The process seems to be laborious, but I think it's part of the fun. Also, the results are awesome. I'm glad the sodium silicate bubbles survived. Nice job. With all those firing ou should have enough wood ash to try some glaze. That would also be fun, and challenging.
Hey Lucas! I'm still trying to edit together a different video just for the sodium silicate. Good eye catching it though haha. And yeah, there's plenty of ash! I actually made a glaze my first year creating pottery, but I can't use it because ash glazes are usually only used in Cone 10 firings. I'm no where near close to making a kiln that can hit Cone 10. Maybe if I insulated the red clay brick kiln that I made with higher rated bricks and had it firing for a day or two then I probably could, but that will definitely be attempted on some of my better pieces if I decide to try that haha. And I agree, the process is very time consuming and laborious, but I enjoy it none the less!
This is the coolest video i have seen all day
thank you Evan!
Thanks so much for making this!
Thank you so much for watching! Let me know if there is something else you would like to see!

@@Higher_Perspective_Art I thought this was the sodium silicate firing video. I'm happy to read that is gonna be another one :)
Awesome video, what type of clay would i use for something like this?
Thank you! I use clay from local areas around where I live. Majority of the clay I find and use is red earthenware clay that i mix with 20% temper.
To avoid thermal shock, use a clay with lots of grog in it.
Hi, are the pots bisque fired before you brought them to the pit?
Thanks for the video
