I've been unapologetically binging on your videos this week (huz'b works evenings). And I'm lusting after your talent. I was a commercial artist in several fields of art all my life...practically. And I always considered pottery my "hobby". But now I have inherited a kiln, and a slab-roller, and a wheel. So, on with this next chapter, huh? There is something about the perfect belly of a coffee mug in your paws that is so comforting, right? Yours looks amazing! I am gathering up the motivation to delve into mugs. Might try slab first, but the wheel is def in my future. Thank you so much for all of the inspiration and instruction you give to us. Big hugs, cat
Wow!! Thank you so much Cat!! 🥰🥰🥰
Yes, get on that wheel!! Gurl you inherited some goodies and clearly you have artistic abilities! Have some fun!! Cheers!!
Hi Sarah! I must say, this has to be one of THE best videos for me. You cover throwing a mug (which I’m struggling with) and sharing your purchases and where you purchased them. Every aspect is covered. I love watching your videos and kiln openings. Thanks so much.
Cathy from Massachusetts
Long awaited!! Happy New Year everyone!!
Hope you'll join me in the chat!
Sarah! Thank you! Thank you!👏👏👏👏 you are amazing!
You're so welcome! Im soooo happy you enjoyed it!! 🥰
Thanks for the Great White North Pottery shout out 💚 love working there!
My pleasure! You guys offer great CS, selection and ship super quick! 💕
Love that butter dish! Cute test tray! Nice unload!
Thank you Audrey! 🤗
@SarahWaltonPottery OMG Sarah! Wrong person! Hahahaha! I thought I was commenting on Delighted Owl. What an idiot! BUT, I did catch your vid! I like seeing how you throw! Love the LOVE mugs! You are so fun. Thanks foe being to gracious in your reply to me after I pulled such a loser move! Happy Creating, Sarah. ✌️
Sarah, thank you so much for all your tips. Your mugs are amazing! I see myself drinking some tea in it. I love the thinness of your rims, not nice drinking tea in a thick mug. 💕🎀
Thank you so much Sonja!! I really appreciate your kind comment! 🥰
Hi Sarah! Great video. Thanks 😊😊
Im so glad you liked it! 🥰
Thanks for sharing Sarah. Love the shape of your mugs. Great tip on using underglaze on the leather hard pot. Gonna try that. 👍
Thank you Bette! I just pulled them out of the kiln and the UG looks pretty good, I did decide to go with another coat just to make it perfect, but I looked awesome as is. 🥰
Thanks!
Dont be shy!! say hello over in the Live Chat!!
Really great video. Lots of information and details on each stage of producing your beautiful mugs. Thanks for sharing 😍
Glad you enjoyed it!🥰
Great video Sarah 👍 Love the crystal tip😍. Good to see you, you look nice and warm in your studio!
Hi Starlynn!!! Yep, I don't go outside in the winter unless it's absolutely necessary! 🥶 Tho I did go into the garage yesterday to load up Seraphina for her first bisque of 2024! The crystal is game changing! you will be amazed on how smooth your pots get! 🥰
@@SarahWaltonPottery yay💕!
Love your videos! I’ve just started extruding, and was told to wrap my clay in cling wrap. Wrap the cling wrap to cover the bum of the clay, leave the neck of the clay uncovered about 1 inch. The cling wrap scrunches up when as the clay empties…then you don’t even need to clean your barrel! I hope you understand what I mean. Lise 😊
Thanks for this Lise! I will try that !!
Make sure to wrap the clay like a sausage, with the ends as above. Good luck! 😉
Sarah with the gun you roll your clay to fit the gun cylinder and roll the clay cylinder in the food film cling Wrap leave about a finger or 2 finger on the front of the clay cylinder with no cling wrap , on the back of the lay cylinder you just have twist the film to close, slide the cylinder on the barrel gun and and finish assembly your gun extruder and extrude you handles. When you finish just open the front of the gun and take the clay out , basic you don’t have to clean the gun and also you don’t have to take apart the gun, just the front os the gun, you don’t have to clean anything, works for wall extruder. I hope I make sense, English is not my first language. If you don’t get it let me know I can always get my daughter to write😜🤗
Love this idea Marcia!! I will definitely try the cling wrap! I totally understood what you were saying too😉....Thank you!! 🥰
Another great tutorial! Thanks a bunch! Sounding stone is a great pottery supply place!
Thank you so much Lorelei!! 🥰 I also like Amaranth Stoneware and Great White North Pottery Supply. If you haven’t tried them they are super quick with delivery and great service too!
