Bowled Over - Pottery by Jill Slutsky Hi everyone! I am currently in my 4th year of pottery making with a focus on creating dreamy, functional pottery and sculptural ceramics.

You can find my finished work at Made Market NWA and Big Heart Bread in Rogers, Arkansas.

It's glazing day in the studio again, and I have another glaze combination we're gonna try together.

This time I'll be using Amaco Smoky Merlot and Amaco Black Aventurine on an oil bottle.

Black Aventurine is one of those colors that I don't use very often. But when I got an amazing result with it and Smoky Merlot on a mug that I completed recently, I had to try it again.

As with my other glazing videos, you will have full access to see the process as well as the final result at the end!

Please be sure to leave comments in questions below. I would love to know, would you personally use this combination on a piece that you are working on?

Oh, yes, I need to let you guys know that. I put this on Laguna Bmix five clay and fired it to cone five, medium speed with a ten minute hold.

Much love, Jill

Good morning! I have a glaze combination for you on a bowl this time.

In the past I have focused the dreamy drippy combination on the inside of the bowl. There is definitely less risk that way. But I decided to focus the cool glaze on the outside of these because I intend for them to be soup bowls.

I think, if you intend for a bowl to be purely decorative, it makes sense to put the cool design inside, especially if its a low wide bowl. But if making functional pottery, specifically a soup bowl, you want the inside to be a nice backdrop for the soup, and not for them to compete.

So, I put a simple Amaco Honey Flux x3 coats inside.

Because of the vertical surface outside, I decided to put stable glazes as base and center. So, I used 2x coats of Coyote Cinnamon Stick as the base, alternating brushing direction.

I then placed dots of Coyote Rust Brown at the very top. After that I brushed 2x coats of Honey Flux over the dots and slightly blending into the Cinnamon stick below...and here are the results!

As always, please leave any comments or questions below.

Much love, Jill

The wonders of Amaco Obsidian under other amazing Amaco colors.

We are working today on an artistic 8 oz. thumb tumbler, with different colors from Amaco. The look we're going for: Northern Lights

Some very important takeaways I learned... The first thing that you need to know is that even though Amaco Obsidian is a stable, opaque glaze, putting glazes that have float in the name and that are known for movement (check the label) essentially move quite a bit on their own will still move and run on top of this stable glaze. So be very careful about applying those glazes to the foot of your piece.

I have learned, and I have taken three of the six pieces to the wheel and used my Diamond Core grinding bats to smooth those surfaces. I would say that the Diamond Core grinding bats are worth every penny. I've used them time and time again.

The clay that I am using is laguna. B mix 5, fired to cone 5, medium speed with a ten minute hold in an electric kiln.

As always, please comment or leave questions below.

Much love, Jill

I thought it would take advantage of some time. Where I was loading my kiln this morning to give some tips to some beginners who may have just gotten their kiln at home... And maybe some of these tips will help people who are at a more immediate level. I'll let you decide :)

As always, please feel free to leave comments and questions below.

Much love, Jill
