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.
Bisque fire: 1020°C / 1868°F / cone 06

These are fantastic!
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. 👍🏼
Have fun! I hope it helps😁

Nice video! Where do you find the wire to hang them in the kiln?
From my research ppl ussualy use high resistence metals such as tungstain but personally never tried yet
You have great, detailed videos. I really appreciate the start to finish. That really helps!

AMEI!!!!
Beautiful:)👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you!!😊
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.
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/
You are so awesome! I wish I could hang out with you!❤
Merci c'est superbe
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?
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?
Thank you! I have actually no idea😅 It's a kanthal wire with a diameter of 4mm
amazing. what kind of metal stick is that you hang them on?
Thank you! It's a thick kanthal wire😊
@@caldervanandel thank you king!
what kind of metal is that you are hanging the ornaments on in the kiln??
It's a kanthal wire with a diameter of 4mm :)
Thank you@@caldervanandel I am having a hard time finding a supplier in the US. Do you have a link to where you purchased the rod?
