Painting of the pottery sunflower bowl
This being a black clay, if I wanted the flowers to really pop I had to start with painting them white with underglaze. Then I could get to the color! This bowl took over an hour to glaze! #pottery #handmade #mayco

Absolutely terrible angle but making of lidded jar, a cookie jar, an urn, could just be a cookie jar!
Christmas already?! How pretty would these be with a beautiful green glaze on the inside??

Prepping clay for throwing

This is what I do when I’m prepping my clay for throwing. When I’m throwing large pieces, I sometimes just start out making bigger balls of clay but sometimes this is what I do too! #pottery #ceramic #handmade

Applying gold over glaze and mother of pearl on pottery
Haha. I’m live, (don’t embarrass me)! My gosh that cake stand is atunnning!! GREAT IDEA of how you glazed it!!! I hate the backs of pretty much all of my dang plates and platters, some bowls, always too afraid to put too much glaze on them and I really need to remember that I can! lol. I think it looks fine. Omg girl I LOVE that pumpkin sooo much!!!! For mayco’s rose quartz I only apply 2 coats, but somewhat thick. Where it will pool I make sure not to add it too thick. It’s worked out well. I love your sweater mug! I love making them too!! I unloaded my kiln after 2 days of it cooling and just sitting in there and mine are “popping too”! Worst sound EVERRRR!! I like the handbuilt pumpkins better just becasue they have a little more to them. I make pinched pumpkins and love using them for glaze tests! For the black and orange mug if you have cosmic tea dust or mayco fools gold they look amazing over black gloss!! I always make my handles for 3 fingers and I make sure they don’t stick out any more than they have to because they get broken more easily and they also “take up too much room in the cabinet” is what everyone says! I’m sorry this “comment” is now a good size pamphlet, but, that’s awesome to know about the micro glazes. I just got some tests out of the kiln and I got amazing crystals at a hot cone 6!! That first autumn decal mug is gorgeous!! I love that!! And the pumpkin mugs!!! Who is the autumn spice by? Awesome kiln unload!! Yes my favorites are the sunflowers!!
@@micheledickey4066 I so love long comments!!! The autumn spice is by coyote. I do think the two that were pinging so bad are dead. They don’t make the high ding sound when tapped. They make a thud noice so I think there’s a crack somewhere all the way though. Now I have pretty pencil holders!
@@PotterybyNatalie When you’re a potter you sure do end up with a LOT of pencil holders don’t ya? Lol
Lovely kilnopening! Just binge watching kilnopenings😂 nice to see your daughter helping ❤
@@Ellen.s.atelier thanks!!! And ya she likes to help! Only has broken one or two things. 😂
Very pretty
Nice job!
Thank you! ❤
Oh I love your kilnopenings and your daughter helping! Mine just yells funny words when I tell her I am recording😂 and she is fifteen😂 I just had a refirente of rosé quartz because it was ugly and put pearl white over it and it turned out wonderful! I will put the film on UA-cam when I got it downloaded!
Oh my 14 year old does that! 😂 this one here would love to be a UA-cam star so she’s just out there when she helps! 😊 I’ll keep an eye out for your refire!!!
@@PotterybyNatalie 😂😂😂puberty!! Almost done some finetuning on the video🤪read some horrible scene of me🤣🤣
Ana Leal mixes alumina hydrate with wax resist to stop lids from sticking. I’ve tried it with runner glazes and it works great, but I haven’t tried it with a lid yet. You should check out her recipe on her channel.-Liana My favorite piece was the refired bowl with designer liner 😊
@@user-ty5dy8rc3m hey thanks! I’ll look her up and see what a good trick may be!!
Love this piece!
Thank you! Somehow must have missed your comment! Thank you for watching!!
It’s beautiful!
Split bowls..are you wiring off bat? Maybe If so try not wiring off and just leave on bat , if not a plastic bat insert, and let it dry. It will separate naturally w less stress cracking. Love your bowls by the way.
@@katerhubee6590 I am wiring them off, I’ll try not and see if that is any better! I do use plastic bats for sure! Thank you!
Absolutely love that big pumpkin! Wow. Did you get the lid off? The white lace on the black clay is just beautiful!!!! I’m going to have to check out the transfers from Japan crafts!! I’ve been wanting to try a big pumpkin with my extruder like you did but I can’t find a 6”extruder die like that. I think I’ll have to have one printed. Have you ever used overglaze decals? I really think you would like them and they would look great on your pieces.
