Hello! Welcome pottery lovers, I am a hobby potter from Cincinnati OH. I'm a busy mama of 2 girls and learned pottery by watching videos since I have little to no time for classes. Perhaps you are starting out and would like some basic tutorials, enjoy kiln openings, or like ASMR pottery videos and that's what I hope to do with this channel!
Toasted Mugs & Loves

Time to trim mugs, everyone! This video is all about trimming those thrown mugs shown in my previous video. I used different trim tools and styles plus different ways to create and attach handles. Wait for the end for a special cute clip!!
good to see you! love your glaze combos and pottery shapes😃
I just love all the different things you make. Great variety of pieces as well as glazes. Glad to see you’re back!
Thanks! I hope to do more videos while I ramp up for the holiday markets
It would be helpful if you could share the coats of glaze you apply,beautiful work
That would be helpful! Usually I dip glazes but a few I do brush, typically at least 4 coats
I really love you Mama!!! Amazing tutorial. Thanks.
Thank you so much. I’m a beginner who’s been thinking of doing a single fire as soon as I started throwing. I really appreciated your informative video. I love the lesson conclusion at the end. Also I’m curious about would a single fired mug dishwasher safe as well as microwave? Perhaps I’d have to test that myself?
Welcome! Definitely watch videos by Simon Leach, he exclusively single fires. The final pieces if you fired to the correct cone to be vitrified, the pieces should be dishwasher/microwave safe. I often advise buyers to heat things slowly in the microwave to avoid thermal shock, 30sec-1min at a time.
Can you share which glaze it is at 7:29?
Sunny Day? It's a layer of Floating Base + 10% Light Rutile and then the same floating base recipe but with a small percentage of chrome layered on top. This kiln load was a bit hotter so it melted nicely!
Can you redo this video without the music?
Really creative and pretty. Thank you for sharing with us
I could tell that they were snowmen,nice work! Thanks so much!
Love these! For the gold and silver. Make a little plate to put the mugs on and then put that down under the mug when you do the splatter to catch the splatter. That stuff is soo dang expensive!!
That's a good tip!
Love love love your pottery and glazing. Your sound effects are great! Your display photos are perfect! I am so glad I found you.
Your work is so stunning! I just barely found you and this is my second video of yours. Love your teapots. It does looks like that bottom shelf got a bit too hot for some of those. The rest was great.
Look at that beautiful chattering on that mug! Well, all your work is beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing the finished work!
9:07 wow!! ❤
2:55 What is the Millie's magic glaze? It is beautiful 5:08 is beautiful too! Well, they all are beautiful 😅
greetings from illinois! thank you for this great video explainer. the tip for moisture equalization between inside/outside was especially helpful. i'm going to try this (because honestly i don't care to re-load kilns xD). tangent question: do you mind me asking how you do those neat off-center/ovoid turning marks on the bottom of your mugs? i've seen that a couple craft fairs now and haven't been able to figure it out without botching my feet
Check out Simon Leach's videos about how he does single fire! He is the expert! And do you mean the swirl pattern on the bottom? It's from the wire cutter I use, I don't trim the base of my pots if I use that wire.
Thanks!
After glazing, how many hours or days do you keep to dry the peices? If you fire it the same day, wouldn't it explote due to moisture?
Let it dry for about a week. Depending on the moisture in the air. It would explode if you fired it the same day.
Seaweed is a tricky glaze, it doesn't like too thick of a glaze layer. I had crazy pinholes when I put in on the rim last time with like 6 layers of other glazes underneath. and I think I fired too hot. Prob. went to cone 7 😅 but that was on a bisque test tile so it was a good learning there.
Very tricky glaze, but when it works it's pretty!!
How do you price your beautiful pieces and where do you sell them?
Good question, since I'm hobby potter I price my pieces based on how much clay I used, 10$ per lb usually+ $2 for glaze, so a large mug with 1.5lb is 15$+2$ glaze = $17 and I sell them at local craft fairs/markets and on my website :)
Great video!! I was curious how you used the US pigments to make the swirly glaze? You should make a video!! Thank you for all your insights!!
Great Idea! Stay tuned
Am a rill iss. It’s a flower. I wish I knew you were at NCEC I was there 3 days! I like the ivy, but not a fan of the satins either. My kiln has them in it now.,
Haha yes after I posted the video I realized I DO know how to pronounce Amaryllis! I was at NCECA only for 1 day, mainly to check out all the vendors and people watch :) Let me know how your pieces turn out!
Thank You "Two," love and Appreciate your posts .. and enjoy the way you two present 😊. You may have shared this before, and I missed it... What cone do you fire to? I look forward to the next kiln unloading by You Two, and the next demo.
Thanks! I'll let Katie know she has a fan! lol I typically like to fire to a soft ^6, however after this last firing I changed my thermocouple since some of my other pieces in that kiln just didn't turn out right and the witness cone showed a hot ^5, not a ^6.
@@potterymama744 👍🤗
That was a great week of learning and free stuff!
Thank you so much for sharing this with all of us!! Your little cheerleader is absolutely ADOOOOORABLE!!! I need one!!! I really love the swirl pigment mugs!!
YES! She is always so positive! Encouraging both of my girls to try out pottery and painting too along with cheerleading :) lol
I see you don’t spray the bottom? Also what kind of clay is best to use for this process? Thanks so much. I’ve watched this several times.
Thanks for watching, definitely check out Simon Leach and how he does raw glazing! I do spray the bottoms if I did a double dip but the only issue I keep encountering is cracks on the rim, bottoms are always fine. And I use a variety of clay bodies, I'm not sure what the difference would be between types of clay, that's a good question!
