Trying out my new studio WiFi for this live stream. I’m hoping for better quality during the stream and the subsequent views on YT. Today I’ll be throwing more coffee mugs for my gas kiln and chatting with you.
Do you utilize a damp box to keep your mugs from drying out too much before you can get all the handles on? That’s a LOT of mugs to handle! I struggle with handling only a few at a time! Thanks
Do you find that using one clay limits color with glazes. I find with a few different color clays there is a huge color difference that some are beautiful.
Just watched ... do you not trim your mugs at all? I do as relative newbie and your skills are masterful...it is all about timing so the mugs don’t get to dry before I put the handles on. Would love to not have to trim Is it all just practice so that I don’t need to trim at all? Love your video , so close so I can really see what is happening
Yes with time and practice you should be able to throw mugs without having to trim. Some designs will have to be trimmed but not the ones that I make. Keep practicing! - Matthew
I swear to god if another person in your videos asks what kind of clay you are using i'm going to loose it. Its two blends you cant get so don't worry about it
RU-vid notifications are not always the best. Sorry for that. I’ll try to start announcing on FB and IG when I go live, in case others like you may miss the YT notification.
