This week’s film is an interesting one, or rather, it’s the kind I’m most excited about making. Alex Pole, a blacksmith, (links below), recently sent me two packets of metal scraps, by-products from his craft, to incorporate into my clay to fire and test. There’s hammer scale produced from hammering steel and bronze filings from trimming the material on a lathe. This video shows the entire process, from wedging it into clay, trimming it, glazing the experimental pieces and finally reduction firing them to 1290ºC.
What will they look like?

I think they both have an Aesthetic appeal. With a lighter body clay, it creates a new dimension. They do not look diseased. ❤
I love it, its like bird eggs, so natural ❤
This is one of those things that will look much better on a larger piece than a small one.
Absolutely stunning!
I was worried you were going to rip your hands to shreds with the steel hammerings. Won't the steel rust or was it stainless?
@@nom_chompskyin the reduction firing the oxides are reduced to metals. If the glaze does not seal the metal from air; it will indeed rust.
Do you think these are food safe? It looks like you ended up with exposed metal. I wonder what would happen if you applied a clear glaze before the second firing.
They look gorgeous!!
11:02 this looks perfect to glaze the bottom. Curious is it wax on a bisque plate and some clay to stable the bowl?
For some reason they remind me of the color palettes from the planets of helldivers 2

Very interesting try! I wonder which is bronze and which is steel. Let me guess: the one with red spots is bronze while black dots one is steel. Am I correct?
Yes you are 👍
How long does it take to dry a product before sharpening it?
Could you show the end results after using the copper with a different clay body and glaze ? Thank you
V nice brother
Melted metals that go through the vitrious coat are no food safe.
Although they are decorative pieces, melted spots in closer look not seem to be attractive. In global view those bring a desired contrasted look. I think there is a problem with the metal scraped mesh.
I think that this problem could be fixed, making a glaze with metal chips into speckles (bisque fire temperature), select the non melted ones and mix with clay. In a certain way they remain encapsulated.
japanese style
It looks like mold..
