Your thrown mug is exquisite. Keep propelling yourself to sit at the wheel.

Thank you for sharing! ❤

First time watcher! Thank you for sharing❤

Love your mugs and your adventurous use of glazes! But I love your smile best!! Keep at it. Thanks.

Hello, I so appreciate the time and effort you put into your videos. Thanks for sharing.. For platters or plates :I do not glaze the bottom and fire them in a 1/4 inch of silica sand. I make sure my clay has been compressed in making. It is good to know we all have mishaps. Looking forward to the next video

My best lessons have been my mistakes. Keep at it. I always put “cookies” under my mugs that are thick and smaller than the mug bottom. The drips will not reach under it to melt into the cookie…then you can always grind the drip away from your mug. Hope I made sense!

Could really do without thelanguage. It’s not ok to say f#€% . I subscribed but will unsubscribe if I hear it again

I like your detail mugs! Very original! The drippy lavender cup is lovely, too. So nice of you to share your pottery-making with friends and family.

Buongiorno Suza! Bel canale, vi sono approdata da poco...❤ Per cortesia potresti dirmi la marca del tuo forno a pozzetto? Grazie dovrò comprarne uno e cerco consigli!!!❤❤❤

I test all my mugs after firing by putting hot water in them. If the clay isn't fired to the required temperature to vitrify it, it will weep and you will get moisture under the mug. All clays have a certain temp for vitrification so you have to look at that when you buy it. Also, for dinnerware I look for clay that has an absorbtion rate <2%. A lot of clays will absorb water up to 20%. I accidently bought cone 9 clay when my studio only fire to cone 6. All my mugs were weeping it really sucked. I didn't have any cone 9 glazes nor a place to fire that hot. Now I am very careful about what clay I buy. Nice pieces!

Lovely work.

I love the mugs you painted on. The glazes are perfect even though they aren't bright. The colors and hues all work well together. I love the white one that you refired with peacock inside. I think it looks great.

You are really getting so good !!!

:) pot at 4:01 ran... but didn't mess your shelf. 👍🏻 Mug at 5:10 looks good, It could find a nice home. Love your little plates! Any time you use flux you can expect movement like on your pink mug, I still love the glazes you put together.

Thank you for sharing!

Lovely green big cup. And practice makes perfect

interesting work, i like it. Cheer

aaawwww...that baking dish would have been SO LOVELY! I love the colors, but so sorry it warped so badly in the kiln! New to your channel and just subscribed! hoping to see more of your kiln openings! You have a friend here in New Jersey, USA....just keep potting, do not give up!

Hi from Oregon, USA. I enjoyed your video. How old is your son? I’m teaching one of my grandsons. My hand built mugs don’t come out round, either, because the clay has a memory. I hope you’re having a wonderful time on your trip! Which part of the US are you visiting?

I love the pink and supernova combination

Hi Suza, I consider myself new at pottery too ( 3+ years now). I know how you feel when things come out of the kiln wrong. There is SO MUCH to learn. I have started to read the labels of the glazes to try and figure if they run or not. That help me a little... but now I and trying to write down what my experience have been with the different glazes. Even though I do not like an unglazed line on the bottom. I have been leaving (about half centimeter) clear at the bottom. Applying wax resist before ( on the area you want to keep clear) helps to keep it clear from glaze and helps keeping the glaze from running too. I love the work you are doing, you are very creative.

I love the mug and the spoon SCULTURE !! I think that if I would have tried it on purpose ... it wouldn't have come out this good.

WOAHHHH!!!

The wheel is really hard for me too but I’m going to buy a small one when our weather cools off. I love the bowls you made.

Yay! Fun glazes!

Put square dish straight on kiln shelf, not glazed bottom, and use something so the clay can move a bit. Dont use stilta.

Not all of them but some 🙏🏻

Are these all the mugs/cups you have made??

I want this one tooo pls !!!!😍😍😍😍

Can i buy this mug? how much? 😍

Everything very nice😅

You can use the rainbow bowl for a bird Bath.

