This was really helpful and I didn’t mind the lack of editing. You’re practical, friendly, and wonderful for sharing your wisdom and experience! Thank you!
Love your videos. Love them unedited. I learn so much from you and your positive creative spirit..just makes you so darn personal and fun to learn from.
Hello from 5 years later! I heard about you on an episode of the potters cast #777 Jaspreet Kaur. She and the host had such nice things to say about you, I had to check your videos out. They were right! I learned something new and I really enjoyed your video, so thank you for sharing! I look forward to learning more from your videos from now on!
You asked what other topics we would like to see. I’d LOVE LOVE LOVE if you’d do a video of painting and layering glazes. Not dipped or poured. I don’t have the set up for that but I’d love some tips from you on painted on layers Thanks lady. Love your videos!
I'm new to pottery and very happy to have found your videos. You are an absolute doll to watch and learn from. Keep them coming and as the other comments say, it is like hanging out with a good friend.
I can not believe I hadn’t thought to make my own sprig molds!!! I have made them with polymer clay, wax and by mixing cornstarch with caulking! But never this. On my way out to do this now!!
Jessica....I know this is an older video, and you may not see this.....but...how do you keep sprigs from warping if you don’t use them immediately? I make many sprigs at once to use on tiles....but sometimes they warp. Also, I agree with everyone else, no music. It actually detracts (and cheapens?) your videos. THANK YOU for making sprigs from clay...it was hard to find a video where anyone make them without plaster! I LOVE your videos and I have learned so much from you!
Nice, your essentially making your own ceramic mold stamps. Cool to get all those 3D texture affects on vases, pots,..etc. You can also fire the positive or negative molds to get indents as another affect basically your unlimited in what you can add for 3D designs provided you have a starter sculpture/initial object you want to uses. If you don't have a starter object your going to need to sculpt it from scratch. Very creative ideas as you could buy textured rollers but why if you can make your own with any design you want. Cool Cool Cool
Thanks for your video Jessica - really clear explanations.😊. What is the smooth board material you are using please ? I’m forever having patterns in my slabs
I just discovered your videos and I am so glad I did. It is so nice to see an unedited spur of the moment attitude. Also, your range of subjects is incredible. Keep up the great videos and beautiful work.
Thanks for your videos Jessica. I like the no music better. You keep a running, detailed commentary of what's happening with the clay and in your thinking about it. Love it. and and music makes it harder to concentrate and follow. I too encourage you to not edit your videos. I feel like you are my friend, right there across the table from me in the way you do your videos. editing would mess that up. I'm planning on carving some sprigs, as I'm really into the sgraffito right now. So this was a great intro. Thanks a bunch!
I don't edit my videos either - I don't know how and I don't have the time also - but I think that is fine - it keeps them fresh and friendly. I love your work and way of working.
Probably you know it, you're very special, I like your tutorials, about your sprig molds, i'd like to mention; instead of using slib, I think it's better to use vinegar, because there will not be too much clay round your sprig mold? Thank you for your nice and fine exclamations. You do it fine. Pieter in Belgium Europe
I loved when you accidently dropped your daughters art. Lol! That was so real. Glad you didn't edit it. Maybe, you should do a blooper video. Love your work.
I just place it onto the table with the clay side down and gently lift up the end of the fondant mold and pull it off of the clay and it releases easily without damage to the clay.
If you make a sprig mold that you used cooking oil or wd30 on, but it didn't work out, can you still reclaimed or even immediately reuse the clay with the oil on it?
Hello, I need hellllppp. I new to pottery and my clay smells like it has mold .. I came home today and one of the piece I made has white mold on it what do I do.
I find it better to spray the clay instead of the object. It keeps from missing small areas which eventually stick to the clay. I haven’t had any trouble using it in reclaimed clay works.
What is the green surface you are working on? And, I open have trouble removing the sprig from the mold, especially the small ones, how do you keep it from sticking? Enjoyed your video.
I too like the real time videos. When you say, ‘“here’s the object I found and then just show what the finished mold looks like, we miss seeing the pressure you used to make it, how you had to use a knife to lift it out and you know it’s not a disaster when it sticks. How you picked it up and moved it to a fresh bat and more. There are many videos of potters throwing a pot on a wheel. They speed up the video so you have no idea how long it took them to make the pot, how fast the wheel was going, hand positions, pressure. So many details are lost. It is not possible to do something just exactly how someone else does it but it gives one a real time demonstration. Oh, and repetitive background music is unnecessary and to me annoying. I would rather hear you give more instructional pointers.
I love how informal this was :). It held my attention a lot more than heavily edited and scripted videos. x
Thank you and I am glad you enjoyed it!
The Vase is Beautiful. Make more like that.Thanks
thank you for being such a generous artist.
You are the Bob Ross of pottery.
That is the nicest thing anyone could say to me! :)
This was really helpful and I didn’t mind the lack of editing. You’re practical, friendly, and wonderful for sharing your wisdom and experience! Thank you!
Your work is beautiful!!!
The lights were fine On..
Thank you for teaching!!💜
You are such a natural when making your videos that I don't think you need to edit. You make such beautiful things with such great ideas.
thank you! :)
Jess you are so awesome . I dig your enthusiasm

