- Hi Everyone and welcome back to the Pottery Corner. In this video we are unloading another glaze kiln firing with exceptional pieces from my talented students as ever. Some cracking glaze combinations from Amaco and Mayco including Mayco Oxblood and Mayco Jungle Gems.
I am modelling the T Shirt for the Only Hope Project (ScienceWithSoul). My classic 1985 Mini, called MinMin, is a film star having appeared in the Only Hope Film due to be released very soon and my lovely husband, Steve, was the stunt driver! Have a look at the Instagram Page for the Only Hope Project for more details. This is a fantastic project which could help people with cancer as there are now ways of mapping individual tumours to see which treatment is the most effective for that individual. This could well be a game changer for cancer care in the future. All extremely exciting stuff and a cause which is close to my heart - having had breast cancer and coming up to my 10th anniversary of my own treatment.
Hydrange kits are still available in my Etsy shop if you'd like to check out the playlist for making your own Porcelain Hydrangea Heads.
Thanks as ever for joining me today. Much love Sarah xx

That parrot tulip bowl is gorgeous!! Love the little blue hydrangea pot too 🩵. Have you found out the glaze combo Claire used on the mugs that ran and stuck to the cookies? It’s a pretty dark blue result. Thanks for the videos 😊
Hi Debi and thanks for watching. 3 coats of Sapphire Float with Iron Lustre and Oatmeal in big 'dollops ' over. Just too much glaze with two 'flowing ' glazes. Lovely dark blue colour - Just be careful if you try it! 😁
@@thepotterycorner Thanks for the info
Your tulip Bowl is simply beautiful. Please show it again when off the cookies. Love you kiln openings!
Thanks so much Kandace - the tulip bowl has been knabbed by my sister so has already left the studio. It really was a beaut. I need to make another 😊
Love your tulips and colors on your bowl! Beautiful
Thanks so much for watching. My sister has the tulip bowl now and uses it for flowers. 😊
Love the colors of your “tulip” bowl
Thanks so much. Glad you liked it. My sister knabbed it!
I love your tulip bowl…….just beautiful and highly successful I would say. 🥰
Thanks for watching Lisa. I think my sister has designs on it! 😊
Thank you for sharing knowledge and your trip sounds and looks beautiful
Thanks for watching Neila. Glad you enjoyed it 😊
You nailed the parrot tulip bowl! ❤
Aww thanks Joan. Pretty pleased with this one. Thanks for watching 😊
the tulip inspired bowl is very pretty, hopefully you can sort its bottom out, colours are beautiful
Hey pottery sister! Happy to see you again. 😘 That parrot tulip bowl is fantastic! I also love that totem your amazing student made. At the same time I feel for you..... all that grinding is not fun. Be careful my dear. Sending virtual hugs! 😍🌴
Thanks my lovely Monique. Dremelling just takes forever and a dirty business! Thanks for watching 😊
Great ideas. Recieved the hydrangea kit. Waiting for my clay order to arrive. Can't wait.
I live my the fundy coast. Noting like it.
Thanks for watching Laurie. I think we all get inspired by nature. Enjoy making your hydrangea heads. Don't forget to send me a photo 😉
Love the Oxblood glaze ❤
Thanks for watching Julia. It's an interesting one - this is my best test of this glaze. It needs to be quite thick
@@thepotterycorner I never would have chosen the color. The test tile on the Mayco site doesn’t look that promising. But I think I will give it a try now. Your parrot tulip bowl turned out great 👍
I love!!! the parrot tulip bowl!!! The Dremel are a good friend sometimes😂but not funny to do. 😊 Sorry for all extra job for you😍 Nice to see Dorset. Never been there😊
Hi Helena. Always great to hear from you 👍
Your yellow glaze is really beautiful!
Hi Anna and thanks for watching. The yellow is an underglaze that I make myself. Very vibrant and summery. 😊
Love the size of your un- saleable mug. Just my size. Lovely. Glazing is my nemis, love throwing, trimming is also a favourite, but I worry about glazing and let it sitting till I have a lot to do in one session
Thanks for watching Denise. Interesting that glazing seems to be everyone's least favourite part of the process. There's always a pile of bisque waiting for inspiration in my studio 😊
Sarah, thanks for then new video! Love watching! Hey, I would make your students dremel their own work. That would certainly inspire them to apply glaze more carefully! :) Thank you for all of your information and time! Debbie
Thanks for watching Debra that's a great idea! They are always pretty sanguine when I have to dremel their pieces because I moan about doing it so much 😆
Oh lots of work Sarah ! My kiln shelves too have lots of grinding grooves! Lovely to see the sea, even though I’m close to the sea I don’t often see it 🙁
Thanks Mel. Hope you had a successful open studios. Dremelling- hmmmmm - not the nicest thing but sometimes necessary. Never had so many pieces in one kiln load before 😊
@@thepotterycorner The Chichester Open Studios was very quiet at first but luckily the weather improved and my shelves have got lots of gaps and worth the effort 😊
Or mb take a picture. It was/is a beautiful bowl!
