"They do still look like menstrual cups" oh no... it's so true... you said that line and I just immediately recontextualized and started cackling... menstrual cups would be much cooler if they turned into snakes at the bottom. More dangerous, though. That time of the month is already enough trouble without worrying about your cup biting your fingers.
When you said you put a spiral on, I thought you would let the snack coil around the pot and slither down, kind of like slither down, but simulatiously merge with the pot, like its water or something. But I love how they turned out. And I would be very interested in this watering system
@@PotterytothePeople still extremly cool. I considered buying these, until I realized, that I a) cant have nice stuff because of toddlers and b) I dont have plants in the house :D
Cool! I would probably use that kind of planter as a decorative outer pot for a plant by setting a plant in a pot with drain holes inside them. That way, the soil can drain properly, and you can remove the plant from the decorative pot at any time.
Since there is no drainage, and the pots are deep, it would be good filling the bottom with pebbles or tumbled lava rocks which will help make sure the roots don’t stay soaked.
The snake sculpting is awesome! To avoid the menstrual cup vibes maybe you should have made the snake body coil around the pot instead of become the pot.
You showed up in my recommended videos and I AM SO FREAKING GLAD. I absolutely adore TGPT, and your series is giving me life right now! I waited to get all caught up before commenting, but I have to thank you for continuing with these videos. You're so incredibly talented -- you have a new fan here in Texas!!!
I like the idea of putting an extra section in - it can be a reservoir for water. You need to have drainage in a planter pot, in case of over-watering, and it's good to have some extra water available to the plant if you're away for a few days.
these are amazing I have never touched potery before but now I'm sitting here thinking about what if you had the snake head sculptuure be hollow with an open nouth so that wen you water the plant in there any excess water drains out the snakes mouth. they are beautiful
Yes! I thought the same. It’s not good to have plants in a pot without drainage as the roots can rot. Need to place some stones or gravel in bottom of the pot so the soil can breath and a drainage hole so excess water can drip out… yes hanging pots still need drainage. She did a great job of the pots and I love the glaze colour, I would love to see these planters in a Raku firing.
About your question about Covid, it's completely normal, I had Covid last summer and still when I do too much, I get sick with the same symptoms without actually having a positive test. For me it's diagnosed as long Covid. I think it can stay a while in your system after getting better. I hope it works out better for you!
You are so cute, even when you are sick 😊 hoping you begin to feel better soon😊, love this series you are doing, and it's because of YOU that I even heard about the THROWDOWN 🎉 thank you 🙏 I'm now waiting for them to release season 6 on where I have access to the show. But I want to also thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills with us so generously 🙏💗 *Subscriber and avid fan of your channel* 🎨 Art'On 🎨
For hanging planters keep the plant in the pot and the put the pot into the planter. Take them out to water them drain then put back in planter. They are fab!❤
By British Law, you must have EXCELLENT 60's Rock and Roll in the background. The theme song might be early Who. But the connecting music and segment bumpers are the best British Rock EVER!
This was awesome! Thank you! These kind of videos are very motivational and I’m ready to go tackle a fantasy teapot I’m busy making with new verve 👏🏻❤️🔥☕️🎷
Yay! You’re back! I’m so sorry you have been sick. I hope feeling better soon. Your planters turned out beautiful. When you were sculpting the snakes, I kept humming “trust in me, trust in me” that Kaa the snake sings in The Jungle Book. I know what you mean about hanging planters being a pain to water. The olla sounds like an interesting idea. Seeing it reminded me of a special planter that my mother had for her African violet. It was one pot inside another. The outside pot was glazed and held the water, the inside pot was bisque on the bottom so the violet could have slow ans consistent water delivery….basically the reverse of the olla concept. You might want to look them up and see if you might be able to make hanging planters that way.
They’re interesting, aren’t they? I remember that they worked really well, too. The inside pot on hers had a wide, ruffled rim that supported the leaves, too. Whoever came up with the initial design really thought about what an African violet needed.
