Hand built slab trays and bowls.

- Simple slab built trays and a spectacular bowl project that can be made with just a few stamps, a rolling pin and a sprinkle of creativity. You can add a thrown foot or use a coiled foot, may be add three balls of clay as a foot, endless possibilities. Lots of texture stamping possibilities to play with.
Vaughan, your kerchief bowls are spectacular! I agree, one thing that attracts me to ceramics is the infinite variety of projects and techniques. I could do this for 100 years and still be learning and trying new things.
Well done, and thank you for the tutorial!
You made me laugh when you said pottery can't have to many boards... so true! thanks you so much for all you share!
The same could be said of shelves.
@@Vsmithpots yes for sure.
Thank you Vaughan. This morning you inspired me to make some small slab textured dishes, while I was waiting for customers in my open gallery 😊
So I am not the only one working Sunday morning. Thanks.
You are an amazing artist Mr Vaughn Smith🙏🏼
I love a bit of he handbuilding❤ Great ideas, the floppy bowls were magnificent!!!
Thanks
Vaughan...you have just such amazing artistry! Im so inspired by your work . Thank You (and your Mrs. as well ;-))
You are welcome.
Thank you for addressing the purple one. I was going to ask that question because I have all four of those books. 😎
You are welcome.
So beautiful! What a pleasure to watch a master at work.
Too kind, thanks.
Thanks Vaughan I’m just taking a hand building classes right now so perfect timing!! 😊. But those bowls! Wow amazing colors spectacular and you make it look so easy…..
Hi Mary, glad you liked them.
Beautiful yalls work is always beautiful. Thank you for sharing
You are welcome.
I made a flair bowl following your instructions. A a novice hand builder, I am thrilled with the result. I glazed it with a seashell motif glaze adding a coil foot . Stunning. It holds so much. Thank you for your inspiration
Congratulations, I sold one of mine, still have two left. They are fun to make.
My wife and I always love watching you work, and your approach to design and building. It's such a pleasure. And then your finished pieces are, well, just breathtaking!
Thank you, sorry RUclips placed ads in the middle of the video.
Beautiful work!!
Such beautiful work of art!
I’ve just had a very busy Sunday morning and afterwards I sat for a relaxing hour or so watching your video, this was wonderful, I’m itching to get the clay out and play, so I know what I’ll be doing tomorrow! I’ve made a lot of bowls like the wavy ones before, but you’ve still given me lots of tips and new ideas. Thankyou so much for sharing, a beautiful video!
Thank you, it was nice to have a change of pace.
I made little trays like that and my son used one for guitar pics. I use one for hair clips and tooth picks.
OMGm The "Floppy Bowl" looks like something you would find on the ocean floor! Absolutely GORGEOUS!
Thanks Connie, I thought it had a flower potential.
Oh my! I just found this network...and wowie! These are the most beautiful bowls I've ever seen--I'm gobsmacked. Thank you, Vaughn Smith, for creating beauty.
Thank you, there are lots of videos in my past years of RUclips. Plenty of winter nights viewing.
🤩🤩🤩😍😍😍 woderful pieces!
Thanks
Me encanto su trabajo, felicidades, deseo ver mas❤
Oh My Goodness! I’d that an old pastry or noodle sheeter! Great thing. I bet it weighs a ton!
next time when you attach the foot, try adding a very thin roll of clay between the two. Then you wouldn’t have lost that lovely extra rim. Also, the big one that you took the wrap off before you put it on the bowl, that white bucket on your table…..perfect matchup. Another bowl, but a different bottom. You could even make a rectangular slab base!
Simply beautiful work! Thanks for sharing. Now I have to try it!
Good luck.
Thanks Vaughan for sharing and all the tips! They are very beautiful and original😊
Thanks.
Why? Why I ask. Why did you have to touch me in my heart? Why did you have to be so generous with your knowledge and skills? Why did you have to come into my life and give me hope to create? You ate such a kind man to be so giving. I can't afford a lot of what is needed, nor do I have the knowledge how, but you sure made my mind think. Where it will lead me I don't know but I am absolutely greatful to continue forward in knowing you. There's a lot to read into this comment but as long as you understand it that's really all that matters to me...
