In this week's Steal like an Artist video, I tried to recreate the work by the amazing ceramic artist Jacques Monneraud. His cardboard illusion pottery is truly mindblowing, so let's all LOL at me trying to work with precision, and in the end succeed, maybe.

Have you seen the other artist that basically actually makes corrugated cardboard out of clay and hand builds things and then tears them so they look so real. He makes mug and coasters and boxes. They look so real.
His name is Tim Kowalczyk
Yes! Tim is the expert of cardboard ceramics. He was there before Jack.
Yes I saw his work too! He is also great :)
I think the biggest difference is the intentional damage that Tim (@TimsCeramcis) does to make it look like old used cardboard. VS Jacks's Neat cardboard. I also have to point out the construction methods are very different as Tim's method actually builds "cardboard" structure out of multiple layers of thin (Think Paper clay) to allow for rips.
Tim Kowalczyk did an exhibition in the art center where I do pottery in central Illinois @mcacbloomington. His work is amazing and very realistic up close! I immediately thought of him when I saw your video!
He’s the OG! Love Tim’s work!
That "oh no this is the wrong way, cardboard wouldn't fold like that" moment is SO COOL, it feels like it's the whole point of the exercise of using a material to mimetise another, to see how it functions and study the differences between them, the limitations of each one etc. Amazing work!
Edit: even the places with the seams and the smushing at the corrugated edges works like actual cardboard would, it adds to the realism of it
Thank you! ❤️
Yay! Beautifully illustrating the concept of "transformation of material"!
A funny thing is, that I have made camera models out of cardboard. They're not working, but that might be the next step.
Art inspires art. We all learn from each other
for sure ❤️
@@PotterytothePeople I just found your channel and am thinking of taking some classes in town. I make little polymer things and air dry but want to make some usable stuff as well. I've enjoyed your personality and style. 💖
I think emulating another artist is a great way to learn. If you're not passing it off as your own original idea or faking their work, as it were, then I don't see a problem with it. As you point out that's how people are taught.
And how am I only just finding out you crochet too!? I potter and crochet!
hehe awesome! I crochet but only for fun :)
Yeah, I feel like using another person's style is perfectly ok. You aren't copying their art itself but using the style such as using a drawing style.
absolutely!! i think the idea that it's "bad" to copy someone else's art and styles comes mostly from younger generations in the digital art community, in which art theft has always been a huge problem. but i think it's extremely important to remember that sometimes, it is a very valuable technique to help learn!
They’re still profiting from the other artist’s work via this content, it doesn’t matter if they plan to sell the work or not. If they don’t get permission beforehand it’s IP theft.
No way. You're clearly pulling our leg. You swapped those with identical cardboard replicas when we weren't looking, right? great job!! I am in LOVE this this project. And you are right, the imperfections, *chefs kiss* - makes it look more authentic.
haha thank you so much!
YEARS ago I saw this ceramic mug that looked knitted and it's lived rent free in my head ever since. I love this!
I had the chance to see (and touch!) his work in Paris. My brain was having the hardest time because I was "seeing" cardboard but it "felt" heavy like clay. It's so strange and even more of an impressive feat in person!
Amazing job recreating Jacques' work and thank you for all your work on this channel, as a new hobbyist it's super helpful ❤
soo amazing you got to see them!! 😍
"i wish i made this on a bat" - no sentence is more relatable
hahaha
That’s so true. I started making everything bats for the very reason.
and after she says that doesnt decide to use one for the other pieces
WOW WOW WOW! I love the color change that makes it look like dirty cardboard. What a cool piece
Thanks so much 😊
love these steal like an artist videos! They really embody the joy of exploring the craft where you can surprise yourself with what you can do! All the best and looking forward to the next challenges
yay! I am enjoying doing them :)
i've seen him and his work the other week at a ceramic's market in paris. i wasn't brave enough to ask if i could touch them, but just looking at them in real life was already crazy enough - and i love your version, especially what the firing has done to it's colour!
Wow, how cool! I'd love to see his work in person 😍
I also was at that market, and I did get to manipulate the pieces, it is very crazy.
Beautiful 😍
I was in Paris at the Ceramic fair in Saint Sulpice on June 21st. I had been following him on instagram. I not only got to meet him but scored a beautiful piece. The pieces were flying off the shelves and I told him he’d likely be out of stock on the first day!!
As someone with cats, who love cardboard, I see a lot of fresh and then worn out cardboard. This totally looks like an in-between phase. Great work!
I'm also excited to go check out the other two cardboard ceramic artists. Thank you!
Now that is COOL! I have had to work with a lot of cardboard and.... the only thing to make it look 'realer' would be using some translucent glaze to give it stains along the bottom (from sitting in water), a few fake staples/staple holes, and a partial company logo (I would make a linoleum stamp, paint on opaque white glaze, let that dry and then use a stamp(s) to built a partial 'label', all to make it look more like reused cardboard.
there's nothing wrong with recreating art someone else has made as long as you're not trying to sell it as yours/pass it off as original. It's a great way to learn, it's fun to do, and it's a great way to connect to artists who we admire.
