Why I Don’t Work in Series (and How It Affects My Firings)

#Ceramics #KilnFiring #PotteryTips Discover my personal approach to ceramics and pottery firing. In this video, I share tips for both beginners and experienced potters: how I load my kiln, why I don’t work in series, and how I deal with glazing risks and warping issues. You'll see my full ceramics process — from kiln loading to the final kiln opening — with commentary on glazes, stoneware, firing to cone 8 (±1240°C), and how to prevent pottery breakage or unexpected results. I use red, white, and black stoneware (sometimes mixed), mostly glazed with home-made recipes. This video includes pottery tips, firing techniques, glaze tests, and real talk about what worked… and what didn’t. Whether you’re into bonsai pottery, studio ceramics or just want a behind-the-scenes look at the life of a potter — welcome! •• SUPPORT THE CHANNEL •• Support me by becoming a Patreon member: 👉 https://bit.ly/3G9yOtf (Patreon takes 8% commission.)