What fun! A snake plant (Dracaena trifasciata) seems like it would have been the obvious choice if they were better suited for a hanging planter 🤪 Love the series and would love to see you make the watering device!
I love the matte black glaze. I think a crackle glaze and a metallic bronze glaze would also work for that ‘raku’ look. Also amaco CO8 dark star cosmos glaze. Something maybe to try next time :)
I'm loving these videos and I can relate to the lack of sculpting experience, the most sculpting I do is attaching intricate handles, other than that I don't touch it with a 10 foot pole
That's a pothos! Those roots are aerial roots and in nature, they use them to climb trees. If you plant them with a moss pole they will climb and get bigger leaves. If you leave them be, the vines will hang.
To get the "rushing ending" regardless of scenario: As you feel like you are getting near end act rushed, get flustered, let yourself kinda get caught in the moment but if you feel like you may make a mistake, just walk off the side and get yourself back to normal mentally, then go back in as if you just had a good cry session (wipe face, brush hair back, fling fingers of "energy"). Then in edit, make that (no matter when it happens) near end cuts and use fast or 'quck-cuts' to get that "so much is happening right now" feeling from the faux-rush "scenes".
40:31 Yes, I'd love to see an olla and see how it works. I've managed to keep some plants alive but I have 0 idea how to help them thrive without a bioactive enclosure
I really would love a video about ollas❤ I love them for my garden and didn't try to make some for myself, but maybe if I see you I will also give it a try.😅
I wonder if you could have used metal or wooden skewers to help hold the snake head in place while it's still wet? And then you can remove them when it's a bit dryer?
Are throwing rooms generally humid? You mentioned a drying room. I have a problem with my clay drying out in progress. And BTW, I'm in my 70s and never did get The Rone. 😮
I'm wondering if part of the time crunch is part of the drying time being included, since some things need to be leather hard and they use the drying room during counted time to achieve that...
I had the same thing happen (getting sick) I tested negative for covid and didn't have exactly the same experience as when I had covid BUT whatever cold I got hit me like a truck and my symptoms were more "covid like" than I ever had before. Still dealing with a lingering cough vs my boyfriend who got sick from me but barely and isn't still coughing.
we all experience it differently! Such a weird disease. Yes its the same for me (though luckily i haven’t gotten sick again since this video so hopefully the next tome wont be a full-on covid symptoms again!!)
New sub here, lovely channel. It's been many years since I had a studio to do pottery in. I like how these came out, great choice of glaze too. I was however wondering why you didn't throw them upside down in one piece? You'd have saved alot of labour and time, and basically only needed to attach the heads of your snakes. Is it because you were making the design up at you went along? Also, as the rim isn't glazed, why waste glaze on the inside which will vitrify anyway and isn't seen? I hope you don't mind the questions. I'm missing pottery so much and would be doing it in my flat if there was a community kiln anywhere in my city, my building is old and wont do 3 phase electrics. Sadly no, and none of the potters I reached out to will let me leave a few pieces to be fired for any payment. People aren't helpful here. So it will have to wait. Raku is really my favorite, which i can do outdoors farbfrom the city, but still requires bisquefiring... It's fun to see people experimenting like I used to! Keep it up! ❤🐍
I agree I had Covid over a year ago but any sickness I have gotten since has been different then before Covid and one sickness I got a terrible cough that lasted wayyyy too long and lost my smell again like Covid
I'm a little worried about the chemicals in the glaze poisoning the plant itself. Raku clay is a little more Poris so that will let the air into the plant roots which is good.
If you really like to try raku firing, I would recoment tink&thinker, here on youtube, he does raku firing ad home, with simple tools. Maybe this might give you a chance to try it. I think raku firing is really awsome and I would love to try it, just to pot hors hair on my peace or herbs or what ever is laying around 😉
How beautiful! fun fact: this plant (I think it’s called pothos) has a nickname in Portuguese, jiboia, which is literally a snake species!
woooah OK fact of the video 🙌 how perfect is that!
They are also one of the easiest plants to take care of. We water ours when we notice the leaves starting to droop.
@@chenisejenkins1786 Yes! They are so easy! Also, if you see yellow leaves then you are overwatering.
Tava procurando um brasileiro que tivesse comentado
Jibóia pros gringos é "boa". Boa snake, rainbow boa...

