In the day and in the dark, thanks.

For more garden pottery see Ben Wolff Pottery for a different flowerpot each day this month, a second-generation potter from a family of artists. kzread.info/dash/bejne/a3aIlaavkcKYc9I.htmlsi=jaQkhYzLfEPVWurD

Hi Jeff! Brutus looks so happy! For some reason your covered jar screamed, "Ralphie," to me. You should keep it. Great idea with the cookie cutter. Happy Independence Day! Thanks for the channel suggestion!

Thanks for noticing the special jar, made 2 summers back, in his day. Thier form nice strong, bold rugged unkept looks, exuding an artistic poetic character. I'll be firing up the grill and the kiln, enjoy your too.

Perfact timing I was experimenting making luminaries yesterday but with mosquito coil and tealight holders, I also used a cookie cutter but to just mark them.I will try it your way now. Brute wants to be a life guard

I might try it your way, most likely no easy way out. Glad to know if in trouble in the water I will be helped out.

😂our class is on summer break, but took home my clay. Love that 1st jar and the doggie lifeguard.

Always glad to hear you have clay, only need a little to do something good. Don't know how to tell him I'm OK, he really wants to save me.🐶

I`m grinning... you have answered my question about the cut outs and can you re-purpose? of course you can, you are so very commercial. All very lovely as always, many thanks.

After 25 years of being a sculptor using extruded clay drainage and chimney tiles- Coordinator, instructor for pipe sculpture workshop at Logan Clay, after travel and expenses to plant not much left after the great experience. Built an adobe sculpture at a festival in Israel another amazing life experience, came up $300.00 short of allotted budget. Prestige of sculpture being shown in galleries then large outdoor works put out to pasture. Such a novelty now to actually sell my work. I am so enjoying being the country potter at the farmer's market. Glad your grinning, I am too.

I really enjoy you videos. I like the natural way you apply your glazes. Allowing the pot to shine through. Question. I have a new to me manual kiln. For glaze firing i want a 5-6 cone firing. What is your firing method. I have 3 knobs, low to high with a cone sitter. Do you start low and work your way up. And for how long approx for each increase. Appoliges for the long comment. Cant wait to see you next one thanks.

Kiln repair and potter told me just put all straight on high. Here is what I do and has works for me. Turn up one notch each hour. 1-bottom low 2-bottom medium top low 3-bottom high top medium 3-top high, after that glaze take about 5 hours. Glaze problems can occur when to fast or too long, age of elements can affect firing length. Glad to know you're watching. So many are layering glazes so thick and heavy like 1070's ashtrays and lamps. It's not bad but I thought we didn't like those things.
