Using stencils to mask under glaze and slip painting. Layering under glaze washes. Stencil removing through four layers of slip. A studio garden tour for May.
I have always loved pottery and I’m just learning how to use the wheel. Your videos have helped me tremendously, but even if I had no interest in pottery at all, I would still watch you! So relaxing in such a beautiful place..I feel transported to a more peaceful..thank you!🌺💖
Wow! Vaughan you have a wonderful set-up with your home, green house, gallery, and awesome studio! Many thanks for your videos and opening up about your life as potter! 👍🏼👍🏼
Wow, wow and wow!!!!! You live in such a beautiful part of the world. Absolutely divine, how lucky are. No wonder you have such awesome inspiration for your pottery. Happy potting
Your beautiful Randy’s Red mug arrived safely in Cornwall today. I couldn’t be more pleased. I smile every time I look over at it. Big thank you Vaughan
Señor Smith ,estoy enamorada de su obra y de su casa ,pasó muchas tardes viendo sus vídeos y disfruto mucho con ellos que habilidad tan grande tiene vd ,le admiro mucho vivo en Valencia España ,tiene una obra muy variada , me hace pasar muy buenos ratos ,soy muy mayor y sus vídeos me entretienen mucho. Gracias , gracias
Gracias por disfrutar de los vídeos. Quiero ayudar a otros a evitar mis errores durante los últimos 47 años haciendo vasijas. Espero que tu edad no te impida disfrutar de los hermosos lugares de España. Al igual que el Reino Unido, tienes lugares maravillosos para visitar con una larga historia. Gracias de nuevo.
I'm given to binge watching. I recently watched a video Jackie shared and I commented that I appreciated her straight forward presentation of her technique. No mindless chatter or filler...like Joe Friday, just the facts. You, Vaughan , are every much as appreciated. You talk as you go, never vapid...always informative. Your approach to your art is just as engrossing. You have been an inspiration as well as a wealth of knowledge and technique.
This was like visiting a friend where they show you around their garden and take you in to see what they are working on. I loved visiting my brother-in-law and his wife. They would show the projects completed and houses he remodeled or built. Your garden is all so beautiful, all the different areas you have and your greenhouse. What a view you have. Love to see how you do your stenciling. You put so much detail in your work and have such a creative flair! Thank you again!
Another wonderful video Vaughan. Your pottery and gardening are both inspirations! In addition to a "fish" demo video please consider adding one on your bird houses and feeders. Have a wonderful week! Thanks again from Ann Arbor.
Thank you Katie. I mostly do this technique on commission basis only, I grew away from it. 26c degrees today, too hot for us, the basil plants are loving it.
So glad to see you are still working!!!! What a wonderful view. I did the Atlantic Craft Trade Show in Halifax back in 2009 and discovered how lovely NS is. I would like to visit in June, rather than February, however, and do more exploring. And eat seafood.
The garden is so nice and ofcourse your potterie as well. What a great combination those two. The lamp pots are so so pritty. You said it was spring but i see it can snow still. Here too, spring is every year very fickle. You ever made such a snowy scene as shown in the last picture you put up? Greetz Sheila
Thank you for showing us around your beautiful landscape. How old is your home? I can't imagine living and working in such a stunning place. You're right about pottery and gardening...it just goes together. Your lamps turned out lovely! I like the way you always show your finished pieces.
Another gorgeous pot and your painting!!! I enjoyed your garden tour too! Yes please on a Fish Tutorial! And Yes please on a video of your pottery collection! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
What a beautiful view you have and enjoyed your tour - would not want to skip that! I have wanted to try the stencil technique but I think I will have to make cut outs from colored paper and arrange a screen first to become accustomed to how the layering and overlapping works in my head. Plus starting with something simple will help just to get the feel if how it all merges together. Thank you for the wonderful visit. I hope.your community will be able to open soon for those who can travel to your town - it looks like such a peaceful area.
Thanks not only for the demo Vaughan but also for the tour of the garden. Fingers crossed the weather has turned so you can get your seedlings in the ground. My thoughts are you will possibly invite the bakery over to share some of that rhubarb you have, looks really healthy. Cheers and be well the both of you...Freddie
Thanks Freddie. I spent the last three days planting seedlings, I have to keep up with whatever critter is eating my Pea shoots. We opened the showroom again today, half a dozen sales, not the rush we feared. Our Premier has been asking us to go slowly so I guess we did. It looks like the borders will be opening at the end of July, if covid stays low. I have a really nice video on birds, coming soon to a computer near you. Stay safe.
Such great attention to detail. I wanted to suggest that you take a picture of the pot with the stencils on it before you put the glaze over it so you can know where things are.
HI from Cannon Beach on the Oregon Coast! I love your videos and techniques, but would appreciate if you could turn your sound up higher. I can barely hear you with my IPad at it's highest. Thanks...keep sending videos!!
I will boost the volume on future videos. My old Ipad had poor volume and sound, the new one is way better so it sounded fine to me. When the old Ipad died I was very sad, it lasted 5 years and I thought it should have lasted at least a decade. Then when I got the IPad Pro I was so happy with the improved Microphone and speakers. Thanks for watching.
Wow, this is too wonderful. Do you have a video which takes us from initial spraying and placement of stencils. I'm not sure I understand how all the different colors are applied prior to application of stencils.
Please what kind of clear glaze do you use. Also, if you don't mind, tell me again what is the mixture for the black slip for doing sgraffito ... Thanjk you.
OM4 40%, EPK 20%, silica 400 mesh 20%, fritt 3110 10%, Potash feldspar 10%. The clear glaze is too complicated to remember so email me and I will look for it.
Thanks Vaughn, being a beginner potter, I usually use pre-made underglazes and glazes and have my work fired in a community kiln where I belong as a member at Harmony Hall in Ft. Washington, MD. So maybe the instructor can help me put these recipes together. If you already have a video on making under/glazes, I will search for and learn for myself too. Did I mention, I have my very own Brent wheel😀!
@@smartypantsify The slip is 40% OM4, 20% EPK, 20% silica, 10% Fritt3110, 10% Potash Feldspar. Add mason stains 3-10% as needed. I use commercial under glazes too.
I love your garden tours! Your gentle, good existence in Nova Scotia … oh and your pottery 😄
I have always loved pottery and I’m just learning how to use the wheel. Your videos have helped me tremendously, but even if I had no interest in pottery at all, I would still watch you! So relaxing in such a beautiful place..I feel transported to a more peaceful..thank you!🌺💖
Thanks for the praise. We feel blessed to live in Canada and especially Nova Scotia.
Amazing that the pots are still standing after the high winds!
Wow! Vaughan you have a wonderful set-up with your home, green house, gallery, and awesome studio! Many thanks for your videos and opening up about your life as potter! 👍🏼👍🏼
You are welcome. Being a potter is a lifestyle.
What a treat to be taken on a tour of your beautiful landscape and green house, of your part of the world.
You're a beautiful and unique soul 😊
Thank you.

