I just wanted you to know that I never miss one of your videos. I find them to be as beneficial as any on the tube. Thanks

Oh. My. Goodness. This is mesmerizing, elegant and beautiful.

Hey, wonderful video. I have a few questions, hopefully you or someone else can answer them. They are:

1- can you use any sort of pencil? Or does it have to be a special pottery type pencil?
2- How long do you wait for your pieces to dry before carving and slip decorating? A day or two? Or longer?
3- Do you bisque fire before glazing? Or do you have success in greenware stage and glazing?

Thanks so much!!

All of them are beautiful. I think I like the last vase/pot the best. Thank you so much for explaining the slip trailing process so clearly!

Oh and one more thing, I just finished up visiting through the annual St. Croix Valley Pottery Tour in MN... It's big and wonderful and OH SO FUN, but your beautiful artistry outshines so many. Finishing my wonderful day with this video is just a treat.

I like using a handheld immersion blender to mix slip w/water. Then sieve thru 80 mesh screen (or a Talisman sieve).

[denisenoble]

as always, your ideas and imagination are inspiring, i loved all they look so pretty but my favourite was the image of the pot with dots and swags from above, due to your shape you couldn't see the plain white underside. thanks or sharing everything, and ill keep watching thank you x
