Hi, I'm Amanda 💜
I'm just an artist trying to find peace in the world. A Buffalonian living in the Oregon wilderness. A Mom of 2. Overly educated, but not in Art. Crafting professionally since 2005. I am always learning.
I'm currently a tie dye artist, and in the past I've been a fiber artist, from spinning yarn to sewing to pleated silk scarves and focused on dyeing and color theory. I have also been a jewelry artist, from chainmaille to polymer clay to electroformed copper to epoxy resin.
I love to cook gourmet food.
I have explored clay a few times in my life, but this time, I bought a kiln and started making videos! I love handbuilding and do not throw often on the wheel. I collect vintage slipcasting molds and I taught myself the process of creating with liquid clay.
Follow my journey as I explore cone 6 stoneware, inventing it as i go and learning from the internet. Combining the skills i learned from my mixed media past, experimenting like crazy, and making videos.

Great combos. My favourite was the blue vase. The wizard glazes were really interesting too. Where i the company based?♥️♥️
Hi thanks! it's located in portland oregon but I think i read she was traveling to sell in Australia this fall.
Loving the combo, with the crystals erupting through
Can you show the stamps sometime
Hi! Sure I will try and remember in my next video to show the stamps. Check out some of the work of ceramics by jas, she uses the same types of wooden stamps and makes great videos ☮️
Fun load! I loved the manatee, and the moth plate.
Beautiful!
Thankyou!
Enjoy your funky aesthetic!
Hi Amanda! I just found your channel and subscribed. Great stuff! You've possibly changed my mind on Enchanted Forest. I've not been able to get results from that glaze that I liked. Those crystal moon jars are sick! Love the combos. And thanks for showing how you do the crystals.
Hey Pat! Thanks for subscribing! I love enchanted forest but yeah you definitely gotta pair it with something good or layer it. What cone do you usually fire to? Lately I do a 5 because I think the results are a bit brighter, more colorful. Glad you enjoyed the Jars! I just got a crazy vision and had to make it in real life, I have a bunch more in process, adding the glazes takes 3 sessions usually so everything can dry correctly. I'm working on a longer version of the crystal making video but I think the short version sows it pretty well ☮️amanda
Those crystal moon jars are INSANE! So pretty.
Wow thank you so much sarah!
Yay! I haven’t even watched the video yet but wanted say welcome back!
❤
WELCOME BACK! I heard Lisa Finkle say that she saw something in a video of yours and I thought what the heck you’re video hadn’t come up on my feed so I had to go to your page. So glad she mentioned you! I LOVE the leaves in the dark clay!! The glaze looks amazing!! My gosh the moon jars are amazing!! The gloop really does amazing things. Wow! The running hot chowder jar is amaaaazing!! I love it!!! That mug that ran is amazing!! Thanks for the tutorial at the end. Can’t wait to see the long version. So glad to see you!!
Thank you Michelle! Glad to be back, it's slow but I keep it going 🎉 I did the tutorial on the end just for you, I knew you would want to see it. I'm going to try and glaze a batch of trees before Christmas so hopefully will have another opening soon 🤞 My family makes Christmas wreaths so this is our busy season. I have a few more of these Jars I'm going to glaze for next time too they are super fun to make❤
@@RedEftDesigns That’s so sweet of you! I really appreciate that. I can’t remember if you showed how you apply them to the base? Since they’re leather hard I had a hard time getting mine to stay stuck to the base. Looking forward to anything you post!!
Its verey greart tanks lam a potter from iran ❤️🧡👏✌️👍
Hi check out the kiln opening video that goes along with my short! We are so far away but connected by our love of pottery! ☮️☮️☮️
Hi Amanda! Nice to see you are back! Always loved your glaze combos and they are even more amazing❤ the glop glazes are stunning! Wish we had them here!
Hi Ellen! Thanks! Just over here thinking up more crazy combos!!!😊
@@RedEftDesigns oh wonderful! Cannot wait to see how that going to turn out!!
Amanda welcome back! So excited to see your opening. Those crystal jars are incredible! Love your glaze work as always!
Thank you Lisa! I'm just getting started again... Hope you had fun travelling!
Nice to see you again. Love your crystals.
Thank you Linda!!!
Thank you for sharing !! 💛❤️🔥🔥
You're welcome!! Have fun!
BEAUTIFUL 🤩!!
Yay, Amanda, you are back! Wow!...those moon jars! A-MAZ-ING! great kiln unload. So many interesting pieces. Personally, I prefer your version of frozen pond. I will try the one that is going around, but I like the look of your 'falls' better. I am definitely going to try that! Thanks, Amanda!