Thanks for the feedback. I sometimes think I chatter too much. I am glad we can help in the craft of making pottery.
Thank you for another extremely informative video. You sharing of your expertise is not only tremendously generous, it is also an inspiration.
Thanks, I am glad you like it.
I'm so in aw of your talent and love your work.
👋🏽 Nice Bush Garden…! 👍🏽
What a beautiful setting.
Very beautiful! Hopefully someday we will be permitted to visit.
Soon I hope. Thanks for watching.

Thanks Horace. My wife went to U of M. I did the Ann Arbor street fair for years.
what a wonderful and beautiful life you have... wow - you are my new favorite channel
Thank you, I hope you can visit some day.
Really enjoyed the walk around your garden!
Beautiful stencil work as always Vaughan!
Thank you Katie. I mostly do this technique on commission basis only, I grew away from it. 26c degrees today, too hot for us, the basil plants are loving it.
It’s just beautiful. You do such wonderful work. Your place is lovely. Looks so peaceful there.
Thank you.
Your work is lovely 🙂
Oh how the honey bees must love your gardens! So beautiful!!!
I rescued two today, trapped indoors.
So glad to see you are still working!!!! What a wonderful view. I did the Atlantic Craft Trade Show in Halifax back in 2009 and discovered how lovely NS is. I would like to visit in June, rather than February, however, and do more exploring. And eat seafood.
Sounds like a plan.
The garden is so nice and ofcourse your potterie as well. What a great combination those two.
The lamp pots are so so pritty.
You said it was spring but i see it can snow still.
Here too, spring is every year very fickle.
You ever made such a snowy scene as shown in the last picture you put up?

Thoroughly enjoyed the garden tour, likewise the lamp base demonstration 😎
Thanks 👍 I have a few in production, hard to choose which one to publish first.
So beautiful and loved the garden tour also! 😊🙏🏼
Thank you so much.
Thank you for showing us around your beautiful landscape. How old is your home? I can't imagine living and working in such a stunning place. You're right about pottery and gardening...it just goes together. Your lamps turned out lovely! I like the way you always show your finished pieces.
The house is 1906. I am glad you enjoyed the video.
Thank you again for sharing your amazing skills
Thanks again for spending time watching.
Another gorgeous pot and your painting!!!
I enjoyed your garden tour too!
Yes please on a Fish Tutorial!
And
Yes please on a video of your pottery collection!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Ok thanks!
Wow you live in paradise!
We think so. Winter can be an issue, but, only one bad one in 10 years.
So beautiful
Thank you so much
Simply amazing
Thanks
What an beautiful place to live, your pots look great, fabulous artwork on that vase, it reminded me a bit of Lowry. thanks for sharing.
I like Lowry's paintings and I am a Yorkshire lad. No match stick men in mine though.
Very beautiful Vaughan. I love the powdery quality of the underglazes.
Thanks for the comment. Most of the colour is slip/ engobe. I use under glaze for smaller detail painting.

Watch the one I did on layering the stencils, I put a link at the end of this video. Good luck.
Thanks for the great garden tour along with the pottery demo. you live in a beautiful place, someday I hope to visit that area.
We look forward to you making it.
Amazing
Thanks not only for the demo Vaughan but also for the tour of the garden. Fingers crossed the weather has turned so you can get your seedlings in the ground.

Wonderfull! Amazing
Thanks
Such great attention to detail. I wanted to suggest that you take a picture of the pot with the stencils on it before you put the glaze over it so you can know where things are.
I usually count them and I have a system, but for unique one of a kind pieces it would help to take a picture. Thanks.
Lindo mesmo o seu trabalho.👏👏👏

I can’t locate the video that shows you putting on the different images and getting different colors
Go to the end of this video 38.43 time stamp.
Love watching you but i cant hear a thing such a shame.
Sorry I had not figured out how to boost volume back then, the new ones are louder.
