OMG I really do get excited…LOL! I laugh at myself when I’m editing all the footage…aww heck I laugh at myself all the time! 🤪 I’m really glad you enjoy my excitement too!! Working from a home pottery studio can be lonely-ish so when I film it feels like you all are right there with me. Thanks so much for watching!! 🥰
Thanks for the compliments!! So far most people agree that the raw clay is the preference..it feels so nice in the hand, almost a warm earthy feeling. Thanks for watching 🥰
The marbled ware is absolutely stunning-like you. Always looking gorgeous with a fantastic personality too. BTW the bloopers are hilarious😂😂. I appreciate how you share your techniques. Helps me immensely, knowing which glazes to buy. Take care and may 2024 be filled with good health and good fortune. Plus many more new glaze combo's
Hi Evelyn!! Sooo sorry it's taken me so long to respond, yikes! Thank you so much and it pleases me to hear that you enjoy and are inspired by my videos!! 🥰 psst...the amount of bloopers that I don't share is staggering...I crack myself when I'm editing 🤭🤣 Cheers!! lots more to come!
hey sarah, thank you for sharing, like your way of explaining, voice and how happy you are with the results. cause on my way looking for information i found many people feeling uncomfortable to watch the person. so share more
Hi Jared. I was firing to a cone 6 with a natural cool. When I did this video I was still using my older manual Kiln so very basic schedule. I think I need to try this glaze again in my new kiln and see what the results are...🤔
Im actually trimming several marbled mugs as I watch this video 😎 Im using alligator clay. I seem to like , besides the closest supplier is 3.5 hour drive one way. Yes i love the feel of raw clay. Thanks for the video
Thanks Gurl!! It felt great posting this video..far too long since my last upload! I’ve got even more content to edit and get out, so you’ll be seeing my face more in the coming weeks! If you can handle that! Lol!! 💕 thanks for your continued support!! You have always encouraged me to keep going! 🙏 😘
@@SarahWaltonPottery 💞 yippee more videos!!!! Go Sarah Go Sarah Go Sarah!!!! it's fall and we all need to be prepping for events/season! and I need studio company---and YOU are the best! Hugs---Happy you are back in the saddle! Get your groove thing going girl! HUGS!
Hi Sarah, thanks for the educative content 😊 i LOVE how you leave the bottom part unglazed, and i agree on the beautiful raw clay look & feel. Just a question for that unglazed bottom part, will it have a problem if i wash it with water? will bisque fired pottery break/be damaged after contacting with water?
Hi Reza! Thank you!! 🙏 To help answer your questions, greenware (clay that hasn’t been fired at all) will literally dissolve upon contact with water and can’t be washed. However bisque fired pieces absolutely can be wet. I actually rinse every piece once it comes out of the kiln and before I add my glazes. When a piece has gone through the bisque it vitrifies the piece but not as much as the final glaze fires does. With that said, raw unglazed clay should not be in contact with a food surface..you must glaze the parts of the pot that will hold food or drink not because it will fall apart but it won’t be food safe. I leave the lower part of the outside of my pots bare, and glaze the rest. So totally fine..by the time the piece has been fired to Cone 5-6 the piece will not have any problems with water. In fact it can go in the dishwasher and microwave and oven! Hope that helps!! 😁
I want to get a potters wheel but for now I only do ceramics. I have nails and always end up jabbing them into the pieces when removing them from the molds. I've never seen any user have nails of any length turning pieces using a wheel. Is it possible or would I need gloves? Your glazes must be mid fire. I use low fire and have to apply 3 coats instead of 2. Are there any 06 glazes that only use a 2 coat application? What kiln are you using? I like the one button start. Thank you for sharing.
Sadly, manicures are a thing of the past for most potters! My hands are so dry most of the time due to being in clay all the time. I used to go and get gel coating /shellac but always on super short nails, like no white tip showing for the exact reason you mention, they end up tearing and damaging your work not to mention the shine gets dulled very quickly, so it just wasn't worth it for me. Yes, I use mid fire glazes and I shoot to for ^5.5 - ^6 fire. (2170°- 2232°) I don't even have, nor have used any of the low fire glazes but I do know that Spectrum has some pretty ones! The kiln I was using in this video has since been retired , it was a 1961 Evenheat Kiln Sitter Kiln 17.5 inches (I recently upgraded and bought a brand new one Cone Art Kiln which is digital and so easy to operate! ). The old one had a push button to start however you have to flick switches,I don't even think they make them like that anymore the newer kiln sitters have dials which is also better, then what I had. I hope you find my answer useful or at least entertaining! 🤭