Was your first mug glazes in Rutile?
The very first mug was inside 10% Light Rutile, and outside was a floating chrome glaze, I think 2% ?
Thanks😊
Thanks for sharing your experience
She just wants to join the fun. So cute
Amazing to wAtch this pottery making👌👍stay connected
Thank you, I will
I am seriously considering switching to single fire - anything to save time/costs but still have high quality. I've started pouring on glaze instead of brushing for this reason and will never go back!
There's a great Facebook group for single firing.
Can you share the name pls
The studio I go to is switching over to single firing. Cool how this popped up.
I would love to know what glaze combinations you used
Sure! which mug or mugs are you curious about?
I don’t even have words! You make such amaaazing pots!!! The way you display them for pictures just enhances them! Is this your kitchen or a display you put together? I’d love an area like that!
Thanks!! I made a quick display out of 2 boards, I think they are 2'x2' from home depot, they are precut which is nice, screw them together in a L shape. Then I bought a small pack of stick on tiles for the backdrop!
@@potterymama744 GREAT IDEA! Thanks so much.
I have been raw glazing for a year. Had my first snafu my last firing. The kiln survived with just a few spots I had to grind (6th firing in this kiln ever 😩) but…. The ENTIRE load was ruined. Bits and fragments in every piece. Soooooo my bravery is toast and we are back to bisque lol
Oh NOOOOOO!!! that's rough to hear! I did a few single fires when I first started and just got too scared and went to bisque. I hope to keep single-firing from here but... it is slightly scary lol
@@potterymama744 haha I will share what I learned. Sometimes even glazing bone dry, overnight isn’t long enough after glazing lol so if you run a preheat, you should be totally fine! I am playing it safe for a few but probably go right back to single fire 🔥
I have an ancient Skutt kilnsitter so I don't know how this works with a more modern one, but I hear you shouldn't turn your kiln up until you can place a small mirror near your top peep hole and see no steam collecting on it... That way you know there is no more moisture left in the load before it really gets going.
@@deerhearted I have a kilnsitter too. It's a Skutt KS818. I've heard that too, but if I feel pieces are not quite dry I leave it on low for a few extra hours.
This is soo interesting! Your pots are just beautiful !!! One thing with brushing glazes is that you really need a natural bristle brush so it holds a lot of glaze. And it’s always a good idea to go in several different directions with each application. Oh and shaking the jar isn’t enough you really need to get in there and use a brush to stir all around the edges and bottoms. I hope that helps for next time. Thanks so much for showing this. How long did the entire firing take?
I agree, if you are going to brush you really need to invest in it fully by mixing very well and brushing at least 3 layers... I'm just too impatient! lol Total fire time was 9hours and 15 mins, a bit short I think so next fire I will tweak it to run a bit longer and slower from the start.
Great job, very nice looking pottery.
Beautiful mugs. Precious commentary
Absolutely beautiful!!!
I love Halloween.
Pottery Mama, I KNOW HERE. (in my best elf voice). This is my super talented wife and my oldest daughter. I love the moments they share in the pottery studio and I hope all of you do as well. Remember support your local artist!!
how did u make the rainfall glaze, its beautiful!
It's 2 glazes, first layer Heath's Elephant Ear and then over top use Heath's JP Purple. Both recipes are on glazy.org under an awesome glaze person named Walter Ivan Heath :)
I think your pots are my fav on UA-cam. Beautiful 😊
Thank you!!! That is lovely to hear :)
Thank you for sharing this technique, I’m not sure it can be suitable for me or not (because I’m using banding wheel for throwing pottery) but next time I will try ❤
Interesting, I don't think I've heard of someone using a banding wheel, are you finding that difficult?
I don’t find that difficult because I’ve learned about handmade pottery with banding wheel follow the Japanese techniques from the beginning until now. I love the way I have to spin the banding wheel manually instead of using the electric wheel. Yesterday, I tried your throwing technique, it works! But need more practice to make it smoother next times. One more time, thank you for sharing this video. You can visit my channel to watch some videos about pottery with banding wheel ☺️
Your Cordovan over Birch looks a lot like Amaco Iron Lustre over Spectrum Milk and Honey. Love it 💚
Thank you for sharing the honeycomb technique, the way you explained and showed it really clicked for me!
So glad it helped you!!
Some beautiful glaze combos - for me these pieces would be absolutely top drawer if the glaze went down to the bottom of your pieces, or to the edge of the foot rings at least. I know that because they run it’s really difficult to manage that, but worth some experimenting to ascertain just how far above the bottom you need to paint the glaze, to get coverage right down.
I've been thinking about your comment for awhile and wondered why I stopped going all the way to the bottom of my pieces. I think the reason was because I wanted to see the clay body as part of the whole image, otherwise the clay I choose to throw with becomes insignificant. What are your thoughts? When you cover your entire pieces do you ever wish to see some of the clay body?
@@potterymama744 ah yes, I understand where you’re coming from with that. I’m in a totally different place with my work…much of it is unglazed porcelain (with carved grasses/seed heads inlaid with black), some with additions that have an oxide wash under transparent glaze (I like the contrast between the glazed & unglazed, so we’re on the same page there!). The white clay is more like a blank canvas for me, rather than being an integral part of the overall design.
@@celiagreenaway725 Oh for sure white clay is a great canvas!! Your work sounds beautiful :)
Great video!!!! Thank you for sharing!
Love the background cheers!
Beautiful combinations! Thank you!
Thank you!
A Child's eye sees it in a different way as an adult! Amazing work, keep up pottering!
