Thank you for taking all the time to produce this video - I'm sure it was a lot. I love your results and would agree with your top picks but all of them are beautiful. I also love the bowl form. Our potters guild is having a fund raiser and we need to make 500 bowls - 100% of the proceed is donated to various causes. I usually make heart shaped bowls for donation but think I'd like to make ones based on your facet bowls. I've never been really successful with faceting bowls but I'm motivated after seeing how beautiful yours are to become proficient at making them. They show the glaze so nicely, the form in interesting and stack well. I'm going to check your list of videos to see if you've featured throwing these and if you don't have one - I might not be the only one interested in seeing your process 😉. Again thank you for all your videos - such a wealth of information you have shared.

Almost ironically, water is perhaps the most overlooked basic material when it comes to ceramics in general. Chemistry teaches you to use the most pure form out of principal for purity's sake, but on the scale of bulk materials, it's not always fiscally reasonable. On the flip side, I've gone out of my way to use distilled water trying to maintain certain ph's and limit variable chemical interaction, but some clays just want tap water or even scumish bucket water that ran off the roof at one time. I'm not geographically near salt water to try it other than adding it afterwards, but I'm rather curious if using sea water has an appreciable strength quotient/difference vs fresh water sources.

Unlike many countries we have very good clean tap water from the underground. We do not filter it or add any chemicals so it works well for me

Mikkel, thanks so much for your incredibly well made videos. I just discovered your channel this morning and have watched two already. I work in a tiny cone 6 hobby studio in upstate NY with 3 others. We are not making functional work and only one person sells. We have made our own glazes but our floating blue has been a dismal failure. Is there a place where you share this recipe? Also, thanks for the amazing tip on sucking up the glaze into the inside (!)

Thanks a lot :-) The Floating Blue variant I most often use is close to what OldForge is doing where Menganese is used instead of RIO: glazy.org/recipes/77013 Also remember, that Floating Blue require a VERY thick layer to work well and do not work well on all clay types

Hello .how do i make tamico gold.next week i starting making glazes with my teatcher and i would like to do the tamico gold.is it glaze you buy ready? Or you have your own recept?do you spend your knowledge for this glaze or it s a secret?

The Temmoku Gold I use I mixed myself based on a recipe from John Britt's book about mid-fire glazes. But you can also find it here: glazy.org/recipes/18336 Good luck. Its a great glaze. Especially, I think, on dark clay. The thicker the application the more fold/yellow. Thinner areas and where it breaks over edges it will be black.

Hi Mikkel. Great experiment! The last set of colours came out very lovely-Like poppies! The first set of blues are very cool! Definitely will try the combination of glaze! 1 question, is there any particular sequence of layering the glazes; Tenmoku over Floating blue or Folk Art over/below Floating blue (example)? Or the more fluid glaze over/under the less runny glaze? Appreciate your kindness if you can clear my curiosity mind. :-) Many thanks!

Thanks a lot Very often - but not always,, the results is very different depending on the order your layer the glazes in. I haven't found any global logic to this (although there may be), so my best advise is to test it. Also keep in mind that the type and color of clay also plays a huge role.

Thank you for the nice video! Love the bowels! I just started potty and really enjoyed it and would love to make career out of it. But recently I saw lots of KZitem videos showing the profitability of their small pottery business. It is like tepid sales every month, which intimidated me from making pottery a career. So I wondered if you could please share how your journey as pottery business owner and what are the channels you usually sell your pieces, that would be very helpful and informative. Thanks a lot! 👍

@@deMibPottery mange tak for det hurtige svar og dine fantastiske videoer. Det måtte jeg jo erfare da jeg havde ledt nettet tyndt og kun havde fundet opskrifter. Jeg er amatør og har lige købt en ovn som kommer i næste uge, så starter eventyret med glasering. Men jeg ved ikke om jeg tør at kaste mig ud i at blande selv, eller om der er for meget at sætte sig ind i nu hvor man lige er startet, er det ikke dyrt at købe alle de nødvendige ingr. Hvor køber man dem, og kan det betale sig. Der findes mange flotte, men også dyre færdigblandede på markedet.

Det koster lidt at komme igang, men man kan f.eks. starte med den serie af glasuropskfter som OldForge har lavet, netop for ikke at skulle købe så meget til at starte med: www.oldforgecreations.co.uk/blog/first-five-ingredients-where-to-start-with-glaze-making Jeg køber lidt i Danmark - mest hos Silica, men mest i Hos Scarva i Irland og BSZ og Carl Jäger i Tyskland.
