I love watching you! Thank you for making these videos. I love the way you talk and share in your videos!
I'm very surprised that you haven't been touted to work as a presenter for a TV channel yet...
I am mesmerized by you x
If you counted slowly to one million I could happily sit here and watch !!!
just watched your video. for `waxing our bottoms' we use an old electric fry pan with about a quarter of an inch of heated paraffin wax, set your mugs in this and it gives a nice even ring. a trick I learned years ago...you put out great videos, I keep leaning things every day.. thanks bob
I use the same method, be sure to rotate your work 180 degrees in the wax in case the frying pan is not level
I realize it's kind of off topic but does anybody know a good site to stream newly released tv shows online?
@Tate Marvin flixportal :)

Hi guys
I saw you were going to do a video for adding a foot ring to a press mound ( in foam) plate, but cannot findvit. Love to see that.
Thank you. I always learn something useful!
So nice
You are freaking hilarious.
Very informative! Thank you!
Wax your bottom LMBO! Awesome video!
I love your videos ,Because watching your videos Im in quarantine I'm desire to do some ceramic with clay but I'm so confused about cooking in a regular oven and glazed after .If you can give some tips Im very gratful
very nice thanks
ya , underglaze how general of a paint can you uses ink , regular painters acrylic ,..etc because the glass-like glaze is just sealing it so its not in contact with the human. Obviously lead based paint or other things you wouldn't want to paint with. But how general can your underglaze be can you go to a local hardware store and just pickup an random paint to paint with before you glaze it. Or does it require a special paint that won't melt in a kiln just not sure.
I appreciate your insight on why using water with your sanding, however, wouldn't you still want to wear a dust mask?
Instead of sanding waz resist off, try using a diamond tip dremel it is much easier & quicker
How do you clean the wax from the brush/sponge? And how long does it usually take to dry the waxed bottom?
Ooo lala
Your videos are great. I am wondering what clay you use?
You said you were going to add color to the bottom of the pot? I'm pretty new to pottery and I was told I couldn't add any color to the bottom. I want to so bad! Sny tips would be appreciated! Great videos!
Hi sweety
What’s the difference in those 2 waxes? Which one is good for what?
Thanks Jess.
You mention 220 grit, have you tried any other grits on sandpaper in the last 4 years?
Knowing the danger of breathing the dust...why not use a respirator ?
Have you found another source for the Mr Marx since they took it off to reformulate ??
Maybe I missed it but why wax the bottoms as opposed to leaving them unfinished? I know you can't glaze the bottom of a pot because it will stick but does the wax leave it shiny or something?
Late reply! But you just don't want to get glaze on the bottom in the first place because it can be difficult to get it all off the bottom if you get it on there accidentally. Some people prefer not to use it at all but if you want to dip your pot with tongs instead of holding it by the foot to dip then it's good to use because it won't stick to the bottom and is much easier to wipe it off of wax.
Can I use beeswax?
Do you know if the burning wax creates fumes in the studio? At the place where I do ceramics, they don't allow using wax because they fear it will make fumes.
I use a carpet square in my sink dampened with water so you just rub the bottom of the pot on the carpet and this takes off 99% of your glaze and then just sponge of the little tiny bit left. It leaves a very clean and even bottom.
*I live in a tiny 2 bedroom flat in Scotland, I would love to be able to do this but I can’t afford a kiln. Is that anyway to do pottery at home?*
I can give you my two cents if you want to know one humble opinion.
It’s hard but not impossible. I have a lady that will fire for me but I do have to pay for it. And keeping everything clean is hard but I have a table in my room and work on small things. However I am ready to go to the garage just so I don’t have to vacuum the floor three times a day.🙂
hi What is the name of this material in which the pottery is immersed
Can it be manufactured at home?
I just tried to find the Hesselberth book on glaze that you recommended. It was $987.00!
Was it that expensive when you purchased it? Thanks for your feedback.
I also looked for the book. I was at my local clay supply here in San Diego and looked in the used book section. THERE IT WAS!!I I paid $35.00. It's now in my will lol
what clay do you use
Hlo , what material u used for glaze coatings
The glazes vary depending on the surface and color that I am trying to achieve but they are basically a combination of silica, clay, oxides and minerals. I have some glaze recipes on ClayShare.com under resources if you want to check them out!
@@JessicaPutnamPhillips ok thank you.
I too work on making new glaze recipes.i have make over 10 recipes using different oxides which different ceramic tile applications and insulators........
Great video! What is the price range for your firing ovens, and would they be reasonable for a hobbyist potter?
Cheers,
Nathan
Hi Nathan, kilns can be a bit pricey but you can often find good used ones for sale on Craigslist. It is an investment but if you love working in ceramics it is totally worth it! Another option is to join a community clay center then you can use their kilns and equipment. :)
Jessica Putnam-Phillips Thanks for the info. :)
If I wax my bottom it's going to take a heck of a long time because I have a big...bottom ,...lol
potter is having the graft of God when created Adam the man so it is so interesting
only one question which state are you from on in?
or wear a mask !
its always good to wear a mask when in doubt!
Please tell me hindi sister