Glad to be helpful, just follow your dream and don't let anything get in the way of achieving it.
Wow this is the first time I've ever watched anything like this. They're beautiful!!!! I was mesmerized the entire video
Thank you, I am happy even if I put you to sleep, it is nice to give people an escape after a hectic day.
Beautiful!
I jumped to catch the slab at 51.30 Haha - that would be a neat trick from PA. I love these and will be back at it next week.
Thanks, flipping is tough on the shoulders.
thanks Vaughn that was very enjoyable!
I wonder sometimes if they are getting too long.
They’re absolutely beautiful!!! I love them.
Thanks.
I am a fluid artist and I watch a lot of other artist to learn new techniques etc. Your video played right after something else I was watching, and I was absolutely mesmerized through the entire thing. I can’t wait to watch another of your videos.
Thank you for watching, there are hundreds of videos to watch if you look back over the years. The early ones are a bit raw technically. They are good for winter watching.
So beautiful, thank you for showing
You are welcome.
Fantástico,maravilloso||gracias por compartirnos tu bello arte❤
Stunning! Thank you for the start to finish process.
You are welcome.
I noticed this morning that RUclips have put ads during my video. Is that just when I watch my video or does everyone get this? I have deliberately not monetized the channel to prevent these annoying ads appearing during my videos. Of course I do not read the terms of conditions so may be that is just the cost of downloading videos, nothing is free in life. Apologies for the annoying ads.
I have noticed more ads on other channels as well. The ads didn’t keep me from watching your entire video though!
@@hlee2529 A team of wild horses couldn't keep me from watching lol.
I have purchased from RUclips, for $119 a year, so I don't get any commercials on my RUclips feed.
Yes, it's a added expense, but watching the same commercials over and over, was making me BATTY! 🤓.
I have an ad blocker on my home computer, so I don't see them. On my phone, though, I've noticed that ads are becoming more frequent, more widespread, louder, longer, and more offensive almost weekly. It's not just you.
Apparently in the terms there is a clause that RUclips can put ads onto anyone's videos whether you want them or not... and even if you haven't reached that 1,000 subscribers that you have to reach before you can monetize. So, whether you monetize or not, ads can appear... and often do once someone gets even a little popular. If you don't monetize, it just means RUclips makes all the cash. I tend to use "skip" when the ads become too much.
Thank you for this really helpful and enjoyable video.
You are welcome.
Great video Vaughan - absolutely gorgeous ❤
You are welcome.
So pretty and good job!
Thanks, I have three orange cats.
Outstanding!!! I loved listening to the music too...Thanks!
Absolutely gorgeous work! I am amazed that one person can take a piece of clay and make a masterpiece! Bravo!
Thanks
Looks like Van Gogh color palette.
Thank you for sharing your expertise. Your works are truly magnificent. ❤❤❤
Those bowls are beautiful!! Both the shape and the color is fantastic. Thank you❤️🤗🐝
Thanks.
@@Vsmithpots you’re welcome❤️🤗🐝
Wonderful!
Thanks
It is wanderful. Thank you. 😊
You are welcome.
Does this clay not have a memory? These are so adorable❤ That giant bowl is fabulous!😊
Yes the clay particles can have a tendency to warp due to processes in construction.
Your videos are fabulous! Thank you for sharing your skill and time 😀
Your slabroller looks like mine - Northstar. Also, I damaged the tendons in my wrist by banging on clay and was laid up for three months while it healed. I since learned to use a mallet instead of my hand! Take care!
Good to know. I've had surgery on both hands already.
I tried making one based on my memory of this video and it totally failed. Then I made a second one watching your video carefully and it was so much easier. You are an incredible teacher!
Thanks, I am currently working on a sink version of this, the video will air in February.
I LOVE YOUR ART AND YOUR BEAUTIFUL STUDIO.
Thank you
These are so beautiful. When I first saw them, I thought they were glass. Thank you.
