Making pottery pumpkins for incense this autumn - Halloween is coming!
Hi Friends!
In this tutorial I show you how I make these new pottery pumpkins for incense cones and tealights. I take you through each step: throwing on the wheel, trimming, carving, and glazing before firing in the kiln. You can see them all finished at the end along with lots of other pumpkin pieces I’ve been working on for autumn and Halloween!
These will be going on the website for my next Kiln Opening on Sun 6th Oct at 3pm BST.

These are darling!! Thanks for your tutorial❣️
Thank you for watching!
These are so cute! Sure would like to see how you construct the roof, though.
Oops! Sorry about that. If I had read all previous comments I would see that you have a tutorial on that! Thank you!
@@calliedavis1406 Hehe no worries so glad you enjoyed them :)
These are the most BEAUTIFUL tiles I have ever seen! ❤️❤️❤️
Hehe aw thank you so much xxx
So beautiful!
Ah thank you so much x
thx. What do you with the cut off pieces?
You can let them dry out and reclaim them. by adding water and wedging back into soft clay. Thank you for watching!
what kind of clay did you use :)
This one was a speckled stoneware but there are specific tile making clays you can use to too
Incredible. This is a really tempting way to make our bathroom distinct and warm! You mentioned the recipe for the green tiles, but did you mention where you got the recipe for the "opal" tiles? They are truly stunning. Thank you for making the time to make this.
Thank you for watching :) Yep here is the opal recipe - glazy.org/recipes/131996
STUNNING
Thank you so much x
Amazing results and fan video.💖.Can you please help me telling me what the produce that I have to use as a coat base for the wax warmers to do not get yellow from the fire? Thank you!
Thank you! You can glaze the bottoms of the warmers then any discolouration from the fire should wipe away. xxx
They are just stunning! Well done!
Yay thank you so much xx
Those two tone mugs with the carvings are so gorgeous! You mentioned you could share your glaze recipes. Would you please share the green and brown glazes on the two-tone mug and the opal? Thank you so much!
Hi Patricia - thank you for your kind words :) Sure the brown is this one: glazy.org/recipes/56085 The green is this one: glazy.org/recipes/32034 and the opal is this one: glazy.org/recipes/131996 Thank you!
@BlankEarthCeramics Thank you so much! 💚
Very beautiful! I've recently discovered Kurinuki pottery and I find it incredibly satisfying! Probably my favourite way to make stuff now.
Amazing! Its the best :) So glad you enjoyed the video - thank you for watching xx
These are lovely. I’m inspired to make one. My only hesitation is the reclaim process. Would love to see a video on how you manage. I haven’t seen one, but perhaps I’ve overlooked it. Thanks for sharing your process
Yes I won't lie the reclaim process its a bit of a task, I have plastic boxes all along the top of my shelves that I dry all the scraps in and then reclaim them in buckets then dry on plaster batts. I'm always in a cycle of reclaiming so I don't let it build up haha! My dream for the future would be a pug mill. It's one of those things that you get used to an incorporate into the day. I might include it in a video in the future - maybe one about the annoying but essential tasks to keep the studio running. Thank you for watching! x
@@BlankEarthCeramics thanks for this! I reclaim all my throwing bits, but the carving you do seems like…a lot. Helps to know you dry it out first. I really am interested in trying bc I hate building with slabs, I think I just need to try
Excuse me my brother can I ask you Please tell me how to make your own handmade ceramic ventilation block without having to use a machine thank you 🙏🙂
Fantastic video, what type of clay body are you using?
Hi Thank you so much! This is a stoneware clay with some grog in it :)
So pretty !
Ah thank you so much xxx
Loves these! I just made a bowl with leaf prints from my fig tree on the outside. I’m trying to find the perfect glaze. Please send me the link to the glaze if you can! Thank you!
That sounds lovely - fig leaves will look great! The green oribe glaze was this one: glazy.org/recipes/112401 plus 7% copper xx
Hey Su, i adore your videos! I'm thinking of buying a rohde ecotop 43l or 60l. Are you happy with yours? Would you buy it again? I really want to make miniatures and maybe a few mugs i think a kiln like big Alice will be waaayyy overkill for what i need. Are there any reasons you use that one over your ecotop, other than size? X
The Rohde ecotops are great smaller kilns - the 43l was really easy to use and suited us at the start we just out grew the size but for what you are wanting to make it sounds perfect x
@@BlankEarthCeramics thanks so much, that's really helpful to know! Xx
Where did you find out about this technique?
