Such a lovely video of a fascinating ceramic process. Well done!
Very happy you enjoyed it!
Gorgeous! Loved the video of the process.
Congratulations, an amazing ceramic and video. The angles are great and the colors was tuned very well, making the video clean. Keep up the good work both of you.
Thanks for the kind comments
Wow wow wow! This was SOO fabulous to watch & such Gorgeous bowl!!! Just love it!!!
Thanks so much, means a lot to know you enjoyed it 😁
Thanks, it is so nice to get comments like that
Simply gorgeous! Abi makes it look too easy❣️
I'm sure she would be happy to hear that!
That is very cool the changing colors give it that MARE look of the moon too
The moment when Abi pulled the piece out of the fire was very exciting for me too
Amazing what one artisan can do on their own just at a home studio now in the modern age we live in. How exciting and encouraging I find this for following your passions, we have access to such amazing resources in todays age. Myself I just started the orchid growing hobby. I forgot how fun it is to actively do things, instead of how easy it is with our access to entertainment just letting life pass by. This is hyping me up to want to start another hobby!
Nice! Glad the video is inspiring you to try another hobby
This technique is many hundreds of years old actually, all of it. She's just using more modern equipment. I totally agree with you though. Go get em!
Oh wow...how beautiful is that jar.Such a clever lady...fantastic art...wow!😮
She is rather good at it isn't she?
All the crap on you tube ,then this beautiful gem pops up, superb !
Thanks! Means a lot to hear you enjoyed
Thank you, glad you liked it.
Just amazing, thank you for sharing this.
Very happy you enjoyed it, make sure to check out the other videos! And there's also the extended versions of you really want to sink in and enjoy the experience...
@@theslowbuild I'm planning on a deep dive today!! Thank you again.
Truly a feast for the eyes and ears. Was excellent to see so much of the process from end to end and imagine thinking and feeling with those hands.
Thanks so much! Feel like you really got into the spirit of these videos.
It's more feeling rather than thinking. If I think too much it all goes wrong!! I listen to an audiobook to stop the monkey brain interfering!
My goodness! How lovely is that !!! Such skill & craftsmanship! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed it
Its fun watching someone making things, glad you enjoyed it.
wow 😍love it .Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it
Jump scare when the vessel came off the bat, lol
Gotta admit my heart was in my throat for a second there while filming...
Yup, it popped off alright!
Ha Ha, yes, it was quite firm by then though.
Gorgeous:)
This is so fascinating and inspiring! I can’t wait to explore more of your content and gorgeous artwork. Thank you for sharing your process!
Thanks a lot! I hope you enjoy our other videos
so pretty thanks for sharing the procesa
Thanks a lot, glad you enjoyed
Absolutely love this!
Thanks so much!
Absolutely stunning!
Thanks!
Gorgeous, gorgeous piece.
Tis a beauty
Mesmerizing! My favorite part is when the vase sings as she glazes it with her brush …
I love that bit too, such a great sound
spectacular!
Thanks!
absolutely beautiful.
Thanks very much 👍
Thank you for this vidéo, gorgeous moon jar , Waouh !
Cooper wash and Cooper mat are they the same ?
Hi, yes copper wash is the same as copper mat. Raku fired and reduced in reduction bin. Glad you liked the video, Alex did a great job.
It's not one of Cooper's glazes. Its a wash of Copper carbonate or carborate possibly oxide.
Sorry, it's just a typo, i was thinking copper wash and copper mat.
@@lemoineelisabeth990 Ah, I misunderstood. 😉
Amazing
Thank you! Cheers!
Awesome video
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed
Stunning, great video I love it.
Thanks loads! Glad you enjoyed
Fabulous
Thanks very much!
Not sure why the algorithm brought me here but wow, that was quite an experience… What a beautiful piece of artwork, and so technical
Sometimes that mysterious algorithm just works some magic 😁 glad you enjoyed it
@@theslowbuild about six months ago the algorithm brought me to Polynesian/Hawaiian synchronized dancing… And yeah I’m watching that now too. Lol it’s freaky how the algorithm works.😂
I am glad you were brought to the video and glad you liked the Moon Jar.
That was lovely! :)
Thanks so much! Make sure to check out our other vids if you get a moment 😁
👏👏👏👏👏
😁👍
Magnifique 🌹
Merci beaucoup
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
👍👍👍👍👍
How one did you leave it in reduction ?
About 8 minuets, then opened to lid and closed it again, then left it until it had cooled down.
What is the point of throwing this vessel in two parts? It is a simple enough form.
I'm not sure why exactly, will see if Abi has a chance to respond. Hope you enjoyed the video
I agree, but the traditional way to throw a Moon Jar (a Korean storage jar) is to throw it in two parts and join them. I like to bring tradition into my pots, to honer the potters of the past and to feel the connection of past and present in the craft. The Korean potters were clever realising it is much less taxing using two smaller pieces of clay enabling them to scale up to make a much bigger forms if they wanted to. There is so much to learn from the historical traditions, its such a fascinating craft.
Hurry up.. Ive not got all bloody day!!!
Are there more, less, or the same proportion of women:men in pottery compared to other artistic disciplines? For the purpose of this conversation, I’m not including acting, music, dance. So “visual arts” I guess (painting, sculpture, textiles, wood, metal &c). Stuff you’d study at art college.
I'm not sure to be honest - one for the potters out there . . .
What region? what culture? what time period? what senseless musing.
@@theslowbuild In the Uk, 50/50 in Africa, mostly woman, in Japan mostly men, so culture is a thing
I recently took a ceramics course at a large university in the Midwest US, and there were only about 3 or 4 men in a class of about 25 students, if that’s any indication of sex-based interest level in this part of the world.
I love ur property
It is some great property
@@theslowbuild could i live there n get drunk weekly?? And apprentice under you?
@@theslowbuild is a pub close by?😀🍸🍷🍷🍹🍹🍹🍹🐒🐒
Self serving, What is to be gained from this video ? Where or what is the formula for this glaze and what is the firing temperature ?
Ah John... This channel is not intended to be for instructional videos though if there is enough demand I may look into it in the future. It's more an experiential type vibe.
That said, I believe the second firing with the copper wash went to 1000°C. Don't know what was in the copper wash though Abi may be able to answer...
@@theslowbuild don't give him your secrets 😂
@@emb7854 lips are 🤐
Well, watching a potter throw is such a useful thing to do when you are starting out. The hand coordination and positions. Watching when the hands move up the pot and noticing how the hands and the rotation coordinate. Pottery is all about deep a deep connection of coordination between the hand and eye which can not be over looked or hurried and watching an experienced hand is such a good way of learning. The glazing and firing comes after a good pot is thrown.
And I should have said, to answer your question better really, the video is about the just watching someone make something with no attachment to it or for any learning reason, just for the pleasure of watching. I hope that helps.
