The Pottery Corner

The Pottery Corner

Hello everyone & thanks for checking out my channel where we explore all things clay, from Kiln Opening Videos to Tips and Tricks and Tutorials where I explain the rudiments of working with clay and the seemingly endless possibilities.
I sell my work via my Etsy Shop (www.etsy.com/uk/shop/potterycorneratno45). The Pottery Corner is my studio based near Chichester on the South Coast of England. Ever wondered if you could throw on a pottery wheel? Watched that marvellous programme The Great Pottery Throw Down and wanted to have a go? Come to the studio and enjoy learning to throw on the wheel in our lovely, light and airy studio. You'll learn the basic techniques of working with clay at one of the numerous courses on offer via my website at www.thepotterycorner.co.uk. It'd be great to see you on a course sometime soon.
Thanks for stopping by and kind regards
Sarah Amos #pottery #ceramics

    I've been reading your replies to find out if you are okay. I understand that it probably is a huge amount to work to keep these videos going, but I do miss you terribly. You are absolutely my favorite potter in the whole world! Be kind to yourself and those nasty little kiln cookies! I hope that you get back into making videos again. It's weird how you can become so attached to someone you've never met. Geoffrey

My father has Alzheimer's which is proving to be very challenging and time consuming. I am hoping to return but just not at the moment. I appreciate the message. Kind regards Sarah

    @cariadwales1979 - I agree the postage is a big problem. Bluematchbox in reading does some underglaze decals but not the Skyline version. If you have clay buddies you could do an order and split the postage- that would work. You could put your own spin on the design here too. Thanks for watching. Hope you do the project 😊

  • @thepotterycorner
    @thepotterycornerАй бұрын

    Hiya and thanks for watching. you could use kiln wash on the cookies but it's not really needed. I tend to use cookies smaller than the circumference of the pot so that if any glaze drips down it doesn't stick the cookie to the piece. Hope that helps.

  • @thepotterycorner
    @thepotterycornerАй бұрын

    Hi Jessica - Porcelain can be intimating but it really isn't too difficult to work with. See if you can get a sample pack of perhaps a 1kg pack to give it a try. You can, of course, use normal white stoneware but the hydrangea heads are not quite so fine if using this. Thanks for watching and hope you have a go at this lovely project.

    I am interested to know if this is possible, I too have an underglaze black pencil ZQ0069 from Amazon, it’s arrived and I have onto once fired ceramic piece brushed on Duncan Concept, I am hoping I can now draw with the pencil mentioned and apply Duncan EZ strokes to put in some colour, then fire to glaze fire. What do you think? Too much for an 89 yr old I hear you mutter 😉. ……ps the porcelain clay Hydrangea heads are all given away or bought, and one was glazed in Manchester City colours for a friend who like myself is an ex Wren, ..for her husbands grave,…( without the stalk). Virginia Rose.

  • @thepotterycorner
    @thepotterycornerАй бұрын

    Hi Virginia - great to hear from you again. Yes - I think this could work. It is a bit difficult to draw with the underglaze pencil over glaze but it might work better over underglaze. Definitely not too much for an 89 year old ! So pleased the hydrangeas were a hit. My Grandmother was a wren in the first World War. She hailed from Weymouth in Dorset.

    Yes i also save my glaze the way you showed here by cleaning out the empty pots. The brushes i do different. I wash them in a glass with not to much water all together. That brush water i let untouched for about a week. The coloured residue of glaze has sank to the bottem. I then pour out as much "clear" water as possib. Then i put te glass in a warm spot so that the residue got completely dry. I scrape the dryed up residue out with a knife into my mystery chips pot. It comes out flaky and powdery. Thank you Sarah showing this. The way you talk about all kind of pottery stuff keeps me always hanging on your lips 😂 👋 bye Sheila