@@micheledickey4066 I did get the lid off!!! I was beginning to think I wouldn’t. I broke a tool in the process but I got it off! lol the little extruder die I got from little chip pottery tools and I think they may have a 6” of that die. I’ve been wanting a larger extruder but I haven’t splurged yet… I do use overglaze transfers quite a bit. Kinda maybe I’m obsessed. 😂 I don’t want to show my stash as it’s HUGE! Thank you for watching and thank you for the compliments! ❤️
@@PotterybyNatalie So glad you were able to save the pumpkin! The large extruders are soo expensive. I happened to find a barely used one for extremely cheap! I’ll have to look again and see if they have the 6” one. I’d love to make the pumpkins with that one.
That pumpkin. It is so cute!
@@moreldesigns2674 thank you! Pumpkins are my favorite!
Love your shirt!
@@moreldesigns2674 5 lines pottery on Etsy!!! She has several styles. ❤️
@@PotterybyNatalie checking it out now! Lol
Oh thank you for sharing! Sorry about the bowls! We all have our do not go near them pieces I guess 😢, I have that with big flowers, they always crack😊. But the rest looks amazing!! Love your colour combo! I am still waiting for my kiln to cool down⏳
😭 but why!!! Booo! lol well thank you and I hope everything turned out well for you!!
@@PotterybyNatalie yeah!! Still waiting for the kiln! But for now no more flowers,, it is flowers for the win.. maybe another time..😂
#replay thanks for sharing your kiln opening! Love that pumpkin mug and the other pumpkins. On the bowls, maybe dry slower? That's what I've heard about cracking.
Pumpkins are maybe my favorite thing ever! I hate summer so they bring me joy with cooler weather! I dry the bowls completely covered with plastic until they are bone dry. I guess I could wax them inside and out and cover them to go even slower… maybe I just need to make sure the clay has grog in it to have a good go at it?
Thank you for beautiful video big like 🌹 🙏 👍 🌹 🙏
Depending on the time here I will join you😊
@@Ellen.s.atelier hope to see you! If not, the replay will be up! ❤️
They will look great with green glaze on the inside! Thanks for sharing! Even the failed ones❤
When it’s 100 outside it’s hard to imagine Christmas! 😂
@@PotterybyNatalie I feel for you!
5x5!
Why is it your last time recording?
@@Carl-_-Jones oh I should have said it better, UA-cam now gave me the ability to do lives from here! So no more recordings, I can go live!!! It’s a good thing!
I love you video...family and live voice😂😂😂❤❤. Big pumpkin is so lovely.
@@JohannaSUNDQVIST-bf7ul 😂 they are a hoot! Thank you! I did get the lid off! Now to grinding the bottom!
Try saying bayou as BUY YOU
The poor dog sounds hot
@@loreeclary 😃 he really enjoys chasing bunnies and I had no idea his painting was that loud when I recorded it!
😂😂😂
Nee way to make pumpkins never thought of that!
Nice way😂
@@Ellen.s.atelier I knew what you meant. 😜 and thank you!!! Hope you make some too!
@@PotterybyNatalie I Will definately try!!
Nice work! Could you share the UG transfer site? They look like good ones.
Thank you! Yes the skulls are from Sanbao. Chinaclayart.com is where you can find them! I do get my transfers from so many different companies so if there is a different one you were wanting to know let me know!
Thank you soo much. I have this same extruder as well as a wall mounted that makes 4” to 6” extrusions. These would be so fun that big!!
@@micheledickey4066 oh I wish I had them that big! I want a wall mount extruded, just haven’t pulled the trigger yet. May be easier on the hands! I hope I can see your pumpkins when finished some time!
Hey, thanks for sharing how you make these guys! I just got this die for my birthday, so now I have a fun project to try.😊
Well happy birthday to you!!! 🎉 I was going to wait until we got back from vacation but decided to get a couple in!!
I would love to see how you make those extruded pumpkins! So cute.
@@PerrinPottery oh for sure I can make a video next time I make them!! Thank you!
I LOVE your shirt! I have a few warped trays, I guess I’ll try to fire it anyways! Great unload!
