Hi guys and welcome back to my channel Blue Nose Trading. My name is Tori Solis and today I'm back with the part two of my semester at the Dallas College in Richland, my ceramics I class. This part two because whenever they released all of our work, they were unable to fire the reduction kiln until recently, because a family of geese was out there living on it. So the geese have moved on and now we were able to fire the reduction kiln, so all of this work came out of my gas reduction firing.
The first thing I have here is one of those pinch pots that I made. It's exactly the same as the ones from the last video, only it's fired in reduction. So it came out a lot darker, like a nice orange color with some speckles. This is white stoneware. I brought the other one from the other firing, which has a plant in it now. This one was fired in oxidation, and this one was fired in reduction. The glazes came out a little bit different, and so did the clay body, clearly. I really think I like the reduction one better than the oxidation one for this piece. Really glad I did this. I'm going to probably keep these, forever, or until I break them, whatever comes first.
This is one that stuck to the cookie and has a bunch of stuff I have to sand off all over it. This is a temmoku on the inside and I think its VC matte over the temmoku on the outside, which was not great. It crawled in places and it ran like crazy, and it stuck to the shelf so probably don't do that again.
This next one here is just VC matte on my loca mocha clay body. The clay body itself looks super awesome and fantastic in reduction, but VC matte just kind of burned out. It doesn't really look like anything, so, not great for reduction firing.
This one is my favorite. These two are both mino white and they are on the loca mocha clay body. That's all it is is mino white on the inside, on the outside, and then the carved spots are the bare loca mocha clay. This loca mocha clay went so dark, and it has such a nice metallic to it. The clay body coming through this white glaze, it's just so toasty like a marshmallow. I love this. I'm keeping this. This one's for me.
This is the same exact glaze combination, but instead of putting the glaze on the outside of the carvings, I put the glaze only on the inside of the carvings, and then the outside is just the plain clay body and the inside is also the mino white. Really great, this came out really well.
This one is the mino white on the inside. The outside is all raw clay that got that really cool effect, then there's bailey's red around the rim. Which is a really dark rusty kind of color. It's fine. I don't think it's exceptional, but it's ok.
Both of these pieces are the oops black over just the clay itself. The oops black went really matte and really metallic. I think it's pretty fantastic. I just can't get over how amazing this loca mocha clay looks in this reduction firing. This is more oops black over the loca mocha. A really fantastic clay.
The train is coming, I'm going to try to beat it with my outro. Thank you guys for tuning in this week. If you'd like to see a weekly art video you can subscribe to my channel, Blue Nose Trading.
