This is an amazing video! Thank you for shedding some light on this lost art! I'm super fascinated with Ancient Egypt and I have been doing research on their practices, especially in how they made some of their jewelry! This was so helpful!
omg! i love your little pointer! i worked in Egypt as an archaeologist. you are indeed pronouncing it correctly. I am going to try this Capt Mike faience method! thank you- love your channel!
Some of the ingredients are interchangeable, a substitute for potash is sodium bicarb in certain things and sodium bicarb becomes sodium carbonate when it reaches a certain temperature...
ahere are a few liknk to videos I did on that subject. Hope they help: ruclips.net/video/oIepYOnuqPk/видео.html ruclips.net/video/NoyGtLfZB0k/видео.html ruclips.net/video/T3EI-hlEFcE/видео.html ruclips.net/video/R2EI7LdRX7o/видео.html
What about if one were to mix it a little wetter, or water spritz it in the mold - then freeze the mold to get the image out without damage... Just a thought! Many Blessings
This is the recipe I used and put in the description: The reciepe I used: 38% Flint Silica 6% Sodium Bicarbonate (Baking Soda) 12% OM$ Ball Clay 38% Custers Feldspar (Soda Feldspar/Potash) 6% Soda Ash (Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda) Start with about 1% Copper Carbonate or whatever colorant you wish to use. Increase the amount to vary the depth of the color. I fired my well dried pieces to cone 06. Have fun!
Hilarious commentary that makes me want to get back into the studio and test! Thank you Captain Mike
Thanks for the comment and for watching!

Thanks for watching. Hope you have good luck with your ventures.
In modern Egypt there are craftsmen who make new faience beads for the tourist business. They can be bought online.

Judy Steinhilper I thought I'd fall over with the giggles when the pointer moved onto screen. Mike's a real treasure.
I enjoyed the journey and rambling. Fun and informative. Thanks, Mike.

Such a great video! Loved the pointer 😂💜
Great demonstration, Mike! Thank you. It would be even more helpful if you could show us how you used the microwave kiln for your successful pieces.

I've wanted to do this myself, wondering how easy it would be. I'm so happy you tried it out so I can learn. Thanks!
Thank you for watching and good luck with your attempts!
