Anne you are so awesome, I feel like my brain is going to bust. My horizon is so broadened, I don't know where to start...Thank you so, so, so, much!! Thanks for reminding me to like...I get so engrossed that I sometimes forget to click, but I love all your videos!
Really cool experiments. I'm partial to the last one. Loving your videos. Stumbled upon your channel today. So entertaining and educational at the same time. 3 year novice potter here, and I love finding new channels and artists to follow since I'm mostly a self-directed potter. Really appreciate artists who share their knowledge with everyone.
Darwin's Choice definitely my favorite. I think the final product has a lot to do with how much time the piece spins on the wheel while you throw it. The longer it takes, the closer the colors get and you have a more "striped" piece. Thanks for posting a great and informative video.
I LOVE how you show such detailed, instructional videos and also when you show the finished product! So many videos online are good but they don't show the end product and it's terribly disappointing! Thank you tons!
#2 Slice & Stack: looks like a cow's pettern without being too obvious and literal. #6 Once again Darwin was right! Looks more marbled that the others to me. This was súper fun, I'd love to see one for creating marble effect in hand building.
When stacking, it also makes a difference on how the layers are oriented when you put the ball of clay on the wheelhead....horizontal (like you did) vertical, or my favorite - 45 deg.
The colored clay carousel can be done as a laminate swirl -- cut a channel to push the colored clay "worms" into, which makes them an integrated part of the clay mound when you are throwing. The swirl becomes imbedded into the agateware and less susceptible to being trimmed away.
Ann--- I use mason stains (MS) for flowers and leaves. I fight with all the greens. Often my beautiful mint green becomes ugly brown once clear glaze is applied. I've tried Amaco clear, zinc free and finally matte clear to maintain the green color. No luck. I mix my MS with b-mix to the desired color value and fire at cone 5. I've checked all of kilns and they're fine. Any guesses or suggestions?
Awesome! Darwin's choice is my favourite 😂 followed by carousel 🎠 wondering why you didn't cone up and down 🤔 is it because the colors would get disintegrated by doing so?
hi Nikki. If the clay is soft enough to center, I usually dont cone up and down. I just push down and in on it to center. It may have made a difference in the outcome....that could be a whole other video, haha.

Thanks Denise! Glad you are enjoying it!
I love, love, love this technique!
That Darwin’s choice was the nicest one.
These look neat and the presentation is great for folk who want to mess about in their creations.
Thanks for sharing.
Hi Freddie! Thanks so much. That means a lot!

Im sure you are right. There are a lot of factors that influence the final result, right. Thanks for watching!!!

Thank you for your excellent tutorial.
Loved this experiment!! Thank you so much for sharing!
You can also twist coils of light and dark clay for yet another neat marbled effect!
I like that. thanks. Im think I could make a whole other video with more ways to stack, right.
Loved 6 ❤
OMG!!! SO COOL AND CRAZY. Love it! Hope I could get some pigments soon to experiment this 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 thanks for sharing!!!
I like this very much
So pretty ❤

Love the slab and stripe and the carousel they are just so organic and the Darwin’s choice is gorgeous

Great tip Eric. Thanks so much!

Excellent idea Catherine. Thanks for that!

The two clays have to be the same body type right. If it has grog then the other has to have grog???
Yes, its best if the clays are all the same! Thanks. (for shrinkage and firing results)
@@LittleStreetPottery thank you
Very beautuful

hi Nikki. If the clay is soft enough to center, I usually dont cone up and down. I just push down and in on it to center. It may have made a difference in the outcome....that could be a whole other video, haha.
This can also be done by simply pounding the clay together properly!
Thanks Kathleen. There are many more ways ....enough for a part 2, right.
Hi !
my favorite's Darwin's choice. Kisses from Cahors France
Merci! Thanks for watching!
Have you coloured the clays yourself, or are they mixed clays? I assume they must all have the same firing range, if so? The pots are delightful.
All are porcelain clay Standard English #365 fired to cone 5. Yes we colored the clay.
Darwins choice all the way
