Thank you for sharing... I've just started throwing. I already know once I get more confident I want to work with Porcelain... so your videos have been very helpful!
Thank you, that was cool, gives me ideas to start. It's the working with your hands to mold and create. I need to make a homemade pottery wheel and kiln. Almost, just need a speed regulator that o can attach to a blender motor. The rest I think I can build. Thanks again for the video
I'm looking for information about the difference between throwing porcelain and other types of clay I know they're supposed to be something more difficult about it but can't find specifics about that. Can you offer some suggestions?
great demonstration. I recently tried throwing porcelain for the first time and it's exciting bu t crazy hard compared to the stoneware. One issue I can't eplain though though is that when I open the clay I often end up with the rim creating these bumps, as if the structure is overlapping. Not really sure what I am doing wrong here, any advice?
Hi there very beautiful n well described, I just want to ask you a question if you can reply, I have a mini wheel I want to use porcelain clay on it for throw mini pottery vases or bowls etc, I don’t have kiln I wana use it because of its smooth buttery texture to make thin neck vases and also fat bottom vases, if I use porcelain clay and make mini pottery and after its dried I paint it with acrylic or ceramic colors follow be gloss varnish will the porcelain pottery stay stable since I don’t have kiln so I won’t be able to fire it, I just wana showcase it and put on the rack for decoration ie mini porcelain pottery, plx advise if it will remain solid this way I mean porcelain pottery and I don’t mind even if it won’t be functional plx reply thanks alot
You need a kiln to give the porcelain the integrity of strength it will need to take any finishes. You would be better using air drying clay which is designed to not require the heat porcelain needs by being fired. Even a bisque fired piece is fragile and needs careful handling.
Funny... he talks about water conservation, like once you're bucket is empty... you can't throw anymore. Lol. Like you can't just go and get more water. I get what he's saying, less is more, but if you're just starting out, use as much water as you want. That's why wheels have "splash pans".
