    Don’t worry friends! Since filming I’ve repotting the plant in the new planter so she has room to grow 💚

    As others have already stated, the "process" of designing & measuring" is incredible. Your template work alone, is a major inspiration.
    Have you ever done any small lamps, with matching shades? To be used with an electrical "socket" insert in the base?
    You're an incredible inspiration...you broaden our horizons.

    To me, one of the most compelling areas of creating is the problem solving and ingenuity that goes into achieving a concept. The variety of ways there are to create and get from one point to another make everyones work unique. I love the idea that you wanted to build this big, huge stand and turn a little guy into a big, sweeping palm tree and that you found a way in spite of limitations. Those moments where you are compelled by an idea and just have to find a way to it are where ingenuity grows. Personally I wonder if there would be a way to sort of hook the forms, but I’m having trouble thinking of one. Solving the problem of making large pieces in small kilns is a good problem to think about.

    Fun video! It’s so helpful to see how other potters plan out large pieces. I’m thinking about making a couple of large totem poles and this gave me great ideas for the template. I can’t help but think of turmeric when looking at your golden clay! 😂huge surprise after the bisque firing!! Such a pretty brown!

    Please make a 2 clay pots with a filtering stone in the middle ,in South America we use this to keep drinking water at natural temperature and we used a wood stand to hold the pot with the filter stone On top and the one with the filter water in the bottom with a nice cup with a long handles to take the water out .. I cannot find anything like this in the United States and I will love to see you create one .

    I always wanted to do pottery, but have never gotten around to it, I have so many other projects, so I just watch it on UA-cam, I only found you today, and I am amazed at your skills! I do not know why some kiln company hasn’t sponsored you and sent you the kiln that you want, I believe you would like a bigger kiln(???). I believe your subscribers would agree. Who do we write to? I’ve NEVER even thought of doing this for another UA-camr … what kiln do you currently use (brand and size so we can make this happen for you)!!!!
    WHO’S WITH ME ON THIS!?

    Mia thank you for your work! I'm learning a lot from you. I'm new to ceramics. I see you didn't glaze your product. But it will be used next to the sink where the water is. Please tell us on your channel when it is important to cover the product with glaze and when it is not important. Flower pots are not necessarily glazed. Do I understand correctly? Is it normal to leave a flower vase outside without glaze completely or partially?

  • @touisbetterthanpi
    @touisbetterthanpi Рік тому

    Fantastic result. One question though: why do you let the pots dry in between coils? I’m guessing that’s so you have a firmer base for the next coil but I’ve not had that be a problem.

  • @lindarugan7962
    @lindarugan7962 9 місяців тому

    I love your table, and l learned so much from your videos. I just started in air dry clay, but would like to get into ceramics. Other than the cost of a Kiln, would you say it is about the same in costs using the ceramic clay and glazes as ADC and paint? Thank you so much! 😊

  • @lornapenn-chester6867

  • @jenniferclyde8911
    @jenniferclyde8911 Рік тому

    You really love a big project😂😂 this came out very cool!
    This may be a silly question, but how do you figure out the sizing of the templates? I get the height, width, etc… but do you just do the angle of roundness (there is probably a word for this but 🤷‍♀️) by eye or is there some math involved? Or something I’ve not thought of?

    This is very beautiful, for some reason I'm not a fan of coiling....probably because it's so tedious and I already have a hard time being patient with ceramics as it is.

    • @PotterytothePeople
      @PotterytothePeople  2 роки тому +2

      Definitely it’s tedious! But I also think its fun because they way I work I only work on each pot for like 15 minutes a day and then over days it feels like it just grows out of nowhere!😍

    Speaking as a pot plant person, I would have made the top pot the right size to hold a standard size plastic pot, and not actually plant your plant in the clay pot. Advantages - swapping plants (especially if your light level is low), avoiding the awful business of salts leaching through the clay.
