Hi Hsin Chuen, it's so generous of you to share these videos. Love them all!

So fascinating. So quickly done too. Very impressive.

I just want to say that you have beautiful hands. I love watching you work.

Love this technique

So fascinating to look at you work! Thank you for sharing!

That is a work of art.

Thank you so much for posting videos on your work. I have learned so much! I would love to see the final products of the things that you make. This pot is going to look beautiful even if it isn't perfect.

nice work sir, your reminds me of my second college teacher, tony wright, very crisp. very tight. tony moved to more sculpturelike pieces last seen with more information yet still just as tight, just more planning i suppose. Thank you for posting so many wonderful videos.

You're very talented.

You’re work is incredibly beautiful and inspiring. Please come to AMSTERDAM and give a workshop. 🙏🏼

Heel mooie werk rogiciat

lovely textures

i think it's beautifull!

thank you for sharing this with us! :-)

That's so amazing to watch ! Wonder what it was like when God created man !

I think the sodium silicate may have soaked into the newspaper and then into the clay a little bit. I would suggest maybe trying this out with plastic wrap or something like that which doesnt absorb liquids very much, or you could apply the sodium silicate to the whole piece, then trim off parts where you dont want it to be applied to have bands of non crackled surface, you could even try chattering with it! Just some ideas, thanks for the video.

Brett, thanks for your comment, that is a definite possibility or it could be as Ronald Boersen mentioned in his comment "...experience even when blasting the outside of a pot with a heat gun WITHOUT Sodium Silicate, you can get crackle just because of the difference in dry/wetness of the clay. And since you dried the pot again after you took off the newspaper, I would guess that's why it crackled." Whichever the reason, I really liked the difference in crackle size between the two areas; it makes it even more beautiful! There are so many interesting possibilities/various creative techniques to experiment with when it comes to using sodium silicate. ◉◡◉

Sodium silicate is so interesting I wonder what it looks like when you trim the piece

I enjoy so much this video !!! Did you ever try to use another kind of silicate , like potassium silicate for example ?

I enjoy the variations of the surface. A success to me! What does it look liked glazed?

感謝您林大師。我是住法國的台灣人，希望有天有緣可以認識您。這次謝謝你的分享。

I've learned so much from your videos and love your work! In my experience even when blasting the outside of a pot with a heat gun WITHOUT Sodium Silicate, you can get crackle just because of the difference in dry/wetness of the clay. And since you dried the pot again after you took off the newspaper, I would guess that's why it crackled in the masked areas as well... Loved the idea by the way!

I have a beginner's question! Set aside the sodium silicate, do you think it is possible to throw a pot that size and shape in one part, with clays other than porcelain? Thx for any answer 🙏

@@marieberthier6455 Since porcelain is tricky to throw with, especially for bigger, taller forms, it would be much easier to throw a larger pot with a 'toothier' clay with fine grog in it. The grog helps support the clay walls.

Hi I just wanted to let you know that you helped me immensely with my new hobby. I would like to tell you also then you can make sodium silicate yourself if you have a beaker the hot plate some silica gel beads add some lye based drain opener

Lovely thank you for sharing.. June

I like your job so much! I'd like you to show the final piece in the video, not the photos at beggining. (i'm sorry for my english) -Cheers from Mexico

A very interesting video! What would happen if you painted vertical silicate stripes? What would happen if you dried the surface, then chattered it, then applied silicate?

Thank you for sharing all your interesting ideas and experiments, especially the ones with sodium silicate. At those times when you add sodium silicate into a colored slip and then coat it on the surface, approximately what proportion of sodium silicate to slip do you usually use? Half and half or less than that with one of them?

I would insert conical shaped clay spikes in the holes/dimples for added decoration. Not sharp. Blunt spikes.

sodium silicate can go in the kiln? sorry...I am new and don't know much about chemicals and combustion 😕

very nice, do you think it would be more dramatic if the sodium silicate was mixed with a dark slip? especially a some areas are covered with newspaper Just a thought ok! you've probably tried my suggestion already ? I notice on your older videos I have to watch with the sound OFF because if the annoying sound from the wheel. I think you have remedied this on later videos Hsin-Chuen.

The Brent life.

興味　深く拝見いたしました。 斬新なデザインに感心しております。 透明な液体は何でしょうか？ お尋ねします。

BEAUTIFUL!! How do you keep your hands and clothes so clay free.

Do you not have to apply slip/underglaze after putting on the sodium silicate? Everyone I've talked to told me you put on slip/underglaze after drying the sodium silicate, dry the slip/underglaze and then go in and shape.

@hsinchuen

No, you do need to put slip or underglaze after coating the sodium silicate. You can add sodium silicate into the slip and then coat it on the surface if you want to see the crackle line in different color..

The motor is really irritating.

one little thing id like to add, something i found highly useful to students. the best art from what i have found has three elements: information, organization, beauty. the beauty can be ugly, the information can be horrible, and the organization can be completely lax and the art can still hold value in its creation, yet art lacking one of the elements is less valued in its creation and does not endure time as well. Most times this can heal any artist's vocabulary who is having trouble with any particular aspect.

Lovely but so noisy

im thinking duct tape

All your VDO are always very interesting and educativ but unfotunately the traduction is very bad ! English is'nt my mother langage 'I speek French and I try to understand all by reading the translation in french but it's really bad ... Fortunately you don't speek too kweakly and and I understand the most part of your explanations , then tanks a lot. Sorry for my bad English ...

i like all your demos...my only negative comment is your wheel. It is too annoying. Can you minimize the noise? or maybe change your wheel? more power to you..thanks

Actually it’s risky. If you have an explosion, the silica can get all over the inside of the kiln, ruining it and other pieces, if they survive. That’s why you bisque fired first.
