Thanks for the tutorial! I love surface enhancement ideas!

[@joellenconway5464]

This was exactly what I was looking for today. Thank you so very much..

[@gabiglaezer8685]

Very nice video. Tried to find a picture of the fired bowl on your instagram but couldn’t find it. Also you forgot to show how you made the copper wash. 🙏🏻

[@ankiking]

Curios about how the scraping works. Would love if you can include that. Thanks!

[@aidasoto2936]

Excelente quality

[@juliechamberlain7982]

I saw a video where they were using a scrubbie that wasnt wet first and saving the dried wash for later use...have you tried this?

[@micheledickey4066]

I’d love to know how you created the texture on the bowl in the wet clay stage.

[@ganran2]

What clay body is this ?

[@eugeniekalshoven4412]

What kind of kopper mix younused?

[@tolidi_sofal_aboukhak]

Copper is notorious for leaching. Wouldn’t recommend using this with food, especially acids, without testing with vinegar or lemon first.

[@skegbyguy]

After you have washed the excess off, is the water/wash-off safe to go down the sink?

[@____Ann____]

No copper is toxic so don't wash it down in the sink. I wash everything (also brushes and sponges) in a bucket. After two days the particles are on the bottom and you can throw away the clear water. The particles go into my slop glaze / reclaim glaze bucket

[@edwardemahy]

What are the ingredients in the wash? It looks like there’s more to it besides water and oxide.

[@wangalex3884]

I don't know exactly what he does he said he did not use any glaze,but I usually add a little amount of transparent glaze in my copper so it will "stick" on the ceramic after firing.

[@jenniferjohnson4913]

It would be helpful if you said what ingredients are in the copper wash. Copper carb plus water? Anything else?

[@GoldenThreads1]

Frit maybe? Idk I'm just learning this stuff too. But in glaze making ppl use chemical x + the corresponding type of frit. Idk theres a lot of books and videos on it though.

[@GoldenThreads1]

He said pure copper

[@Atliermia]

You can google for stain wash recipe. Base and add Mason stain.