Young lady, your lack of pretense and simple honesty makes me smile.
That was a perfect glaze for those planters.
How kind of you to say!
Since there is no drainage, and the pots are deep, it would be good filling the bottom with pebbles or tumbled lava rocks which will help make sure the roots don’t stay soaked.
The beauty of making your own olla, is that you can make it any custom size! Yes we want to see you make ollas. Feel better!
The snake sculpting is awesome! To avoid the menstrual cup vibes maybe you should have made the snake body coil around the pot instead of become the pot.
I love how you always insist on the pair being identical, but they are never identical and you always convince yourself that it’s ok.

When the snake fell the second time his nose got squished I was like he's a hognose now!
Well done! I totally think you’d make Keith cry!
hehe that would be an honor :)
These two are a success!!!!!!!!!!! And the matte black is beautiful.
Thank you! 🥰🥰
I've made several ollas for friends, I think with success. Would love to see how you go about it!
I am looking forward to trying it!
I'd love to see it too.
Such a beautiful glaze, and the snakes turned out great! Can't wait for the next in this series :) hope you feel better soon
Thank you! I am better now :)
My favourite episode! looking forward for the next ones. I like to see the ollas for watering :)
Thanks for watching! Stay tuned for olla making then ;)
I feel like the snake coiling around the pot would’ve been cool. I’m only half way through so I’m sure the end is great as always.
You are so cute, even when you are sick 😊 hoping you begin to feel better soon😊, love this series you are doing, and it's because of YOU that I even heard about the THROWDOWN 🎉 thank you 🙏 I'm now waiting for them to release season 6 on where I have access to the show.

Thank you!! I'm glad I made another person obsessed with throwdown too 😆
I can totally imagine these on my patio with a string of hearts or some kind of hanging plant like that. I love these!
I almost bought a string of pearls instead of the pothos!
i love them too, cant believe i only just found this video, how didi i miss it? the texture on you snake heads is gorgeous, shows the glaze beautify

They turned out Great. The only thing I think I might have added is gloss black in the eyes. But I think they are really cool. Love them ❤
Loved this episode. So interesting to hear and see your design process played out. Stunning hanging planters!
Thank you!!
Yes please Olla video. We’ll need to work out how to say it first though😂 no idea
I appreciate the skill, art, and time you share with me, they, us...
They turned out really great! Thanks for pushing on even without the raku capability! Enjoyed watching! Feel better soon!
Thank you!
Would love a demo on the watering device.
I'll get on it!
decorated cone of about 15 cm made out low temperature clay and not glazed!
Same!😊
you could have thrown the entire pot up-side-down and used a chuck to trim and finish the rim
What beautiful planters! I also love snakes and these are so interesting and cool.
Watching you form a pot on the wheel is kinda mesmerizing.
I’m loving your throw down challenge videos.
This was awesome! Thank you! These kind of videos are very motivational and I’m ready to go tackle a fantasy teapot I’m busy making with new verve 👏🏻❤️🔥☕️🎷
I was a bit surprised that you didn't roll a coil and wrap it around the planter
These are some of the coolest things you've made on here!
Thank you! :D I love them.
Yay! You’re back! I’m so sorry you have been sick. I hope feeling better soon. Your planters turned out beautiful.

