    If you want to dip your toes into doing your own woodfiring, you could always build an Olsen fast fire kiln. It's much smaller than the kiln in this video, but the smaller size also means a much lower build cost, lower cost per firing, less work to prepare for a firing, and you can fire it to cone 10 by yourself in 4 hours. Not much point in firing a wood kiln that fast since you don't get as much ash build up, *however* you can also fire it as *slow* as you want.

      What does cone ten mean ?

    • @formerartstudent
      @formerartstudent Před 2 lety +10

      @@jacobwhite8204 Cone numbers are a way of measuring heat work, which is a function of temperature *and* time. The higher cone numbers generally correlate with higher temperatures, but the length of time spent at a given temperature makes a difference. Imagine you have a lit candle. If you pass your hand over the flame very quickly, it doesn't hurt. But if you hold your hand over the flame for a few seconds it will hurt quite a bit. In both cases, the temperature is the same, but the amount of heat work is different, which produces different results.

    Thank you Jonthepotter and Matthew Kelly Pottery for sharing this AWESOME experience with all of us! I am learning so much from both of you and what it takes to be serious potters! Can't thank you both enough for all the info you both are always so willing to share with us too!

    Jon, I hope you also had time to see some of the many other incredible potters in Seagrove as well. I live in Virginia and have visited several time and gone to the clay and glaze supplier in town. It is like heaven for potters there. I don’t know of anywhere else in the US with such a large concentration of generational potters.

  • @KimAReid
    @KimAReid Před 2 lety

    Yes! Do it!
    I have assisted on a wood fire kiln and loved every minute. I understand your enthusiasm. I had one piece in the kiln and although I have progressed as a pottery since that piece, it is still my favorite. It’s beautiful and very unique, but it’s more than that, I have a connection to it, memories made with it. The man who owned the kiln, his wife, the little bedroom room where I took a “nap” because the midnight shift didn’t show up and I stayed all night, my friend who went with me and stuck it out, all that comes rushing back when I look at that piece, and I smile.
    Can’t wait to see you succeed!
    Sincerely,
    Kim A Reied

    I've done two wood firings with some people from the studio I go to, and it's such a cool experience. I'll be participating in my third one this fall and I can't wait for the firing. It's great to see other potters try this out and see the setup and glazes. Very cool to watch your experience! :)

    One of the coolest things I've ever seen. Matthew seems like such an easy-going, regular kind of guy. I've always loved pottery as a collector, especially salt-glazed. My daughter is a senior in high school and has made some really cool things in her ceramic classes by hand and on the wheel. Trying to find a class in our area and maybe getting a wheel for her one day if she decides to keep going with it. I've always wanted to learn how to throw myself but never had the opportunity. Such a cool little documentary. Thanks!!!

    So I originally found your videos when I first started learning ceramics in my undergrad, 2 classes and one juried show award for a stoneware sculpture later, and now I'm applying to a pottery apprenticeship in Minnesota! I didn't realize until now that it's in the same state as you so if things go well I'll have to give Mocha Monkey a visit 🤞 Have you thought of volunteering at St. John's? That's where the apprenticeship I applied is at and they fire the largest wood kiln in America (I think) about every year and I don't think it's too far away. From what I could find it looks like an incredible experience

    Do it. Jump in. I am building a giant wood fired kiln in mid Minnesota. My children and I have built everything but the actual kiln which is going up this summer. We hope to do a firing in the fall.
    Build it. It is worth the time. I would love to see more kiln build videos.
    I hope to make a video of my build.

  • @a.katherinesuetterlin3028

    A 6-day wood kiln firing needs a big BBQ party with plenty of spit-fired or grilled meat (don't forget the fish and shrimp!), potato salad, cole slaw, deviled eggs, and whatever else you can think of. And those great big "steins" you guys were holding? I kept thinking of Merry and Pippin in the Prancing Pony:
    Pippin to Merry: "What is that??"
    Merry: "This, my friend, is a pint!"
    Pippin: "It comes in pints? I'm getting one!"

    Great video Jon! It condensed the whole process nicely, although had you just posted the entire wood firing process unedited I would have watched it...
    I know I've already mentioned this before, but maybe start with some reduction firing first. Make a small salt/ soda kiln first and go from there. Although I wouldn't doubt that you'd find potters interested in helping you build and fire in Minnesota. I know of one Iowan that might head north to give you a hand...
