From throwing to finish glazing, the complete process explained and portrayed in this video. Tricks of the trade, sizes and weights of clay and a complete glazing lesson to boot.
It was fun to see the tea bowls in the background 😊 and guess what, they arrived today! They are just gorgeous 🥰 And again thank you for a great video!!
I know I have responded before, but I wanted to let you know that this video taught me to make the saucer for a planter pot I made for my sister. Thank you!
When we moved here it seemed natural to develop images that are around us, I think Devon and Cornwall would inspire the same creative spirit. On vertical surfaces it is hard to do so I dip using three glazes only, although I can then use foam sponges to add elements of landscape.
Wonderful process video and I enjoyed the casual conversation, like a fireside chat. Was wondering if you glaze the back of the rims following the front glaze pattern or just one glaze? The plates are beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
Yes I do glaze the back of the rims. I turn them upside down on a banding wheel and use a hake brush with the oatmeal glaze. Thanks for the compliments.
Blessings in an abundance of the faith. I salute you. 😘🙏👣🎚️🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍 Grace and peace be unto you and to this place. Thank you for this teaching. Thank you for your guidance through this technique. What it made me think of was the process of being on the wheel inside the wheel in the hands of the potter. As a new Christian even, the process. This helps me with forgiveness and refinement and to know how to keep the faith. This is wondrous to me. I appreciate it. Will you believe and receive Jesus Christ as your lord and personal saviour??? I do. God is good all the time. 🌈🙏
Your plate throwing tutorials the best . Thank you for your generosity in teaching . I like working according to measurements as Im a beginner . The three important ones for me are thickness of the plate (gathered its 5mm), distance rim from bottom at first throw (gathered that is 1cm) and weight clay medium size plate (this one I couldn’t figure - would you say 800 grams?)
I use 2200gms for a dinner plate, then I have a 9 inch plate 700gms and a 7 inch 500gms plate . Those are guesses because I do not weigh my clay, I divide my clay bags 16 pieces from 10 kilos for the 9 inch plate, and 22 pieces for the 7 inch plate.
As with everyone else, thank you for taking the time and effort to carefully explain your process. I love the effect developed by your pouring action with the glazes. My question is: how do you deal with the small amount of glaze that runs around to the bake side of the plate? I noticed it on the plate you were showing us. Thanks for taking to the time to consider and answer my simple question!
Thank you for the link to this video. I haven’t attempted throwing a plate yet. I’m still trying to recover from Covid and regain enough strength to start throwing again. In the mean time I’ve been hand-building. I loved watching this glazing technique. It’s amazing to me the quantity of work you’re able to produce. Out of curiosity how long have you owned your studio and showroom? Did you start off smaller scale working from your home or out of a shared studio? As always I appreciate you and all the knowledge you share. Stay healthy! 😊
@@Vsmithpots I think people would really enjoy hearing all about how you got started, how long it took to get to a comfortable place and definitely how you market. That would be great. 😊
I hope.you have your strength back. It sure is a rough virus! Don't over do it too soon. Good questions, I would like to watch that video also. I bet it will sure be a lot of work to create. Vaughn is so generous with his videos and teaching. I think he is the only one who responds to pretty much everyone.
Good reminders and pointers throughout. Love the results Vaughan. Was the first glaze you poured on transparent? This morning I am single firing the first four test tiles in the Paragon. I extruded 72 and used Iron Lustre as the base for the first lot of 18 with other glazes going on as second coat. Hoping they come out well. I have used a piece of PVC to flatten out plates I have made in the past and will give that a break and use your method the next time around. Your videos always have guid instruction and are easy to watch during breakfast. Drinking my water out of your tea bowl and my tea out of a mug from Potter's Journal by Jeff Kohut.....Life IS grand!
Fantastic!! Another super informative video. I watched it twice because you really are a wonderful instructor. Do you glaze the back of the plate or back of the rim of the plate? Thank you again.
please tell me where you purchase your clay. How wonderful to see a Canadian potter sharing and educating us. Can you give us more info please on where you purchase your product/slip, clay, tools
Good idea, I have found the clay builds up in them over time too. I use the large harp with a guitar wire stretched across, it leaves almost no clay on the bat.
I have never measured. I make them as thin as I can without the rim collapsing. My guess is the flat part of the plate is 5ml, when I cut through with my guitar strung harp I can see the wire cutting through.
Crawling is a glaze fit problem. It can also be caused by dirt or grease on the pot when you glaze it, also glaze applied too thick or has too much clay in the glaze formulae.
