- In this video I experiment with making ceramic titles! I've incorporated some digital fabrication into the process to create texture. I use the Evenheat oven to fire the clay.
If you enjoy this kind of voiced over videos I have several posted on the Patreon for 1$ a month
Thank you

The author does like to ruclips.net/user/postUgkxkNYRBJuiJ6EwD-tQSAlxg0eFKsnR2cgz from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. As another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us don’t have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we won’t be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.
your tenacity is unmatched. youtube has not made you lazy unlike some youtube creators.
Ain't that the truth.
RUclips or it's algorithm?
ohhh we need some Diresta subway tiles too! When I use to do ceramics many moons ago we put plastic down on the floor and threw the clay full force on to the ground, do that about ten times and that would get rid of air bubbles. You always go to school on the first attempt!!
We we so freaking lazy, so we went to the roof of our school and threw the clay ball unto a big 4x4 meters tarp. The teacher could decide if she was pissed or impressed.
Love hearing your thought process throughout w/ the VO & it helps that you have a great narrative voice Jimmy 🤌
Couple things from a ceramicist!
Terra cotta is usually a low fire clay, so cone 04 which is much cooler than cone 6. The clay looks like it was over fired. The bubbles are less likely to be from not wedging/kneading the clay enough but from bloating that happens when a clay body is fired higher than it’s supposed to be.
If that is Standard Clay (a brand of clay from ceramic supply in Lodi, NJ) they don’t have a midrange (cone 5/6) terra cotta so I would double check the firing temp.
Plaster molds are usually made with Pottery No.1 plaster, which is much stronger than plaster of Paris, and will last a lot longer.
Last, if you are firing them unglazed you can stack them! Especially if you want to bisque fire them (firing to lower temp before glazing).
Would love to answer any questions if you have any about ceramics!
I'm still here and thank you very much,I used to help my wife load the kiln and when I saw that overhang well you know......now,really appreciate your efforts🤗😎🤗😎
When I left school I use to work in a slip house in the pot banks in England company called Wades ceramics in a place called stoke on trent the home of pottery it was a messy job but it was one of my favourite jobs. Miss them days working in the potteries.
Always love it when you show your "research" and experimentation.
That checkered tile that deformed looks really cool and trippy with all the wavy lines, almost like those old demonstrations of black holes
Of course we're still here, I need to see more!
I can see this as a steep learning curve if you're doing all the learning on your own.
The last glossy black was 👍❤️
Fascinating video. It is always interesting to hear the thought process of someone going through a project and hearing the reasoning for doing something that theyre doing.
I enjoyed this style of video. A bit of a window into Mr. Diresta’s creative process.
A Diresta Chess board would be awesome to see come to life with a really nice old piece of wood. That machine could really lead to something interesting.
Those metallic glazes are awesome
I did a bathtub surround by hand painting each unglazed tile with glaze. They were 4" tile and each one was a portion of the larger picture (like a pixel). Walking into the bathroom, with the tub at the far end, it was a bathtub at the beach with coconut palms around it. With the clear shower curtain pulled, the whole thing was magic to behold. Sold that place for close to 5x what I paid for it, with maybe 5G worth of tile, supplies, and kiln time. The tile work was the reason. Never tried just making my own tiles with the image embossed into the tile. The process shown could allow one to do that. Get that C&C rig to apply the glaze and you could create any scene like this in a fraction of the time I took (well over 6 months). Don't even bother with embossing the tile and use commercial unglazed tile and the C&C to spray the glaze, and it'd be even quicker yet. Days instead of months. Number your tiles as they come off the C&C, though. Otherwise you'd have the world's biggest, most delicate, jigsaw puzzle.
Not that I know thing about making tiles, other than what I have just learnt from you Jimmy. For your first attempt I gotta say "You did good" brother. Like you, I too, loved the "Black Tree Grain Tile" Thanks for sharing Jimmy. Love and Respect from North London UK.
Very cool to see how you incorporated CNC tech into the mold-making process.
Result ist awesome, as always 😘
The process looks addicting in a good way. Thanks Jimmy! 👍😃👍
Pretty cool! Takes me back to high school ceramics class. There was a kid who tried making a bong. The teacher caught him and destroyed it, so the kid made another project with a huge air bubble in it so when it was fired, it exploded breaking everyone's project. Good times!
