I know it would require longer lengths of wire, but as I watched your video, I wondered why a person couldn’t just drape wire over a horizontally supported length of kiln furniture and put hooks on both ends of the wire. I have been throwing pots for 46 years, but have yet to hear about your other wire material. I only know nichrome. So thanks for that, Janis. I’ll check it out.

I know what I'll be doing as soon as I get back into the open studio! Our facilitator is going to flip over this idea. No more damaged pin supports and no more smooshed glaze on my pieces! Thank you! Thank you! Thank You!

Lots of great ideas and lessons in this video.

@tamarawheeler3627 3 года назад

Thank you, THANK YOU! I've been needing a way to mid-range fire heavier ornaments and this is the first that looks strong enough to hold the ornaments!

@karlkalbaugh5550 10 лет назад

Thanks for explaining this, Janis! After seeing you make the pendants, I wondered how you were going to glaze fire them.

@suzykomar2343 10 лет назад

Great idea for pendants with high temp wire in them. I'll definitely use this technique if I make this kind of pendant. Thanks Janis.

@Christinecherylceramics 10 лет назад

What a great video. Thank you for your insight.

@angieb.877 10 лет назад

Excellent solution! I don't have an extruder like that, and my Shimpo doesn't have dies like that. You solution does give me a good starting point, though! Thank you for sharing!

@EDDYABUTRES 10 лет назад

Waiting for the splash pan to arrive. It's used so I had time to go over all the wires, clean it, etc.... Can't wait :-)

@SReeves337 10 лет назад

OUTSTANDING. Once again thank you for another great idea.

@silvinapinal2949 3 года назад

I just see this video. Thank You so much for such a bright idea! Thank you!

@8pprentice 6 лет назад

great tip...i love the pendants im going to have to get some ni chrome wire and try it out

@samanthamcinnis5388 7 лет назад

thank you so much! I just ordered the wire! I have pineapple ornaments that need to be glazed on all sides and this is perfect!!!

@EvolutionStoneware 7 лет назад

Samantha McInnis I hope they turn out to be perfect! :)

@SReeves337 10 лет назад

OH yes, the newspaper bag was a super bonus.

@miniflores6573 7 лет назад

beautiful pendants

@angieb.877 10 лет назад

In the best tradition of make do , make up, or do without, I made some bisque dies!

@steviefr7870 5 лет назад

That is a great idea. I just started attending a pottery group and want to make pendants and perhaps I can make this for our group.

@EvolutionStoneware 5 лет назад

It's been 5 years, & I'm still using these same ones! They're very handy to have. One tip is to put more hooks on the opposite side of the tube & flip them every other firing so the clay doesn't sag over time.

@steviefr7870 5 лет назад

@@EvolutionStoneware thank you so much for your reply. Our craft center has the extruder so now it's time to use it. Thank you so much.

Very beautiful! Well done.

@EDDYABUTRES 10 лет назад

Let me ask...... When you insert the wire on the leather hard piece, the shrinkage of the clay drying plus the biscuit firing will hold the weight....? .... Does not look like over kill,,, Very well planed on my view ... Just got the brent in the basement today,,,, can't wait to get it going....flower pots is the demand from my friends, so I guess that's what I will do first, but the pendants have so many possibilities that I will have to find a way... Kkkkkk . Best regards and thanks for sharing once again dear....

@EvolutionStoneware 10 лет назад

Thanks Edison! Sorry it has taken a while for me to respond. You are right, when the clay shrinks in firing it holds the wire tight so it can easily support weight. Have you and your Brent filled the basement full of pots yet???? :)

Nice hand made Christmas Tree Ornaments. >:) red, blue, green, white, multi

@jennamichelephotography1755 2 года назад

What if we don't own an extruder? Just handbuild the general shape?

@EvolutionStoneware 2 года назад

Yes, you could wrap a slab around a paper towel tube or a broom handle, remove the tube or handle, and tap your clay tube flat along one side at soft leather hard..

