Yes I used an unglazed without a shine. I made a tutorial which you can find on my RUclips channel which will show you exactly how I made these. I have since designed a kiln furniture stand where I could glaze the back also, hang them on the stand, and fire them, but I haven't made anymore of these since I made the first batch. I also have a tutorial video on how I made the kin furniture stand. I think I used an earthenware clay for these as well.

Ok. I’ll work on making a video. 💋

No it won't melt. I bisque fired it first. It can be fired between cone 5 to 10 after the bisque fire and I always fire at cone 5 or lower. It would only melt if I fired at a higher temp than recommended. This is a high grog clay and it's very sturdy. I've already fired this stand 4 to 5 times with spoons and it's still in great condition. That being said, it won't last forever and may begin to weaken over time. When that happens I'll make a new kiln stand for my spoons. I hope that answered your question.

@vanillavinepottery alright thanks for the info and detailed answer I’m gonna try it out. God bless and Merry Christmas!!! 🎄

You’re most welcome. Thanks for the channel support and comments. Merry Christmas 🎄 & Happy New Year to you as well.

Thank Mom. Love you.

My live? Was waiting for you to join today. Love you Mom

Sorry for the late reply. I've used the stand several times now, maybe 5 or 6 times and it is still holding up. I used a high grog clay called Zumia and it works great for kiln furniture and cookies. The high temp wire is another issue. It can be a bit pricey and I only get 1-2 uses from the Kanthal wire.

My pleasure! 😊

Yoh have to center the clay

Love 💕 you too Mom 😊

Thanks so much for your kind words and support. I really appreciate it.

Sorry for the late reply. Sometimes I glaze the end and sometimes I don't it just depends on my mood or style of the spoon I want. Hope that helps. Just FYI, it's ok not to completely glaze the whole spoon, especially the handle.

@@kbarker58 the longer version is on my TikTok account. @vanillavinepottery. I believe I made a mistake on the crust border during the tutorial. If you would like I can film a tutorial here and place it on my channel. Let me know.

Yes, I figured that out after the video was done. I had a lapse in memory. It happens at my age.

Please explain...

It is called Small Ceramics (.com) and yes I highly recommend it. You can go to their website and order but they are located in the UK. Shipping was very fast though.

@@vdingler524 My pleasure. I’ve found over time that the wire only lasts a few fires. 🔥 Get the strongest and high fire wire you can find. Also I don’t recommend for heavier spoons. Let me know how it goes and if you have any tips for improving.

The brushes came as a set that came from a tiny pottery wheel I ordered on Amazon. You can get cheap brushes for liquid latex at any dollar store. I just wash them out with some soapy water immediately after I use them.

May if you're throwing something really tiny and you want them all to be consistent for diameter measurement purposes. I actually have moved on to a better quality tiny pottery wheel, but I still use this one on occasion.

This particular one was a great starter mini wheel, but I really love my @smallceramics Little Betty wheel better. She cost more, but she is sturdy, has great torque power and clean up is much easier. I see that Small Ceramics came out with steel bats for their wheels now and I’d like to order a few so I can dry my pieces on the wheel and trim them without the plastic melting! Hope that helps you. Happy potting!!!

I'll try to do more tiny pottery videos in the near future. Thanks for your comment.

OMG, I know!!!

Thank you so much for your kindness and support.

You have to use glaze for the clay type you are using. I use both earthenware and high fire stoneware clay for my tiny pots. Some glazes cover a range of low through mid fire. Just make sure the glaze is right for the clay you are using. You can also use air dry clay and for that you would use acrylic paints but I've never used those materials before. You may want to research both ways. Hope that helps.

I throw with earthenware or stoneware clay. But you can use an air dry clay as well but I personally don’t work with air dry clay.

I purchased it on Amazon, but I’ve no idea what a TPM is.

@@vanillavinepottery 2000 turns per minute :)

@@4veijzer 2000 TPM? I don’t know. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’ve never counted the spin per minute or read that in the description before purchase. It’s a Yofuly. You can research it on Amazon.

At Clay King website. It is a Shimpo Aspire portable wheel. Has served me well.

I did a greenware glaze bisque fire then applied a clear glazed and refired. They all came out. It was still 2 firings so I didn't save any time. I didn't want the clear glaze to smear the underglazes so I did 2 firings. Thank you for watching & your suggestion.

Thank you for watching. I love the stands but the wire I use only holds up through so many firings and if the spoon is on the heavy side or fired at a higher temp, the wire becomes weak and brittle and I have had spoons fall off the wire. I'm trying to troubleshoot this with stronger and higher temp wire. Truthfully, I prefer using earthenware to make spoons because they hold up better on the stand at a lower kiln temp. The stands have their place as do kiln furniture stands for longer and heavier spoons. Lots of trial and error with pottery for sure. Best of luck on your pottery journey.

It definitely has enough torque and room to throw and trim a mug and yes could also be used a small banding wheel. It's a great small wheel. Worth every penny I spent on it.

Well if firing it in the kiln mean "bake it" then yes!

Yes. This video is more about finding, claiming, & using the available space you have and make it work for you. Thank you for watching & commenting.

I used a 15 gauge Kemper high fire wire. It fires best in lower fires though with lighter spoons. I had a mishap in my last firing at cone 5 and a couple of my heavier spoons fell off the hooks because the wire bent at the high temp. I’m in the process of troubleshooting and looking for a better way to hang heavier spoons in higher fires. The more you fire the wire the weaker it becomes obviously. I did recently order a 16 gauge higher temp wire so waiting to test that out when it arrives.

I also made a tutorial on my channel on how I made the stands and talked a bit more about the wire in the video.

Thank you so much for these details! I also noticed that the wire gets weaker and weaker as I use it ! Thanks again, I will check your other videos ! 😊

This was the first pattern I worked up and I bought the pattern. However, I’ve since made more and reworked the pattern more specific to my needs so I guess I have my own pattern now. I’m on the fence if I should do a tutorial.

Thank you & thank you for watching & commenting.

I was just going to send you this link on the other video so you could see the results. Thanks for looking!

Thank you!

Thank you kindly.

Thank you. Yes the catch basin was made by me. You can also use a plastic container. I’ve replaced with something bigger since this video. It just helps contain the splash mess. Thank you for watching and commenting.

@@vanillavinepottery oh ok thank you :)

The large scoops are approximately 2 tablespoons & the small approximately 1 tablespoon.

@@vanillavinepottery thank you! They are great!!

Thank you. ❤️❤️

Thank you for the tips. Much appreciated!