@@PerrinPottery I figure I may be out a little glaze and a little time but worth a try!!! It was off just a bit but sanded down the corner that was a bit low and it was perfect! (I epoxied a cheap diamond blade from Amazon onto a speedball bat)
Great stuff Natalie! Too bad about the running transfers. Out of curiosity, did you use the clear glaze on the whole piece, or did you use a liner glaze that wasn't clear? I'm wondering if a bit of liner glaze may have gotten on the rim under the clear and caused the runs? Just a thought based on where the transfers ran. That flag platter turned out spectacular! It's hot here too, but such is life in the south! LOL. Stay well!
I did use clear glaze on the entire outside but there is a liner glaze but I made sure it didn’t go over the lip. Good thought though!!! I’m going to test it out more on flat pieces and see if there’s something too that.
So glad to see you have a video today! It’s so hot here in Iowa as well. Over 100 with the heat index!! My bisque load has been sitting in the kiln waiting to be unpacked for 5 days now!!!! Omg loooove that plate!! I have a alipcast mold that has a flag on it and I have the hardest time keeping the white white!! Please let me know how you did that. That cake plate is amaaazing!! Gosh it’s absolutely beautiful!!! What kind of extruder do you have? I’m litterally commenting about every single piece but, lol. When glazing, especially celadons, make sure to brush each layer in a different direction to help get better coverage as well as less streaks. LOVE the flower tray and mug. Are those transfers from Australia? The next tray you showed the left side looks more blurry than the right, to me. The bee mug is amazing! How did you get the drips at the top? It will look amazing with mop!! Omg the Moses mug is incredible!! For the snowflake that doesn’t have a hole you can use a bail on the back or there is a wire that can be used in the kiln and while it’s still wet you can push that into the clay and then fire it and it will stay in the piece. THE PUMPKINS ARE SOOO AWESOME!! I make pinched pumpkins and they are such good glaze testers!! Love the shapes you have! What an awesome kiln load!!!!
I love the commenting on every piece! 😜 I hope you get that bisque unloaded and glazed soon!! 🤞🏼 as for the white on the flag, I actually left it bare clay and just clear glaze over it. I watered down colors for earth concentrates and just let the water fill in and did a couple layers to make it darker. I do know to go both directions when glazing, but do I always follow the rules? 🤦🏼♀️ the extruder is a nidec or shimpo hand held extruder. I’m sure I spelled that wrong… the transfers are from Australia and so the shipping took forever! The bee mug I have a mild with all things bees, so it was from that mold that were applied. The wire, I have some that I have had only about 30% success rate. It is the correct cone wire but it’s like it disintegrates when being fired! So I not a huge fan of using them. If I can not then I don’t!!!! THANK YOU for this detailed comment!!! Loved it!!! ❤
@@PotterybyNatalie That’s awesome. Im glad im not wasting anyone’s time. Lol. There is wire that is meant to go up to cone 6 make sure you have that wire. I’ve never had that happen. I wonder what it could be.
@@micheledickey4066 ya it is the same wire that’s why I have been reluctant to use it more. But I can still make them adorable without the wire! 😍
Awesome kiln opening! Love seeing the new Spectrums. Mine are coming and I can hardly wait! Such cute pumpkies! 🎃
They are tricky to get to know, how much they will run and all. They are stunning and well worth it!
❤🇨🇦
Beautiful kiln opening ❤🇨🇦
Thank you!!!

Bayou isn't pronounced "Hello-you" Its pronounced "Bye-you"... That's the way I remember it...Nice work...thanks for sharing... LOVED your assistants... made my day how sweet they were.
@@thatoldbiddy2 I knew I was saying it wrong I just couldn’t get it right! 😂 thank you!!! They are mostly sweet but man they like to try me! lol
With your extra passion flower crystals, you might consider adding eggplant to it. Similar base. If you haven't already used them up, watching this 4 weeks later, by the way, loved your helper in another kiln opening,
I still have it and I also just got some more eggplant! Thanks for that tip! And she is a pretty great helper! When she wants to that is. 😜
Wow I just watched till the end, beautiful glazing 🤩🤩
That’s a big chunk of clay 😮, beautiful throwing, thank you for sharing! I loved the idea of piece of wood as a support! What was the instrument you used for the foot? It’s pretty and a great “glaze stopper”🙏🏻
a.co/d/3H9S0Xh They are huge so really only usable with large pieces like this!
I loved the video, you have a great help there, explaining the glaze and the forms just like a professional potter :)) kind of I missed the last piece with the lid, what was the glaze there?
