I don't understand why you didn't make saucers. What happen if it's not exactly the same as the pot? Is it just for the esthetic? I would not mind it. I prefer that over adding a plastic saucer or one that doesn't match at all. I vote for saucers with the rest of the reclaim!
I was taught to throw planters with a narrower bottom than the top. If the plant gets root bound, it can come out of the pot without having to break the pot or ruin the plant. Food for thought.
I paint, rather than pottery, but I have a couple of damaged canvases that I'm currently cutting into pieces to assemble onto greeting cards, so it feels a bit like "reclaim" as well.
Number 7 was my favorite. I love how the final pots turned out! Such a fun video concept & gorgeous work as always. I particularly enjoyed the background music as well.
2 was my favourite! And 7 was my second favourite 😆 it may have been big box store-esque but I think between the reclaim and your throwing it would have ended up being cool and unique
what a cool approach! this reminded me of having to use up all my yarn scraps. i’d love to see more “viewer’s choice” videos if you’re up for them! maybe throw an announcement on youtube so we can all head to instagram for voting? or maybe you did and i missed it? either way, nice vid!
Mia, have you tried firing white and blue glaz on the same piece? I feel like that could be cool, even ifnits just a rim accent and drippy. Thank you for the amazing content as always ❤
I think a good way to use up alot of reclaim is to make some Japanese tea mugs. The shape is pretty easy, but what makes them stand out is the glaze, so basically its 2 birds with 1 stone thing. It's a good good way to practice making some unique glazes and use up thay reclaim.
Thanks in part to you, I'll be taking my first beginner pottery-throwing class in a couple weeks. :) It includes the clay, and glazing and firing up to three pieces you make. I'm excited. If I like it enough I may take one of their multi-class beginner courses and/or get membership at the local nonprofit art studio it takes place in so I can make more things.
Number one was my favourite, but I don't think I had come across your channel yet in 2020 so I didn't know you had already done that shape a lot. Love the idea of reusing as much as possible and the result is gorgeous!
5 was my favorite! Such a lovely shape, but I also really like the one that won! The blue came out absolutely gorgeous and the white is also really pretty. Will absolutely be getting one if they're still available this weekend!
I like 2, 4, 5, and 6; and the blue glaze. Because I like there to be a sense of secruity when I pick up a potted plant, the pots whose rims are wider ( or which had a narrow waist) are the ones I like. But after thinking about getting a plant out of it, I narrowed it down to 4 and 7.
I'm glad you kept #4 in the first round, because I was thinking 'how easy is it to transplant something out of or into the pot' and that one has a relatively narrow base with a wide brim that makes transplanting easy!
5 is my favorite! I also liked 1, 2 and 7 but these were the first ones you smashed! Have you tried making bonsai pots or pots with similar geometry - wide and shallow? I think there is a market of bonsai enthusiasts or people that want something different than the typical planter where the height is about the same as the diameter.
I tape heavy paper to the outside of my splash pan when I’m trimming pots. I ended up buying the trimming grip on Amazon that’s less than half the cost of the GG, and I love it-what a time saver!!
You could have made two polls of 4 planters each, then made a poll of the two winners against each other! That way you could have put all 8 up for a poll!
I like 1, 5, 7, and 8. Though i am choosing based on what i think my plants roots would enjoy living in, not purely aesthetics. Also knowing they don’t have saucers, i am pretending they are outer pots that would have nursery pots inside. Personally, i find it harder to find suitable saucers than it is to find pots (second hand). So i am currently short on saucers. I would therefore rather have an outer pot with no drainage holes (like to use the whole pot as a saucer) and keep the plastic inner pot that can be removed for drainage.
2) thrown in one piece? Several of your bags of reclaim seem to have enough to make more than one piece out of them. Also, you can make planters with built-in dishes, have you never done that?
I’ve just paused the video and if the white glaze with the breaking and speckles and perfection doesn’t win imma be sad. Edit: the above was posted before the all option was introduced! Also lovely outcome, the blue is also lush!
1, 5/2, and 7/8 were my faves in that order ! edit: only one survived the purge !!! also, i think the reason 1 was my favourite is because it was wider and more shallow, which i prefer when potting my succulents edit again: they turned out so beautiful!!!
Just if its any background info, my reasoning for liking #8 the best is that it was just the *perfect* shaped pot. Even though it feels like its easy to find a pot shaped like that at a commercial store, in reality its frustrating and saddening because the ones sold in stores are usually always either too simple or too trendy, but to me a pot that shape was great because it was wide to fit a plant with very ample space for root growth and circular which gave it a very cute stout feel, but the practicalness of it didnt make it too flashy which is what im always looking for, but! I do understand that my opinions are very specific so im not too hurt and understand the value and business decision to go with a popular vote.
The You can see the making of this planter here link on the product page for these planters on your website doesn't seem to be working for me? Maybe it's just me.
Different glaze colors to work with might be nice. Nothing against your style, but more to play with or contrast things you already do often or to highlight them.
They look soo beautiful. Maybe im stupid, but Theres one Thing im wondering about. When the water goes Out of the hole in the bottom, should'nt there be a way to escape to the side for the water? Otherweise its stuck under the Vase, isnt it?
make two polls to cover all 8 pots: (: squishing half the pots because a single poll can only have 4: ): /lighthearted but i just thought that was a bit funny, the 4 you kept were pretty good choices! and i loved your thought process for choosing
Am I wrong in saying isn’t reclaim the same as new clay as long as its not fired? As long as you wedge and let the clay dry to throwing consistency? Im not a potter but like watching the vids
2 was my favorite and she smashed it first!
Totally and 7 was my 2nd fav! Oh well.
Me too!
Same!
same
Same
I don't understand why you didn't make saucers. What happen if it's not exactly the same as the pot? Is it just for the esthetic? I would not mind it. I prefer that over adding a plastic saucer or one that doesn't match at all. I vote for saucers with the rest of the reclaim!
Especially since the customer knows they're getting a handmade pot made from reclaimed clay!! Surely a mismatched saucer is part of the charm?
1 was my fav because it was wider
I know
I like my planters rather wide and not too tall and narrow, so 1 and 7 were my favourites... rest in peace 😂
I was taught to throw planters with a narrower bottom than the top. If the plant gets root bound, it can come out of the pot without having to break the pot or ruin the plant. Food for thought.
Yes I'm watching this wondering how you get the plant out of all of these
Lol yup that's what I was thinking
@erikaplante-jean7745 some people just have a plastic pot inside ceramic pot for design.
i loved #8 so much; he was perfect TwT
Same! I hope our round boi can make a come back
Same
With the color combo it reminded me of a honey pot and it was so darn cute!!!
I paint, rather than pottery, but I have a couple of damaged canvases that I'm currently cutting into pieces to assemble onto greeting cards, so it feels a bit like "reclaim" as well.
Ooh fun, were they damaged after you used them or prior to painting?
2 was my favourite, of course that one got smooshed first🤣
The blue glaze looks fabulous
Same here 😂
2 and 8 looked like an absolute dream to me, they were beautiful
Number 7 was my favorite. I love how the final pots turned out! Such a fun video concept & gorgeous work as always. I particularly enjoyed the background music as well.
Ohh no! You literally squished all my favorites haha 😅
2 was my favourite! And 7 was my second favourite 😆 it may have been big box store-esque but I think between the reclaim and your throwing it would have ended up being cool and unique
1 was my favourite. 🐨👍 - adding - blue.
what a cool approach! this reminded me of having to use up all my yarn scraps. i’d love to see more “viewer’s choice” videos if you’re up for them! maybe throw an announcement on youtube so we can all head to instagram for voting? or maybe you did and i missed it? either way, nice vid!
1 and 8 were my favorite 😂
the way you squished all my favorites 😭😭😭😭😭 but I love them all
I think 1 or 8 are my favorite planters. I like a wide planter with a soft rounded shape ❤
Lol it was funny to share my faves before the Great Squashening because neither of them survived. RIP 😂
noooo not number 2! That was my favourite! also loved 1 and 7 😅
Mia, have you tried firing white and blue glaz on the same piece? I feel like that could be cool, even ifnits just a rim accent and drippy. Thank you for the amazing content as always ❤

