Great video. Very well done and plainly instructive. This is one of the best pieces of video on youtube, why? The nature songs are enough just as audio. Let alone actually good pots, character and camera work. It’s art about art. Total fan.
Did you make your own kiln? If so how? What colour effect does the ferric chloride give? Would the ferric chloride work for a pitfire? Thanks so much it's a wonderful video.
Hi Colleen, thank you for your comments, yes I made my own raku kiln from a dust bin, there are several you tube videos which you would find helpful my recommendation is that if you choose to make one , use a dustbin with straight sides most bins are slightly conical and this makes it a little difficult in cutting the fibre.when purchasing fibre choose the none carcinogenic . You can achieve the same results in a pit fire or oil drum fire if you add sufficient wood you should reach 750 to 800 centigrade well worth trying. Hope you are keeping well in these difficult times.Regards Frank
Hello Frank. So kind of you to share this, many thanks! I have one more question if you don't mind: can these vases be used as real vases afterwards by inserting a kind of coating so that they become waterproof? If yes, can you advice me on what kind of product I can use? Many thanks and greetings from Brussels.
Hello dear Frank, I loved watching the transformation after the pots sat a while. What clay did you use and did you burnish? Hope to hear from you when you see this notice. Lu
Love your work and fabulous film, when you fire it to 750 how long do you keep it at that temperature (soak)? Can you confirm the colours the materials produce - Ferric Chloride -Orange, Copper Carbonate - Green, Sugar - Black, Coffee Grains - ?, Seaweed - ?
Hi, I do apologise for not responding sooner. Fire the pot to 250 hold at 250 for about 15 minutes then increase the the temp to around 750 turn off and allow to cool to around 300 .remove from the kiln ,carefully remove the foil and allow the colours to develop.the ferric chloride will give you light orange,the copper carbonate will give give you a rich orange the sugar will create halos within the colours. Seaweed will create black/ green spots, coffee grains black spots , Epsom salts will give you yellow if when you close your foil you press some of the foil tightly against the pot you will create grey . The results are very unpredictable . Hope you find this helpful. Regards Logan
@@franklogan7557 . Do you spray or dip them in water to freeze the colour, or do you just let them air cool and hope they stop where you want them to? really nice video. I loved the results.
Deep Ashtray Sorry not replied sooner. You can use wax, I personally use Plastikote sealer. And I spray approximately from 18 inches away to protect from handling and atmosphere.

Love the video! I am highly allergic to coffee. Do you think tea would work instead?
I'm sure it would

deejayy2k because of the fiery chloride?

Yes you can use beeswax or mink oil ..there also other oils bud I don’t remember right now. Sometimes you need to wax them again after a while

Are we talking about Fahrenheit or Celsius ?
im new to pottery, are the pots fired first then cotated then fired again? or just one process
Pots are bisque fired first (950-1000 C )
Did you put terra siligata on before or not?
Beautiful, great video!
Thank you for this video. Very interesting!
Do you put a sealer on the final finish to protect the coloration? Something like beeswax or mink oil.
