Very happy you enjoyed it!

Gorgeous! Loved the video of the process.

Thanks for the kind comments

Thanks so much, means a lot to know you enjoyed it 😁

Thanks, it is so nice to get comments like that

Nice! Glad the video is inspiring you to try another hobby

This technique is many hundreds of years old actually, all of it. She's just using more modern equipment. I totally agree with you though. Go get em!

The moment when Abi pulled the piece out of the fire was very exciting for me too

I'm sure she would be happy to hear that!

She is rather good at it isn't she?

Thanks so much! Feel like you really got into the spirit of these videos.

It's more feeling rather than thinking. If I think too much it all goes wrong!! I listen to an audiobook to stop the monkey brain interfering!

Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed it

Its fun watching someone making things, glad you enjoyed it.

Very happy you enjoyed it, make sure to check out the other videos! And there's also the extended versions of you really want to sink in and enjoy the experience...

@@theslowbuild I'm planning on a deep dive today!! Thank you again.

Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it

Gotta admit my heart was in my throat for a second there while filming...

Yup, it popped off alright!

Ha Ha, yes, it was quite firm by then though.

Thanks a lot! I hope you enjoy our other videos

Thanks!

Thanks so much!

Thanks a lot, glad you enjoyed

Thank you, glad you liked it.

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed

I love that bit too, such a great sound

Thanks very much!

Tis a beauty

Sometimes that mysterious algorithm just works some magic 😁 glad you enjoyed it

@@theslowbuild about six months ago the algorithm brought me to Polynesian/Hawaiian synchronized dancing… And yeah I’m watching that now too. Lol it’s freaky how the algorithm works.😂

I am glad you were brought to the video and glad you liked the Moon Jar.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks very much 👍

Thanks loads! Glad you enjoyed

Hi, yes copper wash is the same as copper mat. Raku fired and reduced in reduction bin. Glad you liked the video, Alex did a great job.

It's not one of Cooper's glazes. Its a wash of Copper carbonate or carborate possibly oxide.

Sorry, it's just a typo, i was thinking copper wash and copper mat.

@@lemoineelisabeth990 Ah, I misunderstood. 😉

Thanks so much! Make sure to check out our other vids if you get a moment 😁

😁👍

Merci beaucoup

👍👍👍👍👍

I'm not sure why exactly, will see if Abi has a chance to respond. Hope you enjoyed the video

I agree, but the traditional way to throw a Moon Jar (a Korean storage jar) is to throw it in two parts and join them. I like to bring tradition into my pots, to honer the potters of the past and to feel the connection of past and present in the craft. The Korean potters were clever realising it is much less taxing using two smaller pieces of clay enabling them to scale up to make a much bigger forms if they wanted to. There is so much to learn from the historical traditions, its such a fascinating craft.

About 8 minuets, then opened to lid and closed it again, then left it until it had cooled down.

Hmm good question, I'll have to ask Abi!

I'm not sure to be honest - one for the potters out there . . .

What region? what culture? what time period? what senseless musing.

@@theslowbuild In the Uk, 50/50 in Africa, mostly woman, in Japan mostly men, so culture is a thing

I recently took a ceramics course at a large university in the Midwest US, and there were only about 3 or 4 men in a class of about 25 students, if that’s any indication of sex-based interest level in this part of the world.

It is some great property

@@theslowbuild could i live there n get drunk weekly?? And apprentice under you?

@@theslowbuild is a pub close by?😀🍸🍷🍷🍹🍹🍹🍹🐒🐒

Ah John... This channel is not intended to be for instructional videos though if there is enough demand I may look into it in the future. It's more an experiential type vibe. That said, I believe the second firing with the copper wash went to 1000°C. Don't know what was in the copper wash though Abi may be able to answer...

@@theslowbuild don't give him your secrets 😂

@@emb7854 lips are 🤐

Well, watching a potter throw is such a useful thing to do when you are starting out. The hand coordination and positions. Watching when the hands move up the pot and noticing how the hands and the rotation coordinate. Pottery is all about deep a deep connection of coordination between the hand and eye which can not be over looked or hurried and watching an experienced hand is such a good way of learning. The glazing and firing comes after a good pot is thrown.

And I should have said, to answer your question better really, the video is about the just watching someone make something with no attachment to it or for any learning reason, just for the pleasure of watching. I hope that helps.
