Cone 5, Medium Speed, 20 minute hold
2 hour preheat
Reached cone 5.5 by the self-supporting cones
Seems like the 20 minute hold was a bit too much as a few of the glazes melted on to the cookies, especially Spectrum Soft White although its my first time using it as well. I'm on a mission to get a perfect cone 6 in my kiln, but it didn't work out this time.
A few photos tacked on to the end, to show the "before" pictures of some pieces, the Moth plate, and the re-fire from a previous kiln opening.
The tiny trees are Ivy and Riptide, new glazes from Mayco 2023.
Any other questions about the glazes? Pop them in the comments, I love to talk glaze combos! Or reach out to me on instagram @redeftdesigns !
Hope everyone is having a fun summer!
Peace,
Amanda
Thank you for sharing your glaze adventures! It has inspired me to try a few more things and let the creativity flow! I enjoy your videos.
So glad it has inspired you! I just kind of go with what i feel and so far have had a hard time making the same ( or similar) thing twice ! Its so much fun! Good luck on your pottery journey☮️
I love your kiln openings! Always so many interesting things and great glaze combos...appreciate you sharing :)💗
Thank you! I just make whatever comes to me, I'm so glad its interesting to someone!!! 🧡
Thanks for sharing, love your glaze combos! Fearless…Liana
Thank you for sharing. Very cool combos. I love that purple cup and the manatee is so cute!!!
Thanks for watching! Purple is my fav 💜
You are so creative. Risk taking potter.
Oooo thank you! Thats quite a compliment!
I LOVE that purple aurora green goblet! Sweet!
Oh yeah! It turned out so good i just glazed another one in the same combo 💜💚
@@RedEftDesigns Sweet! I too love purple and green together. 🎨👍🥰
Very talented! All beautiful
Thank you so much!
YAAAY! So excited to watch this!! Just a little fyi for the lid. When you get it out of the mold be sure to dry it so the top is on your boards and put a weight bag on it. I had so many pieces that bowed and it really helped. Pour it thicker as well. Omg girl that’s sooo awesome how you made the moth antenna!!! You’re soo creative!! I absolutely love the vase you Meade. The flowers are soo pretty!!
Oh good tip i will def try that! I probably should have poured it way thicker it was super thin. First time with a mold and when you get all the way to the end fired piece you definitely learn a few things!!!
Thanks for the compliments! 💜☮️💜
@@RedEftDesigns So glad I could help. I so very much enjoy your videos since we both slipcast and handbuild. I just love your creativity.
Hi Amanda! Will you have another kiln opening video soon? Sure love seeing your creative endeavors! 💜💚💜
Hi! Thanks for the encouragement! I am working on a glaze batch now hopefull i will fire it before the end of october. Peace!
@@RedEftDesignsYou're welcome. Great to hear and much love. Looking forward to your next video! I too am glazing like crazy lol.
Amazing kiln opening!!! What’s that brown/red clay? It’s delicious 😋 love your pieces and combos!
Hi! I loved your recent opening as well! The brown clay is one i got from another potter who was moving out of town so its her own recipe mixed by laguna. I understand its most like laguna warm brown. I have about 200 lbs left but i LOVE it. Is just like chocolate and so beautiful for handbuilding.
@@RedEftDesigns wow that’s gold!!! I’m so excited about hand building again! My hubbs made me a bunch of plate and bowl molds that I can slab build and then put on the wheel for a foot! Can’t wait to try!
@@thehappyhomesteadnh oh thats super cool! Are they made from wood? I got a plaster bowl hump mold from clayking recently and made a slab bowl on it, worked awesome. At first i was only about mugs, but now plates and bowls seem so fun to me. Can't wait for my next glaze firing i haven't done one all summer!
@@RedEftDesigns yea he makes them on the lathe and then coats it with this beeswax from our honeybees! I’m determined to finally make us a real set of dishes and bowls that match 😂 which isn’t fun when glazing because I love to try all different combos and can never stick to one 😂 omg I know the feeling…I hadn’t posted since like may! Feels good to be back 💗
@@thehappyhomesteadnhi feel the same way about matching sets lol. Aww, I miss having bees, we had them for 3 years before we started attracting bears😬 but they are so amazing🐝
Very nice work! Did you say how many coats you used for the reactive red over the obsidian on your cast cup? Beautiful.....
Hi! Probably just 2 and 2...usually with spectrum i dont do more than 2 but if i did it again i would just do one good thick coat of obsidian and maybe 3 of the RR.
@@RedEftDesigns I will give it a go and thanks for your reply!
