QUESTION: What causes the one to have lots of 'bumps?' Thank you.
@theclaycollective7 ай бұрын
Sometimes when you’re heating up your pots in the kiln, the glaze starts to bubble a bit. If you keep heating them and push the temperature higher the bubbles will eventually level out and go smooth again. But if you pull the pot out when it looks bubbly then the glaze will keep that texture through the reduction process! It’s pretty neat!

@theclaycollective9 ай бұрын
That is an excellent question, and to be honest, I’m not sure! The glaze definitely has a metallic finish, and does contain some copper elements in its chemistry, but whether that is enough to actually conduct electricity, I have no idea! It would be a very interesting experiment!

A question about your firing: I know you need to reduce the glazes after they come out of the kiln, but is the fire itself oxidizing or reducing? Does that make a difference to the colour?
@theclaycollective Жыл бұрын
How hot you get your pots in the kiln can affect your glaze colours! Too hot or too cold and they get kinda muddy and dull or overly textured and bubbly. The perfect temperature that we’ve found with our kiln is around 1800 Fahrenheit or 1000 Celsius. That seems to be the point that really brings out the colours! For me, hardwoods produce copper effects, and soft woods or paper let the natural glaze colours come through more. This pot came out very copper, but if I had used softwoods, it would have been blue ☺️

Aww you’ll get it! Here’s some more specific info for you to get hopefully closer to success! The clay body is called CCSS from tuckers pottery supplies but you could probably use a red clay or a sandy coloured clay. Do three coats of obsidian as a base, and then pour the other glazes into the bowl instead of brushing them on (don’t pour too much cuz it’ll be thick). Try and pour the glazes in so they stay somewhat separated and then swirl them around by tilting your bowl until it looks marbled, but carefully so they don’t end up all mixed together 😊 hopefully that helps!
