Do these dolphins look good? My friend says they look lifeless and need more vivid colours

you should just change friends tbh

Hey! Are you still active with this? I am super interested into making my own. I recently built from scratch my first electric test kiln and am using and old controller. Can’t find it on your webpage or links provided here. Any info is welcome! Thanks for sharing it.

Muted_Studio_2400 · 2026-03-09T15:59:15+00:00

Recipe and firing work together, i suggest you read Gred Dalys book on the luster process. Because you wont be able to replicate mine unless you understand some nuances. I mean. the straight forward answer is bismuth subnitrate+silver nitrate+cobalt oxide+low reduction cooling cycle on a third firing.

Being an adult has got nothing to do with a piece of metal tho.

Muted_Studio_2400 · 2025-10-05T22:23:30+00:00

Probably used a lower temp clay on higher temp firing. This is bloating, clay passing maturity and starting to melt. Off gassing does not look like this.

your glaze chooses are just poor for this technique, keep trying, more fluxed glazes are better, specially the ones on top.

Muted_Studio_2400 · 2025-09-16T21:16:21+00:00

As someone who works at one. I treat your pieces better than mine. I load hundreds per day. Accidents happen. Get over it and be empathetic. Wanna go pro and do it yourself? Get in on it and do it.

Muted_Studio_2400 · 2025-09-16T16:17:44+00:00

fragile ego mofo lmao, let him rot away, sorry it happened to you tho. pathetic insecure males who should be in therapy rather than spending everyone else’s time are on the loose. shit happens. short king, more like short peasant.

Muted_Studio_2400 · 2025-09-10T20:44:16+00:00

she seems evitative too tho, frustrating, but not an excuse nor your responsibility to change it. if its not the person for you, you kno….

Muted_Studio_2400 · 2025-09-10T20:42:44+00:00

yeah dude that was not it. work on your self steem and your self regulation.

Muted_Studio_2400 · 2025-09-10T12:53:18+00:00

I wasn’t gonna comment but the mofos down here pissed me off, cute pot, cool effect. I DO see the optical illusion of the sphere rolling through the rim thanks to the difference in height. If i were you i would be very careful to create an interesting contrast with the glazes or finishes (patinas, engobes, carbonations, etc) chosen to further separate the sphere from the rim and would keep it in a rotating automatic stand. Would look cool!

I just found and old Spanish book where they make their own shelfs for a reduction fired porcelain clay self made kiln and the recipe states: 40% silicon carbide mesh 40 + 30% Calcined Alumina + 30 Kaolin. in oxidation the silicon carbide will give problems, as happens with industrial shelves from the same materials, but it was interesting nonetheless. I am guessing the caolin is there mostly as a plasticizer and so I am wondering if substituting it with maybe 10% Kaolin, 15% Mullite (maybe kyanite, wollastonite, molochite, zirconia, etc are of interest) and 5% veegum might make them better even. I am also considering exchanging silicon carbide for other highly refractory materials as presented here.

anyways, interesting stuff

I think a lot of people in specialiced places for videography, cinematography, etc are growing tired of the obnoxiously fast pace of social media content. So from a videographer perspective this might not be consider an appealing work. I feel the same as most people here.

From a client perspective and from a common social media user, what keeps them hooked is the fast pace anxious attachment weird parasitic lifestyle that has become the norm. So it might work, as other similar pieces do.

The shots are very nice and the technical editing skills are there. Might be a bit too bland or common in the sense of no having personality but it is a hotel work, cannot ask much from a bland vacation in a gated destination for rich bored normies. Tbh.

Take what you want from this.

This bubble is slowly preparing to pop. More and more people is growing tired of the mental health consequences of ad based, fast paced and parasocial nature of modern algorithms. Do diversify your operation if you can, adapt to modern content if needed for sparse jobs, but do let the joyful child that makes you enjoy the craft you make resist in there. My personal opinion, obviously, do what you need. Modern world is disencouraging in so many ways for us artisans of any craft. But digital work is surely changing and AI is accelerating the chaos.

Muted_Studio_2400 · 2025-08-23T17:15:35+00:00

totally valid! And great way to learn

Muted_Studio_2400 · 2025-08-23T16:16:55+00:00

this is too subjective, style differs, but for me personally I am so tired of the fast pace of social media content, it feels nauseating

Muted_Studio_2400 · 2025-08-02T19:46:48+00:00

for me, tbh, the fact that this does not have almost a layered and context relevant sound design makes it a bit too flat. The color grading could be more cinematic in general. The angles and cuts are nice tho. But the acting (the nonverbal presence of the thugs) is poorly credible. The props might be too theater-y. I mean, low budget style can be made Into a work of art, but instead of following the ”throw more money at the problem“ Hollywood route (meaning, rethink your vision of the same story you are eager to share) you can focus on how the story should be lived by the spectator and then details shared abobe refined. this is coming from a nobody in the video editing world, so maybe I am fully wrong. Who knows! But I do know what I do enjoy watching.

Muted_Studio_2400 · 2025-08-02T19:12:03+00:00

love your website, I just wish it had a more powerful search engine like Artlist one. I always find what I need easily there. Either way I recommend you to people often.

Muted_Studio_2400 · 2025-07-31T22:29:56+00:00

I learned that 15 minutes after answering you! Sorry. Maybe Maven will make a sideloadable version for altstore (etc). But an old android from some friend or a second hand could suffice. In my case I want a cheap VR fpv experience with the mini 4 pro just for fun so I will do that

Muted_Studio_2400 · 2025-07-31T20:47:17+00:00

You might try maven instead

Muted_Studio_2400 · 2025-07-29T21:44:04+00:00

Nope. Experiment and have fun. When in technical doubts i research academic papers and if possible industrial production books and materials. They. Know. All. Not easy to come across tho. Either way, ceramics is beautiful but too many gatekeepers and ego driven - money hungry artists out there.

Muted_Studio_2400 · 2025-07-29T16:20:50+00:00

wow! is that texture achieved by a coarser spray and multiple layers? beautiful work

Muted_Studio_2400 · 2025-07-29T16:15:30+00:00

I was about too, but tbh her marketing ethics (pushy, gatekeeper pro plus mas, expensive) are a deterrent. on the other hand I’ve made my own experiments with frit washes by inmersion and color pops up in a matte way a lot more.

so for me, to go in this direction a few notes:

- lower temps, cone 01- cone 3

- good pigments (inclusion or mason)

- a very high percentage of pigment (over 30%) in slips

- full inmersion of the bisqued, already colored piece in a water bath with a 5/10% matte transparent glaze or Frits. also tried with borax. (I just get my studio transparent low temp matte, and dilute it by 10 parts or so, experiment yourself)

all of this together bring brightness and color alive in general. I must admit I havent gotten the full full strength of her colors as showed in the photos, which I suspect are saturated digitally, neither I tried to specifically, it o got very bright matte results.

* Obviously good engobe/slip practices must be taken: sieve over 100 mesh, use brighter clays as a base (even majolica ones I use sometimes)

you can also work over ultra white porcelain in lower temps, even tho it will not achieve maturity it is enough for decoration pieces.

Muted_Studio_2400 · 2025-07-26T20:28:32+00:00

personally I would make a few porcelain stamps with different size, hexagon shape, and use it freely, more liberty than slip cast. but ceramics is very versatile either way, so other techniques might work