Questo suppprto a cilindro è in argilla ? Se volessi crearlo dove trovo lo stampo? Grazie e complimenti per le tue creazioni

@naomistroud7423 8 лет назад

Thank you ..... nowhere can I find information about the glazing of beads ......

@EvolutionStoneware 8 лет назад

You're welcome! I'm glad this helped. :)

@texastx8247 5 лет назад

Great Video and idea! I am attempting to make some of these but I have a hand extruder so I cant make the size hollow hexagon clay piece you have.. Do you think if I shorten the post the wire goes in so not as much weight will be on it... though it will be smaller in diameter than yours that it will still work?

@EvolutionStoneware 5 лет назад

I do think it will still work. Very good idea on making them shorter.

@mckennasit 10 лет назад

LOVE your videos.....what do you do with the pendants?

@EvolutionStoneware 10 лет назад

Thanks a bunch Michael! They make great ornaments or necklaces or you could use it as a pendulum.

@franzantube 6 месяцев назад

Ojalá tuviera un extrusor!

@createniks 10 лет назад

Awesome. Not fun seeing your support bar shaped in a U and everything coated in kiln wash.

@tren6195 3 года назад

do you use the same 17 guage kanthal wire for the bead?

@EvolutionStoneware 3 года назад

Yes you can. You can also use a lighter wire on the bead, and it'll work fine.

@tren6195 3 года назад

@@EvolutionStoneware thank you so much! By lighter wire, do you mean a higher gauge, or a different material?

@mrsbeckydaisy 5 лет назад

I was just wondering how the hooks stayed in the post? what holds them tightly in there stopping them from just sliding out? Seems like you would have to put them in there with a hook on both ends.

@EvolutionStoneware 5 лет назад

The clay shrinks around the wire and holds them in very tightly. I've used the same hangers for many years now, and the wire is super tight.

@mrsbeckydaisy 5 лет назад

Thanks. Good to know.

@jacobaccurso 10 месяцев назад

@@EvolutionStoneware that was my question. I’m glad I took the time to scroll through and re-search the comments. I’m making Christmas ornaments.

@katefreemantle6478 6 лет назад

what temp did you take the kiln to for these?

@EvolutionStoneware 6 лет назад

kate freemantle I fired mine to the vitrification temperature of the clay I used which is a Cone 6 Stoneware - 2232°F.

@outdatedthrowawayaccount5629 8 лет назад

What are the supports made from in order to last multiple firings? I ask cause I want to make charms using this hanging technique. =)

@EvolutionStoneware 8 лет назад

if you mean the clay tube portion, I used a cone 6 stoneware clay. I use the set up to fire glazed pendants to cone 6. if you want to avoid sagging in the tube, put hooks on opposite sides so you can rotate the tube on alternate firings.

@outdatedthrowawayaccount5629 8 лет назад

+EvolutionStoneware thanks. C=

@jedijohnjohn8663 6 лет назад

What type of clay did you use for the Extrusion?

@EvolutionStoneware 6 лет назад

JediJohnJohn I used a cone 6 white stoneware from Highwater Clays called Little Loafers. It is one of my primary studio clays.

@jedijohnjohn8663 6 лет назад

That is the clay I am using in the studio currently. I was concerned about the clay sagging through the maturing process.

@DawnWhitehand 8 лет назад

What sort of wire did you use to put into the actual pendant please :-)

@EvolutionStoneware 7 лет назад

There's a link for the wire in the video description. :)

@DawnWhitehand 7 лет назад

EvolutionStoneware so the wire you used as the loop in the beads was the same thickness as the wire used to hang the beads for firing?

@EvolutionStoneware 7 лет назад

Dawn Whitehand Yep, that's what I did here. You can use thinner wire if you want as long as it's high temp. I stick to wire from pottery suppliers like Kemper to avoid any issues.