Loved your tulip inspired bowl glazing….worth the grinding time …really enjoyed your clip on your trip….😊 thank you for sharing both your skills and time…you are very talented and inspiring 😊
Thanks for watching Janette and for your very kind words. Much appreciated ❤
just this week I've discovered the joys ...cough...cough...of dremeling.
Hi Dennis and thanks for watching. Dremelling is a necessary evil in my opinion. Just done a full tutorial on this a couple of weeks ago if you wanted to check out that video. Great to have you along 😀
New to your channel....love, love the parrot tulip bowl. 16:30
Thanks so much for watching. Great to have you along 😀
Morning Sarah, and lovely to see you again. A great start to the day to watch your YT.
Have to say I adore the test piece with texture using the Mayco Oxblood, (although don't like the name of the glaze! Lol! Really suits that texture too. I've not got that Glaze yet, but I am now tempted!
Have to admit currently I'm still obsessed with every stage of the process but I also struggle choosing which glaze to finalise on. I now find I get inspired with a glaze effect that secondary inspires me on which piece I want to use it on. So I now work backwards and when I come to glazing I don't have to make a choice, as it's allready decided lol. May sound backwards but I'm finding it more enjoyable that way, and getting some better results.
Parrot Tulip glaze looks stunning and so close to the effect you were aiming for. Shame about the drippage but nothing a bit of dremmeling shouldn't fix 😊
Oh dear, gutted for all the drippage that followed in pieces.... what an absolute nightmare of a dremel project you have. Ouch 😮 It happens, but sadly that's a lot on one kiln opening. I feel you pain 😢
Lovely kiln opening to watch, always a pleasure. Georgous Coast line too! Glorious part of the world.
Thanks for the great content as always 👏👏👏
Thanks so much Jeanette for your lovely words. Oxblood is not one I have used often and I seem to get varying results. It only changes to the red/brown colour in the actual texture which is interesting. I've been using vinyl placemats as texture on my wheel thrown plates. Another technique that is probably going to find it's way into a video! The bowl is fine - thankfully only a little dremelling needed but the students stuff is still waiting for me to get up the enthusiasm to do it! Some of them are in the studio tomorrow so I may use their session (and therefore their time) to do it. Wish we were back in Dorset - really busy here. Keep smiling my lovely.
@@thepotterycorner I have some vinyl place mats that I wanted to used on some plates but couldn't think of a dinner safe glaze to work with it. May just give one a try. Love how texture can change how a glaze reacts, its like magic lol.
Great idea about getting students to dremel their own work. Actually valuable lesson to learn why the qty of glaze you apply and its placement is so critical. I think that's a great idea.
Dorset looked so glorious, life just seems to be so busy.
Sending hugs x
Love it 😊❤️
Thanks so much for watching 😊
Hello Sarah! I’m loving your hair cut short like that! Great kiln opening! I chuckled at the way you pronounce Gogh, I’ve never heard his name pronounced with an ‘F’ sound at the end. Surely that must be how he pronounced his last name since he was born over on your continent though and us silly Americans are getting it all wrong. I sure do hope to get across the pond your way one of these days! I just made a new poppy head! I’ll send you a photo once it’s out of the glaze fire. Cheers!
Hi Natalie. Always great to hear from you. Do send me pics of your poppy head. And yes - you Americans do pronounce it wrong! And you sell colour wrong too 😆😆😆😁
@@thepotterycorner 😂😂😂💙🩵❤️🩷🧡💛💚
Hello from New Jersey USA! Nice to see you back again. Just to answer one of your questions...the absolute hardest part of the entire process - for me - is deciding on a glaze! OMGoodness that could take quite a while for sure! Sometimes, after I decide, its a win and sometimes not so much, so I chalk that up as a learning experiment for sure, and as you said in this video, we live and learn. LOVE ABSOLUTELY LOVE LOVE LOVE the Parrott Bowl! P.S. Love your t-shirt...Michael Caine is one of my absolute favorite actors!
Thanks so much for watching again Marie. I agree- choosing glaze is really hard! 😁
What a lovely parrot tulip bowl! Inspiring as always, thanks so much for these kiln openings; it really is like Christmas :)
Thanks so much for watching Duska. Great to have you along. 😊
My gosh the bowl is absolutely stunning!!! How incredible. Have you tried putting kiln wash on your cookies? It really helps to not have to grind quite so much. I love the handles on the teacups that are textured! What a great idea. With all of these lovely drips off the pots can you please show us how you remove the cookies abs glazes please?
