SLIP TRAILING a pottery poticnica (413

- Join my discovery of the poticnica. It's the traditional Slovenian pottery bowl for baking potica, the most well-known form being nut roll. As a potter and the families potica baker when I learned of its revival in Slovenia, I knew I had to learn to make it.
As a potter when first seen it was hard to imagine a pot so altered was made on a potter's wheel and took some research to work out the complexities of forming one. In the modern era it's making could have been lost except for a few Slovenian potters. I look to Franc Kremzar, his daughter is now a next generation, and another young potter is breathing new life into an old form. I look to follow them, adapt my decorative elements and share with the Slovenian American community.
As the families potica baker I will never have the years of experience of my grandmother and her mother. With no one to show me and it not clearly spelled out in the many recipes in my grandmothers' handwritten book I got the seal of approval when a cousin uttered those words 'it's just like grandmas'. I've done the poppy seed and nontraditional apricot. Now with the poticnik in one hand and 'Woman's Glory the Kitchen' 1951 from the Slovenian Women's Union of America I've done the tarragon and chives. Without following the recipe because in 51 they forgot how to use fresh herbs I rejoined the dish of potica with the dish the poticnik.
I'm hoping to get further into my discovery at 'Slovenefest', a festival of Slovenian culture located between Pittsburgh and Clevland. fb.watch/liabL... Hopping to that they will accept me as the Slovenian American potter.

A number of Slovenian potters (I look to Frac Kremzar) kept this traditional pot alive when it could have been lost, it' s had a revival over there. My mission was to do the same here with the large Slovenian population from Pittsburgh to Cleveland. At this year's Slovenefest a large Canadian contingence, were so open to the old way. I packed many with care for the busses and trip home. Thanks for helping me expand my mission to eastern north America and all the warmth you brought to the festival.
Now you show us the real magic of this pot it goes from a bundt pan to a work of art aka poticnica beautiful
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Someday I'll make you some potica too.
So beautiful❤

Wow! You counted all the dots you put on a pot. It must take a long time for you to put all the dots on the pots and in the correct places. Amazing!
It took many years. From 1979 till today to be brave enough to do this,
Used a calculator where I could, dots and dots in dots up the inside side 10 + 10 outside X 21 around =420. With the others 650 more or less. Did I get it right? Maybe someone will check me.
Amazing!
Just little dots, but when they come together.❤
My gosh these are gorgeous!!!
Thanks so much for taking notice, specially of these. I've made a lot of pots but so have so many other potters. With these if I could figure out how to take marketing up a few levels like Wolff with the flowerpots, Fitch with the jugs, McAndrew, or Booton I could make my mark. A little late starting, I know I'm not them, however it goes feel I've found my place. ❤
@@pottersjournalI have been following you and watching your videos forever. You have made your mark on so many people. You take the time to help others and that I would say is leaving a mark. I know you want to sell these like the others you mentioned sell their pieces, I totally get that. And it sounds like you’re well on your way with these!!! I’m not sure a lot of people know what these are, I’m not a cook, by any means of the word, so be sure when you’re selling these that you make sure people know what they are. Maybe try and find a fake bunt cake online or the other foods that go in these so people see right off that they are. Don’t people use something like this for making a whole chicken? Of course I haven’t but I think I’ve seen it somewhere! lol. I love your work and I truly pray you’re proud of all you do.
@@micheledickey4066 Knew I'd heard from you before but not that it's been forever but did have a felling you'd known how far I'd come. Chicken roaster is a little different but did see today a cross someone had done. Discovered also a small Bundt-like for a festive yeast bread common in parts of central Europe. I'll have to bring more of this slip work to my production ware. Again thanks, especially for taking notice of this one and for opening my eye to a mark I've made and impact on others I've not met or know.
@@pottersjournal Aaw. Thats awesome for you to say. I’m glad I could tell you how I feel. I’m glad you found another use!!
So, I have to ask, Jeff, is the slip trailing a traditional thing with the poticnica, or is this a Jeffrey personal touch? Either way, it's beautiful!
Some of the old plainest are only green outside and a burnt sienna inside some even just raw terracotta. With not the crimped but straight rim, the what I call 'Slovenian squiggle' is very common as banding along with other simple banding. Banding, dots and some floral are prevalent more on other Slovenian pots. I've seen more on pots from Ukraine, Hungary, Czeck Republic and some smallish very elaborately decorated bundt-likes from Poland. At Slovenefest a recent traveler confirmed the regional and personal styles. The older generation kept it alive, but I've noticed younger potter in Ljubljana breathing some new life into the old pots, plenty of dot, I've seen the bubble glaze trick too. It clicked at the show that this not only was but is something passed down in families. That if I get enough out there even without the stamp JK and Kohut signature mine would be labeled as 'attributed to'. So, for the most part I plan to take then over the top. ❤
This is hours of work!!!😂
Going to try this when class starts in September. Do I have process right: slip trail on leather hard, bisque, then glaze? How does glaze not cover up all the dots? Thanks, working up nerve to do this.
Yes, slip on the wetter side of leather hard, bisque then TRANSPARENT glaze. Not as easy as it looks, slip has to be just right. Try first on ornaments or something small.
May I ask where you purchased the
blue bulb you use
Ceramic craft tool makers sell it for too much. Go to a pharmacy. Earwax removal kit, throw out the ear wax liquid, keep the blue squiggi applicator thing.
