Thank you Joe 😊

Thank you Tracy ☺️

I used a stoneware clay from a local studio . Called Big pot clay .

Hi Layla, I used a stoneware clay from a local studio. It Called Big pot clay .

@@yukiceramicswhat percentage of fireclay did you use and is it more fine grained or course fireclay/refractory clay or without? :)

I used stoneware clay from a local store. If it’s too wet, I suggest letting it dry a bit, but not so much that it becomes difficult to shape the cylinder. With time, you’ll learn how much time you need to model based on your clay and environment. 😊

Thank you ☺️. I appreciate it❤️

Thank you for watching ☺️❤️

I completely agree! Handbuilding is such a versatile and creative process. It’s always inspiring to see the unique techniques and styles that others bring to it. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

Yes you can ! ❤️

I like wheel thrown pottery too

Yes I like. 👍 I am using the dark speckled clay in this video

Hi Robbie 😊

In this video, I’m using local clay from a local studio. Yes, you can use the bowl for eat after fire. I do two firings: one bisque fire and the other glaze fire.

Two firing stages: bisque firing and glaze firing. Bisque firing is the first stage, where the clay is fired at a lower temperature to harden it, making it easier to handle for glazing. The second stage is glaze firing, where the glaze applied to the bisque-fired piece is melted and fused to the surface at a higher temperature.

Thank you for watching and for the comment ❤️

Good ideia! Write here you experience with your own clay 😊

I did it but my little brother decided to annoy me and broke it :(​@@yukiceramics

Thank you . I actually don’t know exactly. You could start weddings the amount of clay you think will be good for you. The leftover clay you still can use for another project. 😉

It's a few different formulations. I like mayco though. Thank you for watching ❤️

You are welcome. Thank you for watching and commenting here ❤️

With the moisture in the clay, it can adhere to wood and may deform when moved. With fabric, even if it sticks, it's easy to detach without causing much deformation.

Thanks so much for reponding. That makes a lot of sense! Also easy to wash. 🙏🥰

Thank you for watching and for the comment.❤️

Hi, I use a Batmate. It is good option for annoying bat jitter and warping. The bats become stable.

Hope I could help you☺️

I love this

Hi, Usually, I wedged the clay well. If it is too hard and dry, I moisten it. If it's very dry, I put the clay in a bag, add water, and wait for the clay to absorb it. Depending on the amount, this can take a few days, and I turn the package since the water settles at the bottom. Alternatively, if you have a bucket, you can do the same process, tightly seal the bag, and immerse it in a bucket full of water (this way, you don't need to keep turning the bag with the clay). If the clay is only a bit dry, you can cover it with a wet old towel, then place it in a bag and leave it for a while until the clay absorbs the water from the towel.

Hm I tired but it's shape was not good and smooth....

I tried to make a pot but I saw crack es on that .

You are welcome. Thank you for your comment ❤️

Great! Thank you for watching and for comment here❤️

Both. I start with the legs down and finish backward. Thank you for watching❤️

This is a Dark stoneware clay bought from a local studio. called Big pot clay❤️

Thanks Cristina for your nice comment. Love it❤️

I bought when I was living in Shanghai in a local fabric store. Sorry, I wish I have the link for you.😊

@@yukiceramics Thank you for getting back to me.

I used a chamois cloth to achieve a nice, smooth edge.

@@yukiceramics thank you

Hi Sharon,About the cracks in the clay. Are you letting your mug dry in the open air? Sun? Wind? Is the thickness uniform? In this case, since you want to polish the mug, I would try the following: wedge the clay well to make it very homogeneous. After making the mug, let it dry slowly, covered with a plastic bag. I wouldn't let it dry too much, just enough so that when you handle it, the mug doesn't deform. Cracks can happen for various reasons. Remember that when you handle (polish) the mug, you increase the risk of breaking or damaging the piece. In any case, if you are going to glaze your mug later, there is no need to polish the entire piece.

About trying to fix the crack. I know there are ways to try to fix it, but if I see a crack at this stage of the process, I usually recycle the clay. Some small cracks can get much worse after completely drying or after firing. Regarding making a cylinder with coils, pay attention when adding the coil. The lengths of the coils theoretically need to be the same. If they are longer, you will open up the pot, and if they are shorter, you will close the pot. When handling, the tendency is to apply more force to the inner part of the pot, causing it to open up. For a cylinder, it might be better to use the slab technique. However, if you want to become more familiar with the clay, the coil technique is great! It will also give you more options to create different pieces in the future.

I hope I was able to help with something. Let me know if there's anything else I can assist you with.

Another thing I just thought of is that when you press (polish) the clay, you always need to support the clay from underneath where you are pressing.

Thanks a lot Let me try
