About

Welcome to my YouTube Pottery Channel :-) Ceramic Artist - I play with mud and create pottery. Serial entrepreneur & SEO Expert Here you will find videos with tips and creative ideas for how to create interesting pottery using various techniques and how to fire and glaze pottery. I primarily Wheel Throw my pots but I use many different techniques to do so. To make larger pots I often throw in sections. You can find many videos here about how to do that. I like to work with textured surfaces - crackled textures, slip decorations, chattering, roller textures, scratches, beaten patterns - and all sorts of pottery with attitude. One of my special passions is Pitfire Pottery so a lot of the videos will cover my work with that. Please subscribe if you want to be notified about new videos :-)

I will then show how I wheel thro the sink, how I trim it and bisque the sink. And finally I will show how I glaze the sink using a combination of Gloating Blue, Heath A2 White and oxide wash.