How cool your car is being used for something so very important. I love the T-shirt! I used to use a glaze book but I have a large kiln that I usually fit aprox 64 pieces in, and then of course little kiln fillers, so I started numbering my pots and using index cards for each pot. This is probably Lu a silly question but what are the little houses along the beach? Is it just a changing room that you rent for the day? What an amazing idea.
Hi Michele and thanks for watching and commenting. I'm not a fan of kiln wash because it is quite dusty but must admit that this is the worst kiln load ever for glazes dripping. The little houses are dalled beach huts and us Brits use them for days at the beach for changing, cooking, sitting by the sea etc. An absolutely 💯 British pastime 😁
Loved your video as always Sarah, your tips and glaze combos give me so many ideas, thank you!. The tulip bowl is sooo beautiful, fingers crossed you can clean up the bottom 🤞
Hi Sharon and thanks for watching. Cleaned up lovely thanks very much 😊
Hey Sarah welcome back I have missed you!!! Am I the only one staring at your chest trying to read your shirt?? hahaha. What's the glaze on the rim of Nicola's bowl please? It's beautiful shame about the bowl though. Love doggo he's so cute! Wow that tulip bowl is stunning!!! You can dremel that off I have faith in you! Can you please show it again next unload when it's cleaned up? Get a hand held angle grinder with a diamond disc soooo worth the $$ glides through like butter takes about 30 seconds to get a cookie off you will love it! Oh thankyou you explained the tshirt at the end lovely.
Aww thanks Nat. Has been soooo busy here that something has to give. I do have diamond tips for my dremel but it's still a horrible process! Such a lot of drippage in this kiln load- I shall be having words with the students on application of glaze 😆😆❤
@@thepotterycorner yes but if u get an angle grinder the disc is much bigger so goes in further n it’s so much quicker n easier. I have a dremel too. Trust me you will be thanking me if u do lol
Your bowl is amazing! Love the colours!
Thanks for the photos of Jurassic coast. We have plans to come to UK next year. Bucket list includes the J Coast and Stoke on Trent for obvious reasons!😂. Always love your vids. Much luck with your dremeling!😢
Thanks for watching Audrey. Jurassic coast is stunning. Nothing else quite like it anywhere else in the UK. We try to visit a few times a year to chill out. All the towns and villages are quaint and quirky. Hope you manage to come and see them. 😊
You asked if crabbing is only British. My sister and her kids go crabbing on the coast of Virginia, USA, and we used to crab in Miami,Florida 🦀 😊
I've never seen it anywhere else! Good to know there are more mad people in the world 🌎 😁
@@thepotterycorner 🦀😂
I use jungle gems and noticed that there is sometimes some burn out but overall performance is pretty good
Thanks so much for watching 😊.
The hardest part for me at times is choosing the glaze. If I chose to glaze or finish it which way.....wash, water etch with shellac too? Or carve, blah, lol, ....take a look at it later
Hi and thanks for watching. I couldn't agree more! Definitely have the hardest time trying to choose the finish. So many wonderful possibilities 😊
Often when I watch these videos Sarah says 'I have made this for a present for my sister'. Very disappointed she didn't say this when she took out the parrot tulip bowl.
That made me laugh 😆. I've already got your birthday present lovely sister because I am so organised! 😍
Agree glazing is hard for me.
Glad I'm not alone! Thanks for watching Nancy😊
I’ve stopped the video at the point when you mention you have a pile of bisque ware waiting for glaze ideas. That’s what happens to me. I didn’t know I wasn’t the only one. And I have to take them home from the studio while I wait and think (so they don’t take up space according to the studio owner).
Hi Lori and thanks for watching. Glad I'm not alone in having a pile of bisque. It goes down slowly 🐌 😄
Could you please show us how you dremel/pop the cookies off the bottoms, esp the more difficult ones. Thank you
AND if kiln wash on both the shelf and cookie would stop the sticking completely?
@@ecburt5046 - I don't use kiln wash because I find it can flake off and fly around the kiln - sometimes attaching the flakes to the work. I used to use kiln wash with glass when I was a glass artist though 😊
Thanks for watching again. I can certainly do a video on this. The trials and tribulations of drippy glazes! 😊
How do you use a dremel on the pieces?
Hi Diane - thank you for watching. That's a question I get asked a lot. I think I'll add to the list of upcoming projects. Keep watching 👀 🙂
Your bowl is stunning,and Im sorry to see all the runny glazes.....happy dremeling ..... Not
Thanks for tuning in again Heidi. The Dremelling is a nightmare but I've managed to get the cookies off with patience! 😊
@@thepotterycorner I have some mugs from a year ago when I first started. I got cookies off just have to Dremel or my husband has a small table grinder I might use. Then I can use both hands to hold it and get it off
I've been dreading and procrastinating doing it....😉 I'm going to soon. Selling my pottery at lawn sales for now to get started selling it.
Don't make me say it again! K*** W*** - would save you so much time!
😆😆😆 absolutely! Thanks for tuning in again Ryan