You do such a great job - you don't need editing

I can do that. I do have a few painting on glaze classes on my website tv.clayshare.com if you want to check that out in the meantime. :)
Love the sprig as a handle idea. Love your honesty and your bluntness is very nicely said.
Thankyou for your video; i enjoyed your natural way of talking so don’t worry about edits.
Informative and helpful
I've actually done this but didn't know what it was called... thanks so much
Thanks a lot, very informative video
A great deal of information and your attitude is wonderful.
You're a great teacher!!!
So awesome!!!!!! Thank you I'm going to be be making a lot of them ;)
you are fantastic and I love your videos! life is too short to edit videos! make more pottery 😄
I agree...don't edit!
I loved your video. You were entertaining and very informative.
I just love this. I have several pieces that would love to copy. Thank you.
Great videos. I learned all kinds of tricks. Thank you for the inspiration!
I'm new to pottery and very happy to have found your videos. You are an absolute doll to watch and learn from. Keep them coming and as the other comments say, it is like hanging out with a good friend.
Thanks for this. I like your approach and I also like the no music better.
Zowie! Your pieces are spectacular! So inventive! Really fun. Ty.
I can not believe I hadn’t thought to make my own sprig molds!!! I have made them with polymer clay, wax and by mixing cornstarch with caulking! But never this. On my way out to do this now!!
Jessica this is so cool! Thank you so much for sharing!
Enjoy your presentations. How do you add back the detail once you have pressed it on the cup?
Jessica....I know this is an older video, and you may not see this.....but...how do you keep sprigs from warping if you don’t use them immediately?

THANK YOU for making sprigs from clay...it was hard to find a video where anyone make them without plaster! I LOVE your videos and I have learned so much from you!
Great tips once again. Appreciated my first introduction to wet sanding. So much safer. Thanks again.
full of life - lovely to watch :) greetings from Denmark
Love you you are great teacher

Love your videos so relaxed but informative
I just made a few of these for my ceramics class! I have an independent study and wanted to have some new tools for when I make some pieces!
Thanks for your video Jessica - really clear explanations.😊. What is the smooth board material you are using please ? I’m forever having patterns in my slabs
I love your work! And as another commenter stated, you have a great personality for this! And the information is spot on! Thank you so much!
It's so much fun to watch you. Thank you :) Great Job. Lot a learn.
Thank you for sharing your expertise with all of us!!!
I love your videos. They are so refreshing and you explain very clear. Thank you! NL Irmgard
very cool great teacher xo
Thank you!!! It was amazing!! ❤️

Very nice video.
Great fun!
Yoo're a nice lady! I like yoo! I'm a cat learning to make sprig molds, fankoo.
Thanks for your videos Jessica. I like the no music better. You keep a running, detailed commentary of what's happening with the clay and in your thinking about it.

