"If you you made it this far..." Who can resist this highly addictive format? The excellent craftmanship, the softspoken flood of information, the awesome editing and then on top of all witnessing the breath taking results of hard work and meticulous execution. Humble mastery instilling the wish to become an artisan myself. Simply inspiring.
I didn't realise you col repair pinholes in the glaze by re-firing with some more glaze over them. I had this problem with a couple of pots in my last firing so I'll give that a go. Useful information - thank you!
Love your videos. This one about your firing schedule is just amazing. Keep the good work and the pieces look superb. And it always hit me the number of details a potter has to endure from the wheel to the unloading. Not easy.
Thanks Jorge! Potters really are masters of many skills, jack of all trades? Well, perhaps not, I'm a much better maker than I am a chemist, I wish I knew more about glazing and all the intricacies!
Wonderful. I noticed the difference in the cones sitting on top of your kiln. A lot more consistency on the right side. I use Advancer shelves - same as your new shelves. They save our backs.
Thank you so much again for your generosity in sharing your craftsmanship with these great videos. I would love to see a video about your process of developing a new glaze and how you make your test tiles.
First, congratulations on another sold out shop in minutes. Second, a potentially unforeseen safety issue in your practice-The Henry hoover is possibly not rated for fine glass dust filtration and therefore could be blowing the dust back into the air you are breathing. You ought to have a LEV 03 certified vacuum for this work I believe. I know how seriously you take dust control so hope this helps.
Pleased to hear so! I'll make a more thorough video about my glaze testing soon and about the whole process really but I think I need to upgrade my computer soon, storage wise, that's literally what's holding me back from making more detailed, longer videos, but then again, maybe short and sweet is best, I don't know! Thanks for watching!
My god, the level of perfections are huge and insane! Hahaha! Don't worry, I have an OCD or perfections too 😁 My god the intensity! I keep biting my fingers! 😆
Would love to use some of those lightweight shelves myself. We have some 30mm thick old style ones and it nearly breaks my fingers placing them on the props. Do you need to flip them over each firing so they don't warp ? Good stuff.
They’re amazing things. I can’t stand the old heavy ones, they can be a nightmare to slide into the kiln. These SIC shelves can withstand being fired to 1400°c, so they don’t warp whatsoever, which is a joy. The shelf industry is a bit mad in the UK, like you might know. It’s a monopoly and the guy doesn’t want to import these sorts of shelves, perhaps because they do last people their lifetimes as opposed to the others than need replacing rather a lot. I’ve heard some good things about a shelf supplier in France. Anyway, can’t recommend these SIC shelves enough, they’re a bit pricy but worth every penny in terms of ease of use and their sturdiness.
Ah good to know - I thought I had figured it out. Let me see what I can do for future videos. Annoyingly I think ads always have the volume up at the highest it can be just to grab your attention!
@@floriangadsby yea I also think the audio colud be just a little bit louder but not much, it would give up the calm feeling of the video. Anyways love your videos man, have a good day!
Before anyone watch any videos including his, what I did usually is muted the volume, wait until the first ads ended (or click Skip Ads) and then scroll the red bar thing, from start of the video until near the end of the video, few seconds before the video ended. And there you go! And click replay again and increase the volume back! Good luck and happy watching! 😀
Well, supposedly the more dense the pack the easier it is to achieve reduction, but it was just as packed previously with the last shelves too. It fires quicker with thin shelves though! Which is a bonus.
I've seen the hours of work and dedication to each and all products you make but after checking the website... 50 pounds for a cup will make it difficult for most people to afford. I know quality and handmade items are more expensive but...
