What's up guys welcome back to another pottery video where I'm ok monkey and we have a full kill downstairs we're gonna go open that up open the kiln get some pots out then we're gonna drink some coffee I don't know we're just gonna see what happens so let's do it so this is our back area at Mokomunky not the nicest of spaces but not the worst of spaces and comparison to our studio downstairs all right so we got a full kiln in there of totally random stuff because it was just a bunch of stuff that was left over we got our wheel all cleaned up getting ready to move it out of here and we grinded down all those grinded down all these kiln furniture so we're ready to move those so yeah I think we're moving like probably this week all right let's open up this kiln see what we got see what we got all right ready for this you ready oh coffee so good let's open this kiln I'm excited we got this is gonna be a quick kiln loading then I'm not gonna talk a lot through and I know I've said that before and then I just talk through it so I can't make any promises but that's what I'm thinking is gonna happen so let's do it right here's a few canyon skies twisty little canyon skies something else this I don't think I ever came up with a name for this glaze but it's my floating blue with some some other things going on at the top another twisty vase I don't really ever do this but I thought I would just try it so this is a set of cups with one one glaze on it what do you think of that there we go okay so these are just cups with one glaze one floating blue glaze on the dark iron stoneware clay these were all these are all new tested so there's a that's a very very very cool looking glaze I like it a lot and then there's another green kind of a lany green this one it's pretty neat oh neat oh bandito twisty cup a little shot cup here's a big blue bowl with spiral in there you're not pretty good didn't really warp it all like that that black looks like it's a little thin yeah like I said this was just so much random stuff I might actually just do a little sail at mokomaki like put everything upstairs for like 10 bucks because it's like all random stuff oh this one's cool nice twisty twisty cool spiral just some little little pots and then here's some bowls which I did just in this Albany Brown and buttercream mix which I just like literally try to do it is kind of sporadic yeah I don't know I don't know what I think of that what do you think what do you think of this set yeah it's alright whatever honestly I'm just trying to get pots through and done oh a little face it's pretty sweet looking got the finger marks in there inspired by Joel Cherico got a twisty carved so this cup had a hole in it like I carved it too deep on one side and it had a hole and then I glazed it and it was a really small hole so I thought that the glaze might cover the hole which I think it did well but there's a crack in it there's a crack in it going in the garbage this one is cool this one's got a little so I always I've had some pinhole issues with this glaze this is at northern north woods is what I called it for a while and then I started getting these little pinholes can you see that in there and so then I just stop basically just stop doing that glaze it's good while I lasted but we're on we've moved on to bigger and better things and another twisted there's a Minnesota mug with a tree and an NN little spiral mug there's a nice oh that's a cool bowl with the little spiral in there and then here's some more a little flower planter pot things very cool there's some cool texture in there like that was the funnest thing about when I threw all those pots with one hand like then I literally they were a little bit on the thicker side so I thought I should just carve into all of them and then like it was just super fun like all I just love the texture and the different stuff in in pop these are the last things this is a little espresso cup for the for somebody what do you think of all these pots that might be one of the most random fires I've ever I've ever done one of the most random fires all right well so typically for the last year I've never actually said this but I've been doing a minimum of two videos per week right like I if you follow me really closely then you know that I've put up a video on Monday at 10 30 a.m. and Wednesday at 10 30 a.m. pretty good religiously now for the last year and some months and then I'll do an extra one every once in a while on Thursday or Friday or if something's going on like Enseika I did a couple videos and and sometimes I've had like tons of ideas and ton like there's been times when I've had four or five videos like ready to go and I'm just like cranking out and then there's been times when I'm literally making up a video the day before I put it off right and right now is one of those times the last month has been super super busy with fulfilling all Kickstarter orders and the construction of the studio has really shifted to me doing everything you know like I'm building all the shelves and I'm moving everything in and I'm trying to do as much as I can painting finishing the floors all that stuff like I've done all that so it's been super busy so I've been focused more on that than I have been on making videos but once we get into the new studio we kind of get into our new rhythm like I really feel like I'll be able to crank out a lot of really good videos stuff that's super cool and interesting I have a lot of ideas but long story short I'm just gonna take a like a week long break from video so this is gonna be the last video for probably a week hopefully when we come back next week or like the foreseeable future probably I mean it won't be that long then I'll have a couple good videos ready to go about moving the studio because basically I'm gonna take a little time off to move the studio and to just like hang out with the family so this will be the last video now until we kind of are done and hopefully working in the new studio lots of good videos to come like we got the first 25 mugs in the new studio that people paid for on the Kickstarter so we're gonna be doing that video we got a great video about our new extruder that we got we got a different extruder than that one so I'm gonna be talking about the differences in those we got tons of new glaze combinations like all those glaze combinations that we have been kind of teasing about like those are all to come pretty soon like starting in June we're gonna be talking all about those we're gonna be talking about what makes a good studio how to set up a studio the cost of a studio doing so much sweet stuff I got another donut teapot thing coming that's gonna be like a different new style and that anyway tons of great videos to come we're gonna take a short break from the YouTube channel just to collect ourselves come up with a plan move the new studio and yeah looking forward to a great summer so I hope that's all right with you I think I've spent 14 to 15 months now at two plus videos per week and I haven't missed a week so I'm just gonna take a short little break if you yell at me in the comments then just just don't yell at me in the comments that hurts my feelings but we got I got there's so much stuff I want to talk about oh big topic I want to talk about is the plagiarism like who when are you copying when are you being original like how do you deal with that balance of like if you see me make a cup and you straight up go cut try and make the exact same cup like is that okay I want to talk about how to avoid burnout god there's just so many ideas but I just I need to like just get into the new studio and then we're gonna go we're gonna do it okay I've rambled on far enough it's time for me to take some pictures of this these pots so that I can insert them into the videos yeah thanks for listening to me babble about my thoughts and my YouTube and all that stuff wow I can really talk to a camera sometimes once I get going if you haven't already hit that subscribe button like share comment smash that bell that bell button you know to get
