- This kiln unloading sees the last three orb Table lamp. It came out the best yet.
Hope you enjoy my work and thanks for watching.
thank you for taking the time and energy to make another vid. We love seeing your work. and hearing your thought process.
Well Lois once again you hit it out of the park!
So glad to see that you are back. You are such an inspiration.
Thankyou
I appreciate your glaze descriptions and videos.
Love the detail you give about glazes. Another great video.
Thanks so much Lois. I love watching your videos but I was very sensitive to the strobing. I thought I'd just have a sneaky peak and quit watching before I started to feel sick, but guess what, no issues. How lovely to be able to watch you again.
Nice to have to back. !!
24:51 Yes, I love what you do. I really enjoy these unkilning videos. The colours are so beautiful. Intentional or not, they are look great.
Love you work. Thank you😇💓
Love your glaze combos. Beautiful!
Oh, what a shame, darn it, you have to keep that lovely red lamp 😉. It is stunning to look at. I love the way the sodium silicate bowl came out, those I find to be hard to have smooth. Your kiln load this time is a happy one, yay.
How exciting for you, a new baby in the family
Thankyou.
I discovered your videos and I'm hooked! Absolutely thrilling to watch, and so very helpful to see exactly how you do the glazes. The kiln opening is a treasure too, seeing how the pieces turn out. I've learned sooo much from you, thank you! I've been working in clay since 97 off and on, and I'm "really" a quilt fabric designer for P & B Textiles and watercolor artist 40+ years- but I cannot resist the wheel. You are BRILLIANT!
That is quite a recommendation from someone that is a professional artist. I presume you design the patterns on the quilt covers. Thankyou.
@@LoisHook Yes, I do! I have10 fabric design collections out now but I'm about ready to quit that, I'm 77 - time to have fun! I adore your work!
Love the lamps, you’ve inspired me to make one !
Amaco should sponsor you! I make my own glazes, but you make me want to order Amaco glazes!
Thanks. Maybe I should prompt them. Don’t think I’ve enough followers yet !!
Love your videos. Refire your Vintage Gold for great results! I always have to fire it twice!!
Thanks for this. I have a pot lying about I will do that next week.
Hi Lois. Love your kiln openings with the very detailed descriptions of your glazing techniques. And your pottery is so beautiful! Thanks for sharing. I often find it difficult choosing glazes for pieces, simply because there are so many to choose from! Here's some food for thought on glazes for your lamp with the geometric design; saturation gold in the lines would look great, as long as it doesn't run. Then fill up the other spaces individually with color & textures...which also won't run. Like maybe dark magma, a stable glossy red, cosmic tea dust, satin matte white or other color, maybe some a bright celadon for a pop of color? I know you'll find something that will be stunning, cause that's what your good at!
Cheers! Glad to see you back!
I’ve been thinking it over and over. Trouble is colours like red that would look good in the grooves would run.
I am a lover of textures. !!
Problem for me is the top part the biggest part. What colour ??
@@LoisHook I'm sure you'll come up with something good! And please do share when you've finished it. I would love to see what you settled on. Another thought I had was using celadons to mimic a stained-glass look. And use a satin matte black in the lines. Thanks for your videos. I really enjoy them!
I think you should do colours and style for your drum shape lamp base. Like Mondrian, yellow red, black etc.
I reckon that that beautiful round flat lamp should be glazed in reds
That’s what I’m fighting. Need to make a decision.
I think that round lamp at the end would look fabulous with your different metallic glazes, each one in a section.
Yes I have been thinking that.
Thank you Lois, I love watching your kiln unloading. Grateful you share your glaze combinations. Give me ideas to try on my own pots. Beautiful work!!!
Would love to see a video on how you did the crackle. Also, would love to see the lamps complete with shades. Love your videos.
Love love your lamps! They are wonderful. I am going to experiment with the copper wire. I really appreciate you sharing all your tricks. You have taught me so many different techniques! Thank you
Absolutely love your lamps! Makes me want to try making some for my bedside tables!
