I think I’ve realised I prefer having control over where these specks appear as it introduces another element of design and choice into my work. In this case, the two bits of metal will line up, creating two points that you’ll naturally want to align when displaying the pieces.
The trickiest part is actually getting the brittle metal into the clay. I wet a finger and dab a minuscule shard onto it, upright, which is then pressed into the clay. Once lightly attached, it’s pushed all the way in using a simple, flat-ended metal tool.
Doing this at the end of the process also means I’m not snagging my trimming tools on these flecks, which again is helpful as doing so often creates long scratches in the leather hard pots surfaces.

Two points are always colinear. It wasn’t by chance they lined up, any two points picked at random form a line
How are the thin walls of your bowl and the thick, untrimmed base apparently the same dryness? I figure the base would still be too soft to trim because of how thick it is
May God bless and be with you! ❤ Jesus loves you 😊
Get a real job
Bro the footing of your bowls gave me more chills than the red spots
Yes!!! ❤️💫⭐️
The finished pieces really are a delight to look at.
If bronze = red in your reduction kiln, do other metals make other colors? A green would look nice against your white glaze, or a deep green against your green glazes.
How is your bronze obtained? Some alloys are known to contain lead!
Why didn't you sprinkle the bronze onto the wet glaze so you don't have the pockmarks in the ceramic
Racing to do this… in the new year?!!!!
Got an unzumaki flashback dhgjjgsshk
It all looks wonderful, from the satisfying noises to the beautiful, perfect pots
The clay you work with looks so much like chocolate.
I think it's neat how, even though you can paint that on, you choose to play with the way materials naturally interact with each other. Things like that make different forms of art so fun. It's kind of like using expired film for photography, where you appreciate the unpredictability of how the photo will turn out.
I saw the finished products in your other video. They are amazing! It can't be easy to keep something you've worked on for so many years fresh and interesting, but you consistently manage to do it. Thank you so much for sharing your work.
