Beautiful! I can’t resist playing around with the rims on bowls, it makes such a difference. Thanks for reminding me, I haven’t thrown for a while but I now feel session of bowl throwing coming on! Thanks for the inspiration x
Thanks Ann! I really like the squared and carved bowl with the light blue celadon…very pretty 😍 😊
Hey Candy! thanks so much!! I was pleased with that too. It is quite photogenic, haha. Have a great day!
The last green one is my favorite! Thanks so much. I often do split lip bowls- I’ll have to try your versions!!
Love these bowls! I am going to try because, why not! I love throwing bowls but need something new. Thank you!
You do SUCH beautiful work!!!❤️
And your video instructions are so clear and easy to understand!
🌟✨✨✨✨✨✨
I ❤️ watching your videos, thank you for sharing with us. 🙏❤️
Beautiful! Just yesterday, I had a piece that I thought "I should try one of Ann's split rims." I chickened out, certain I would ruin it. 😂 Thanks for the great reminder of how it's done! Maybe next time I'll work up the nerve!
Great instructional!!.. I’m going to try taking my split rims to a higher level today!
Such great inspiration! 💜
I AM easily influeneced, and appreciate any addition of sexy. I'll be trying this today!!!! Wish me luck for a fun Saturday evening!
Love me a split rim!!! This is a much nicer way to achieve it than what I usually do. I've always been taught to actually split the rim with a tool, cutting it in half but this way looks much nicer easier to achieve an even result if your not quite centered. Hey Ann, seems like you had mentioned something to make a dipping glaze more crushable but I don't think it was the CMC gum. Any ideas?
Hey V. You are right, there are a lot of ways to do the split rims. I have done it both with tools and with my fingers. It is all about your own preference. As far as making a glaze more brushable....I think you meant brushable, right, and not crushable? I think you are referring to when I used a solution of Epsom salts dissolved in warm water. If I have a glaze that deadpans in the bottom of a bucket, the espom salts will help to flocculate it. Is that what you were thinking about?
@@annruel1982 well I know there is CMC gum used for brushability , would the epsom salts work similarly?
@@annruel1982 ih, I think it was in the video where you were using a brayer to spread the glaze. I’ll go back and look at that one. The cmc gum is just so expensive for my small needs.
@@vzeimen I think the CMC gum and Epsom salts are the only thing I can think of to help with the flocculating of glazes. Usually people use the CMC gum for better brushability and the Epsom salts help the glazes to stay in suspension instead of settling out and dead panning at the bottom of your glaze bucket. I have heard of people experimenting with wallpaper paste but I have not tried that and I dont know if that is any less expensive. I went on the Bailey's Pottery site and saw that a jar of the CMC powder is about $12. Maybe you could check around at other pottery supply companies and compare prices???? Now if you are talking about making underglazes more brushable, I dont use anything else but plain water to get that to the right consistency so it would flow well.
@@annruel1982 Thanks Ann, I did find some lesser quantities of CMC and I'll give that a try. I went back and found the video because it was bugging me. It was the video where you were using a brayer to spread glaze on the gelee sheets and you used an acrylic paint medium to get it to spread more evenly. I purchased several 1 lb packages of dry glaze for use at home but I usually work at a community studio so I didn't want to purchase a ton of the cmc gel. Thanks for your help. It's always fun to learn from you.

Hey Em! I am sure you can do it. ...and if you mess up at first, it is just mud. Try it again. Have confidence!
Split rims are my favorite, thanks for highlighting a fun technique!
Awesome! that is fun isnt it...and leaves you with such pretty results. 🙂