When I got my wheel it came with a Gyubera (cow) Tongue rib it's a Japanese tool. I find using that rib inside of a pot helps to round and close the form. I use the short one. I hope that helps. Congratulations on your new grand baby.
These are beautiful pieces. I always enjoy your kiln openings. ☺ 23:38 for some reason I see that piece with terra color red in the lines and obsidian over the rest. It's a simple glaze combo but I think it would really show off your work. That is going to be a wonderful piece. I look forward to seeing it completed.
Thankyou for the suggestion.
Love your kiln openings. Glad you are back at it. I would love to see one of your lamps finished with the shade on it.
Your work is so inspiring and your videos are so informative.
I love the sodium silicate with the black slip, the smooth texture looks great! My suggestion for the round piece is to look at some Rothko pantings for inspiration.
Beautiful work again❤
Hi, I am new to pottery again. And I am trying to get a head start and watch videos before i join a studio in San Diego.
I love your almost scientific artsy way that you do glazes.
I had a thought.
That last circular piece looks so awesome that i think if you get too fancy with the glazing, it will take away from the piece itself.
When you do a portrait, the person is the focal point, but if you make the awesome cityscape just as prominent as the subject, then it's kind of too much and the person is not so special. The whole painting doesn't pop.
If it was just a circular piece and nothing else, then showing how the glazes meld together in your special way would be awesome. The glaze and technique would be the feature.
Just my opinion.
Saying all this, I thank you for being an awesome teacher to us beginners.
God bless,
✌🏼🦁
Edited:
Maybe glaze it like a awesome garment.
Solid colors a hint of pattern or just solid color blocking.
The trick to being simple blocking is that everything else needs to be technically perfect.
Thanx again for teaching us. I hope next week i can start throwing cylinders and start learning again.😊
Hi Lois, great work as usual; the lamp is amazing! May you share the brand of copper wire and the lamp kit you use. Thanks
So I used so wire maybe .75 gage I bought a few meters from Amazon
The lamp kit is more difficult here in the uk

Thank you 🥰
Love your work, would really like to do a course with you - do you run any? 😃
Thanks for the question. I’m a hobbyist and as such haven’t though of teaching. I make it up as I go along. Are you in the UK. I’m just about to move house and would have more room in the future maybe it’s something to think about ??
Hi Lois, thank you for the great videos the glazing info is excellent and really helpful! Just wanted to ask which skutt you have? I'm currently comparing kilns suitable for at home.
Mine is the KMT 1018. www.cromartiehobbycraft.co.uk/Catalogue/Ceramic-Kilns-Electric-Kilns-Pottery-Kilns/Top-Loading-Electric-Ceramic-Kilns-Pottery-Kilns/KM-Electric-Kilns-with-Touchscreen-Controller-Upgrade/KMT1018-Electric-Kiln-Touchscreen-Controller-KMT1018#.YvnrCBbTW_Y
So 10 sides with 18 inches of height. The KMT means it has the screen with firing presets. I have used that all the way through. With no firing issues. On a cone 6 it fires a hot cone 6 but the glazes have given great results.
@@LoisHook amazing thank you will take a look at this one too
Love your videos and find them to be sooo inspirational!! Not sure if I missed it but what is the color of the glaze on the inside of the bowl at 18.34 ? normal red? on your video?
That is the same as the red used in the lamp. But just the medium red (not the orange or darker red)
Uk Scarva Terra colour.
@@LoisHook Thank you for getting back to me. Cannot get those glazes in the United States. Unfortunately.
It does make me wonder about getting an account so to see about cost to ship.
Can you share what the copper wire piece looks like when you adhered it to your lamp piece? Also, in that piece, did you make 3 separate round bowls and attach them or was it so one piece on the wheel?
The lamp is three bowls joined together. The copper wire is I bought some from Amazon 0.6 thick and cut of 2/3mm and placed on the price using some clear glaze to stick it in place.
@@LoisHook
When can we expect to see the video of you making the 3 bowls for the lamp?
I have that footage I’m sure in my video library. Need to have a look.
Do you regular size hike you use for the wiring and lamp hardware?
13/15mm hole before firing. With the kit I use you need 10mm for the screw part of the lamp to go through.
