So glad I found your channel. I used to do pottery in high school and I've been wanting to get back into it. I'm about to graduate from university in May and I'm super excited to immediately enroll in a pottery class :) for now I can enjoy watching your videos while I get through this last chaotic semester lol
Great wee video for those who bisque fire and can set their programmer........ We poor souls who now single fire in an old manual kiln and only use cones will have to wing it on the drying. 6 out of 6 and no blow ups yet, even with some thick walled pots. Thanks for sharing Jon!
No winging it necessary. To "Candle" or "Water Smoke", just turn on the bottom ring, with the peeps out, and top open. Generally do this over night. and then close it up the next day, and fire as normal.
Hey Jon! If you’re inspired to make it, I’d love to watch a video where you throw and glaze pieces entirely different than your signature look. Trying different types of clay, shapes, colors of glaze and techniques etc.
Ok. I have mountains of greenware but haven't fired anything yet. I'm so afraid of something going wrong so I'm a sponge soaking up any and every thing I possibly can. My kiln is manual so I'm even more Leary. Thanks for the instructions
I love the happy spirit of folks who work with their hands. Well, I just love artistic folks in general. Excepting writers. Writers are often cranky drunks. I'm a writer ..... 8-(
It just depends on the clay, and glazes you are using, not to mention a bit of personal preference. The lower you go, the more porous the clay will be, and it will suck the water in the glaze in a bit more, than a slightky higher firing. In my classroom, we do low fire. Bisque to 04, glaze to 05, vecause that's what the glaze manufacturer suggests. From what I've heard, from other potters, most bisque from 06 to 04.
Everytime I see other people shit I think I'm terrible LOL I was wondering if you would do something for me as a favor. If I send you some glaze would you fire it at cone 6 for me I want to see if the color difference is any different in your Kiln compared to mine. It's a Different Twist on randys red but for some reason mine comes out more of a brown it's kind of almost interesting is it speckled Lee and it works good with buttercream and floating blue layering the kids are weird lines in it. Let me know if you want to try this glaze but be forewarned that have not tested it for safety yet it would be a test situation only

Im liking the increase in lighting. Well done sir.
I love how Jon explains what his exhaust fan is every time he turns it on 😂
Great video...thank you. You've inspired me to tske a college course with my kid!! So bisque can touch...glaze cannot?
Yes that is correct!
Aww Ryder did that thing at the end of the video that you do Jon, he was whooshing his coffee lid to the camera (5:56)
🇬🇧
Nice mass throw job there Jon. You a mad lad throwin wet stuff in the kiln. Every time I've done that I get something blowing up. I'll heed the tips.
Love your videos!

@@benpatterson4452 Thanks Ben, with the top open do you mean propped open about an inch or two?
@@freddiemoretti8456 Some just crack the lid, some leave it completely open. I've done it both ways, with the same results.
@@benpatterson4452 Thanks!

OOOO almsot missed the coffee making at the end. LOVE IT.
Not quite up to PM standards ....maybe someday
Question. I noticed you didn't prop the kiln lid open while you were drying your greenware. How come? Thanks
I should have , actually I think I did I just must not have filmed it or had it in the video

Important detail..since no downdraft system I assume that top peep is out to help let that moisture and fumeage escape ///up to his vent hood.
Question!!! How wet can the pottery be to preheat and it be okay? I’ve waited 4 days for mine to dry but some of them are thick walled
Hey Jon!
Come to Sandpoint Idaho!
We are potters up here!
That is one sweet mug! And one full kiln, love the ability to program them. Now I kind of wish I still had my pottery wheel :(
That is one freakishly adorable baby!!!!!
Look up AC infinity inline fan, you should get one!
That’s a lot of mugs!
Ow Lord, your baby's the cutest!! 😍
Hi i want to ask you for what that machine
What is this machine called?
Love your videos! Just recently started watching them! I used to live in MN! Also, how do you post so frequently?
What model Skutt are you using?
I was taught to bisque at 04 is that wrong any reason for 06 vs 04?
It just depends on the clay, and glazes you are using, not to mention a bit of personal preference. The lower you go, the more porous the clay will be, and it will suck the water in the glaze in a bit more, than a slightky higher firing.

From what I've heard, from other potters, most bisque from 06 to 04.
I’m thinking of starting a channel what’s your thoughts
Don't know you but give it a try. Or have you?
Ive been trying to find his mugs on etsy and havent had much luck. Can anyone help me and point me to the right direction please?

I usually just lift the lid for an hour to make sure it’s dry then I close it.
Jon everybody has a clothes dryer size programmable electric kiln in their washroom, hooray !
Looks like you've got some bulging wires, in the bisque kiln. Might want to repin those, before they become a bigger hazzard.

Thank you so much for your videos! Question: Do you use cones when you fire?
Nope! I used to use a kiln sitter which I fired many cones, ever since I got my trusty Skutt 1027 though the digital has never let me down:)
