i used to watch your videos in highschool when i did pottery. almost every day. i watched every single one of your uploads without fail for almost two years. now i am 20 and dreaming of pottery again, I'm finally in a financial position to pursue it again so i looked your channel up for inspiration and nostalgia. hearing you say "hello you dirty potters" brought a big smile to my face. anyways, just wanted to share a bit of my story and say thank you for always being a positive, funny, and down to earth potter. you are incredible
Hi there…can you help for a moment with my 181 Skutt? Pretty please? I only have 4 plugs… am I ok to leave the top one out? I did a 6 cone glaze fire yesterday and it clicked off and when I opened it this morning nothing was shiny..all totally matte… all my elements are burning hot from what I can see today as i re-fire on high but like I said I only have 4 plugs… do you think it will get hot enough? Or should I try to plug it with something? Like Insulation? Not sure why my kiln shut off yesterday before things were done… maybe my old cones are too old..or I had an incorrect cone number? I am using a cone 6 for sure from a newer ‘old package’… hoping it is fine… any thoughts are welcome… trying to check temp with a thermometer gun but it is not Able to properly register a temp consistently…and highest seems to be 500F… not sure if the red beam is capable of the measurement…. We use if for our pizza oven floor and it works… but 🤷♀️ otherwise it is glowing very orange inside the kiln again today … How many hours on high if I have to guess ….if the cone clicks the kiln off prematurely again like yesterday? I am babysitting it til I get it to run long enough… my guess is about 5 hours on high 🤷♀️… so far it has been 2.5 hrs on high after 1.5 hrs warm up from low to medium…total of 5 since start but only 2.5 on High as of now…. But I can stay up all night if need be lol!
That is a gorgeous glaze! Interesting look on the Dragon Fruit. By the way… IMCO does deliver across the US. Shipping is not cheap, but they do sell samples of a couple of lbs so that you can try it out before you really commit to shipping out a full box. Honestly, I am thinking next time I make a trip out west that I will probably just decide to go see Cali 😂 (west coast beaches are on my bucket list anyway) and maybe pick up some more. That’s not for everyone, but that’s how I roll in my little SUV. It really is a gorgeous clay body. And the customer service at IMCO is seriously top tier amazing!
That deep galaxy effect is gorgeous. Love your new clay body with Midnight Run too!! I need to try that mix. Midnight Run is a flux and is a runner when used over another glaze.

Yes, IMCO ships. I ordered my Dragonfruit from there, and I'm in Maine.

Great informative review, thank you !

That iron bowl looked like a blue tea dust. Nice.
I thought it was a boring glaze until you showed that dragon fruit cup at 9:23 That is absolutely beautiful.
Sorry--- too drab and boring for me.
Fantastic review! Thank you, thank you!
Because…shut up 😂😂😂😂😂
That last "galaxy bowl" is stunning! How many coats of each? Iron is the top coat?
I just poured them both on I'm not going to lie
I thought those glazes were formulated for brushing. Did you add something to make them disable/ pourable?
That deep galaxy effect is gorgeous. Love your new clay body with Midnight Run too!! I need to try that mix. Midnight Run is a flux and is a runner when used over another glaze.
In Western Canada you can get dragonfruit clay from greenbarn!
Demon run! That would be awesome.
Now I have to try this glaze!
I like it! Thank you!
Another great review!
Thank you
Where is the link to order DragonFruit? From Amaco or Industrial Mineral?

Here is a personal one just for you
