    I really enjoy your content! If you’re still struggling with the firing of the long spoons: you may have tried this, but it seems that you could rest them in a large stilt that allows the top and bottom to show. The interior hole of the stilt would just need to be big enough to put the end of the spoon through (I have square stilts with a 1” opening). Then cookies under the glazed top and bottom.

      Hi Katrina! Sorry for the delay in my response😬 With that said..thank you for your suggestion. I have in fact done just that and had much success. I refied a few and they straightened up beautifully too! With the exception of my last firing where the ends were just a smidge too big to fit inside so I lay them on top of a kiln support, no pock marks but they warped dreadfully. Thank you again, I appreciate you taking the time to connect! Cheers!

      Hi Nat! Thank YOU!!! I've added Spectrum Soft Red to my shopping list! Thanks for the suggestion i agree I think i'll love it... To answer your questions, sometimes I just pop the piece right back into the kiln and refire (no glaze added - the flower cups) other times I'll brush glaze into the holes and refire...My large vase was refired 3 times, this time it came out worse, I didn't add glaze on this fire, but I did add a couple of coats on top of the frothing for the 2nd glaze fire and it leveled out quite a bit, but I doubled-down and lost when I threw it in again...I think the glaze/clay combo just werent compatible. oh well, live and learn right? 🥰

    Hello Sarah. I love your glaze combos and will be trying them next week. Regarding pinholes: outgassing may cause pinholes in the glaze if your bisque was fired to 06 instead of 04. Do you fire your bisque to 06 or 04? Just learned this last week... 😊. Love your channel

    • @SarahWaltonPottery
      @SarahWaltonPottery  Рік тому +1

      Hi Margaret, Thank you so much for your kind words! I actually fire to ^04 for my bisque. In fact some of these pieces I did 2x bisques and went slow to help offgas the clay. Speckled clay is notorious for pinholes that coupled with not getting back to my kiln for the hold 🤪 (to help the glaze 'heal over') contributed to the problem 🥹 I'm sooo pleased to hear you enjoy my channel!! 🥰

    I LOVE the spoon. There are kiln stilts that are made just for firing spoons but they are for smaller spoons. You can maybe look them up and see if they have longer ones? If you’re having problems with your kiln not staying hot long enough you can put kiln posts on there between pots. They hold heat longer than the actual pottery because they are so dense and thick. Just a suggestion. Have you thought of getting just the controller for your kiln?

    Hi Sarah,Thank you for this video...i have a question and i apologize if you have mentioned this before... I, too, have been suffering from pinholes (on all color clays ) and bloating ( on dark clay and some swirling combos of clay). I know that there are many variables ( and $$$) that go into firing!!!
    When you say that you are going to refire the pinhole pieces, are you reglazing or just putting them in another firing ( not reglazed) but on a hotter shelf? ... I greatly appreciate your videos... frustrated with PINHOLES!!!

    • @SarahWaltonPottery
      @SarahWaltonPottery  Рік тому +2

      Hi Carol! Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you, I've undertaken a few projects around the house that's gobbled up my time...There are times when I just put the piece back in the kiln (no glaze added) however this will increase the heat work of the glaze and I find it can sometimes darken or even loose some of it's original colour...(flower cups). There are times when I will add some more glaze, and try to fill in the holes with some glaze and then put it back in for another go...as in the case of the vase that I smash in this video this was its 3rd firing, i added more glaze on it's 2nd fire but didn't add more on this firing. Bloating on darker clay is about the temp, some dark clays will bloat at ^6 and higher. I had two marbled cups (black/white clay) refired, one bloated the other didn't 😵‍💫...There is never a concrete answer with this as I'm sure you can tell by my long winded response 🤪 Also, I don't always put on a hotter shelf, I may put it on a cooler one if I plan on doing a hold...(hope that makes sense)...Thank you so much for your support!!

      I think it's a kiln problem or a 'me' problem 😬 ...or both. My kiln is a 62 yr old manual kiln sitter with on/off switches...not even low/med/hi. So I've been having trouble with the cool down and hold temp which would give the glazes time to heal over...basically I've not been able to get back to the kiln in time to turn it back on, (because I fell asleep 🥺) She's just not been running well. I probably need new elements or a switch may be going or gone so it's taking a long time to get to temp (12-13hrs)...then I'll have a firing run normal (9 hrs)...it's been all over the place..so hard to gauge. I just opened my kiln yesterday and everything came out brilliantly except for 1 mug with 1 very small pinhole. I did make it back in time for the hold...I really need to invest into an upgrade...which will solve the problem...btw I filmed the kiln opening...i just have to edit it😉

    Do you ever make mugs that men would like? Your mugs are big 👍🏻 but the handles are small 👎🏻. Pinks are nice but it’s time to try other colors. I’m tired of seeing pink, pink, pink and more pink. Pin holes seem to be a common problem all around the pottery world. Maybe it’s not you , but the glaze. Maybe the company need to figure out glazes for cone 5 fire rings.
    Sorry about your kiln. But you really should fix it. You’re wasting electricity, burning coils, over and over, and wasting your time not to mention your valuable sleep. Buck up and do it right girl!