What I love about a good recipe or formula is that sometimes when all the layers come together it’s a huge surprise. Sort of feels like the result is a gift you didn’t know you were making for yourself. It’s a good feeling. You did pull it off. Well done.
wow that is so well said! exactly right.
I love how the stamped parts that got squished a little by accident now look like actual cardboard thats been knocked around
You made this with your own hands, it is yours. This is how art works - you see something, make it, and then make it again in a way that is your own.
I know there is a lot of discourse around it theft in art, but what you did here is in no way theft - it’s inspiration- and that’s how art works.
I'm in love! As someone that spend a good part of their 20s building things out of corrugated cardboard (like a life sized double bass) and learned to use ArtiosCAD to gain knowledge of how cardboard folds, never have I seen ceramics I want more than this.
Absolutely well done and thank you for introducing me to the work of Jaques Monneraud and, through the comment section, Tim Kowalczyk!
An idea for another artist you could steal from is Jim Fazio, aka ceramicjim. He throws with different colored clay and the results are pretty interesting!
My brain cannot compute how that must feel in your hands, I can't imagine it feeling like anything other than cardboard.
It's crazy how much work goes into making clay look like such a regular mundane material people use every day! Great job
Just discovered your channel through this video and I'm already in love with this series. I don't do pottery but as a painter I love to dissect and attempt to mimic other artists styles, it's such a big part of how we learn. You did a great job on this one and the imperfections really help sell the illusion
When you say “steal like an artist” I don’t know if you’re referencing just the phrase or the book. I had to reread the book over and over when I was in college for animation and it definitely turned my view on not just only other peoples’ ideas but also mine! Learning from others, and understanding how concepts come up and will be reused-all of that! I highly appreciate you taking on this project, especially since I personally struggled with the crafts like clay, but also because of you explaining why you do this! It’s encouraging to younger/newer artists who worry about their work being “bad” and compare themselves to the great artists, not knowing how they can learn from them and creating their own style! You did amazing with this project, you really gave it the cardboard illusion, it is super cool!
Something that I love about learning like this is recreating something really makes you appreciate how much work and dedication the original artist had to make the things they do. It just really makes you respect the work even more when you’ve been through it yourself
they look AMAZING
❤️❤️❤️
I'm stunned. You did an amazing job. You made it look doable.
Thank you! 😊
They came out fabulously! A wonderful homage
Your reaction to the end result is sooo wonderful! You must be so proud of yourself - these pieces are phenomenal 🎉❤
This is my first time visiting your channel after seeing this pop up on my recommended for a week or so. I’ve never seen the original artists work, but as someone without that comparison in mind, I just want to tell you how incredible you did! I think the “imperfections” make it even more convincing. I’ll definitely check out Jacques work (thanks to YOU!), but I just needed to tell you that you’ve done a wonderful job!
thumbnail only catches "Pot to Peo" and with what looks like a plant obstructing the o in people, it looks like it says "Pot to Pee" which is unintentionally hilarious.
Oh my gosh. The squished bits just make it so much more real! The look like the cardboard of my moving boxes 📦 ❤
This is gorgeous!!!! Tim K’s work is amazing. The way he uses transfers and decals is just amazing.
They turned out great. As functional pieces though, getting liquid stuck in the corrugation holes would drive me crazy.
Did you consider doing tests for the glaze?
I would have but I didnt have time for when I wanted to publish the video 😅 Youre right i think they are rather conceptual than functional 🙃
Yesterday I was thinking about your channel and videos and how much I enjoy watching them. And today I see your video in my feed. I am in bliss
The amount of detail in his art is just amazing.
I think this is the first pottery video I've ever watch, have to say this is really cool!! Also the cups could totally be fraternal twins, they got the vibes :3
Beautiful! Thank you for recreating these 🙏🏼
This is so cool! It’s wonderful to reverse engineer a work of art and then make your own in on it. It’s like you said, it’s a way to learn something new about the process and your own work. A few ceramic artists I’ve recently learned of whose works are cool include: Yoonjee Kwak, Shino Takeda, Emma Kaye, Maggie Boyd, The Kondō Family of Ceramicists, and Lisa Conrad.
You totally smashed it! Fantastic.
Yay, thank you!
Impressive! Never seen his work before but you’ve showcased him perfectly. Thanks Mia. Et chapeau, Jaques.
i've just found your channel and this is the first video i've seen from you, and i'm already hooked! i absolutely love the video style, and the final product looked insanely cool! excited to watch more :D
It's interesting to know that the material you are actually working to make is known as "Corrugated Paper Board." Cardboard is technically paper pulp that is pressed into a solid board (or cardstock).
Hi! I started watching your Channel about 2 days ago and I already really love what you do
Amazing!!!! My jaw dropped when it came out of the kiln.
holy smokes! I was thinking the wet versions looked pretty darn good already....but the firing took them from "dang that's cool!" to "H. F. S. Look at that! wow!"
