Carving On Pottery - New Diamond Core Tools 

❤robin hopper published a book on glazes. Check that also out of the library. Also ceramics monthly has some over the years. Slips are a good way to layer glazes for good effect. Usually they are simple recipes. You might as well get slip recipes from the masters. Make great pottery, Mathew Kelly will teach you the best about forming. Robin Hopper has a slip recipe as well that will also go over bisque. He was voted on of the top ten living potters, by Americans, although he was a Canadian.sadly he passed from Cancer.

Lucky you, all those diamond core tools! 😍

Love the ad lib carving!

It's so much easier to carve when the piece is on a piece of foam and on your lap, but if the bottom is still too soft your better off on the wheel.

Just got my diamond core tools, so grateful you made this video. Have a great day!

Thank you

These tools are game changers! I absolutely LOVE them!!!

Great techniques & love the Rhythm. Good job young man.!! Jim wolf studios.👍

I absolutely LOVE everything you do and this video is another cool addition. Thank you for sharing and teaching. I love your sweet spirit.

Happy little flowers for happy little pots!

Beautiful video! Great carving tools! Thank you for the inspiration, really impressive work✨✨😍

Great job! You have just upped your already fantastic game!!! I can’t wait to see how they come after firing!

Love watching the master at work! Beautiful work.

The pottery whisper, happy little lines, beautiful little dots. I probably stop in next week got some friends coming in from Maryland and they want to visit seagove.

Very nice!

Never feel you need to apologise for imperfections as these emphasise the fact that the piece is handmade. I have been using DC tools for over a year now and they are fantastic for sgraffito and mishima carving. The jug designs are stunning in their simplicity, looking forward to seeing the finished result, if I can wait that long. Thanks Matt

They are beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

You have inspired me to do this also it adds alot to the pieces! Thanks again for sharing your beautiful work and ideas!👍💝👏‼

Well you did it again❗❤... I live 15 minutes from the factory here in El Cajon. I purchased the 6 piece carving set. I haven't had a chance to use them I've been watching videos. Thanks, your video was perfect timing..❗

I always have the curved look on my bowls and cups when I paint. Yhey were supposed to be straight. Now I can tell my students I meant for it to come out that way! Ha! ! Thanks. I really like your work.

Omg, I love the Bob Ross reference. Nice. :o)

Are you saying that these tools are monumentally better than the regular loop tools. WHY ARE THEY BETTER? ARE THEY SHARPER. DO THEY MAKE CURVES BETTER. DO THEY CAPTURE SMALL MOVMENTS. HAVE YOU DONE A VIDEO ON SLIPS? This is a real interest for me. Maybe do a side by side comparison with regular slip tools. I’m laughing at your confidence and mastery that you would experiment on such a lovely form. I wouldn’t take a chance on such a lovely vase because they are hard for me to make. But in the future I have plans so I’ll let you know how it goes.

Magnificent Matt, you really got me going now :) I've used slip but have never tried cutting through! Next time I'm in the studio I will definitely try this method. Thanks for sharing this `inspiring video` with us.

Great Video and excellent throwing Thank You for sharing

Awesome video as always!! Also loving the shirt!

Supporting you!!! Lovely pot!

Great video, it works to use underglaze instead of slip also.

I’d love some DC tools but I can’t justify the price because I’m not great at any type of artwork on pottery. I’ll keep practicing with my cheap tools! Thanks for another wonderful video..

Seeing your use of the DC tools is great, thank you. I’d love to buy a tshirt along w a piece of your pottery. Looking forward to their availability.

Another great video, but I was looking forward to your carving with the square tip….

I had just recently bought some tools from them too .thanks for sharing Yours came out really nice. I have some "stutter" marks from not carving into it with confidence but thats going away lol

Really looking forward to Wood Firing #3

Lovely

Great video thanks > Yes please. I would love to purchase one of your T shirts

Simply in love

Lets see them fired and glazed......share dude !

Do you have any videos about how you make your slip?

Big money tools....Nice !!!

Love the carving! That's so pretty. Is there a medium that you can use to practice designs on, like a bar of soap or a chunky candle? This was fun to watch and you did a great job!

HI Matthew, i have been watchin for alittle while now but less then a year but lovin yr work and yr so good coz of yr OCD.. and yr eye for perfection and yr ability to experimental side, to get the best out of clag,slip, tools, clag, firing, glazes etc I am studin yr videos while i am tryin to save to get my own wheel and kilm and i qm tryin to find where i can get good clag coz i want to make my own dinner plates bowls and mugs and kitchen wares..etc so with the slips u r using for colour bases and decorations, is that only clag or have u mixed other things in it..

Beautiful! I’ve been wanting to try this and actually have a few of the Diamond Core tools, but I don’t know how to make the slip in the traditional colors like you use. Is there a resource with recipes for slip?

Did you post a video on results of those carvings? I’m curious

Well done. Beautiful accents to beautifully thrown pots. Is your white 3D slip something you’ve shared?

Would you share where you get your square batts?

Glad they at least partially sponsored those great tools, otherwise we might have had to get you out of the “doghouse” from spending so much money on new toys, lol! Have fun!

❤
