Experimenting with Mushrooms! Gone right (and wrong...) | Design Struggles and Creative Lessons
This video was such a journey-full of experiments, unexpected failures, and lots of valuable lessons. Join me as I dive into the creative (and sometimes chaotic) process of making pottery mushrooms from start to finish.
From brainstorming designs to shaping, glazing, and everything in between, I’ll share my thoughts on what worked, what didn’t, and how I plan to improve next time. Whether you're here for inspiration, pottery tips, or just some relaxing creative vibes, I hope this video brings you joy and some inspo!
I’d love to know your thoughts and/or predictions on the mushrooms! Your ideas are always welcome.
Thanks for being part of this creative adventure-let’s grow (and laugh) together! 🌱✨
P.S. Watch till the end for a peek at some finished and glazed bonus pieces!

Yap and Throw! | Why I make mushrooms, perfectionism, and my unconventional opinion on ramen bowls

Chatty mcguire over here :) In this video I had some things to throw and A LOT of things to say. From talking about why I like making mushrooms, to my college critiques, and random opinions on ramen bowls - I hope this video kept you company and maybe even helped you be productive.

    Many mushrooms form cracks in their caps when exposed to the sun. I certainly understand the drive for perfection as we want to see it but especially with the happy accident of the stalk bending/collapsing and the fact that the crack is glazed nicely I actually really love that piece. I hope it doesn't end up in the trashed pile.

    Oh my gosh these are amaaaazing!! I love that you work on the handbuilding part in front of a mirror! Brilliant idea. I’ve seen people do that while at the wheel but never handbuilding. I’m so sorry that one was still wet but thankfully it didn’t destroy the other one. I don’t know if you know this but there is a little gadget you can get that is for telling if drywall or plaster is dry and it can be super helpful for making sure the moisture is all out of the clay. Extremely helpful for handbuilding. ❤

Also, on some of my pieces I use slip as texture. I use the tip of a paint brush and wallah! Takes a couple coats of slip. That sculpture came out great! FANTASTIC JOB! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

    I really loved that vid. And yes, definitely, we're best friends now. What it felt like to me, and the reason i really liked it: it was like being alone with the artist inside her head. If it's authenticity you're looking for, you get pretty close, imo, with something like that. And all your viewers have to do is cuddle up inside your mind with you and go along for that highly enjoyable ride. It's not about "my growth", it's not about "showing my process". Those are topics for other people who are talking about the artist. The making of art can be seen as the resolution of a set of (sometimes uncomfortable) questions or doubts. I saw the vid as the experience of being there while the artist is in conversation with herself, which includes what the artist is making.

    I enjoyed this format very much; I was enjoying the Yap & Throw (LOL) with my Sunday breakfast, and the video style was good fit. I could probably just zen out watching the throwing; but I thoughly enjoyed the yapping, as well! :) Ok, so ramen bowls... my preference would to have a couple of small depressions in the rim where I could set the sticks, but not so deep that they distract from the art. Anyway... looking forward to more of these!