@@SarahWaltonPottery thank you for those suggestions
Awesome video thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it! 🥰
I never order glazes or clay during the winter! The trucks and planes are not heated and the areas the companies keep things while they are being shipped aren’t likely heated as well. I’ve had so many issues with frozen glazes. They end up having oolites in them. Thank you so much for this class. Can’t wait to see them glazed.
Thanks Michele!! I'm glazing them and 40+ more! So Ill probably have a couple of videos in the near future!
This is great, I love it! Thank you so much.
Yay!! I'm so happy you enjoyed it...and you are most welcome!! 😉
I really enjoyed watching your video!!!! It was very helpful and informative! Thank you!
Oh, Thank you!! I'm Glad it was helpful!🥰
Your wheel throwing demo was superbly done. Thank you
I’m sooo happy you enjoyed it!! 🥰🥰🥰
Sarah, I just wanted to drop a few words of gratitude for your very informative videos. I am a PMC Artist that has recently decided to try out my skills on what l like to call the 'bigger clay'.😜 I am slowly getting to know this new form of clay, and having fun getting to know this new medium. A lot of the tools I already have in my studio are transferable to this bigger clay but there are a number of other tools you have mentioned and so kindly provided links for that I appreciate. Your links have made it so much easier for me to do my research. Glazing is a total grey area for me so all your videos on this topic, the demonstrations on applications, examples of combinations, including the fails have been a huge bank of information. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I am a fellow Canadian so your recommended sources is very helpful for me as well. (I live in the beautiful Fraser Valley of British Columbia -- Langley, BC - a suburb of Vancouver).
PS. Your work and color combinations are absolutely lovely. My favorites are the Lusterous Jade under Dark Green with the Blue Rutile (Previous video) and the Red Wine with Autumn Purple; Purple Glaze etc. In your words, "Gorggggg!" For me they were "Awesome Sauce"!
Hi Karen!! WOW I am so flattered by your comment!! THANK YOU! I am absolutely thrilled to hear that I have helped you make the transition to 'bigger clay' and opened the world of glaze to you! I love meeting my viewers, even if by comments and chats, and learning their process and even learn how I can adapt my videos to include other clay mediums. Thank YOU for your support! 🥰
Thanks Sarah great video. Love how you go into so much detail and don’t skip any steps.
Thanks Julie! I'm so please to hear you enjoy...I sometimes wonder if I talk too much...well I know that I do 😅, but I figure that someone that doesn't want all the details can just fast forward! Your comment is very encouraging to me! 🥰
I will check out dollar store. Thanks. 🙏
Let me know if you find them! 🥰
Love them
Thank you!! Hope they make it out of the bisque fire ok!! I’ll know tomorrow🤞
Great Video Love the Sounding Stone great prices and customer service
Yes, they have an amazing selection of pottery goodies and they send things soo quickly too! I wish i lived closer so that I could actually browse the shelves myself! Tho, Id probably spend too much!🤣
@@SarahWaltonPottery yes I am 6 hrs from them 2 days tops if not the day after I order
Your handles for your mugs fit perfectly, have you tried pulled handles or handles of the mug before … I’m still trying the pulled method out , the struggle is real .
Hey Shawn. I do pull handles from time to time, tho I let them set up a bit before I attach. I’ll pull a few and arch them hanging off the edge of my table. I don’t usually pull directly off the mug.
You are fun! Thanks for another enjoyable Sarah Walton Video.
Oh thank you! 🥰
OMG LOVED this video! I so appreciate the hard work that went into this...sharing your process was incredibly helpful to me! Thank you again Sarah, and get some rest! I know this was a doozy to shoot and edit :)
THANK YOU Kevin!! It took a fair bit of time to piece it together, that's for sure! I enjoy the process, I just wish it was faster!😅 It makes me so happy to hear that you enjoy my work...and you are most welcome!
Dont be shy guys!! pop over to the chat!
Great tutorial Sarah! I love your videos. I finally bought myself the Cirrus Flow, but haven’t tested yet! I also love the lettering you got. ❤
Hi Ana!! Thank you so much!! You will get so much use out of the Cirrus Flow, I just know you will love it! 🥰
@@SarahWaltonPottery Sarah is the Cirrus flow similar to flux blossom? I’ll do some tests soon and I can tag you. I’m interested to see how it will react with other glazes over it. With Flux blossom, I usually use it at the bottom half and when other glazes touch it, they will run. TIA🙏🏻
Thanks for an informative video Sarah. I am going to have to get my hand held extruder out of storage - I think it is the same one as yours. I remember having a lot of trouble with bubble blow outs and lines across the extruded pieces that would crack right across. Practice I guess.