I would love to see your packing area inside
Thank you!! I will try and film it for a video xx
Thank you!
Thank your for watching xx
I love all of your work! Your color combinations are sooo good
Thank you so much xxxx
There so beautiful your pumpkins. I can't wait to get mine out from the wood kiln.
Ooooh very jealous of your wood firing!! I bet they will look amazing! Thank you for watching :) xx
The pumpkin mugs are super cute! And I love the mushroom wax burners. Thanks for sharing!
Ah thank you of your kind words :) Thanks for watching xx
the glaze combos are chefs kiss but your undervlaze paintings are fantastic. beautiful work.
Hehe! Ah thank you so much for your lovely comments :)
Awww how cute those pumpkins are!
Ah thank you!! xxx
I love your little cottages!!! Sooo darling
Ah thank you so much xxx
Omg…sooo cute!!❤❤❤ you mentioned glaze recipes….any chance you would share the yellow and brown ones on the “squash pumpkin”? Lovely!!❤
Sure thing the yellow glaze is this base glaze glazy.org/recipes/78051 and replace the cobalt and iron oxide with 6% high fire yellow stain (www.bathpotters.co.uk/high-fire-yellow-inclusion-glaze-stain-ref-zl-258/p3410) and 2% honey stain (www.bathpotters.co.uk/honey-leadfree-glaze-body-stain-b124/p279) and the brown is this one: glazy.org/recipes/17361
Just breathtaking work 🌈
Ah thank you so much!!
I've started paying close attention to your glaze colors for when we order our place setting, everyday set. I think the only thing that isn't listed online that we might want is a black for my husband but the others will be regular colors I think. I'm getting excited about it though and can't wait to email you back with our official order lol 💙LOVE your work! So much cuteness in one place I can hardly stand it🤩
Ah thank you Kera!! I do actually have a black glaze so when you want to order just email me and I can send you a photo :)
So cute! Love everything you do! 💙
Ah thank you!! So lovely of you xxx Thank you for watching :)
Everything you make is so cute
Can you do a vid on those mushroom ps? So cute
Yes!! that's a great idea - I'm making some for the Christmas collection so will be able to film for a video soon x
Yeah
How is everything so incredibly beautiful??? You're such an inspiration for us beginners!! 🙌🙌
Ah thank you!! So lovely to read :) Thank you so much for your support xxx
I love pink pumpin. Little house so beautiful.
Ah thank you so much xxx The pink came out so nice :)
So cut! Thank you for sharing your process! Lovely video
Ah thank you for watching :) xxxx
Thank you for presenting your tile making. It has inspired us with confidence to do our own relief tiles. Your end result looks fantastic.
For the bisque firing, how do you stack your tiles?
@@benjaminshaw I'm so glad you found the video helpful and good luck for making your own tiles :) For bisque I stack them on top of each other about max 5 tiles together so they aren't too thick. Thank you! Su x
What....this is precious!! I'm going to look for you on IG!
Ah thank you!! X
2:09 😂😂 I'm American!!! Thank you:) I can work in centimeters too. I love making these boxes!!! I'm going to finish your video now:)
Hehe!! I always find the conversions tricky!! So glad you like them :) Thank you for watching! x
It's very pretty :) What is that little smoking thing you put it over?
Thank you!! Its an incense cone xx
Уважаемый Мастер! Сколько стоит такой чудесный домик?
Hey they vary in price - you can get an idea from my last shop update here: www.blankearth.co.uk/kiln-openings New houses will be added to the website on the 6th October x
Are these type of homemade tiles okay for a bathroom reno--waterprooof, etc?
Hi yes they are waterproof and absolutely fine for a bathroom reno xx
@@BlankEarthCeramics thank you! Might try making my own bathroom tiles!
@@cinnamaldehyde5815 Yay good luck x
How long do you burn it fore ?
It increases about 100C every 10 mins up to 1000C Thanks for watching :)
Are your houses green or do you start with them already bisque fired?
They are bisque fired :)
You provided perhaps the best walkthrough of making your own tiles that I’ve watched so far. I love your process. ❤ it’s very inspiring!
Ah that's lovely to hear! I'm glad you found it helpful :) Thank you for watching! X
Stunning work, as always! I'm excited to see the mushrooms 🍄 😊👏
Thank you for your kind words! Me too :) Glazing them this week!! x
