I have really missed your kiln openings! I prefer the recorded openings the best because you are trying to do your opening and people interrupt your train of thought. It seems to go smoother when you video. I love love your work and your trials and errors! It has helped me immensely!!!💌

Love your musical intros😄I just ordered the other Spectrum glazes too, they are lovely. I like the way you are putting a window in window post of the glaze combo before pic👍Love that dimple mug and the spicy language ones!

Thanks again for all of your encouragement!! Cheers 🥂 …I am going to arrange a wine pottery zoom! 🤭

I absolutely love the purple mugs just as they are at the end! I’m so glad you found a way to fire your spoons so they don’t do this. For the mug that fell over, did you know they make kiln stilts without the pins in them? Those are perfect for using under pits your afraid are going to run. Love this kiln opening. Such amazing pieces!

@@SarahWaltonPottery I do some slipcasting and have several of the stilt molds and since they are just open pour molds they are easy to keep going so I pour them every other day. I just don’t put the stilts in mine. I recently got 2 stilt molds that have super deep cavities so I can pour those as deep as I want!!

Hi Sarah, lovely to see you, I do love both formats but never get to see a live as a live because of the time difference. I love your spoons I keep meaning to have a go at some. I am a water sign too ( Cancer) and love pinks and sea colours. I think the f*** mugs are brilliant and the crack actually accentuates the feeling behind it. Totally love the platter the textures and colours are amazing, shame about the handle but stunning non the less. Looove the Peppered plum flux blossom combo bowl wow😮❤

Hi Julia!! Thank you so much! It must be something to do with the water sign in us...pinks and blues! Just LOVE!!! You are such a talented hand builder and love your videos too, go for the spoons they are a lot of fun....I've been firing them inside a kiln support and that seems to help keep them straight. but I have to keep that in mind when i add the knobs on the end so that they still fit🤪

Thanks for the firing information. I have a manual kiln but I think I can still translate it to switch times to do something similar. Note: It looks like you did not not quite make it to Cone 6 (per Orton's chart). You were just short of it. Also, per Orton's chart, Cone 6 target is 2165F when final rate (last 200F) is 27F/hr so I think that matches perfectly with a 2172 finish since your final rate was 120F/hr.

@SarahWaltonPottery 2 ай бұрын

Thanks for this! Cone reading seems to have so many interpretations...I had recently watched a video that I linked in the description from Orton which turned my view and understanding upside down, Id love your opinion. I've always had to rely on cone reading with my manual kiln, now I use it more for verification. Anyhoo, in the video they were saying that once the cone deforms at any degree it has successfully reached the target and that only nominal (a degree or two in temp) results between the bend degrees. Check it out, I'd love to hear from you what you think, you always have such valuable information and insight!

@connecticutaggie 2 ай бұрын

Thanks@@SarahWaltonPottery. Great video (both yours and Orton's). I think the distinction is whether "Cone 6" is a point or a region. His view (which makes practical sense) is that "Cone 6" is a region the cone bend you saw indicates you are in that region. Other documentation from Orton (including the Cone Template he mentioned) say that the target Cone (the point) is reached when the tip of the cone is level with the notch where the base of the cone meets the indicator portion of the cone. Note also that the temperature target for where that happens depends on the final rate of your firing. For Cone 6 and a very slow final rate (27F/hr) is 2165F. That is very close to what your Kiln temperature probe saw.

@SarahWaltonPottery 2 ай бұрын

@@connecticutaggie Makes total sense…Thank you! I used to read my cone like this before I saw the video, but your right, he did show the graph and explained, like you, about speed of rise in temp. Thanks again!! 🥂

Since filming this video, back in Jan, I started using a kiln post and putting the entire spoon inside, but my most recent kiln opeing..still to be edited... the end of the spoon was too big to fit so I went back to using stilts only to have a ton of warping. WHY didn't I think of your suggestion before! duh! 🤪 I love you guys so much, you have the BEST suggestions!!! THAND YOU!!! 🥰

Thank you for your video. I have still not fired in my new kiln (which is also my first) kiln and am afraid of getting glaze drips. When you glaze your pieces so close to the bottom I'm surprised that more of the glaze doesn't go onto the shelf. Do you just use kiln wash on your shelves or is the pottery sitting on cookies?