I am so impressed! Well Done!
This attempt was amazing! You've done beautiful work!
That was truly amazing to watch your process even if you were recreating someone's work. I definitely didn't expect it and I'm glad to have stumbled upon you. Thank you so much for sharing, truly amazing work.
I work with cardboard for living and I like how your project came out. It is not as accurate as the reference but it gets its own charm. Thumbs up!
This is amazing!!! You knocked it out of the park!!!!! Kudos to you!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
This is incredible! Love that you try new things and challenge yourself 🧡
I think you definitely pulled it off, they look great!
wow this is all so amazing! as non-artist, I find the process fun and very informative I hope you continue making videos like this ❤
Love this series. Would love to see you tackle Sarah Pike Pottery next! Handbuilding with texture stamps ❤
You already framed it fine. You've made it clear whos work it is and I respect that. I also totally agree you learn more from trying to work out how something was done.
This is completely amazing! I am waiting to be able to buy a vase from him and complete obsessed with what you did!
wow, you did an amazing job and i learned so much from you learning from jacques! well done!
Special thanks to Squarespace for sponsoring this video
i like that imperfect finish
The imperfections only made this more perfect!! I really love it when people get so creative with their craft
as a knitter and crocheter, what immediately went through my mind when you were talking about being nervous about whether the "tape" would work, was "swatch it." Would that work in this application (ie on a scrap piece of clay or something)? I've never done pottery before.
The final result looked great, the only problem (which I noticed in the original artist's work too) is that for the stamped rings around the sides you wouldn't get the end grain corrugation around the entire ring as if the corrugation ran radially outword.
Jaw dropping... absolutely astounding work!
this is the first video ive seen from this channel, im not really even into pottery but that's really cool
Haven't ever heard of this pottery style and I'm a bit off that topic in general but omg that looks so incredible! Looks like I randomly found my favorite pottery style
Also I think your pieces turned out pretty awesome, great job!!
Wow, those turned out amazingly well!
that is so cool! I'm really glad it turned out in the end. It definitely felt like a "trust the process" kind of project til the very end and omg it turned out so cool!
This is so pretty, a set of teapot and little cups would be so dreamy,imma try them!
This is so cool! Great job. They turned out really good.
next time you try you should make multiple cardboard layers for the handle, as if they were glued together so it would maybe feel safer to hold
i took a pottery wheel class for the first time earlier this month and WOW!! i cannot imagine how difficult this was. You are so talented!! sharing your inspirations has inspired me! let me try and get back to the wheel!! you slayed fr.
Enjoying getting to see you have fun with your craft
thanks for watching!
The color made SUCH a difference!!!
Seeing the colouration at the end was just... *chef's kiss 🤌🏻* I spent the last few minutes of the video geeking over the final product together with you 🤩 it looks fantastic!
The blushing made it better like holy cow that looks amazing
It turned out so well! Great video, now I really want to get into clay again!
this was wonderful to watch
When you opened the kiln, it made me so so happy!!! Like we achieved something ahah! Well done to you and kudos to the mega artist 😊
Yay, thank you!
The play on materiality is so cool!! And WOOOOW they look so convincing after the firing! Somehow the blushing makes it look like wet cardboard with the coloration hahahaha You should make a clay project that looks like the crochet you make haha
that turned out amazing !!
They. Are. GORGEOUS!
What a neat project! You pulled it off for sure, it really looks like corrugated cardboard.
Omg you DEFINITELY pulled that off! It looks awesome! I love this series, cant wait for the next one.
Thats so cool. Good work!
girl you said crochet right as i was working on a crochet project!!!!
You did an amazing job! As someone who works with cardboard a lot you perfectly captured the look of cardboard that's been through the ringer ("been through the ringer" is not an insult I promise, something made of cardboard like that would get beat up so it looks pretty perfect)
I like these a lot. Well done.
Yeah that came out really nicely. Well done 😁
I loved the outcome! It IS amazing what you can do with clay! Thank you for a great video!
Thanks for your kind words! 🥰
these turned out soooo cool! You're such an inspiration!!
Thank you so much!!
Those look incredible !! 🎉🎉
My toxic trait is thinking I could do this with no training whatsoever when I most definitely cannot. Amazing work, I look forward to more videos!
OMG! I had not seen that reel - and wow wow WOW!
go check out his work! its like what I did here but BETTER 😅
You a such a bubbly soul, must be to be around, Nice work..
Amazing work!!
Love it, I think tape glaze, and maybe even recycle logos and manufacturer labels would help sell the illusion even further. Like what if it looked like it was made out of old Amazon Prime boxes or Little Caesar’s pizza boxes.
Love your work. I am learning a great deal.
beautiful work!!
great video
imagine someone made this but with super heavy metal like "bro can you get me that box over there" "yeah bro -wtf its so heavy"
perfection through imperfection. really adds to the illusion that its made out of cardboard
i've never watched a pottery chanel before but this was so fun and interesting. i love the video and the final product!
