    Hi folks - thanks for all the comments, it's been a pleasure reading through them and seeing your enthusiasm for these tests. It's always a great feeling when there's a response like this. I know I don't ask... well, I've never asked, but I spoke to my YT manager, (yes I have one), and she told me that likes on videos do genuinely really help, so if you could leave a like I'd be immensely grateful!
    Secondly... if there's any more tests like this you'd like to see, or something different, or if you have any interesting ideas, I'd love to hear them! I'll soon be starting a new making cycle and want to get a gauge on what sort of videos you guys want to see.
    Have a brilliant, peaceful Sunday, and thanks so much for watching!

      You could try the metal shavings with an indigo or violet glace to make a bigger contrast that could look great

    I have a tip I've learned from being a lazy baker, which might apply when mixing glaze. Typically the smaller ingredients are more sensitive to variance in amounts, so you may find yourself fussing over getting every last speck out of the measuring vessel. Assuming you use the same measuring vessel for several ingredients, you start with measuring the smallest ingredient, pour out, tare, measure the next smallest, and so on, until the largest ingredient. This way every last bit of the smaller ingredients gets included, and the amounts that are included in the mix are very close to what you measured.

      @floriangadsby  Před měsícem +46

      The original colour is so punchy - I mean, in theory, I could simply mix a whole batch of clays with colourful stains and fire them in my electric kiln, it's the reduction firing that causes some clays to dull down, but that would require a lot more testing! Maybe a future video series?

    The comment about cleaning up looking like a murder scene reminded me of my first week working at Sherwin Williams. The bottom of a gallon of red tint exploded in a shaker. A few drops of pigment colors an entire gallon of paint and IT. NEVER. DRIES. Being the newbie, I was tasked with cleaning it up. My boss had a very good picture of me laying against the shaker after hours of scooping, wiping, sponging, and there's still a huge puddle of red around me. I was knee and elbow deep in red and looked like *I* was the murder victim. Everything I was wearing had to be trashed 🥲

    Really cool. There is a certain farmhouse/homestead aesthetic here in the US that would absolutely lose their minds over these.
    I noticed one thing with your bucket and your ingredients when mixing. You can try sliding the lid onto the bucket to close it off and that will reduce the amount of fine particles getting loose. Uses the same principle as controlling a grease fire in a pot. By sliding the lid on you are disturbing the air less inside the container.

    These pots are very, very beautiful - and I'm sure their velour would only read all the clearer and more dynamic in person. Admittedly, watching your videos always fills me with itchy anticipation. Your extremely measured and regularized movements, your rigorous mixing and coning and shaping and trimming and firing and glazing and firing again (and sometimes again, and again); but also your decanting, your unwrapping and unfurling, your handling and storing, your absurd wrapping and rewrapping and boxing, and especially your cleaning, yes, your cleaning; all these actions/behaviors (many more could be listed), for me, make up the media of your practice as much as bronze flecks and course or fine clay bodies. And they are ever exaggerated by the severe meticulousness of your own documentation, and exhaustive (often recursive) explanation, which likewise contributes to the experience of your pots and practice as a whole, at least for an admirer far-afield.
    I feel always in wait for 'the other shoe to drop,' for something, anything to go even slightly awry. Nothing ever does. I'm not hoping for error but in incredulous disbelief of total consistency. Something subtle and beautiful always emerges and satisfies within that beauty and that subtlety. But I'm always left, each time, just a little bit more eager for something extreme or crazy or surprising to happen instead. The kiln door opens and butterfly flutters out? Maybe I've been watching too much surrealism.
    Through your work I meditate on the differences between artist and craftsman. I wonder about our cultural worship of the bombastic, explosively genius, and on our less keen acknowledgment of the rule and fidelity to process, and the ever repeated, though evolving iteration. Thank you always for your work.

    For this round, what wonderful clay and glaze. Shockingly beautiful. I wonder if you can give more clear stage to each of the actors. The clay and glaze as quite harmonious but at the same I’d love to see each celebrated individually. As is, they are freaking gorgeous. These are just musings of someone who wishes he had the space and skill to explore this medium as you are.
    Regarding the metal particles, maybe explore different size particles as well as volume of particles. Maybe exaggerate the variations of particles will add more intrigue without over speckling it? Please keep making!

    i love how this combination of glaze + bronze spotting looks almost cosmic, especially when you place them on a lighter, reflective surface. they really land in a brilliant middle ground between resembling the naturalistic (tree bark, etc) and the futuristic (through the metallic, meteoric quality they take on, combined with the precise minimalism of the forms)! fantastic work as always!! :)
