I just came across your video, and the length is fine. The little nuggets of info you give are so appreciated. Impatient people will switch to another channel and never know the knowledge they have passed up. You are providing answers to questions they've yet to encounter.
To me time is not the critical factor, quality of the content is what is most important. I’ve wasted my time on 8 minute videos and spent every last second on a great one hour plus one. Your videos are of excellent quality, with an informative and approachable style. I can go and try doing what you show right afterwards. That is well worth my time. Thank you.
I found your video looking for a new combo for ramen bowls. This is beautiful! I enjoy the process videos because sometimes reading the number of coats of glazes isn't quite enough. Thank you so much for sharing. I look forward to watching more of your videos!
Thank you for the comment. Made my day. I’m so glad you find the videos helpful. I kept a set of those bowls and we use them frequently here in the cold winter. Good luck with your Ramen bowls! 😊
I’m sure someone has replied to you about the chunks in the glaze but just in case they haven’t the chunks are crystals that burst and melt when in the kiln. The best way to be sure to get the crystals is to use a spoon to scrape the bottom so when you shake the glaze the crystals get incorporated into the glaze. If they settle really fast I just scoop some out with a spoon and apply them with a brush with the last coat! Thank you sooooo much for your videos!! I’d love to see a tour of your space. I’m so glad your wife encouraged you to have your own space to do your pottery!
I absolutely love your videos, and yes the long one too. Glazing videos are my favourite ones. There is so much tricks can be seen. But basically I love any longer videos about pottery 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I cant read those blog recipes either. But i really enjoy lonher videos and the small chit chat. Theres also a ton to learn from watching every thing you do.love this!
I trim the bottom of my pots like you do. I will add those lines to help slow down runny glazes. Your work is just beautiful. I love that glaze. I go to a studio and it is fun. I would though love to have a studio of my own. Thank you for sharing your talents and ideas. I subscribed. I will look at more of your work.
I love the combo. I am originally from Arkansas, then moved to Idaho in 91. Then got into pottery in 2020 and got hooked. Instead of the Birch, I am going to use Winterwood. I will post a picture when I get done. But thank you for the time you took to show how you applied the glazes.
I see Winterwood is a matte glaze. It will be interesting to see how that turns out. Would love to see your pics. What I like about River Birch is it is one of Amaco’s flux glazes so as a base it helps everything run together. I hope you are enjoying Idaho. Sounds cold to me 😊.
I really like the longer videos - as a beginner I need all the visual help I can get! Thanks for the generous sharing of your knowledge and skills. sub zero and snow here in Saskatchewan :/
I hope it helps you. I use it as a decorative enhancement on these bowls but they don’t have to be that big. One nice groove towards the foot can sometimes be all you need. Thanks for watching. I appreciate your comment.
Start to finish firing and show the finished mugs, soup bowls I'm starting out and it would be great to see your pieces finished thanks for your posts a learning experience
I think it’s really helpful to see how the glazes are applied. So, thanks! I think it was Lisa Finkel or maybe Kim Unseth that said they manage the crystals in glazes by finding out the base glaze in the crystal glaze, and adding more base glaze to the bucket of the crystal glaze, to thin out the number of crystals. Did that make sense? I know what you mean about looooong videos - lol. I often speed through someone talking at length while standing in front of their closed kiln. Just open that sucker! Lol.
I loved this video! I enjoy listening to you... your voice and manner is very soothing. I also was so happy to see and hear your technique for applying the glazes! Short or long? Either is good... if I don’t have the time for a long one, I just send it to myself for later when I do! Either way, your pottery and videos are DOPE!♥️😂🔥🤷♀️
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the feedback(pause here while I go put on my cape)! It’s always a challenge to know what style video fits most people. I’m really glad you enjoy my work. If you would like to see more of it follow me on Instagram. Healing_Earth_Ceramics. Thanks for watching Erin! 😊
I love you videos. I just ordered River Birch myself! My daughter and her family live in ARK. and we are planning to move there in the next year or so. Can you give any tips on Art festivals I should attend in Eureka Springs or Mountain Home? I am hoping I can make pottery to supplement our retirement in that area. Thank you for the time and energy you put into your videos!
That is awesome! I’m sure there are plenty of festivals around although I don’t know them specifically. I’d check with the chamber of commerce or Google festivals for each area. Both towns are beautiful places to enjoy.
I fire to cone 6. I have 2 old Duncan manual kilns so there is no hold. I usually go on Low for an hour, move to Medium for around 2 hours then go to High for 2 more hours. At the 5 hour mark I set it on High Fire and let it run till the kiln sitter trips which usually around 5.25 to 5.50 hours. It’s really quick but that’s how my old glaze kiln works. It get’s hot fast and gets the job done. I use my other kiln for bisque because it heats up slower. Hope this helps. Glad you liked the video.
I use a fan brush for large areas and the old wooden import brushes for other stuff. I actual have a thick round brush for acrylic paints I got at Hobby Lobby for smaller areas.
Thank you! We live in the heart of trees and the color was probably better here than south of us. We took the next day to just mosey around locally for a few hours and enjoy some beautiful trees.