Greetings from Mississippi, USA! I just subscribed to your channel. I love your enthusiasm and love for pottery. I have only been doing pottery for about 2 years and I absolutely love it! I always use wax resist on the bottom of my mugs. It helps keep the glaze off the bottom. Thanks for sharing your lovely creations!😊

Einfach so cool

professional weightdropping? 😂

Hey! So glad to see you again. I’m so sorry the baking dish warped so much. Please remember that clay has memory. So if you bend it and flatten it out again it will remember the way you bent it and it will bend back that way. Also when you dry handbuilt pieces that are flat you need to put weights on the flat part until it’s completely dry. You can fill socks with kitty litter or sand and use them as weights. I love your pieces you’re doing great with all the glaze combinations. And yes when using kiln stilts it will make the clay sag in the areas where it’s not supported. The leaking is as people have said. Be sure to use witness cones on each shelf if you can to make sure the kiln is getting hot enough. Also be very very careful refiring pots that have had liquid in them and leaked like that because the clay is now wet and could explode. Make sure you let pieces like that dry reallllly well before firing again. For the mugs that you want the lettering on maybe you could put the writing on a round piece of clay and put the writing on it then apply that to the side of the mug. Then it will be raised and you don’t have to put any glaze on it just the mug and it won’t run? If you have any questions please let me know and I’ll try and help explain better. Loving the mugs. Even if they aren’t round. They are hand made. I love how you put the glaze combos on the screen! It’s so helpful to take a screen shot. Great kiln load!!

I agree on drimel tool will get those taken off. I’m going to fire my spoons laying down. I’ve never had luck with the wire and heavier things.

What a great little mug tutorial. Which online shop did you buy the template/cutter? I need one of these. Happy potting

Your glaze technique is really great, glazing is (to me) the hardest thing to learn. The mug that leaked coffee, the inside of the mug looked like it had texture, not very smooth glass like finish. This could be because not fired at full temp or the glaze may not be completely compatible with the clay? Either way it could harbor bacteria in the texture so may not be 100% food safe. Also, the mug not being completely round, could that be the metal kiln stands? Or, some clay has a deep memory, like porcelain, so if it was out of round while drying it could revert to that shape during firing even if you fixed it before completely dry/bisque. Hope that made sense. You are doing really good, your pieces are so gorgeous .

Your mugs are absolutely wonderful! I think the runs are really pretty.!

Great unload Suza! With your cup that is leaking the problem is that your clay isn’t vitrified. Liquid will leak through glaze if clay has not been fired to a high enough temperature. My favourite piece is that nimbus mug even though it ran. I’ve got to give nimbus another try 😊

Oh no your large dish so bright and beautiful. What a shame that it bent out of shape, the colours look fantastic. I hope you enjoy your holidays. How lucky that you can get some coyote glazes. Look forward to seeing what you get. That last mug you were holding turned out fantastic. I love the colour of it. Take care

4:31 I actually really like this refired mug! I think the colors are super pretty.

Waiting is sooooooo hard!

Awesome ❤

😂😂😂greate idea❤

I think GLAZING is the most difficult part of the process ... and I've been making pottery for 30 years! This kiln opening reminds me so much of my early ceramic days. A couple of suggestions, even though you use cookies, you can still put kiln wash on the cookie. Also, while you're learning about glazes, you could leave the lower part of your vertical pieces (mugs) without glaze and do an oxide wash. Inscribe a pattern into the raw clay and put glaze only on the top 3/4 of the mug. Brush on an oxide wash on the lower part and gently wipe it off, leaving oxides in the inscribed area. Red iron oxide is easy to find. DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED! This is all part of the process of learning! Best of luck!

I love these hand building tools, really helps with consistency.

Omg, it’s so cute! I cannot tell what is wrong with the transfer? I’m amazed how thin you get your hand built pieces, excited to see what your art looks like in the future, you are very talented.

Use a dremel tool to get the drips off. Maybe you can save some. Also leave a rim on your mugs about 1/2 inch on the bottom.
