First Raku Fire of 2024
Finally uploaded a video! And it is a Raku firing, the first on of 2024! I had some other potters who had never done a raku fire before participate too. I didn't get a lot of footage this time around because I was running the firing, teaching and trying to be the camera person too, lol. It was fun though and I did get a few nice pottery pieces!

    So appreciate your sharing and vulnerability. Of course as life changes, things come and things go. Proud of you sharing your faith and struggles. Praying God guides you and we know he will. What's that old saying, when one door closes, he opens a window. Keep looking up. As long as your gaining continued happiness from it. You know the sad old adage of the starving artists. If your dependent on this for your livelihood and things aren't going well you may want to consider a change, but if it's more for personal enjoyment. Just let it come to you. Sometimes the struggles are good, stretching us, possibly taking us in new directions 👍🙏🤔 Thanks again for sharing🙏❤️👍👍

    It’s good to share and be open when things are transitional, especially as a lot of artists just show the ‘pretty aesthetic’. I don’t know if you’ve read The Artist’s Way, but since doing daily morning pages, I’ve become so much more inspired and motivated by my hectic creative brain, and sitting with my thoughts and ideas and scribbling can really help bring those ideas through. Whether it’s the universe or a god, something is telling you that something is coming, so I’m excited to see where you go. You got this Annie, reach out if you ever just want to sit and chat. You have us any time 🫶

      @storiesnstoneware 2 місяці тому

      Crazing is still one I’m trying to work through and avoid myself. I’ve mostly only succeeded by switching clays. Or I use liner glazes on the inside that I know are stable and food safe and use the glazes that tend to craze on the outside.

    Is it an artistic choice that your glaze is always so thick ? I tend to see this problem with a lot of "young" potters, but you're experienced, so I was wondering.

    • @storiesnstoneware
      @storiesnstoneware 2 місяці тому

      Thanks for the question. Sometimes it is how the glaze works, with the crystal glaze with the chunks, it needs to go on thicker for the crystals to stay adhered to the pottery and melt on the piece and not on my shelf lol. When doing glaze combos it is just going to be thicker because it has more layers( the green blue one) and with the mermaid mug, it is done on purpose to make the sculptures smooth to the touch because my pottery is created to be used frequently and I don’t want it to be uncomfortable to hold.

    For the difficulties removing the wheelhead, try brushing a little anti-seize grease or "waterproof" bicycle grease or oil on the mounting point for the head. Anti-seize will last a long time between applications, and so will, say, Paul's Waterproof bicycle grease, NFS (Need For Speed) bicycle chain lubricant, and Silca Synergetic and Synerg-e chain lubes. All are made for high tenacity and water resistance, and will prevent corrosion if you clean off any that's already occurred before you apply them. Personally, I'd use anti-seize because it's cheap, available at every hardware store and auto shop, lasts seemingly forever, and is super effective. It won't make it slippery between the metal surfaces, though, so it won't facilitate easier removal like the others. If Skutt advises against the use of lubricants, you might check with them regarding anti-seize. It's formulated specifically not to affect manufacturing tolerances and applied torques.

    • @storiesnstoneware
      @storiesnstoneware 7 місяців тому

      Did mean burnishing process with the terra sig? You can do that in the leather hard stage as well but I did it after bisque because the mica added to it can burn off in the bisque fire, depending what temperature you bisque to. If you mean burning the horse hair on to it, that happens after the first kiln fire (bisque) and the terra sig is added, burnished and dries for a few days. Then I put it in the raku kiln.

  • @patspotpage
    @patspotpage 10 місяців тому

    I've found that clays that contain manganese tend to be more prone to pinholes (like your brown clay). In such cases, a drop and hold helps a lot. The manganese will off-gas. Dropping down about 100 degrees from the top temperature stops the volatilization process, and holding at that temperature for 30 - 45 minutes gives the glaze time to heal over. Also with a drop and hold, vs. a hold, you don't have quite the heat work because you're not holding at top temp. Any hold will increase heat work, so firing schedules may need adjusting to account for that. I have not found the higher bisque temperature to help, unless the glaze defect is from too thick of a coat of glaze or the bisqueware absorbing too much water and not drying out. Higher bisque will cause less absorption. Another thing I did in the past was to sub Ferro Frit 3134 for up to half of the Gerstley Borate on certain glazes. That won't help people who use premixed glaze though. Thanks for posting this. I would love to hear your thoughts on this.

    • @storiesnstoneware
      @storiesnstoneware 10 місяців тому

      Yeah I agree that high bisque temps don’t really work as well. It is an option that I have heard so I thought I would suggest it. I do agree that the manganese causes issues as well. My kiln is hard to program a drop and hold ( it is fairly small and basic)so unfortunately I have never tried that solution. Thanks for suggesting it though!
