- Hi friends! I hope you are all well :) I'm back with a studio vlog for creating ceramic jewelry! At the start of the year, Mum and I thought we would collaborate on some ceramic earrings. We had a lot of fun and I learned a lot :) Let me know what you think of the earrings!

Thank you so much for watching :)
Daaang! You are the real deal! Congrats on your success!
Awww 🥰 thank you for the time to watch and leave such a kind comment. 💗
First again
Thank you for being here and being FIRST!! ❤️ Clay is a fickle medium for sure lol Yeah, the earrings sold out fast! I was super surprised! There’ll be more for a Mother’s Day shop so stay tuned around then - either on instagram, Facebook or newsletter. UA-cam always comes later due to editing. 💗
I love the earrings! Beautiful colab. ❤️
Aw thank you for saying so 🥰
SUPER CUTE earrings!!! Your pics are adorable!!!

Thanks for sharing this video! Are you using any underglaze on these earrings? And did you make the bisque-thingy to hang the earrings on for the glaze firing? that's great! Haven't seen that before... :)
Thanks for watching :) My mother made the chuck that we hang the jewelry from :) I use underglaze for the earrings then designer liner to do my mark making
Great idea with the earrings and other painted ceramics. I think a lighter heart earring would work better against your dark hair. Light orange might really pop!
Thank you so much :) I do have more glazed in lighter colors coming nearer Mothers Day! :) appreciate the feedback!
Beautiful! I am new to ceramics and would love to learn how to make jewelry from start to finish. I have no knowledge on the types of clay to use, glazing processes and kilns. And, how are the designs painted on and what type of paint is used? I started using polymer clay and I hate it! I make hand painted wood earrings. Thank you very much!
Hey sherry! That’s cool you make wood earrings and are learning clay now. I felt the same about polymer honestly - it was so tricky!
@@FionaCArt well painting wood and doing decoupage is more difficult than one thinks! As far as ceramics, they are just more beautiful and have the glowing shine that many polymer clay artists try to duplicate with little success. I can tell the difference!
hello! I greet you from Mexico, I just discovered your account and I am mesmerized watching how you create your beautiful pieces, wow congratulations! One question, what is the name of the metal that you put on the pendant? And how many times did you put the pieces in the fire? THANK YOU
Thank you, Adriana :)
For the metal I use this high fire wire: amzn.to/3U0KyUZ
And I fire everything twice: a bisque fire and a glaze fire 🔥
Hope this helps! 💕
Hello! Thanks so much for your tutorial. Are you able to make a bale/loop on ceramic pendants? Or would it fall apart?
I think it would work! I haven’t tried it yet tho :) thanks for watching!
Hello. Your ceramics is very beautiful. I was wondering how your earrings lay on a kiln? Because in mugs we should leave bottom of the mug without glaze, but earrings are with glaze in both sides. So how I should put them in kiln? :)
Thank you
Hi Vita :) thank you for the kind words and for watching! Good observation about the double sided! We use what my mum calls a “chuck”, which she made herself. It’s basically a form where you can hang the earrings off of it using high fire wire. We also use it to fire our ornaments for the holidays and such so they don’t touch the kiln. Hope that helps :)
she's super cute!
🥰🥰🥰
Hi, dear! Beautiful work! What do you recommend for hypoallergenic high quality gold findings?
Thanks for watching! I’m not sure honestly since I haven’t used that before - sorry!
that was amazing! I always wanted to make jewelry from ceramic but I don't know what type of hook wire to use. are you using stainless wire? or what type of wire are you recommend so it doing fine with the bisque and high firing?
Hey there! I use this wire, which works in high fire: amzn.to/3NG85Ia
@@FionaCArt that's nice! than you very much for sharing
No problem:) good luck with your jewelry making
Can u make them with a home oven or does it need to be an special/industrial oven ? Thx xx
With the clay we are using it needs a kiln. But I know people make earrings with polymer clay and use an oven I believe. I don’t have any personal experience with it though.
what wire are you using? I have nichrome wire which can be used in a kiln (to my knowledge!) Also, have you ever tried to make ceramic rings using wrapped wire? I am trying to figure it out and need help troubleshooting :)
I am using nichrome! I have replied to others here in the comments with links to the specifics. And I haven’t tried rings yet!
they're cute!
Are they heavy?
Thanks! I don’t think they are too heavy - at least no one has complained they are lol thanks for watching!
What clay did you use .They are wonderful 😊
Porcelain :) thank you!!
How do the earring pieces get fired? Are they hanging from a stand in the kiln or laid flat?
Yes we hang them from a stand (we made it ourselves). You can lay them flat but you’d have to be careful to only glaze one side.
Beautiful 👍
Aw thanks ☺️
question: how sturdy would these be do you think if you pulled on them/put some tension on them? and do you know if you can flatten the wire at all?
It’s a good question. I mean - nobody has told me any of the earrings have come apart yet so I suppose that’s a good sign they have take some tension :) If you mean the wire that goes into the clay - you can do whatever you want. I usually make the earrings a bit thicker and put the clay in deeper nowadays so it’s flatter
@@FionaCArt thanks for responding so fast
I’m asking for some ideas I have 👁️ I guess people also use nichrome wire for keychains so it should be pretty solid
@jasperl1531 oh yeah - i imagine it could work for keychains! Return back and comment to let us know how it goes :) I’d love to hear!