AGREED 😂
AGREED 😂
Hey Audrey, thanks so much! Maybe I'll call it "chowder falls"😂 or something falls⛲️ anyways that sounds good 👍 definitely try it tho, it always turns out good for me, but remember I do a cone 5 so maybe put something stable on the bottom if you do a 6 because look how far it ran! ☮️amanda
@RedEftDesigns Good name! Agreed! I will try the slow cool I always do and see how it comes out. Yup, cookies are in order for this one for sure! Thanks!
Congrats on the baby love the moon jugs and thanks for sharing the how to on the crystals
Thank you! Hope you're inspired to make something fun!!✨️
Hi Amanda! Amazing kiln opening! I love, love, love the crystal moon jars! Beautiful! I’ve been wanting to do some crystal mugs and goblets and have been making sprigs but your way looks a lot better! Am definately going to give it a try! Also love the cactus’s with the wizard and ritual glaze. Gorgeous! I have brown clay sea life plates ready to glaze and am thinking pearl white. Always a harder glaze decision when it brown clay and textured! Thanks so much for sharing your awesome combos!
Hi Karen thanks for your sweet words! I love crystals i could put them on everything! Pearl white on any brown clay is definitely a good choice! Wizard glaze is actually traveling to Australia this october to produce glazes there just for the season, so maybe you can get your hands on some with a reasonable shipping cost! ☮️amanda
@@RedEftDesigns oh how exciting!!!!!!
Such a cute mold 🤩 love the end result too 🤩
@laneyscraftingcreations431 thank you Laney!
That's a CLASSIC mold! Everyone loves those trees! I have never tried slip casting. I would like to try making the mold. Maybe next year. No time now. Thanks for sharing, Amanda!
Thanks Audrey I am trying to do a few more videos on my process but it all takes so much time. If I start now I will have a few ready for the season!
Hey ! Love the mold! I wish I had this one! It is so cute! I do have the bells but the Christmas tree is much nicer❤
Hi Ellen, thanks for watching! I know I'm going to be slow so I'm skipping right to the holiday trees 😉 I am trying to think of more videos I can make in the short amounts of time I have. 🌲😆
What other molds do you have alot of them? I have about 100 I think...
@@RedEftDesigns oh oeps!😬 I have I think 50 vases, pumpkins, skull mug, and some I did not even see yet. And also mother molds. Which I still have to make real molds of.. but you know, time and much nicer things to do🤪
@Ellen.s.atelier I bought most of my molds individually so I chose them all, but if you accept a big lot of them they are kind of like mystery molds! I try to get functional ware mostly, and nothing too cutesy! I like making my figurines by hand too
Nice boletus jar!
Uniquely different !!
Amazing vase with that glaze combo!-Liana
@@lianaholtochsner thank you liana!
Where did you find the mold for the little boxes? Thank you so much for sharing your work. I love it. So much talent!
@jeanmartin6410 Hi, I get most of my molds on ebay but they are mostly ooak so hard to find two of the same. Thanks for watching!
I was just thinking how you are doing! But I see you created something beautiful! Congratulation with your baby❤
@Ellen.s.atelier thank you! I am actually bisquing a load now so a new glaze video is on the horizon! My baby is so much fun 🎀
@@RedEftDesigns oh that is Nice to hear that your baby is fun! I have two girls, 15 and 18 now, love them💕 curious to see what comes out of the kiln! I am also making lots of stuff for my kiln, so hopefully it Will dry fast so I can put it in! I also share kiln openings if you want to Watch☺️
What is that dreadful noise in the background?
Your glazes are stunning! 😍🥰
Thank you so much!
OH my goodness woman! Greetings from upper Northern California!! I just found you! I'm a brand new newbie to all things clay ❤ I enjoy watching videos on building but I am so close to having enough for my first full load in my small kiln 🤞🏼 so I am just now starting to peek at some kiln openings! Happy I found your's 🙏🏼😊 my FAVORITE is the little Skunk Box !! And then your waterpipe vase! Because PUURRRPLLLE ! I'm gonna have to make one that is similar cuz my daughter in law will love love LOVE it!! Good luck with your delivery of your precious gift 🍼 🤱🏼👶🏼 hope you give us an update 🤞🏼💕 I'll go binge your videos now 😉😂
Thank you so much! Good luck on your first Kiln firing that's sooo exciting!!!
