I love the minimalist style of these pieces. I handbuild but I don’t make much functional pottery. This was great. I may try these for Christmas gifts.
I enjoy your videos that make me want to get (back) into clay. (It's been a long time.) Question ... why compress after rolling out clay? What does that do for it, other than smoothing it out a bit?

Newbie here, in the storage jar tutorial, you wipe the bottoms of the jars and lids for glaze firing, but then when you show them after firing, they are glazed all over. Are you doing a second glaze firing, what am I missing? Thanks!
Just bought these for my girlfriend's birthday as a fun activity for us both to try. I may have missed something but do you have any recommendations of how much clay to prepare for each project?
I love these pieces!!! Your space always looks so clean and organized!! I’ve always been told that you have to wrap handbuilt pieces in plastic for quite a while until it’s bone dry. I see you just covered your pieces with a towel. Is it humid or dry in your area? Thanks. If you don’t know if the person has an area where the sponge will drain into you can put little raised feet on the top of the dish where the sponge will sit! Great tutorials and templates. Every time I’ve ever made lids like this they warp so badly. The thickness of the two slabs together makes that middle part dry sooo slowly while the overlapping part dries quickly. Any suggestions?
Wrapping the pieces just comes down to your clay and your climate. My space is pretty humid (in a basement), so it works well. Just try things out and you'll figure out what your clay tolerates :)
An unsolicited comment. The thing you have that no one else has is your delightful personality. This is why we watch your channels. Are these template videos just a bit too dry? I understand the purpose of this channel as opposed to your other channel, but just a bit more fun, please :) Just a thought. Thank you for all you do.

They would make lovely Christmas gifts! 😍
Thank you for sharing all your knowledge!
Glad it was helpful!

These are so cute! Going to get your templates and get going.
You can make your own templates using a ruler & paper...
Circles use from a Pickle jar, bowl, etc....

Can you tell please what pigment do you use?

nope I am not doing a second glaze firing, the bottoms are wiped free of glaze!

Great templates! and a really enjoyable video. Is your wedging board plaster? It's so beautifully smooth!
It's canvas wrapped around a wooden board. I have a tutorial to make them over on my main channel @potterytothepeople :)

These jars, I can see issues with ants getting in & keeping things fresh, the tops are not totally even.
Maybe add a silicone bead
For sure, they are NOT air tight! It just depends what you are storing. Stuff like salt or wrapped sweets are fine in a non-airtight container.