May I ask, which kind of wire are you using to the jewelry? I asked in a ceramic shop where I live and she said some would drill a hole and glue it on. But I really like you are just putting it in the clay and then into the kiln?
Thanks for watching :) I use this: amzn.to/46CqLQd
Thanks a lot :) @@FionaCArt
Your jewelry is amazing! HELLO! I wish you well. STAY ENCOURAGED 😊 LIKED 👍 SUBSCRIBED
Thank you for watching and the encouragement :)
Im just starting out with ceramic jewellery after 20 yrs making sterling silver jewellery.
What are the metal wire pieces that you insert into the clay before firing. Where do you buy them from? Thanks,Bev.Jordan New Zealand
Hi Bev! Thanks for watching :) That's amazing you are giving ceramic jewelry a shot after so many years with sterling. I used the following high temp wire so it would survive the kiln: amzn.to/3IsHThh
As a heads up, it does change to a dark color after the firing.
Ive just ordered the wire on Amazon. Thanks so very much for the info. All the best for your shop. Is it online shop or a land based! Bev
No problem :) thank you for the kind words! I have an online shop here: www.fionac.nyc/shop
why Don't you glaze the center of the Bowl underneath? Is this high fired or low fired clay?
My mum tends to throw her bowls flat without a foot so if I were to glaze it then it would stick to the kiln. We use clay that is either cone 6 or cone 10 depending on the brand. Thanks for watching :)
Where do you get the wire for the necklaces? Any links would be appreciated!
This is what we used: amzn.to/44rp47D
@@FionaCArt Thank you!! (:
Dove trovo i ganci per gli orecchini ? In che lega sono fatti per sopportare le alte temperature ?
Thank you for watching! :) I use these hooks:
amzn.to/3RTp7Wu
I really want to make ceramic jewelry but I don’t have access to a kiln. Any recommendations?
Polymer clay can be done in an oven I believe?
@@FionaCArt I was hoping for something more durable 🙈 thanks though! Your work is stunning!
@lisamarieroserobin ahhhh sorry 😬 maybe there’s a local arts council in your area with kiln access?? Sometimes they let you buy firing cards! Regardless thank you for the kind words and for watching ❤️ Wish you lots of luck on your ceramic jewelry journey!!
Hi how are you
Your ceramics are awesome
Thank you so much 😊
You fired all the pieces with the wire ? Where i can find that wire?
So the wire that attaches to the jewelry itself is this: amzn.to/3Qr5dzZ
And the wire that you use to hang it from the chuck is this: amzn.to/3QnfcGQ
Happy firing! :)
@@FionaCArt thanks. I was seeing the temperature of the wire and that wire can’t be at cone 6 right? Just verifying with you. Cause I’m working righty now with cone 6 temperature 1200*C / 2200 F aprox.
@Gleysma It goes up to cone 10. We have used it at cone 7. So it should work.
@@FionaCArt thanks 🙌💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
do you make your mugs and bowls?
Yep :)
not your mum?@@FionaCArt
Oh I thought you meant a collective you haha yes, she throws and I glaze :) we work collaboratively
What kind ceramic clay you use
Porcelain
What kind of clay are you using?
Porcelain!
Do you need a kiln?
For the clay I used, yes.
Very pretty but they look a bit heavy. Do they pull as my pierced ears opening is looking like a long slit now from wearing heavy earrings.
You are a beautiful model. ❤
So far I haven’t had any complaints about the weight of my earrings, but it is definitely something to watch for when creating ceramic ones! Thank you for the kind words and for watching :)
Hey .. What type of clay?
Porcelain
Mam can it be crake? And it should bake or air dry?
We used porcelain and a kiln, so baking and air drying won’t work.
@FionaCArt can I give it steam heat on kitchen stove by putting a pot on stove and cover it bcoz I don't have kiln
@sumaira199 I’ve never tried that so I’m not sure. Maybe try polymer clay if you want to fire in an oven.
@FionaCArt I tried polyer clay on kitchen stove but it crake
@sumaira199 yeah. I’m not familiar with that type of clay, but I know a lot of people do use it.
Are you using a low fire clay?
No. We were using porcelain. We have a kiln at home though.
Would you share what glazes you are using when you glaze and then put a sharp black glaze over it?
Sure! We use amaco, mayco or coyote underglazes for the background colors. Then the black on top is mayco designer liner: amzn.to/3xWWSLC
Aha! Now it makes sense! Thanks!
PS I love how you coordinate with your mom ❤️
Hey what Kind of clay do you use there is it More porcelain, does it have chamotte? Send help 😅😂
For this it was porcelain, but I'm sure you could make earrings with other clays as well. I just wanted my designs to pop off the white of the porcelain :)
Thank you so much! ❤
Np!! Best of luck!
Is that porcelaine ?
Yes :)
What kind of clay did you use ?
Porcelain :)
