This was pretty neat. Shocking about the floating blue! You could maybe put the baked steelwool into a pepper or salt shaker? Thanks

I had a similar experience with iron wool, but I placed the iron inside the clay body and wedged it well. My results were interesting, but next time I will use a finer iron wool 000.

Hello Mr. deMib ☺️ Perhaps the effect you desire could be achieved by placing the steel wool specks in a table salt shaker then distributing from a distance you can vary based on the coverage wanted. 🤔

Thanks. Good idea. I used another tool in my latest glaze video that actually works really well too. Also, I will try adding it to the glaze mix and the clay. May work well as well :-)

How do you do the fluting on your bowls? I've seen your video on faceting, but you should do one on your fluting technique

Love your experiments! Chemical interactions can be really wild; the effect on the floating blue is quite interesting. Also, what glaze(s) did you use on the top bowls in your kiln?

Hi...I've done the same. In my pieces, some of the iron "clumped up" and protruted from the glaze contributing to the 'feel' of the piece. Being utilitarian pottery, mine 'failed', in that respect. When applying, it often seems too little is being added, and yet the final result shows much more was added than meets the eye. I think some form of mesh, perhaps a glaze testing sieve, of X mesh would help distribute more evenly the clumps or areas of concentration. It's an age old affect that needs refinement. Obviously, as applied, this lends itself to an overall warm scheme of pottery colorant. If we can get it to look like clay speckled from Manganese dioxide, it would be a much cheaper and safer alternative; especially for white clay bodies. I've wedged the steel wool 'dust' into the clay. that works well. Strangely, the iron specs look gray/black when wedged in. They retain their 'steel' look. I like it. Seems like a black glazed rim on a white body with the iron wedged in would work. Another method worth a try is to add x% of the iron to the glaze. This can be done at glaze mixing, or backing into the dry content of the slop via the Boignart (sp?) calculation, which works. This iron is not an oxide and so I don't believe it would color the glaze brown. I would hope that the iron is suspended and evenly distributed in the glaze. A challenge is the weight of even this tiny steel 'dust' is greater than the other chemicals and so tends to sink and probably dead pan.

Thanks a mot. Very interesting ideas. I have a baking tool in mind that may be helpful distributing a more even and think layer preventing the lumpy bits. I will try that. Will also try adding it to a glaze - probably Folk art would work the best. You mention Manganese. Did you try using that?

One idea for getting the angel dust effect might be to put the steel wool dust into a sieve and sprinkle from high up above.

Isn't the all "white" bowl the one you glazed at minute 17:00? I thought it was the Folk Art glaze inside and out you did. At about 20:50 you switched to the floating blue and did the other bowls. Did all the fluted bowls come out white? So interesting. We use iron filings wedged into clay. The iron filings come out of the break linings when the breaks on the car are changed. I think I'd like to try the baked iron wool instead of the iron break filings. Just need to run it by out kiln tech for the ok - I'll have her watch your video so she understand your process. Thanks 👍🏼👍🏼

Thanks. Due to the shorten/editing it is a bit confusing which bowl got which glaze - but two of them got floating blue and yet turned out very white. But I will reglaze them and see if I can improve the result :-)

Wax the bottom of the pot, it will stop the Glaze from coating it as well
