- In this pottery video, I showcase a kiln opening with handmade pots, crafted from stoneware, have undergone firing at cone 8 (±1240°C). Whether white, black, or red sandstone, mixed or not, these ceramics are a testament to pottery craftsmanship. I'm using home recipe glazes. I share insights into pottery firing techniques, including tips for firing XL pots and firing large pottery. I unload the kiln, revealing the outcome of this intense firing process. From pottery success to the occasional pottery failure, each kiln opening brings its own suspense and drama. I'll show you why your pottery warps, explain how to prevent ceramics from breaking during firing, and delve into why large pots twist or crack during the firing process. With simple tips, you can prevent your pottery from warping.

Fantastic as always!
J'attendais la sortie du four avec impatience
Je fais beaucoup de sorti de four (1 à 2 par semaine en moyenne), mais je filme rarement.
En fait mon gros problème, c'est que le four est froid le matin, et le matin je suis un gros ours bougon. Du coup quand je l'ouvre je ne suis pas d'humeur à filmer 😅.
Exceptionnellement pour ce four-là, j'avais décalé la cuisson et elle s'est terminé l'après-midi !
Very nice pots!!! And very interesting trick that to not allow colapse them
Hello, Thanks for the tips with warping on large pots. I was already wondering how professional potters deal with this problem. My pottery store advised me to do something similar. For large pots, simply add additional feet of the same height (without decoration) for the middle of the pot. However, do not attach these with slip. Only when they and the pot are dry, attach them with UHU glue. The glue burns during firing, the feet come off without leaving any residue but support the pot. I tested this on my last 2 large pots and it worked great. Greatings DB
You are funny, " I forgot the pots" and then when you didn't recognize the glaze I chuckled. Amazing pots
Thanks. Yes indeed, I rarely publish kiln openings (the last one was more than 6 months ago), but my kiln works almost all the time. As this is something common, it often happens that I don't remember what I'm putting in the kiln! At least I still have a few surprises like that!
Plus, I like to have a choice when I fill the oven, so I always have the equivalent of 2 or 3 kiln already glazed and ready to fire. Which adds even more surprises, I have time to forget what enamel I put on a pot!
@Greg-ceramics you do so much you forget, i enjoy the kiln opening videos of yours
Magnifique travail artistique, j'adore...Bravo à toi
wow stunning work well done
Increíble ❤❤❤

Pas facile de faire d'aussi jolis pots avec des pattes d'ours 😉😉😀😀 Magnifiques!

toda estan hermosas
Great, what a great job! Very very nice results. I find glazing exciting as well as being a craft. Can you tell us something about that too? How do you glaze and what is used? Your experiences and tips are amazing.
Thanks. I am preparing a video on glazing. It will mainly be a video on MY way of glazing, because there are as many ways of doing it as there are potters.
Your the best sir
Incroyable!!
Great pots and glazes! dobe509 mentioned using feet attached with glue to support the middle of the pot. It seems difficult to calculate the exact height one will need in the bisque stage. What happens if the supports are a little too low when firing? Will the bottom be uneven?
Thanks. If the stand is the wrong size, the bottom may curl, or the pot may be twisted. It is best to avoid using this type of technique. I have already shown this in other videos, but if it is really necessary, I prefer to use a refractory plate under the pot to support it entirely. With the good clay, the good firing curve, and good construction, in 99% of cases this is not necessary.
You can also use a small pile of sand in the center of the pot, the sand moves and can adapt as you fire.
What brand and size is your kiln?