Love seeing other potters combo glazes! I’m still learning. We can always fast forward.

I love this! I think the longer video is fantastic, glazing can be hard to get right and this is perfect demonstration.
Thank you so much!

It is cold but a dry cold. Not very much humid in the summer. I will send pics when it is done.
I’m also learning to use glaze combos and find this video very useful and instructive. Thanks for taking the time to share with us. Keep them coming!
So glad it’s helpful. Thanks for the comment. I’ve slowed down a bit for the holidays but hope to pick it up again soon. Happy Holidays!
beautiful combo... thanks!
Glad you like it!

Thank you for the input. Brrrrr….stay warm and inside. Watch another video. 😊
Hahaha - if you make them, I'll watch them. I'm very grateful for the community of potters who so generously make videos. @@healingearthceramics9472
I love this!
Glad you like it. Give it a try. Thanks for watching. 😊
Stirring tip for the crystals. I use plastic knives. Always have them from parties. No one uses the knife lol
I wash them & reuse. They stir so well.
Great tip! Thanks for sharing.
Definitely do more longer videos!!!!! We beginners appreciate it very much. It's not like Grandma's history. LOL :)
I’m working on it. Thanks for the comment and for watching. Hope the videos help you. 😊
Very lovely ❤
Thank you! 😊
It’s meditative and we learn more from the detailed process
Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate you watching and commenting.
love this!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
Love it!
Thanks!!
Love this video. You are doing what a lot of us like. As a new potter I watch to study process and whatever thing does.
I'm so glad! Hope it helps. I started about 5 years ago. Thanks for watching!!
Thank you for the information. Could you film horizontally rather than vertically. You can see so much more in horizontal aspect.
I’ll give it a try next time. Thanks for the suggestion.
Love this combo thanks for sharing
You are so welcome!
Thanks so much for the tip to stop the runny glazes! I have a terrible problem with that happening so I will try your method!
I hope it helps you. I use it as a decorative enhancement on these bowls but they don’t have to be that big. One nice groove towards the foot can sometimes be all you need. Thanks for watching. I appreciate your comment.
I enjoyed watching your whole process & learned some great tips! Thanks & keep the good videos coming!
Thank you. Glad it is helpful. Thanks for watching! 😊
I wonder if it works with cobalt celadon and even marigold? Worth a try 🤔
Definitely worth a try.
Just viewed your video......fantastic.....loved the detail. Keep these coming! Have learned so much! Thanks!
Glad you liked it. I appreciate the feedback. Thanks for watching, really glad they are helpful.
I like the longer videos
Thank you for the feedback. I really appreciate you watching and commenting.
Beautifully made soup mugs.
Thank you, glad you like them.
Start to finish firing and show the finished mugs, soup bowls I'm starting out and it would be great to see your pieces finished thanks for your posts a learning experience
Thank you for the feedback. I’ll post these going in and coming out of the kiln.
Love this detailed video....nice to see how someone does things ❤
Glad you liked it!!
Loved this video; no matter what the length. Definitely going to try this combo!
Thank you. I think you will love it. It’s a beautiful glaze combo best on lighter clays. Thanks for watching. 😊
Gorgeous! I can't wait to try this combo. I like the long videos every once in a while too. :)
Yay! Thank you! Feel free to FF when you get bored. I appreciate your comment.
I’m new here, just found your channel. Thanks for the full description. Very helpful. 👍🏼

Actually it does. More base fewer crystals. Thanks!
Is the bowl you showed the same glaze in the beginning of your post looks great thanks
Yes, that bowl is River Birch with Albany Slip Brown around the rim.
how much clay do you use for soup mugs?
1 lb and 6 oz. More if you want bigger or taller.

@@healingearthceramics9472 All THAT, and you’re FUNNY TOO?!?! Thank you...♥️ I look forward to your next video (short or long!)❣️🔥
Very pretty thank you for sharing 😊
You are so welcome. Thank you for watching!
Edit out or speed up in editing program the heat gun parts.
Thanks. I have started doing that with later videos. It is quite annoying. Thanks for watching.
I love you videos. I just ordered River Birch myself! My daughter and her family live in ARK. and we are planning to move there in the next year or so.

Viewed your video again.....love that combination. What cone do you fire at....any holding? Thanks in advance!

Gorgeous. What brush are you using please?
I use a fan brush for large areas and the old wooden import brushes for other stuff. I actual have a thick round brush for acrylic paints I got at Hobby Lobby for smaller areas.
Great for learning thanks
Glad you find it helpful. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the demo. Edit out the heat gun and it will be quicker. We are doing bowls of hope and I will try this on some of the bowls.
Thanks, I’ve started fast forwarding the heat gun. I can cut it out in the future. Hope you enjoyed the video.
Store glazes with crystals upside down.
Thanks, that’s a really good idea. 😊
PS hoping y'all get to Wine country before the colors are completely gone
Thank you! We live in the heart of trees and the color was probably better here than south of us. We took the next day to just mosey around locally for a few hours and enjoy some beautiful trees.