woooahh! You just blew my mind with that watering contraption! I seriously might need to make that...
They’re interesting, aren’t they? I remember that they worked really well, too. The inside pot on hers had a wide, ruffled rim that supported the leaves, too. Whoever came up with the initial design really thought about what an African violet needed.
I can’t believe you sold them for 120 euros. For 5 to 6 hours of work, materials, energy, and shipping preparation. It’s not enough to make a living
❤️❤️❤️ Yes it’s true! It’s hard to make a living as an artist, and very near impossible to make a good living.
I have never seen a rim added in the way you did it, so clever and it looks so good! ❤
Thanks! To be honest I never did it before either :D
These look mental. I love them.
What fun! A snake plant (Dracaena trifasciata) seems like it would have been the obvious choice if they were better suited for a hanging planter 🤪
Love the series and would love to see you make the watering device!
haha that would be one tallll plant/planter combo. But why not! :)
Turns out it wás a snakeplant after all.
Yes please show how you would make oyas for your hanging snake planters!
I enjoy your honesty
Such a good choice to put a devil's ivy in them
I would love to see you make some ollas! They are really expensive to buy and hard to find, so it might be nice to know how to make some.
they look fairly straightforward. 🤞 I will try to make some! ☺️
Got so many ideas from your work. They where really cool!
I love the matte black glaze. I think a crackle glaze and a metallic bronze glaze would also work for that ‘raku’ look. Also amaco CO8 dark star cosmos glaze. Something maybe to try next time :)
Ooh I’d be using dyed jute string for these, that string looks to thin! But I’m a worrier 😂😂
These are sick! ❤
Yes, olla tutorial would be awesome!!!
I'm loving these videos and I can relate to the lack of sculpting experience, the most sculpting I do is attaching intricate handles, other than that I don't touch it with a 10 foot pole
Haha yes I can relate :)
Is that plant a Delicious Monster? I don't know why yt suggested you, or pottery even, but I'm enjoying it. Thank you. Keep it up!
Snake pots, fantastic
That's a pothos! Those roots are aerial roots and in nature, they use them to climb trees. If you plant them with a moss pole they will climb and get bigger leaves. If you leave them be, the vines will hang.
Very interested in "ollas", please do a video! Thanks!
Will do!
I love those snakes and I'm not a snake fan. Well done!

if you plant again id recommend a layer of rocks and mesh or leca in the bottom
Great planters! Love the videos. Get well soon.
Thank you! I am better now :)
Love these! Would you share the glaze recipe?
40:31 Yes, I'd love to see an olla and see how it works. I've managed to keep some plants alive but I have 0 idea how to help them thrive without a bioactive enclosure

I hear ya! My 2 kids have been sick for a week now, no Corona though (tested them twice). Feel better soon!!! ❤
Uff I can't even imagine. No kids here. Hope they are better soon 😌

And BTW, I'm in my 70s and never did get The Rone. 😮
40:28 I would love to see you make that! I love your videos 🫶
I'll get on it :) Thank you!
Have you tried throwing upside down for this design might have worked
That's a good idea! I didn't consider it :)
I'm wondering if part of the time crunch is part of the drying time being included, since some things need to be leather hard and they use the drying room during counted time to achieve that...
Oh such a good episode! And would love to see you make one of those watering devices. In the meantime...Get better :-)!
Thank you! I am better now :)

They kinda look like li'l humanoid snakes in dresses carrying stuff.
Pretty cute.
Please make that nifty plant waterer!

Сначала я подумал, что это какая-то ссанина, но в интерьере это выглядит божественно! 👍
You're better off leaving the plant in a nursery pot with drainage that you set inside the planter :)
Beautiful planters
On the show, are they including their (much shorter) drying time in the time they give contestants?
No, I don't believe the drying time is deducted from the allotted time for creating.
Great work, thank you so much!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Love this series!
Use your electric kiln to mature you pieces. No necessary to have raku clay. Earthenware clay fired lower. An then put intosawdust
I agree I had Covid over a year ago but any sickness I have gotten since has been different then before Covid and one sickness I got a terrible cough that lasted wayyyy too long and lost my smell again like Covid

Hahaha my Menstruation cup is black, so that's so accurate 😂😂😂😂

oohhh I never thought to make a setup myself. Sound dangerous but I'll have to check him out! Thanks for the rec!
Thanks!
wow thank you! ❤️
Sorry about getting sick dang. Do you know where you got it and do you wear a mask? Bummer
Yes! 🥲 I’ve been wearing a mask still everywhere except the climbing gym so I’m sure I got it there ☹️ bad luck.
I think that you should have made a longer snake and wound it around the pot then have it hanging from the bottom of the pot.
Great pottery showdown is SO GOOD. Tell me you dont cry when he cries lmao
Haha I'm not sure I'm as emotional about ceramics as Keith, but it's sweet to see :)
@@PotterytothePeople I love the passion!
Lots of B vitamins
Helps with energy
very cool 😀
your look at 20:28 hahaha!
Raku is pronounced with a soft a and the accent is on the U
Did you ever train under someone as an apprentice or did you just get get bigger and bigger until you could get your own studio?
Not technically, but I worked a long time in community spaces where I learned from the more advanced members. :)
@@PotterytothePeople ahh makes sense. It's always interesting to see where potters come from
