#40) Using slip trailing for surface treatments

[villagegrl11]

Hi OCP ! I'm a new potter and am loving every minute I have my hands in/on/around clay! So happy to have discovered your videos at this early stage . . . I'm learning so much from you! I want my pieces to have life and originality . . . you inspire me! Thank you!

Hi, I like the way you do the trrailing, and I will try it when I have time. Would you pls tell me how you make the background ? I mean before you trailing it, did you dip the piece into another colour ? Or you spray the cup by coloured slip ? Are those cups bisqued before you working on ?  Thanks.

Hey there!

Greetings from amsterdam ;-)

love your vids, very inspirational!

Ever tried mixing a little bit of soap in your slip? then take a walk down memory lane and blow in it with a straw... :-) this creates bubbles in wich you can dip your piece. gives a sort of marble effect.

love the colours on your pieces in the vid of august! any chance on more details about the glazes?

happy potting!

blessed be.

I would be happy to tell you all about whicher glaze your interested in if you could be more specific and tell me what you're interested in.

[ceibhfionn2]

That would be great! thanks!

i would like to know how you decorated the teabowls, i love the structure and the different colours, is that sliptrailing with a coat of glaze?

and the decoration on vases number 3 and 4 in your vid, thats what i'm curious about to...

hope it's not to much trouble, thanks again!

blessed be

Cool work Mike! I would like to see that first piece you showed the still frame on...but even closer. There appears to be some layering that reminds me of painting.

wow your pieces are A-freaking-mazing

even though its a totally different medium your stuff has inspired me to make some new pieces

[offcenteredpotter]

thanks man... that's always good to hear, as like most artists I am my own worst critic! Glass is very different, yea, but I think there is a lot that is quite the same.

I can't tell which of your videos show you. Make a video with a gallery of your stuff so we can see!

[ramanglass544]

i have yet to make a gallery vid but thats cause i dont think most of my stuff is worth showing but ...

If you want to see me work look me up on facebook or even myspace i think i have

just look up michael raman ;D
