    Welcome to another video of my Christmas series! In this video I show you how to make Christmas balls. I explain how to throw and throw them. And I show you how to make a little hook on top of it. On the end of the video I show you two different glazing techniques and I explain how to put them in the kiln.

    I like the tip of using a heat gun to firm up before removing from the hump - next time I'm going to try it as it seems I always make a mess. 👍🏼

    May I ask, what is the gauge and material of the wire that you are using to hold up your ornaments? I have used nitride but it slumps at high fire. Thank you.

    • @caldervanandel

      I'm sorry, I'm not sure what material it is, I got it at my local pottery shop in The Netherlands: www.silexshop.nl/product/staaf-metaal-diam-2x300-mm-1250c/

    Great video as usual! Thank you! Question - how heavy are they? any tips on making sure that it doesn't get too heavy and thick?

    • @caldervanandel
      @caldervanandel  3 года назад +3

      Thank you!! I didn't weigh them, but my tree is strong enough😅 To make them light it is important to throw as thin as possible. And I would also recommend to trim as much clay as you can. If you struggle with throwing thin you could also trim both sides of the ball.

    Beautiful!!! The thick wire you used to hang - what gauge (I think that’s the strength) is it?
