I’m not a potter, but I love this woman and her beautiful home.

[@chrzzzzz]

This was very good. Thanks for taking the time to elaborate and explain matt glazes.

[@jakeshane]

This is super informative and interesting. Hope to see more interviews like this!

Thank you for making the video. Very informative because of the collaboration with Linda and your revise at the end. Very clear and well done script and filming also.

[@coronabong6664]

this is excellent thanks will watch some more

Would love more close ups of her work.

Muchas gracias por el video, ahora entiendo mejor algunos de los resultados que he tenido probando con esmaltes nuevos.

[@tinkerandthink]

Qué bien! Antes de aprender la teoría de los esmaltes, cada resultado parece un misterio. Poco a poco, las reglas aparecen!

[@rlund651]

Nice post. One way to get a Matt finish is to sand blast the pots. Sunshine Cobb uses this method. It gives her surfaces a nice soft feel.

[@mudchat4486]

Epic!

[@tinkerandthink]

Linda Bloomfield is awesome! Highly recommend her books, and she was great to talk with in person.

[@Espana2028]

What happens if I heat Matte Glaze 04 on Cone 6?

[@Espana2028]

Over fired

[@DonaldDrennan]

Could you talk about low fire .06 glazes?

[@tinkerandthink]

Sure, what do you want to know?

[@DonaldDrennan]

@@tinkerandthink how does the chemistry differ from high fire glazes?

[@Sheepdog1314]

the Japanese potters have a thing about crystallization

[@tinkerandthink]

Whatcha mean?

​@@tinkerandthink Check the tenmoku gloriously sparkling cups (that were made in China 800 years ago).
They are National treasure of Japan.
