, safety wear etc..) its OK to do so. But, not for the faint of heart. BE CAREFUL!
Can you make a tutorial on the first one? I always thought you cannot open electric kilns while firing because it’s not good for the kiln.... Does is also work with ~1240• degree? Was the lot glazed or naked?
We’re not experts in Raku (the first method) but we may invite an expert to help us do a more complete tutorial in the future. Our engineers in the research lab have determined that opening the kiln while hot is not harmful...again, we are not experts in kiln construction and I would refer you to your kiln manufacturer for more detail. Our engineers agree (84% anyway) that you should get a decent result at 1240 degrees F. The pottery was naked (no glaze) on it...and by the way NEVER open your kiln naked!
Hi Mary, For my custom work I always paint with Amaco underglazes. You can see how I use them in the Underglaze Painting 101 Video. Thanks for watching!