Hi Jane! I make sooo many things with my extruder, and yes the blow outs are a pain, try plugging them like i did..it works and I don't have defects... make sure that the clay doesn't lay on the table while you are extruding as that seems to give the lines, having it hang (tho a workout) really helps prevent that issue..the blowouts not so much, that's why i do it over the table so that if it falls i won't fall on the floor...et me know if you have any success 🥰
I haven’t even finished watching the video and I’ve already saved it! Thank you so much for all the tips and tricks!! It’s really helpful to see the process. ❤❤❤
You are so welcome! Im glad you are enjoying it! I know its a long one😬
Another brilliant video , thank you Sarah for showing your mad skills! I have watched hundreds of pottery videos over the past year and this video is probably the best one I’ve seen to understand the basics of pulling .
I am sooo flattered!! Thank you Shawn!! I'm thrilled it was helpful!!!
Wow best beginner vid I’ve seen! Thankyou for the shout out too hunni xx could u pls explain yr mug drying process to avoid handle cracking? Do u slow dry? Thanks!
Hi Nat! THANK YOU!! it means so much to me that you enjoyed it!! I dry all my pots SLLLLLOOOOWWWLY. When I first attach my handles I will cover them with a plastic sheet or shower caps (I get them at the dollar store and they are great for covering up your pots) for a couple of days so that they are in there own little atmosphere and the components really marry. This works for me. If the pot is on the dryer side I will mist my pot the first day so that the whole pot is moist but not wet. I carefully lean my mugs on their handles with corks to prop them and that keeps them really snug while they dry. Hope that makes sense🤪 Cheers!!🥰
@@SarahWaltonPotteryI think I’m wasting too much time drying mine. I put my mugs in air tight tub for a week then under plastic for 3 days then air dry. Is this over kill??
Your clay is so soft looking !!! I think my clay is too old now :( I will have to deal with that😅
Oh yes its so nice to throw with! You can soften up your clay tho...I do it all the time with some older boxes. Get a large bucket that is deeper then a bag of your clay. add a half cup of water into the bag, make sure it runs down all sides, and seal it up. then fill the bucket with water to cover the top of the clay in the bag, this will act like a vacuum and push the water tight to the bag, leave it overnight and it should be nice to throw with again.
Great video and tips, always excited when I see you uploaded a new video. ❤
Thank you sooooo much!! You are always there for me!!🥰
happy new year first of all even tho it's late 😅 these mugs are cute i would have prefer that u stamped on the mugs or transfers for valentine's
Happy New Year to you as well!! Thanks for the suggestion. I though about stamping the mug directly but went with the appliqué which I'm pretty certain that the words won't get covered up when I apply the glaze. fingers crossed🤞🏼🥰
@@SarahWaltonPottery oh ok I see
Not worried about product freezing? I’m in Chicago and need to order glaze!!
I usually don't have an issue as I'm home so the box isn't left outside on my porch...stores usually send it by a carrier that keeps things from freezing..however this time I suspect something went wrong with the one supplier because my glazes felt like they may have froze... I plan on marking the caps so I can track to see if i have issues.
I’ve been told that freezing isn’t an issue. I’ve had some solid frozen glazes, and glazes were fine. Hope yours are fine Sarah!
Hi. Can you add link for the MKM letter set please?
Here you go... 😉 www.soundingstone.com/products/mkm-tools-prints-charming-font-stamp-set
Where did you get that sponge that you use for throwing. I looked all over and couldn’t find it.
Hi Eileen I’m sorry it’s not in the links bcuz I got it at the dollar store and I couldn’t find a sample online... It came in a pack of like 6 sponges all different colours,I took one and chopped it up. Hope that helps!
What brushes do you use ?😊
Hi Catherine, I'm always picking brushes up wherever I go, but I'm guessing you're referring to the tapered, flame shaped brush...I meant to put a link in my description but I forgot, sorry about that! here is a link to a similar brush set...I couldn't find my exact set, however this came with even more bushes. amzn.to/48SSfTY
@@SarahWaltonPottery you are the best I have been learning a lot through your videos thank you so much !!!! ❤️
can u say the weight of clay in grams instead of pounds
Honestly Tonie, I don't know the grams..it's a strange thing in Canada, a lot of us use a combination of metric and imperial systems. I understand heights, weights etc in pounds, feet and inches. Yet speed and distance I use kilometres...I will try and remember to look it up when I speak to weights etc, but I can't promise that will always remember 😬 I did a quick google search and 1½ pounds = 680.39g.
@@SarahWaltonPottery oh ok it's alright
I love seeing your giving a demonstration on the wheel! That’s so helpful! Thank you!
🥰🥰🥰 I'm glad you enjoyed it...I may make some more wheel demos videos..it's such a big part of the process...Thanks!!