I believe that's a North Star slab roller. It's one of the few brands which adjusts the slab thickness by raising or lowering the roller, rather than having to insert shims in the bed. Great tip on getting square(ish) slabs Can't wait to try it. Those ovals seem to waste a lot space on the ends making me roll more slabs to fit that last piece. Those bowls are just fantastic.
Thanks, I got the slab roller second hand.
Absolutely wonderful! Thank you for sharing this. 😊
Mesmerizing to watch and absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much. Wow
Loved watching your process. Beautiful work!
Thanks.
You are using all my favourite textures. The Celtic ones. I would love to visit as we may share common ancestors!!,
Born in Scotland.
Really nice, thank you for showing us...
You are welcome.
Thank you for your wonderful video! I've been making large bowls similar to yours since the middle 70's, using lace pressed into the clay with slip painted over it to accentuate the pattern. One difference in technique is that I use pieces of old bed sheets to roll the clay on. It's not so hard to peel the clay off and leaves almost no mark. I can roll out thin enough to move easily. I love the way you glaze these large pots on the inside! I suspend mine on a jar over a large bowl to pour glaze over the outside after dipping the stem in a smaller bowl with glaze in it to glaze the stem. I have always made the stems the day before, but will try making and adding them immediately! That looks interesting!! I tried a slab with stamps, etc., yesterday!! What fun!!!!! Again, thank you for sharing! Ann Sciba
Thanks for the comment, I have a new video coming in a week or two making one of these into a sink.
BEAUTIFUL
Amazing work. Thank you for sharing with us.
Thanks.
Absolutely beautiful!!! I am an novice working with clay but the tips you gave are so helpful!! May you have many more years of inspiring others!!!
Thanks I hope to be potting for many more years.
Gorgeous
❤very georgious love your work incredible😊 iowa close to the mississippi❤
Very kind of you to share your methods and ideas. I am inspired! I teach in a high school and will be sharing many of your techniques with students. Thank you so very much.
Good luck, I taught high school for 5 years. I am still in touch with some of them 40 years later.
You sure did such a large number of projects and shared so much with us. I love hand building, along with throwing. These are such fun and inspiring projects. Thank you for sharing. I am anxious to do some of these. I would just be in Heaven with the view outside my window being the ocean. Love your music also.
Thank you, glad to help.
Molto bello!!!!
Nádherné 😲😲😲😲
Thanks
I was memorized by your hand building techniques. Will be in NS late June maybe be able to see your gallery.
Thanks, see you soon.
The roller you use is made for going over the seams in wallpaper after you first hang it.
Thanks.
Beautiful
Wonderful and informative video. Thanks!
Wonderfull…I can’t stop watching, awesome
Muito lindo!!!!❤️
I love what you do... and how you do it. I currently live in an apartment so can't have my kiln right now... but I can' work with other types of clay that don't need one. Watching you make your slabs into beautiful pieces reminded me of collaging papers for my junk journals.... a bit here, another bit there... something else in this spot... oh, that one is a little covered by this one... there's a pretty piece for here. You know?
Thanks for commenting, texture is fun and can be surprising after the glaze firing. Non firing clay never did it for me but look up Deboarah Rogers from Virginia who does great work without firing the clay. Here is a link. facebook.com/people/Deborah-G-Rogers-Artist/100062979261953/
Wow! Lov that so much!😊
I really love your vessel!! I liked the organic shape, colors and textures! The texture on the inside rim was my favorite part of your piece; simply stunning!!
Thank you. Making them is fun.
First time I watched 👍🏻your channel. Nice. Liked watching & listening to u work.
I love your work, very talented. I really like the draped platters.
I love that you showed your glazed and finished pieces in this instructional video. Very well done! THANKS MUCH!! Liked and Subscribed!!
Thank you.
A thin plastic shower cap would fit well over your bisque bowel.
My first-time watching. Just beautiful!!! Love ❤️ ❤❤
Thank you
Vaughan your tutorial looks very interesting so I've downloaded it so that I can watch it later, I'm not very well at the moment, and I dont want to miss any of it.
I hope you recover soon.
