- Another successful kiln unloading using my Skutt kiln. Cone 6 (fired to come 6.5) slow fire natural cool down.
2 table lamps, mugs, oil burners, trinket bowls.
Love the glaze combos, the blue items are just beautiful, the lamps are stunning, just stunning you must be so pleased. Hope the show was a great weekend😊
I am so glad you don't mess around talking and not showing. Finally these other potters get to showing as they talk. I really appreciate that about you. Some of us don't have as much time to spend just watching videos. And your work is always so beautiful and creative. Thank you.
Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful!! Thank You!
Absolutely fantastic results. Love many of your mugs and small bowls.
This video is a gem. Well done, Lois.
Thankyou so much.
Thank you, love that you share your glaze combos, I'd love to give you a thumb up yet that button is missing!
You Are very talented
Daddy loves u💜💜💜💜💜😁
I love your work and those lamps are fantastic! Thanks for sharing 😁
You are an incredible artist. I love your work. All truly lovely pieces. I am a new potter in USA. I take notes on what you are doing. Thank you for posting.
Great kiln opening, showing lots of different techniques.
They turned out great! Beautiful colors.
Beautiful pieces!!
What a lovely kiln full! You must be so pleased. Hope your event goes well.
Well done. Good luck on your show
You do beautiful work❤️
I love the slip on the bisque Lois, really nice as you can definitely see the design with out it running into the main body of the pot 😊
Fabulous pieces Lois, I hope your event went well...... Will watch again with my notebook to keep some of your lovely combinations!
Anytime. Just ask if unsure. I did make some Mistakes and then put the correct one in the corner.
@@LoisHook thanks Lois you're very kind 😃
12:16 you can't fool me that isn't lavender mist 😉that is blue hydrangea I love that glaze and it does well on dark clay. I like to layer a stable purple glaze underneath blue hydrangea it makes the purple pop and you can glaze the base purple to the bottom. Amaco Chun Plum is probably closest to the location (California) purple glaze I use. Your glaze combos are always so stunning.😊 That you for sharing.
I need to check !!
@@LoisHook - it is Blue Hydrangea
Look forward to hearing how you event goes.
Or you can drill those holes in the earring pot using a small diamond bit for a Dremel tool
My iron lustre turned out a brown color, almost looks like wood. It is beautiful but all brown, no green. I probably need to float it more?
What a wonderful load with great reactions and a very neat selection.
Great load all around, very crisp.
Would you share the firing schedule Lois, I am always tweaking mine and looking at what others do to get great results?
Thanks for sharing and say hello to your Mum.
Cheers...Freddie
Hi Freddie. So it’s a preset computerised Skutt Kiln at cone 6. It does fire a bit high but that’s not caused an issue to my pots. I will see if it’s in. I will see if I can get info off the kiln.
Mums doing much better thanks xx
Wonderful pieces. I like the obsidan and blue and oatmehl most. At what temperature are your fiering ?
The kiln has a preset system. So I put it on cone 6. It does fire high cone 6.
Thank you
Every single piece is jus amazingly good!! The lamps are just incredible!!! I’d love to see how you did the carving on them. Just amazing work.
May I give you a suggestion please. I see you leaning on the edge of your kiln a lot and it is very very hard on your kiln walls. The soft brick is not very strong at all and you are damaging the kiln every time you lean on it like that. Just wanted to let you know. I’d hate for anything to happen to it.
Thanks Michele for the advice. I do lean on it. So I will keep remembering but also tell me off if you see me doing it again.
There is a video for the carving the lamps

Also just going to to put a new video about using Oatmeal.
Thank You Lois! they all are lovely. Can you please let us know what clay body you are using? I am in the U.S. so I dont think we have access to the same clays as the U.K., but hoping I could find something here in the States that is similar to what you are using. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanking you in advance for any info!
It’s called Lavaflek
www.potclays.co.uk/clays-slips-grogs/view-all-clays/lavafleck
The flecks that are already baked clay mean the glaze doesn’t stick so you get the black marks through best seen on the white mug.
hey lois i noticed on the lamp bottom there is no indention for the power cord will you show how you do them
So there is a hole cut for the wire at the bottom of the lamps. It’s just a case of finding the correct hole cutter for a 0.75 3 core wire. I think you will see that better on the next video I’m going to put up about using oatmeal in glaze layering.
@@LoisHook ya ok sorry i didnt see the hole for the wire i love all the combos that you do i use amaco also have learned alot from watching your videos great work
Could you tell me the name of the wicks and where I can buy? I'd like to try making some oil burners! Thanks!
I just bought them from Amazon. Plus a candle oil that is not supposed to burn with smoke. Sorry not sure what I looked up to find them.
Lois, thank you so much for sharing. I have been watching you since you started. We have been learning as you learning, and you are doing well. Way to go. Are these fired cone 6, slow or regular. For your bottoms, I have switched from carving names, to signing with underglaze ink from Minnesota Clay.
Hi William thanks for sharing my journey. Usually I do a cone 6 skutt KMT 1018 that has a preset computer front screen.
I did have a big planter that I fired with the water feature and it cracked. I was told when doing big or think clay use slow fire on glaze so it has time to warm up and slow down. Interesting lt looks like the slow fire does a slow cool. Anyway the result was as consistent and ancient copper was great.
I love the candle lamps. Do you have a clear glass hurricane cover for it? Or, just the naked flame? I also adore that red… Gut Hellrot. What a name, though!
Solar red is another name for this colour. No they have a naked flame. Work well as we had one going at the show for hours.
Does your kiln have a vent?
Hi. No I do not have a vent on it.
