    As an artist, I don't mark anything as trash. What you or I view as trash, someone else might love. While, yes, some of them aren't food safe, it doesn't mean they don't fit other purposes - like decorative bowls, or as saucers for plant pots, or entry way bowls to drop keys and change. Personally, I find that the paintings I like the least are the first to sell! So it's worth it even if you don't personally like it.

And even underlines all the hard work and experience that goes into ceramics.

    I’m enjoying the video a lot. Do you grind down the pinholes prior to reglazing? I get pinholes n certain glazes in my old Cress Kiln and never sure why. I hate wasting my pottery, so I try to redo, reglaze, embellish, etc., but it doesn’t always work and yes, I waste a lot of time, but I figure it’s worth the experimentation. Thanks for the accessibility and casual nature of your videos.

    I don’t think I ever realized how small your kiln is ! Definitely a problem. Trying to have small things to fire so you take up all the room in the kiln you can is always good. Little kiln fillers. I love the way these turned out, the ones that did turn out anyway. May I ask what you do with pieces that are food safe but not quite right enough to sell? I have so many pieces that I just don’t know what to do with. Can NOT WAIT TO SEE WHAT YOU DO WITH YOUR SHARDS!! I just finished watching photographing over 200 pieces!!! The electricity went out so I was completely dependent on the sun and it was crazy!! I really wish that I’d seen this before photographing all day!!!

    19:01 I quite disagree with your conclusion 😅 I don't personally think that being so hasty with a production batch is a good idea. I think production only works if you use clay you're very familiar with and glazes that the behaviour of which is verified and predictable for you, on that specific clay body. production isn't about experimenting and wishing for good luck and you wouldn't have nearly as many faulty pieces, if you weren't so 'brave'. don't get me wrong, I'm not against being brave. but maybe keep your experiments for a one off test, which you might later use as a base for a repetitive production batch. in which the exact same steps are followed, to avoid wasting your materials, your (and the grid's) energy, and ultimately getting yourself bankrupt 😅

    White is not my choice, to be honest to me it is to boring with your design (don't ment to be mean). To me al the imperfection is art, I don't need a perfect hand made bowl. And the greenish brown ones have an interesting color, imo. I wish, you would be brave to be more experimental with the glaces what happens, if you sprinkle white or light blue or pink on to the dark bowles and fire them again? I know it is a pricy experiment, but it can't go wrong, right? What ever comes out is fine, if you don't like the outcome already. I think "trash" is only when they are really unusable!