*a professional potter* 😊 thank you! And that autumn purple! I don’t think I did say it, I was so excited for my first lidded pot!
That ‘toad cup’ looked like the pattern was just a bunch of mushroom shapes in a raised pattern underneath, no idea why that would happen but what a strange accident
Not a coincidence, it was made with a mushroom textured rolling pin! That would have been wild if not!!!!
Jess’s chun blue should be much fuller coverage. Did you check the thickness?
It’s towards the end of my bucket. I did check it when I made it but as it’s run low it has gotten thicker and thicker so I have added water. I have not checked the thickness in a while but have done the fingernail test.
Jess’s chun blue should be much fuller coverage. Did you check the thickness? The patterned dish is amaaaazing!!! I love speckled toad!! It’s soo much fun and gives such great matallic colors. Can I give you a little hint on making and using test tiles?? Make your test tiles much taller. I make mine about 3” to 4” so I have room to put 1,2,3 coats plus flux if I want. When you do taller test tiles you will see much more of the glazes reaction to texture as well as flat surfaces. And if they’re runners you only have the 3 coats at the very top so they rarely go off the tile. Please don’t apologize for your kiddos. You have amazing patience! The shalet glaze is amazzing!!! The vases are amazing!! Wow!!! Just so you know, as long as your clay is fully vitrified you can use your vases. The glaze is not what seals the pot. The fire and ice is amazing as well. Wow!! Did you at the kiln to hold or slow cool? I don’t remember if you said. Sorry. Your June big really turned out beautifully!! The skull mug is great. I love how the glaze looks over them!!
Thank you!!! I can’t wait to show off some new transfers I just got!! And it’s because I brushed the exterior on. Had I poured it on, it would have been fine. It is a bit thin but I’d rather thin than thick and crawl! It should be better in the re-fire!
Apparently I couldn’t see all your reply until I got home! Amazing reply thank you!!! Test tiles- maybe someday I’ll make bigger ones. I had just gotten this extruded die from little chip pottery tools. You are 100% right that the vases are fine without the interior glazed I just think of how nasty water gets when flowers sit for days. It wouldn’t be easy to clean I wouldn’t think?
And I did do a 15 minute hold at the top of the firing with natural cool. I’d love to see some of those glazes with a slow cool but I want to mimic what I do on a normal fire.
Wonderful patience...needed for kids and pottery. Lol.
They do test my patients! Kids too but man pottery is a challenge. 🤣
I’m always to lazy to make test tiles. I also do it like you did and test everything on mugs 🙈 do you recommend having test tiles? I appreciate your advice and I love watching your videos 🙏🏻 Cheers Suza
The reason I wanted to do these tests and more to come is so that I can just have a bowl full of options and choose off of colors not memory of the colors. I will probably never do tests with glaze combos because well…. Laziness! But also there’s be too many to do! lol it’s not a bad thing to do! I just probably won’t.
And thank you for watching my videos! They are nothing fancy but I sure enjoy watching other people’s kiln unloadings!
I’m so addicted to kiln opening videos. 😂 probably like everyone of us 😜
Thanks for sharing. Your assistant did a great job!
She usually does a pretty good job. ☺️
Nat---'Maybe I'm gonna like it.' Not once after saying that did I ever LIKE IT.... not once! Whatever it was, it never saw the light of day again! Save yourself all the consternation!
lol ya, I guess it doesn’t matter anyway since it had the crack in the bottom!
Using Simon Leach hammer handle treatment will sererate the lids,,don't use the hammer head lol
I was able to successfully get them separate!! But I will look into his technique! Thanks!!
Such a fun kiln unload! I love how your glazes are swirling around the first bowl you shared! Beautiful!
The Hydrangea bowl is stunning!!😍 The hedgehogs are the cutest!! Would you please share where you got them from? Thank you for sharing your kiln opening🥰
Thank you! It’s from Elan transfers!
What an awesome save for the chip and dip!! When you have a bunch of crystals at the end of the jar mix them in with the next jar you get or you can buy the base glaze and mix a bit of that with the crystals. The underglaze decals often say they go to cone 10 but for some reason some do burn out. I fire to a hot cone 6 -7 and I haven’t had any fire out. The pitchers are amazing!!
I didn’t mean to hit the thumbs down!!! Sorry! lol thank you very much for all that! I hadn’t ever had underglaze transfer burn off either so I was bummed by that one!
