Randy Brodnax was my Art teacher when I was in High School in Dallas. I still have the 2 Raku pots he helped me create. It was good to him again and I'm glad he still has the love pottery and of teaching! God bless you Mr. Brodnax. H. G. Spruce Apaches '78.
Thanks for the video. Very helpful and it worked well. Three coats/pours gave some nice patterns. Thickness of slip is key - pancake batter is good description.
Is there a specific gravity for the slip that works all the time. Seems this would make it simple to keep up with when the slip is correct. Also, have you used the slip in different stages of thickness to get different effects? Impressive.
Where does his class happen at I've tried to find a local person here but no one seems to teach pottery here there is a local studio but dont do classes anymore it's really put setting to me
Hola! Excelente demostración.Yo en mi alfarería utilizo un densímetro casero.A una funda de aluminio de los puros(cigarros de fumar),en el interior le pongo (bolitas de plomo) y un trozo de algodón,el cual presionó contra las bolitas de plomo.En la funda marco unas señales ,que marcan la densidad de mis esmaltes y los engobes.
I think the recipe for the slip is incorrect, or, at least there is a newer version. Someone gave me this recipe from a workshop with either Don or Randy and it has the addition of alumina hydrate: 500G HAWTHORNE BOND FIRE CLAY 300G EPK 200G SILICA 60G ALUMINA HYDRATE After several attempts, I’ll be adding the alumina hydrate to my next!
Great video but it's missing an ingredient from Don's recipe. Add 100 g Alumina (increase if slip falls off). So Don's slip is 5 Hawthorne, 3 EPK, 2 Silica and 1 to 1.5 Alumina. The Riggs's recipe leaves out the silica and uses 2 parts Alumina.
what are you doing to hydrometers to break them? millions of people use them everyday for many reasons, many of which are in the food industry, yet, i never hear them complain about breaking them nor having to buy them more then once. seems you might want to look at yourself and what you are doing to break them.
They don't give great results for glazes and slips, you are better off weighing to get the SG... it takes but a moment to suck up 100mls and weigh it on a digital scales...

I LOVE these guys!!
Hi Thank you for the tutorial. Could you please give me some help, I'm trying to figure out what does 300 EPK goes for.

Great video!!
What happens with the slip on the bottom if you don't get it all out? Why do you have to wet the pot?
The Briggs don't wet the pieces.

Are you firing with an electric kiln? Someone mentioned a raku kiln.
רכשתי את שעורי הראקו ראיתי חלק קטן מהשעור והוא נעלם לי אחרי שסגרתי את הטלפון ,ועכשיו מה לשלם עוד פעם?
At the end is he really setting hot pots next to a fire cabinet?
Why not? What could go wrong?🤣
cool tong trick...
and do you teach how to use ele .kilns ? i am confused on how the timer and setter work and i am unsure of firing stages! thanks guy.s

how long do you leave the pot in the can?

Well, that was disappointing! Didn't show how each of them looked finished and cooled!!
