- In this video we unload another glaze kiln containing some of my own work and also my newly welcomed back students work. They are such a talented bunch. I have also reglazed a fountain top by applying hairspray before adding more glaze and reglaze fired applying Amaco Sky/Seaweed and Textured Turquoise to great effect over the previously underglazed and rather uninspiring first glaze fire. The top is part of a two part fountain I have been working on inspired by seeing the turtles in Barbados in January 2020 - just before Covid kicked off!
A new student, Fern, has made some really lovely test tiles in readiness for her project to make a dinner service. Really interesting textures and oxide/glaze combinations. Karen has used a large leaf to make a great water bath for the birds. Fabulous use of oxide on craft crank which can be left outside all year round. Great to see my students back to creating some fantastic pieces
I had a go at replicating a mug I purchased from Hamilton’s Pottery on Barbados by using Cobalt and Copper Oxide. I suspect this will have more glaze added and will go through the kiln for another glaze firing. All in all a good prototype to learn from.
My work is available to purchase via my Etsy shop (link below) if you’d be kind enough to take a look.
Hi I’m Sarah Amos. I gave up my day job and am now living the dream as a full-time potter and teacher, running courses from my studio, The Pottery Corner, in a little village just outside Chichester on the South Coast of England. With Cissy and Charlie, my studio companions, we welcome students of all abilities from complete beginners to the more experienced, teaching throwing on the potters wheel as well as handbuilding techniques.
I love to share my clay experience and knowledge by passing on pottery techniques in my Top Tip Tuesday videos; which include full tutorials on items to try out yourselves. I also sell my work via my Website and Etsy Shop. So grab a cuppa, sit back, relax and let’s dive into what’s going on in The Pottery Corner today.

I always bring back either a handmade mug or a wine glass from my travels, it's so nice to use them later and think of the place they're from :) Much better than the "usual souvenirs" and then I get to support the local artists as well. Win-win :)
Definitely win-win. Thanks so much for watching 😁
I also purchased pottery from Hamiltons in Barbados. A lovely couple with a very nice outdoorsy studio :) His son was in the Great Pottery Throwdown.
How about that! Such a small world. Thanks for watching 😁
Absolutely I buy pottery from other potters. I collect tea bowls. I have so many cups - no room for any more cups. Love the birdbath. I am going to start using your phrase “I quite like that.”
Hi Carolyn- I'm in Dorset- such a beautiful county- found an amazing potter here called Ian Harris at Corfe Castle- very interesting 😀
It's really beautiful indeed. So rich in every detail and textures and colours. Amazing.
Thanks so much Ulisses - the fountain is a couple of seasons old now and still going strong! Thanks for watching again. Great to have you along 😀
Amazing ideas. Love the leaf dish. watching from Digby, Nova Scotia . I am addicted to your videos.
I love visiting other pottery studios and yes, I definitely make purchases. I don’t even drink out of my own mugs.
I'm glad it's not just me then! Just can't resist. Thanks for watching. Great to have you along 😀
Holy moly, that bird bath, you've outdone yourself!
Hi Cher - it's certainly a monster piece! I'll post a quick video once it fits together and the fountain is in. Thanks for watching 😁
Exceptional fountain piece! and wow...that was a snug fit in the kiln! Great to see different ideas from the kiln too, thanks Sarah
Hi Lisa - there was so little room when I bisque fired it that I had to lower into the kiln with a sling! I slightly misjudged the size when making 🤣
I absolutely love watching you
Love the fountain.
Thanks for watching Patti. Great to have you along 😀
Wow! Love the fountain 😍 Fantastic work!
Thanks Pia - great to have you along again 😊
I just can’t tell you how absolutely AMAZING your turtle piece is!! I am fascinated at everything you did with it!! I would love to try and make one!!
Thanks Michele- that's kind. Pretty pleased with it. I'll post a quick video once I have it up and running. Thanks for watching 😁
Love your birdbath, it's so nice. I also like buying other potters mugs.
Hello again and thanks for tuning in again. There's something about Mugs that makes them easy to collect 😄
Amazing pieces...wowww
Thanks Mona - great to have you along.
Love the water feature!!! What a beauty. I love mugs. I try to only buy special ones. Recently I bought one from a potter in Nova Scotia.
Hi Mary -Thanks for watching and your kind words 🙏
I love to buy other people’s work. Beautiful work.
Thanks for watching Katrina. Great to hear from you 😁
Love the dusty blue slip!
Hi Celia - it's a peacock blue stain but I have thinned it down a couple of times so not as thick. Probably needed another coat but Fern ran out of session time. I'd be pleased with that haul! Thanks for watching again 🙂
@@thepotterycorner love watching on CZcams but sometimes need to watch less and get in the studio more!!!
@@celiagreenaway725 absolutely!
Watched this one from onboard our boat in the middle of Lake Okeechobee, FL. 🙂
Lovely! Sounds idyllic. Thanks for watching 😁
Hi Sarah, happy to year you have real live people in your studio again. Your memory for the glazes and techniques used is phenomenal! Thanks again for another very interesting video.
Thanks Keryn. I just live and breathe and dream glazes- sad or what!🤣. Thanks for watching again
Just purchased 2 sets over the weekend:)
Hi Deborah- your purchase will be collected tomorrow and on it's way to you. I really really appreciate your support. 🙏. Have fun with the stamps
Always buying other potter’s work, cannot resist
Me neither! Thanks for watching 😊
Hi Sarah, good to hear you've been busy with students again! That fountain is gorgeous, I bet it is going to look lovely in your garden. Happy potting! Monique
Hi Monique - great to hear from you again. Having real life students back in the studio has been brilliant - if a little tiring - I'm out of practice! The fountain is going to be the main exhibit for an exhibition I have coming up in the summer. I can use it to take commissions from people so I'm glad it managed to come through in one piece. Thanks for watching and commenting as ever - from my most favourite place in the World - lovely Bonnaire.😍
I love this fountain and I'd love to see how you made the entire fountain if you have videoed it. Is there a video of making it and the base? Thank you for your videos
Hi Nancy and thanks for watching. Unfortunately I didn't video this one. It was a mammoth make! Great to have you along 😀
Oh wow. That birdbath came out amazing. How did you fit it in the kiln for bisque? Well pleased with my leaf. The glass looks like water. 😍
Thanks my lovely. Your leaf is beautiful. We've all been admiring it this week. The big one may get done on Monday if there's room in the kiln. We had to put the bisque fountain top on a sling and lower it in - fag paper width! There were quite a few drips of sweat on the brow🤣
This looks fantastic! I love how the reglazing came out! Colors are wonderful! Well worth the extra work, right?
Hi Linda - absolutely worth the extra work. Always an option to reglaze if you don't like the first version. Thanks for your kind words 🙏
Should I paint my polar bear ornaments with underglaze or regular glaze
Hi kathy - personal choice - depends whether you want them to be shiny on the surface or not. See my video on the difference between slip, underglaze and glaze on my channel 😀
May I ask why you don’t use kiln wash on your shelves?
Hi Michele - I find kiln wash is a 'dusty substance and sometimes flies around inside the kiln if it gets chipped etc. Usually use homemade cookies but forgot this time - hey ho - must fig out the dremel🤣