Fantastic video! Love watching you learn.
Hey jimmy slip casting would be best to prevent warping but takes long, ceramic bow cutters also work well for keeping things flat
Also you could cut the design into a rolling pin and press the design into it a slab of clay
First firing should be cone 06 bisque Fire
Second firing should be cone 6 glaze
At first I thought you were making dies for your press, but then it got even cooler. Love the end grain ones, and the gray glaze
Great iob, I like the black and red shining piece.
It's always exciting to experiment with stuff. To me it's a form of play. It helps us learn that it's okay if we don't get it right the first time. Be gracious to yourself and go for it again.
Wow, it has been a while. I remember when you were posting IG's on these months ago! Doesn't this takes us back when we had kilns in school and made art projects in elementary middle school. That is really cool. Another arrow in the arsenal.
Fantastic experiment, so interesting to see the ideas, results & feedback that created those memorable firsts. Thank you for sharing & inspiring!
Awesome work, cool experiment.
Next time after glazing, try scraping your giant blade on the raised surfaces but just lightly enough to reveal some more contrast on the finished products
The value of learning for yourself by doing and making mistakes. Amen.
Diresta the breakfast cereal, Diresta the lunchbox, Diresta the flame thrower… the kids love that one!
That's cool Jimmy, thank you
rad. they are awesome. i use to love opening a kiln and waiting to see if it was disaster or joy
I agree. Although there is some great info online, it seems I still learn best by experimenting too.
Yeah that dark end grain piece is really lovely. You know, I honestly like the bent tiles too; reminds me of Dali's "Persistence of Memory." Hey, with any broken ones: maybe try your hand at "kintsugi"?
Interesting experiments with some cool results. As always, thanks for taking us along on the learning journey.
I saw them in the shop, they look beautiful!
Lots of learning in this one!
you should make a big mosaic mural on one of your workshop walls.. do one of those many small images make a big image things..
also you bisque fire at low temp pre glaze then high fire. you hire fired first making them vitrous prior to glazing just fyi ! good that your diving right in! nice kiln!!
Great experiment and the tiles look cool
Excelente tutorial maestro, unos magníficos moldes y unos azulejos cerámicos espectaculares, hay alguna cosa que usted no se atreve a realizar??, gracias por compartir sus conocimientos y experiencias, un saludo cordial y por supuesto un gran like desde Narón (Galicia) 👍🤓 😜
My favourite is white with black gloss. Looks like a lot of fun though mate
Those are beautiful, Jimmy! Thanks for sharing your failures because it’s fun to watch you learn. Scott
Learning and experimenting is so much fun and really cool to watch your process.
you need to use pottery plaster no.1 and screen when pouring into your mold. pottery plaster get hard and hot fast and cures quick
Series of cool ideas, well done.👍
Hello mister Jimmy Diresta beautifully done good job
Black is really cool!!!
Diresta scholl of art
Try a first firing at cone 05 or 06 to bisque fire. They’ll absorb glaze better. The second fire should be cone 6. Also, the tiles won’t droop at 04-06. People often bisque fire plates stacked on their edges without any warping.
Good to know thank you!
Jimmy awesome project. very nice job. keep making. god bless.
very cool. Thanks for sharing
Thank you!
That was a great success. When I tried things didn’t work very well.
The bloating is likely because the clay produces gas when you heat it up (stuff decomposing). Usually you shouldn't see that after bisque firing. I'd fire to about 900-950°C for bisque. Don't do it too quickly if you have problems with bloating. Bloating will also happen when you over fire your clay (firing hotter than the clay can tolerate). Red or black clays usually melt earlier than white clays. Make sure your tiles don't stick to the shelves. They will crack. You could use a thin layer of silica sand on your shelves to prevent that. But that might fall into your glaze (there's also stuff containing alumina that you paint on your shelves). With tiles it's also a good idea to dry them on some kind of grating so they dry more evenly on both sides.
👊🏼Mr. Jimmy…
now ,
The Moravian tile works ( circa1912) is a road-trip that will inspire Your clay work beyond belief!!!
Doylestown , Pa .
Rock on Bro!🤘🏼
Thank you
Really cool.
