Those turned out nice! I just used sodium silicate for the 1st time last week and was really happy with the resulting texture. Iv'e seen people use a tool that looks like a "paddle wheel sponge" to create the pattern as well, but I really like your creative use of tools/materials.
Thank you for the different textures. I want to work with sodium sylicate and now you have given me some ideas about the texture alternatives I can try. I actually like the v marks and circles.
Love 'em! Especially #2 with the herb mincer! ( I have a cheap one that will now be a clay tool! )The tulip form is real nice with that cross hatch texture!
Yes I just to say on the wire cut it into even sections say 3 to 5 inches wide and enough to wrap around the piece....that should eliminate your issue with getting the wire on and evenly spaced and then clamp it like you did and then do the sodium silicate and if an area comes out weak the piece can be adjusted easily and then pushed out again.... hope this helps..... thanks for your videos your ideas are great for the clay community
I think these all turned out great and I agree with the general consensus that I’d love to see the finished glazed products. I have ordered some sodium silicate and can’t wait to try my hand at some texture!! Do you have a video on making that tool I see you using?
i liked all 3 patterns, pattern 1, would cutting the netting into maybe 4in strips and pushing them into the surface lightly with a rib give you a more even pattern, the 'thing' on a stick, didnt seem to do much, again what about using a rib or better your fingers to start opening up the piece with the netting attached to really enclose the pattern then remove before adding the silicate, pattern two was ok and pattern 3 was great, thanks for sharing your ideas
An old fashioned hair pick for picking out curly hair will give you a wider space in between lines. I think I will try that. How dry is the cylinder? Thx again
Hello, just found your beautiful tutorials, thank you for sharing. I have a question it is not related to pottery. I am mixed media artist creating textures on canvas by using tile adhesive, Plaster of Paris . Looking for a recipe where I can get cracks. Do you think adding some sodium silicate in my mix I can achieve the desired cracking effect? Your suggestions will be gratefully appreciated.
best results are when the stamping tool creates even markings all around. hsin chuen lin technic using paper cylinder to support the piece inside, while rolling a stamp vertically all around, increase the accuracy.
I enjoy seeing how you experiment with different types of stamps/marks before stretching from the inside. I also love doing many different textures, including wiggle-wire faceting, before stretching from the inside (though I use a small sponge inside instead of that tool you use for that). I am so looking forward to doing more of that, but with sodium silicate on the surface and also using it mixed with oxides, underglazes, engobes (or even glazes like one of your previous videos). What I need is a torch though - what is the easiest type to use? Any recommendations?
Thanks! Lots of options to experiment with. As for torches, any torch that accepts a standard fuel bottle and lights with a pull of a trigger will do. You don't want to mess around with one that requires you light it with something. If you are wanting to try Sodium Silicate, you could certainly do it without a torch. A fan will suffice given a little more time.
I realky enjoyed watching your testing modalities. Im new to throwing and am amazed at the cool textures. Would a heat gun work? Looking forward to watching more of your videos. Thanks for sharing.
Interesting thought. I haven't tried taking a tool to a piece that already has the SS applied and dried. It is a pretty crispy shell, so it might be hard to push a tool into it. On the other hand, some sort of chattering could look pretty cool.

I'd love to see what those look like glazed
Thanks for sharing, that is such an interesting finish. really cool.
MARAVILHOSO!!!

Ooh, very interesting!
How about some before and after shots?
You’ve inspired me to try this technique!
That was interesting, given me lots of ideas
Thank you 👍👌

love to see what those look like glazed
Can you show the tool you are using and some glazed , finished pieces. Thanks ... interesting.
awesome thanks, where did you get your throwing tool
Really sweet!
What call the tool you use inside the pot What brand?🤗 thank you I love your work
Thanks! I think you are referring to my "Rib on a Stick". I make them and sell them on my website: www.justinsmakery.com
I enjoyed our video. It's inspiring. 👍
Was there a glaze applied after bisque firing?
Would love to see the finished pieces.... I'm assuming you are firing Obvara? What is the tool that you are using to bellow out?
Merci beau travail !
Why don’t you control the widening with your fingers for more control?

Why dont u try voille (the fabric who used by hats ?)

@@JustinsMakery Thanks Justin, yeah I would definitely prefer one that I don't have to light!

Your video are amazing! What is the tool you use inside the pot?
It's a wooden rib tool that I made myself.
@@JustinsMakery Do you sell that tool?
Is there a reason you don’t torch the inside as much as the outside.
Good question. I want the inside walls to still allow stretching. The torching is really more about helping the Sodium Silicate harden more quickly.
To push the inside of the pot it.s 'better to employ a wet sponge , it's better to controle.
Could you tell me which brand of sodium silicate you are using in the video? I want to buy it ready made, as I am new to this technique, thankyou 👍
I don't know the brand. The bottle is very generic. I got it through one of the bigger online pottery supply places.
Question, would the effect be different if you sprayed the sodium silicate on the cylinder *before* putting in the texture?
Interesting thought. I haven't tried taking a tool to a piece that already has the SS applied and dried. It is a pretty crispy shell, so it might be hard to push a tool into it. On the other hand, some sort of chattering could look pretty cool.
I had the same thought- you’d have to apply the ss, then texture before drying it- which may make the tool sticky, but you can clean it up after.
A tartan jug! (plaid)
Use a comb- they come with wider spaced teeth. 👍🏻
What is the tool you’re using inside? I noticed you leave inside pot dry.
Great textures.
Sew the mesh onto cut it and sew it together, then you'll have a seamless pattern .
whats a mesh?
Koolll