Yes I do! You have to wait if you want a proper application of glaze. There is no set time, but as you layer more glaze on, it take more time to dry in between each layer. The glaze will noticeably change when its dry, it becomes powdery in appearance. Wait until each layer is dry before adding more glaze. 😉
Thank you so much!! 🥰 I used both Chun Plum and Blue Rutile. They are similar in colour while glazing so it's hard to make out the difference visually as I placed them side-by-side.
Hi Julie, I haven't tried it with Snow so I don't feel entirely confident with this answer because it could work, If i had to choose I think that you would get better results with Honey Flux as that a runner for sure!
Love your work ❤, what advice would give to a new potter ? , I’ll be taking a beginner’s course in January at the The Visual Arts Centre of Clarington.
Hi Shawn! Thank you sooo much! My pottery journey began at the VAC too! It a great pottery studio and your going to love it! My advice to a new potter 🤔 Don’t give up, it’s not as easy as it looks but you will get the hang of it…master centring It’s the most important step, all forms come from it. Practice and keep practicing it, and practice more…Slow, steady hands always…pottery will teach/test your patience because there are so many elements that can go wrong along the way to a finished piece….And lastly, learn to pray to the kiln gods! 😂 🤭 let me know how you like your course 😉
Im so very sorry for my delayed reply, I've been a little overwhelmed lately getting ready for the Fall Markets etc. With that said, Yes i do have a video...ruclips.net/video/DFTuvJ3vz2g/видео.html this one is for pink clay, but I show you how to do it with two other clays. hope this helps!
Great question, I'm not really sure what a polymer pen is. The glazes that I use must be fired in a kiln between cone 5-6 which is 2185°-2232°F in order to transform into this finish. I don't think polymer clay can handle those temperatures. Hope that helps. 🥰
Hello! I use a variety of sanding blocks, and sandpaper, depending on my desired end result. If I just want/need to smooth the bottom I start with a 60 grit and go all the way up to 600 grit, I attach my pot to my wheel with my Giffin Grip and lightly run each block to give a supper smooth bottom, check out this video: ruclips.net/video/U4XnoTvHUiI/видео.html
I have a manual kiln so everything is a bit hit or miss. I usually aim for ^6 and my middle shelf is the hottest. I believe I got a hot ^6 with my ^7 guard cone slightly bending. So 6½ - 6¾ cone reading.
Whoops! I just noticed that I didn’t respond to your question. Sorry about that. I always shoot for cone 6 but I believe that the shelf that these came out of it got up to like cone 5 ¾ ..I have a manual kiln so I don’t get computer readings..I uses cones on every shelf to help me gauge things. My second shelf runs the hottest.
Hi Alka, Here is a link to the fan brush that I use, it's the #6 size - 1183R. It's pricy but worth it. If you are trying to find a brush elsewhere, look for fluffy natural bristle brushes, ultra soft goat is a great choice.
Hi! Yes it’s absolutely waterproof. The glaze fire temp takes care of that as it get so hot that it vitrifies the piece making it waterproof. You can put it on the dishwasher, microwave etc. it is considered food safe because the glaze is on the food or in this case drink surface. You should NOT leave the food surface without glaze and no pin holes on the food Surface would also render it not food safe as tiny bits of food could get stuck and could cause illness if it’s not washed properly. Hope that makes sense…and thanks for your question 😊
I am a beginner and the help you are giving with glazes is just what I am looking for. Ty so much!!!!
Thanks Cathy! 🥰🥰🥰

These turned out great. Can you tell me what cone you fired them at? Assuming each glaze called for the same cone? Thanks!

You’ve mad me want to get some more pearl white. Forgot how lovely it was and I never thought of mixing it up like that. Great video 👍

I have a question, can i glaze precise shapes, without that it expands ir dipps or flows over my shape ?
Beautiful work
Thank you so much!
Thanks for sharing! Do you wait between coats? How long?
Yes I do! You have to wait if you want a proper application of glaze. There is no set time, but as you layer more glaze on, it take more time to dry in between each layer. The glaze will noticeably change when its dry, it becomes powdery in appearance. Wait until each layer is dry before adding more glaze. 😉
thank you it's beautiful. Sorry but you put blue rutile or chum plum ? (my english is basic, i'm french)
