- In this video Ann shares key concepts she has acquired over her years of learning about design. She will share 5 Secrets (yes, its a click bait term), or concepts you should think about before you start wedging your clay. She uses a carved piece as an object lesson and even shares a few carving tips along the way. Enjoy friends! You can see the fired pieces in the Community Section of our channel.
Answers to questions we get all the time:
We typically bisque to Cone 04 and fire to Cone 5-6
Ann uses Standard English Porcelain no. 365 unless specified otherwise in the video

After being a long time subscriber I'm finally taking pottery class and I'm so happy! Thank you for being part of this journey!
Wonderful! We've accomplished our goal if we inspired another to get into clay! Good luck!
I just found your channel and so glad I did. Your videos bring me so much joy.
I absolutely love your videos. They’re concise, you give very useable advice! So many other videos ramble and don’t show pieces close enough. Yours are just perfect
As usual, you bring the aspects of how to produce a beautiful pot. Thank you.
Hi Priscilla, Im glad you enjoyed that. Im hoping it gives people a little guideline to follow as they make their own pottery, right. Thanks for watching!!
Hi Ann, I loved watching this video. I've been wanting to try carving for a while now. Thank you for the tips 🙂
Lovely piece, you are so knowledgeable I loved the way you explained everything
WOW! I'm inspired to taking up this art form. Very high quality instructional video. Thanks for sharing your skills. 🙏
Such beautiful pieces!
Love the design lesson! Thank you for sharing!
Hey Em! Thanks as always for watching!! I really appreciate you.
I always learn something new , and usually many things when I watch your videos. Thanks!
Wow, that is so kind of you William! Thanks so much for watching!!
Gorgeous. Can hardly wait to see them fired!!
Thanks Chris!! I just ran out of time to finish them before we published. When they are done, I will post them on the community section!! Stay tuned!! Thanks so much for watching Chris!
Thanks Ann. You are very helpful.🌟🌟🌟
Hi Gale! Great! Im so glad. Thanks for watching!!
So pretty!
Thank you so much for sharing your techniques with everyone. I am always inspired by your ideas. I am definitely going to try this. Can’t wait to see the pottery fired. Jeanette (Uk)
Thats great Jeanette!! Go for it!!! Im excited to see it all finished too. I didnt have time to finish it before we published but I will post pictures of the finished pieces on the community section when I get it done. Stay tuned
Wonderful design Anne!
Hey Jackie! Thanks so much!! The good thing for me was that it didnt take hours to draw and paint as my work usually does, haha. Thanks so much for watching!!
Thanks! I love your videos!
Thanks again Julia - we really appreciate your support! Hope you like your title!
Beautiful! I like the purple one with the slip trailing dots! Thanks Ann 😊☺️ do we get to see the fired results?
Hi Candy! the purple is a new color for me. I just got that underglaze and wanted to try it. I just ran out of time to get the those fired up before we published the video, but I will put the pictures of the finished pieces in the community section when they are done. Thanks so much for watching!
Thanks!
Wow, thanks so much Heather!! We really appreciate your donation!! That will help us with the costs for sure!!
I am delighted to have found you and your wonderful videos!! How thick are the walls of the pieces you are carving? I use 1/4” thickness on my slabs but is that too thin for bas relief? Thanks so much.
I use 1/4" as well - that should work well for you - thanks.
Very nice
This is what I need to learn
Oh Good Heather!! Hopefully this can help a bit to narrow down the design decisions when we go to studio!!
@@annruel1982 I think it will
Ann, if you were going to buy just one diamond core tool, which would it be? I am always looking for nice carving tools but then not willing to pay the price for diamond core, are they worth the price if you do a lot of carving?
Hey Vicki! Thanks so much for watching. That is a tricky question as each tool does different things. It all depends on what you are trying to achieve. I use the spinning trimmer all the time for dividing the piece into sections. I use the extruder tools to make mug handles more than I find myself pulling handles these days. I use the fluting tools when I am demonstrating fluting. I use the triangle tool when I am making pieces with the reverse facets. You just have to figure out what carving you want to try and then go from there. Hope that helps.
Very cool. What do you do with all the scraps of colored slip that's carved off?
Hey Ash! thanks so much. Actually as the slip was just a clay and color mixture, I just put them all back into the bucket of slip to slake down . No waste there 🙂....thanks so much for watching!!
Beautiful and inspirational as always. This video could have gone in for a lot longer. So serene.
@@annruel1982 Thanks again.
@@linzajchowski1803 Hi Lin!! That is so kind of you!! I really appreciate that. I didnt think about it, but really I bet we could have published the entire carving process for an ASMR video, haha. It was fun to watch the carving. Thanks so much for watching!
@@deepashtray5605 My pleasure!
Do you have to use slip with the underglaze or could you just apply the underglaze and then carve?
Yes, you can just paint over the clay with underglaze and carve away! Enjoy!
@@LittleStreetPottery Hello! What should I do with the scraps that has underglaze? My underglazes are commercial.. I'm afraid to put in the recycle bucket because I don'r want my recycled clay to be colored.
Ann do you have a class that focuses on the Elements of Design?
Hi Heather. I dont. Sorry about that. I hadnt really thought of doing that. Maybe I should create one 🙂. Thanks for the idea.
@@annruel1982 oh please do! I'll be the first to sign up!
