Great to see you back! To add my 2 cents to the mix, if you pop a glazed piece into the oven and get it hot before trying to dip to reglaze, the new layer will be much thicker and will dry almost instantly. Same with brushing glaze on too. Sure you already know but just thought I’d say in case it’s helpful! Thanks for the great content, it’s incredibly useful to see all your experiments and that you include the things you didn’t like as much as well as the successes. I learn a lot from it.
I really appreciate your persistence and honesty. Most videos clay artist post are so successful it leaves me wondering “how do they do that every time”? So, seeing your process reassures me I am quite normal. Thank you.
it's autentic, unique, and awesome--- it's your creation it's family and i'm glad it has a special spot in your garden. Make sure you sign it and date it. i Love it.
I thought the first firing was beautiful already but the second firing is stunning! Love how you showed your experiment and the end result was just speechless.
I really like how it came out at the end! I was totally feeling your pain throughout the whole process, though. We've all been there. And that sigh at 5:18...really made me laugh. 😄
First time seeing you. Love the way you show bloopers. Love the ombré effect at the end. Ok inclusions but you didn’t do it to sell but yo experiment. I’m getting a kiln soon for jewellery but gonna add pottery jewellery to so I need to learn bisque and glazing etc
I love the last one. Even with the inclusions. Didn’t you do a previous video where you added a base to a vase? The blue makes me think if you’re going to put it out in the yard, it would be a beautiful water feature. Fountain. ?
Hi Justin, been a fan of all your experiments. Hey I was wondering if you ever try to make/cast your own kiln shelf with refractory cement? Is that possible? Hope you are well! Greetings from indonesia! :)
To built up glaze on fired pieces, spray multiple light coatings, drying each coating with a heat gun. Mount the piece being glazed on an electric wheel for even application using the spray gun.
On one reglaze I tried the second dip ran considerably in rivulets which I decided to fire as is assuming it would melt together. It left what looks like a silhouette of a stand of trees, one of my favorite pieces. A problem I find with commercial glazes is the way they react in a reduction firing. Seems the commercial market is geared more toward electric/oxidation firing formulas and I fire with propane. Some work fine, some turn out horrible and nothing like the test tiles on display at the ceramics supply store. Here's a project for you to try, if you haven't given it a go yet: mocha diffusion. On my list....
Somebody gave me the tip of adding pehatine to the glaze when refiring. Worked wonders. Usually I heat the pieces that need refiring to 120°C so that the glaze dries quickly. But that doesn't work well. The trick with hair spray doesn't work at all. Pehatine is the only thing that worked for me. The glaze becomes thicker. Maybe cmc would work too.

You have a great voice. Enjoy seeing your experiments and your sense of humor. More please!!!

I quite liked the first blue you did before you added the white band. The last blue Is also nice with the streaky top😊
I really enjoy your experiments and the crazy ideas you come up with. Please post more regularly. Your videos are always entertaining
Fun staff in 2022...
Cheers...Freddie
Great to have you back! I actually really like the first one; it reminds me of a sunset. The colors would look great on a succulent plant pot.
First time seeing you. Love the way you show bloopers. Love the ombré effect at the end. Ok inclusions but you didn’t do it to sell but yo experiment. I’m getting a kiln soon for jewellery but gonna add pottery jewellery to so I need to learn bisque and glazing etc
,,ast one by far is the best
I love it!!!
What cone was the final firing? You are an inspiration with your enquiring mind and the guts to go for it... gotta love it!!
I love the last one. Even with the inclusions. Didn’t you do a previous video where you added a base to a vase? The blue makes me think if you’re going to put it out in the yard, it would be a beautiful water feature. Fountain. ?

Blue is a colour that takes over

How's the pug mill holding up? Did you add vacuum to it yet?

Especially with the original choice

Please tell me how I get a stamp from you
The blue pot is absolutely beautiful 😻you should not have refired it )
Brown would be better colour