Beautiful
Great videos, hearing you talk or not, is better than music though
I joke that the music will wake you up during these long videos.
Nidec by Shimpo is my guess for the slab roller. I just picked one up second hand too. This video was my motivation to move on from just wheel throwing. Thank you for the great sharing of your talent! Thought about you during the recent storms Sept 23 and hope you avoided any damage. All The Best from Idaho!
Thanks, we are being blown around by Phillipa tonight, just 50mile winds. Tonights video shows Lee a few weeks back.
Just for information...
Those two tools with the handles that you thought might be for wallpaper or plaster (they can be used for the plaster for sure) are also texture tools to add wood grain to things. You lay down a dark colour and let it dry, then lay a light colour over top and drag the tool in one direction, tipping it back and forth as you do, and it puts a nice wood grain down. Then let that dry before varnish or glaze is added. You can also use those pointy parts to drag other patterns onto projects.
I have two of those tools so I should try them out. Thanks.
I'll be watching. One other thing I do differently is use quilt batting, the soft kind that I can tear up, to stuff the curves after I get the bowl over the drape mold. It's strong enough to hold and, since it's going under the cloth the bowl is draped over, doesn't get dirty, while helping to hold the shape.
That is a good idea, the toilet rolls I use can leave a slight edge that has to be smoothed out.
Wow 🎉🎉🎉
. I want to do that
Most than pretty nice!!🎉🎉🎉
Thank you.
I just finished watching you make a lamp base. Have you tried making a
Shade to match the base? I really think that would be amazing.😊
I’m sure there is a Google video you could learn how! You have such a loving following of people.
Thanks again. My wife told me no, so I have to keep her happy, I will try and come up with another way but I am happy enough just to help others.
Me gusta lindos❤
I want to visit. 😮
Please show the finished pieces of your talented and hard work!
He did show them in the video. Beautiful work!
@@cpnotill9264 Thanks for answering this one for me.
很棒的作品!
谢谢，特别是因为中国在陶器方面拥有如此伟大的历史。
Thank you
thank you so much for these videos. I have learned so many tips and tricks, especially as a new slab builder. One question for you. How do you keep the clay from drying out on the 4 other slabs you rolled while you work on the first one?
They do not dry much but you can cover them with plastic.
These are amazing! My question is what keeps them from warping as they dry?
Timing is everything with clay. I support the piece with sponges and soft paper when it is upside down, I only flip it right way up when it can support itself.
Love your videos, have just discovered them, they are
so informative and clear. Great ideas, great pottery, thanks so much for sharing. Wondering what you had that large piece of wood on (which the clay slab was laid) and it turned so easily? Thanks so much, M.K.M.
They are concrete boards used in construction, thanks for the appreciation.
I think your little roller is for pressing down the seams on wallpaper
Gorgeous! Do you use pouring glazes for the sponging, and do you use multiple coats?
Any glaze works and the thicker the glaze the more runs.
Very informative content! Thank you for your great videos.
If I could ask, where do you buy the foam you use for the slump moulds? Thanks
it is insulation from a building supply.
I have a question about your satin matte oatmeal glaze. I mixed up a batch using the recommendation of tin oxide. The tin oxide came as a black powder, and would not dissolve in the glaze mixture, it just sinks to the bottom. Is there a tin dioxide that I should use?
Here is where I buy it. psh.ca/collections/tin-oxide
It is always a white powder. I suspect they sent you Illmenite by mistake. Tin has gone up in price a lot. I may investigate using Ultrox Extra also available here. psh.ca/collections/ultrox-extra-zircon.
I will be ordering some in July or August so i will post the results of testing it.
Good Morning from Arizona. Could you tell me please Vaughan, how do I mend small cracks in my pottery that is drying to go in to bisque? Ty, you are great & so VERY talented.
You can buy a product called Patch Attach which will fill the crack, it will even re-join a broken handle.
@@Vsmithpots Thank you I will check where to buy.
Great. The selfmade stamps with the Flowers from your wife are so beautyful. How does she made them? ❤
I will make some in a video soon. Thanks.
