i didn't like the part when you were cutting it in half, because it was quite beautiful^^

@Mundm123 Hi, cutting it in half is for educational purpose.

Another inspiring video. I find that as my pottery progresses, I am more inclined to texture, and the amazing control in using colored slip while green. I've seen too many forms I like, be destroyed with a glaze that didn't add to the form's character. Thank you again for sharing.

@john6283a Thanks for your comment. If your are interested, I have more pottery making videos on Youtube. Please just type keyword "mypots" to search those videos.

@95CDH Found it! Look at his #37 video entitled "Rubbing Ink into the Crackle Glaze to Enhance the Pattern"

@95CDH Oops, or did you mean the glaze crackling? That's caused by using a glaze with a different "fit" to the clay body. Google "crackle glaze pottery" or similar search term.

@HunterFazlollahi He makes these tools from hacksaw blades. The demonstration video for making the tools is #7 in his series. It is titled "Making your own Trimming Tools From Hacksaw Blades"

@95CDH Are you talking about the chatter marks? He uses the tool as demonstrated in this video, then highlights the chatter marks by his choice of underglazes, oxides, and glazes.

what is the first tool you used to make the chatter?

[yuisato54]

You are such a good potter and teacher.

My chattering tool does not bounce and only leaves thin lines... Is my piece too soft? How tight do you hold your tool, and how much pressure do you apply to the tip of your tool against your pot? Thank you again for your awesome videos!!

is your clay leather hard when you start trimming?