Thank you, so much:) I enjoyed your video and thanks for sharing with us.
You're an awesome potter
😍😍😍 Love that hair! 👌
Good job!
cool video.. gave me ideas
You don't need to edit your video. You did a great job. I enjoyed and learned a lot. Thanks for sharing.
if u want to go crazy with this, it makes beautiful embossed illustrations... i wonder if she knows... the vase is amazin too thanks.
Great info! Thanks you!
I don't edit my videos either - I don't know how and I don't have the time also - but I think that is fine - it keeps them fresh and friendly. I love your work and way of working.
Please don't edit your videos! I feel like I am sitting in your studio when you hop up to get something! I am really enjoying your instructions!
What is the green surface you are working on? Thanks for the great lessons you give.
do you have to cover this cup now after you’ve add the sprig?
Thank you!!! Thank you!! I'm enjoying your videos and learning a lot. Thanks for sharing!
Is wooden roller better or a marble roller better to roll slabs of clay
Can you attach those kinds of clay pieces to a slip molded piece?
Probably you know it, you're very special, I like your tutorials, about your sprig molds, i'd like to mention; instead of using slib, I think it's better to use vinegar, because there will not be too much clay round your sprig mold? Thank you for your nice and fine exclamations. You do it fine. Pieter in Belgium Europe
Could you use the non stick spray for getting better details when applying texture ?
Love you videos. Please don't change them.
What is the green flat mat you are using?
it is a cutting mat, you can buy them at art and craft shops
So cute
How did you make the grenade Iook metallic?
I loved when you accidently dropped your daughters art. Lol! That was so real. Glad you didn't edit it. Maybe, you should do a blooper video. Love your work.
Velinda Butler ...I agree! A blooper video would be good! NOT that Jessica has many bloopers.
Frances Gribbon Yes, she’s a master at her craft. I appreciate that she share it.
Would you be able to use polymer clay (Sculpey) for your molds? Possibly less shrinkage.
Muito lindo Amei de mais ❤❤
I’m having trouble getting the clay out of my fondant molds. Did you spay the mold you used for your daughter’s skull?
Mary Verrette ...I also have a hard time releasing from a fondant mold...especially without distortion.
If the clay is more dry that really helps.
I just place it onto the table with the clay side down and gently lift up the end of the fondant mold and pull it off of the clay and it releases easily without damage to the clay.
Very fun, Jessica. I like your affirmational attitude about making art. Do you ever use low fire clay for hand-building? Ty. ❤️
hi, how do you get rid of the oil that stays on the mold impression? doesnt this interfere in the firing?
If you make a sprig mold that you used cooking oil or wd30 on, but it didn't work out, can you still reclaimed or even immediately reuse the clay with the oil on it?
I thought you shouldn't use an exacto on a plaster bat so as to not get particles in the clay or score the bat?
Hi Jessica, where did you get a surface without texture. I’ve been unable to find one. Thanks
Hello, I need hellllppp. I new to pottery and my clay smells like it has mold .. I came home today and one of the piece I made has white mold on it what do I do.
Working on some commissioned work that needs to be a bit fussy...I loved this...hugely helpful.
what is the green surface you are working on
I find it better to spray the clay instead of the object. It keeps from missing small areas which eventually stick to the clay. I haven’t had any trouble using it in reclaimed clay works.
Thank you!
Добрый день. Спасибо что Вы есть.😊. Клеить на подсохшее изделие можно ?🤔
I like you a lot you are great lady thanks for everything .first time I sou your video I subscribed your channel,
Could you use plaster? Could you please give me the stoneware clay recipe link? Or a video of how to make it?
Thanks for the great video! Your so charming and beautiful :)
very good if i could hear you
Ha! Idea! You could do a sprig mold of the cameo, &turn it in to a grenade! Talk about juxta!
What is the green surface you are working on? And, I open have trouble removing the sprig from the mold, especially the small ones, how do you keep it from sticking?
Enjoyed your video.
Kathlyn Johnson I really want to know as well : )
She said she is using a "slab mat". And to keep them from sticking she uses Pam cooking spray or similar
Haha - make a granade vase! :D
the music adds nothing
Love your videos, got to give this a try. Not really a fan of the music.
Let's hear it for child labor - lol - get that girl to start making mugs!
I prefer without music
I too like the real time videos.

Thank you so much for your feedback. I try to show the entire process including my failures. I feel we learn more from mistakes that sucesses! :)
Please no music. We are here for you, not the music.
