Ann, sure would be nice if you could just add the finished glazed pots in this video. Never could figure out how to view community section. You must have a reason for not including here. Hummm
came to say the same thing, i ll use this technique in one of my next pieces! i would probably use a simple translucent glaze to not overload it, since it might look busy but thats just me! thank you for this lovely idea
When making your slip, you might consider a few drops of sodium silicate or Darvan get the slip smooth without using as much water. That will reduce shrinking and any associated issues. I’m going to have to try this technique. I’m an admirer of the results.
Good idea John. Funny thing is that I thought I might have issues with the slip cracking off the piece especially since we had some time constraints and were drying it so fast, but there were no issues with it at all. Might be that I was using a porcelain clay. It makes a beautiful slip that is very forgiving. Give it a try ....and thanks for watching our video.
Thanks, Ann & Jim, for sharing these great ideas and techniques. I'll set up this project for my Saturday morning class. Maybe layers of blue and yellow for the Ukrainian people.
@@LittleStreetPottery We missed a week because of a snow storm so we are still moving them through the process. How can I share them here when they are finished?
These turned out really neat. Love this idea a lot. Hey Ann, I've been watching people use the diamond core handle tools for some awesome extruded looking handles. I would never pay the price for those but wondering, have you tried handles using just regular old trimming tools to do the same thing. I'd love to see your take on this. I've been doing some experimenting but would love to see your ideas for using this type of handle.
Hi Vicki. I have only seen one other company make carving tools for extruding handles. think it was Kemper but those handles were a bit narrow for what I was looking for. more teacup sized handles. If you are going for that size, those tools will work once you get the hang of how much pressure to use when cutting the clay. I havent tried any other tools for the extruding. It would be fun to look through my tools and see if there is one to try. Thanks for the idea :-)
I bought a set of 3 diamond core Extruder and was disappointed at the width of handle they produced. The tools were much smaller than they looked in the picture and adverts. They’re nice enough tools, but have gone back to using my extruder gun.

You are right Marilyn. I will have to get some mason stains. I used what I had in my studio and I have extra black underglaze that was given to me from one of my workshops. Cheers!
@@annruel1982 I would love to see the end results too! I would probably just do a clear glaze as they as too beautiful to cover up. Love the idea of mason stains too. In Europe we don’t have the same glaze types sometimes. Thanks!!
@@JM-oc3ty Hi JM. Nice to meet you. Thanks for letting me know that. It is hard to address every situation. If you want to see the final glazed pieces, click on the "Community section" of our RU-vid page, where we have posted the final shots. Thanks for posting :-)
@@LittleStreetPottery I would apply a clear glaze on the outsides and glaze the inside one of the colors that are on the outside. That’s probably more simple than what you like but that’s all I can think of lol.
Excellent video! I’ve always wanted to try this. You make it look almost easy! Does it help to throw a thinner pot in the beginning since you are adding on layers?
Hi Dar. Well, we carved away as much clay as we added so surprisingly most of the pieces were not heavy. I did have one that was heavy but I added a lot of layers to it. I would suggest to throw as usual. Good luck and thanks for watching
Wow I foundvthiscsoninteresting, thank you for sharing and is there anyway you could post what they look like when they are finished being fired. Again thank you
Beautiful! How would you smooth the rough edges without muddy'ing the colors? Usually a damp sponge works for smoothing sharpness of carving, but in this case, a damp sponge would smear the colors, right?
Hi Ann..so informative and unique. You are VERY generous sharing your ideas openly. May I ask: Was the the piece leatherhard when you began applying the black underglaze.. if not.. what stage of dryness would you place it? Did you put a clear glaze over the piece? Thank you.
Felicitaciones hermoso trabajo, quiero saber cómo es el secado de esta porcelana y que material es barro...soy Colombiana y recién empecé a seguir está pág, gracias por lo que me puedan colaborar.
Interesting to see this done on thrown pots. Here is an older recording of this done on slab built items. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ucjhHnwhAFk.html
If you can catch it when its pretty fresh I imagine you could do something with it. It would be colored of course because of the underglaze...we will have to put that on the list to experiment with - good idea!
Hi Brigitte. I did not try that because the value between the colors was so similar (the darkness or lightness of the colors) that I dont think your eye would have been able to note the difference between the layers. I think the stark white slip provides the high contrast so that your eye can appreciate the individual layers. I could be wrong, I just didnt experiment with that. Give it a try :-) ....and thank you for watching
@@annruel1982 The slip provides a thicker layer than underglaze (and much cheaper…have you tried staining the clay?) I’m a slip caster and use coloured clay all the time in my work. Black has high staining power, so you don’t need much.
@@daleglenny1133 Thanks for the great tips Dale. I would have stained some of the slip black if I had any black mason stain left. As it was, I did have a few bottles of black underglaze I scored from a workshop I did a while back, so I used what I had on hand for the video. You are right it would have been a lot cheaper, but I went for the time saver, haha. I will keep your tips in mind for next time
How about layering the underglazes in a random pattern of 2 different colors for the same layer? For instanceIf you use black red and yellow, draw an imaginary diagonal line around your piece. Then, use black on one half and Red on the other half. Your imaginary line could even be two diagonal zig zag lines. The next layer might be yellow all over. Then do Black and red again in approximately the oppossite areas. For example, where you placed black as layer #1, now place red, and vice versa. It does not need to be exact. Anyway, that is the idea I had.
Whoops sorry, Bill. Thanks for that correction. I wrote that script about 2am in the morning. You must have been the only one who turned up the volume on the video to catch that, haha. thanks for that!!!😄.
...although horizontal lines would have also worked on this project too. I will have to do an experiment with horizontal lines too. thanks for the idea
@@annruel1982 When I try and use those two words. ...horizontal ....vertical ...I still find my body thinking horizon of the sun setting ...and up rights of a ladder for vertical ... The concept did not come easy as a child learning english craziness.
Thats right. I remember talking to you on facebook. Im so sorry about. your problems. I hope you have ways to manage your situation. Bless your heart. Take care.
Thanks for responding! I’m wondering what it would look like if the cuts were circles in a pattern (e.g. a flower made of circles) and the pattern was on the vase only one or times, i.e. on opposite sides of the vase.
