    So I never saw you add any water to the transfer when applying to the moist clay you just rubbed it onto the clay correct?

    • @deedeeshark3292
      @deedeeshark3292 Рік тому

      Yes, it's best when the clay is perfectly leather hard neither too wet or dry. If your clay has dried out try sponging some water on lightly either directly to the area you are applying or over the top of the transfer. This is not ideal as sometimes it can smear the "ink" or cause the paper to tear. Use water sparingly and carefully.

    I don’t feel so bad now! 😆😂😆😂 My poor husband is learning to throw pottery. Some months back, he was able to clear out about half of our barn (it is one of those smaller barns with metal sides that most people keep a lawn tractor & other implements of landscaping & garden destruction tools) so I could setup a small studio. I don’t have a kiln, tho I desperately want one. He watches me throw pots a lot, then he gives it a go. Trouble is, I’m left hand dominate & he is right hand dominate. Most right handers throw with the wheel spinning counter clockwise; lefties do so with wheel spinning clockwise. Then there is the using of opposite hand placement; hwr, to be fair, I do have some movements that are considered as throwing in the middle meaning both lefties & righties can use the same movement. It took me several hours before I was able to throw anything that remotely resembled my intended shape. Bear in mind that I hadn’t thrown a pot in some 18-20 years. After finishing that first piece that came out as I had intended, I pulled the wire against the bat like I would to remove it only instead of pulling across completely, I stopped halfway through the base & pulled the wire up thru the middle. I could feel his reaction before he said a word. 😂. He immediately asked me why I had done such a thing because the piece was great. I replied, ‘so I can learn from the mistakes.’ I immediately pointed to the lower sides just off the bat. This area needs to be pulled up better next time; the bottom needed to be compressed more evenly; that section over there is too thin & will buckle under, etc. After I showed him everything, he understood why I did it, though he was still a bit upset about it. lol Later that afternoon, he became more upset because I wired thru every piece he made on the wheel. I continued to do so for days, weeks, & months. It wasn’t just his pieces either. I wired thru the middle of my own pieces too. It has been a few months or so now. I don’t wire thru as much as I did before. He simply doesn’t really know when I’ll do it. His other source of disbelief is when there is less clay to throw. I add dry (non-fired) thrown pots to a bag then using a hammer, I break them into smaller, more manageable pieces that are added to a bucket & barely covered with slip from my water bucket in order to reconstitute it back into workable clay that I’ll reclaim & wedge so it is able to be thrown again. These are but a few things I’ve learned from the two intermediate pottery classes 18-20yrs ago, teaching methods I learned from my great-grandfather (he introduced me to a pottery kick wheel) & others like my late mom, great aunts/uncles, & the many potters online such as UA-cam. Now, with Tea’s shared pearls of wisdom, I have even more techniques & learning tools to allow me to become a better potter. I desperately want a kiln. Sadly, they are too far out of my financial grasp. It’s merely the hardship of life on a fixed income. Even the smaller test kilns are super expensive! We live in the city limits so I can’t do a pit fire. I couldn’t run a pit fire at someone else’s home outside the city limits because I’m legally blind. I have some light perception. It simply isn’t enough to fire clay in a pit firing or raku setting. I’d be apt to hurt myself or someone else. I don’t think my neighbors would like my using a raku kiln either. The city has an ordinance regarding open fires. They don’t have an argument with electric kilns. That argument is solely controlled by the low level of my pocketbook. 😕😢

  • @sammi-joreviews1135
    @sammi-joreviews1135 Рік тому

    I am working with my husband trying to throw on the wheel, albeit, I’m relearning how to throw as it’s been years since I was proficient. It turned out that our daughters needed me more than I needed to throw pots. Dh was able to clear a bit of space for me to setup a small studio. It is difficult for me to teach him because he is right hand dominant & I’m left hand dominant. Also, he is at that stage where he thinks wedging clay takes too much time & strength, leaving too little time to throw. I don’t have a kiln or other way to fire pots, so he has yet to experience having a pot he’s babied thru the wedging & throwing, not to mention trimming without punching thru the pot, only to have it blow up in the kiln from air pockets. 😂😆😂

    • @autumnarcher
      @autumnarcher 11 місяців тому

      She answered this question on her site! "The decoration on these pieces is done at the greenware stage, when the clay is still leather hard, meaning it is still malleable but will hold its form. Once the pieces are thrown on the wheel, they are trimmed and finished, and then coated with a range of different colored slips - ranging from a red iron to a dark blue, to a soft green. Once this layer of slip dries, I use my slip trailing tool to trail on patterns of ferns, spirals, and other nature-inspired designs. This slowly dries and then the pots are loaded into the kiln for bisquing. Each piece is glazed in a glossy clear, and then fired for roughly 20 hours to cone 10 reduction, reaching roughly 2480*F. After a two day cooling period, the kiln is unloaded and each pot is sanded before being packed for its new home. All of this collection is dishwasher and microwave safe."