Jimmy você não para de fazer coisas incríveis🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
You could use an extruder to get rid of the air. My mother is a potter and all of her clay goes through an extruder before she makes pots.
Excellent
good work
Really love to see your processes. As a potter I've never made tiles but I know it can be a difficult and finicky process. Just so you know, the bubbles in your dark clay are not from air bubbles. Dark clays like the one you were using get their coloring from iron in the clay which can cause bloating and blistering during the firing if fired to too high of a temperature. Or it may have to do with the rate it was heated at. It also seems weird that your tiles melted over the edge of the shelf, that also seems like your kiln might be getting too hot for the clay you're using, but I'm not certain about that.
Thank you yep. I now know the difference between 06 and 6 😅😅
يارجل رهيب انت❤️
These look great! I'd love to see another video with some more designs once you've refined your process.
Thank you! follw me on instagram for some more tile stuff
Love it! Further inspiring me to get a cnc
Perfect!!!
Great video. Super cool experiments. Always fun to learn something new. Mahalo for sharing! : )
just what we need More subway Tiles lol
Have you tried a roller / rolling pin when putting the clay in the molds? As you mentioned, slip would probably work well too.
Very cool.
I was going to suggest using Slip, but you mentioned already you were going to try that next
Jim, do the lumber section in brown no/yes after all some wood is brown
Mold tile around a cylinder => DiResta Beer Stein!
Great video jimmy. I learn like you. Do some research and then throw me in the fire. Good bad or indifferent going through the process yields results. Well done.
Goes to show that your human after all ..lol .. admire your honesty. thks
great design and my new bad room is create🤗🤗🤗
Have you tried brushing on your glaze, letting it completely air dry, then applying a contrasting glaze to only the raised parts using a roller? I would like to see the results if you do try this.
This method works with concrete. Try watering down the clay to scrambled egg thickness. In ceramics this is called slip. It is how all ceramics are made no air bubbles
Next video, can you just make chocolate bars from your molds? Thanks 🍫
imagine after 50 years how much money the pieces from the first batch will cost. It will be insane!
OK, you need to make a stoneware mug!
What about cutting image in reverse and then using it to stamp the tile? You could use square like molds and then ball the clay and when you stamp, it would fill the void of the mold. Just a thought.
Good morning everyone 🤙🏽
Buenos días compañero.👍
Love the videos! Respect the fact that you want to learn through trial and error, but if you want tips, tricks and less headaches, reply. Ceramic Engineer with 27 years experience willing to answer questions and share knowledge.
Thank you! It the one thing I am
Learning from 0! Getting lots of good love and advice thank you!
I wonder if using an HVLP gun for your glaze would get rid of the brush lines and bubbles
Next time bisque fire to cone 06 - which is a lot cooler than cone 6, and the glaze will soak right into the tile. Then glaze to cone 6. Use three coats of the Amaco glaze for best results.
Very Very Impressive, I L💚ve This. Appreciate plus Thanks A Lot For Sharing. Much Continued Future Success 💚💚💚
Awesome 👌
Brilliant, Jimmy! Fantastic work!!! 😃
The kiln, is it electric? It's a fascinating device!!!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
For plaster, to get rid of any bubbles just use a brush to brush the face of the mold and for clay slam it hard on the ground. It becomes dense and even after a few hits.
Nice work! Tile is like nails on a chalkboard lol
I have seen video of people making artisan tiles, they are made upside down and use liquid colours in first then looks like cement powder.
Slightly disappointed that the term "Leather Hard" wasn't used 😆
What a nice batch for your first time Jimmy! Was that "white" clay you worked with porcelain, or some kind of white low-fire clay?
Depending on the end use of the tiles you probably could have just cut your designs in the corian and stopped there and used that. I've made tons of "Lithopanes" on my shopbot. You can cut a design/photo in the corian and put a light behind it(or hang it in a window with sunlight) and it looks like a b/w photo. Hey! have we stumbled onto a new product for Diresta and your maker logo? 😊
This was firing
Exercise 🙌🏼🙏🏼

Looks like your giant razor blade saved your life !!
No, is it a skill you'd work on in the future ? There's so much things that influence the final state, really "curiousiteresting"
As a ceramic artist, slip is the way to go.
How would you go about mass producing these efficiently for say a backsplash or bathroom?