You've done such a nice job of explaining the glazes/technique. I learn every time I view your channel. Thanks for sharing.
Love your glaze combos!❤ Congratulations on your babies' arrival soon!❤
I watch a TON of pottery/ceramics videos and I rate your creativity and glazes at the top! Please keep making videos! Would love to see some process videos as well 🤩 In one or more of these you have shown what you call a “barrel” mug that is slip cast. Do you happen to know where I can find such a mold?
Thank you so much! I plan to make process videos at some point but life always gets in the way! The barrel mold was a vintage one, I got it on ebay but the availability of any mold is so based on just what people are selling at the moment, so I can only say to keep your eye open on there. If I ever see any I will let you know. But it is kind of tiny, especially the handle part, and hard to hold. There are some great molds on etsy though, good shapes and easy to pour. Shipping for a mold is usually 30-60 so that's the main expense since they are so heavy. Hope this helps!
It helps very much, thank you for your reply! Love all of your work! @@RedEftDesigns
The frogs are intense!
So intense, right??!
Your oil pourer is great!!
I love your glaze combos, you are fun and fearless!! The very best to you and your new baby😊
Wow! Some lovely results. Can you please share - how did you make the crystal cluster? So cool!
Thanks Kathy! From a leatherhard coil I used a scalpel to facet the sides into 6 and the tip into a point ( also 6). Then connected them to a base and sprinkled a few scrap pieces from the scalpel faceting around the base. I plan to do a video of it someday soon!
Wow gorgeous purple vases Amanda love them!! Congrats on the bub make sure we get a short please!! Much love from Aussie land Nat xx
Thanks Nat! Purple is my absolute favorite! Will try and expand into more instructional videos someday soon!
Awesome unload Amanda. My favourite was the skunk box. Adorable! Also the purple haze vase was yummy! Congratulations on your upcoming arrival. You will be pretty busy for the next while!
Thanks for sharing, love your glaze combos! Fearless…Liana
I loved the “geode” bowl! - Liana
Thank you!
Amazed at how you can so evenly coat the colors and get straight edges. Tutorial?
Definitely someday! The straight edges I imagine are just from wiping the glaze back from the base with a sponge? Works best on stable glazes...
Yea, OK. But an area that is larger than what a full brush can cover. feather ing like with laquer, polyurethane and varnish does not seem to work.@@RedEftDesigns
Hey Amanda, fun opening! Love the frogs! Love the baby bump photobomb! I adore that 'ocean' pitcher! Can I ask, did the storm go all over first, THEN Seaweed, Oatmeal and snow? Love the Aurora pitcher, too. I like what you did with the Purple Haze piece. Lots in this one! Wishing you all the best with the birth of your baby! ✌️
Hi Audrey! Yes, the storm is all over in& out. Then seaweed top third, then oatmeal over the seaweed on the rim. But a space between where the seaweed ended and the line of snow was. The snow I have is verrrry thick so I just globbed it on with my finger. The seawwed/oatmeal ran and was kinda stopped by the snow. Thank you! It's less than a week now! So excited!
@RedEftDesigns oh, thank you so much! I love it, and I am really looking forward to trying it! ❤️👶🍼
Great kiln as always love the back ground chorus
Yaaay! Sooo excited!! Omg how funny you said that the little teapot could be used as a Netty pot!! That’s exactly what I use mine for!! Lol Pottery to the people did a really great series on making colored pieces on clay. I think she called it speckles. But very similiar to the old forge videos. That mirror is sooo cool!! My favorites are the tea pots and the agate bowl!! The bowl is just amazing!! And I love the vase piece as well. Sorry it ran soo much. Congratulations on the new baby! I pray your labor and delivery go awesome!
Love everything! I really need to order that purple haze glaze, I am a purple girl too. Love the frog sounds
You have such an imaginative color aesthetic. Congratulations on your new arrival and I hope it goes smoothly for you. Take care. 🌹
The inkspot looked cool on that vase. My favorite is the vase with purple haze, birch and galaxy! Just beautiful Amanda.....💜
Thank you!!!
@@RedEftDesigns You're welcome!
Wow Amanda I’m speechless!😍 How can I choose one? They are all great! The agate bowl and your bottles with the purple glaze are gorgeous. They remind me of handblown glass. Every time I watch your kiln unloading, I end up buying more glazes, lol! I’m in the process of testing celadon bloom to make a sea turtle mug and the test you’ve done helps me. Thank you and best wishes with the new baby!🫶🏻
Thank you so much Ana! Love your videos as well!!!
Skunk box is so cute!
