  • Making a Large Nautilus Fruit Bowl.
    The bowl is thrown with 2kg of white stoneware clay, then left to firm up overnight.
    I then mix up a slip (liquid clay) made of the same clay bit with added colourants (iron, cobalt, manganese, chrome) to produce a black slip. This is applied to the inside of the bowl with a large syringe, then the wheel speed is slowed right down and the pattern is stamped using a soft rubber rib.
    The bowl is left for another day for the slip to dry and fuse with the clay of the bowl. It is now one solid piece of clay. Before wiring off the batt (the wooden disc it was thrown on), I trim the rim back to remove any splashes of the black slip. I then wire off and set aside to dry for a further day or two before it can be trimmed. I trim a foot and burnish the clay smooth, then stamp my logo into the semi-soft clay.
    After a few more days drying the piece is ready for its first firing to 1000c, which converts the clay into ceramic. Up until this point it could have been turned back into soft clay with the addition of water, but the bisque firing fuses it into a solid porous structure.
    It can then be glazed. I use a white glaze on the outside and over the rim, and a Floating Blue on the inside. This combination is very fluid in the cone 6 (approx 1200c) glaze firing and mixes as it flows over the surface when it becomes fluid at the peak of the firing. As the glaze cools it 'freezes' solid at around 1100c and the motion is captured permanently in the glossy glass of the glaze. It also fills in a lot of the texture of the pattern, giving a smoother surface and making it easy to clean (someone always comments about this whenever I post a video of the technique).

    I don't think it was intentional, but the way the animals on your shirt line up with the bowl, it makes it seem like they're looking right at it. :)

    You can reverse the Gifford grip pads and have pressure from the inside to glaze the exterior with an even flow from the hake brush. Less chance of dropping the bowl.

    Thanks for another great video. I had a quick question about your kiln. My kiln was originally from Europe and has the hole in the lid just like yours! It is not something I see here in Canada very often. I have having trouble with my kiln firing cold on the top shelves (after a variety of tracking and strategies). I was wondering... do you plug your the whole in the top of yours at all during firing?

    • @kimoconnor7394
      @kimoconnor7394 Před 3 lety +1

    Really fun design! I've ordered the Russian doll batt system. I wondered if you've ever thought about doing a kiln firing explanation video. I don't have a kiln yet and the only experience I have with one is through watching the technician at university. I need to buy a kiln and I know I'll find it a bit scary to use at first.