5 was my favorite! Such a lovely shape, but I also really like the one that won! The blue came out absolutely gorgeous and the white is also really pretty. Will absolutely be getting one if they're still available this weekend!
I would have loved to see a half white and half natural glaze maybe with blue inside. Next time 😊
I think my choices were exactly as you chose, so that was perfect! 😅 Love the blue and the wiggly shape of the final planters!
Not the shape I would have chosen, but they are soooo lovely! You are such an inspiration!
3, 4, 5 & 8 were my favorites, mainly 3 & 4
I like 2, 4, 5, and 6; and the blue glaze. Because I like there to be a sense of secruity when I pick up a potted plant, the pots whose rims are wider ( or which had a narrow waist) are the ones I like. But after thinking about getting a plant out of it, I narrowed it down to 4 and 7.
#3 was my favorite right away! 😊
YOURE SO FREAKING TALENTED AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
My flower pots never have a draining hole. I use plastic pots in them.
Three and Five are my favorites. Five I think looks wonderfully reminiscent of a bamboo culm without imitating it in detail.
I wanted planters too when you showed us the options 4:55 I like 3 & 7 17:47 white 19:17 yay!
6 and 8 were stunning
I'm glad you kept #4 in the first round, because I was thinking 'how easy is it to transplant something out of or into the pot' and that one has a relatively narrow base with a wide brim that makes transplanting easy!
The final outcome is great! Loved that you did white and blue as options.
Great idea. I personally throw the dish attached. Then put holes in the side to drain the pot. Loved #4 and the blue is amazing.
I liked three the best, but I would’ve chosen a different set for the shape poll
Loved the classic look of 8, but the final product was awesome!
The blue glaze on these is so stunning.
5 is my favorite! I also liked 1, 2 and 7 but these were the first ones you smashed!
Have you tried making bonsai pots or pots with similar geometry - wide and shallow? I think there is a market of bonsai enthusiasts or people that want something different than the typical planter where the height is about the same as the diameter.

Pot number 8!! Would be great for indoor plant even without a dish if you make the pot waterproof!!
My favorites are 1, 3, 7, & 8. I love all of them. My least favorite is 2, but I still kinda like it.
You could have made two polls of 4 planters each, then made a poll of the two winners against each other! That way you could have put all 8 up for a poll!
Nooo, so close! :D My faves were 3, 5, 6 & 8
edit: Ooh, the white glaze really brings out all the different qualities of the clay :O Beautiful!
1 was my favorite
2 and 7 were my favorits... 1, 8 also. From them which were left no. 4.
i looved 3 too, as well as number 8!!
I like 1, 5, 7, and 8.
Though i am choosing based on what i think my plants roots would enjoy living in, not purely aesthetics.

Returning post smash to cry
2) thrown in one piece? Several of your bags of reclaim seem to have enough to make more than one piece out of them. Also, you can make planters with built-in dishes, have you never done that?
#1 and #7 are definitely my favourites :>
1,2 and 5 were my favorite ones
I’ve just paused the video and if the white glaze with the breaking and speckles and perfection doesn’t win imma be sad. Edit: the above was posted before the all option was introduced! Also lovely outcome, the blue is also lush!
Three and seven were my favorites lol
1, 5/2, and 7/8 were my faves in that order !
edit: only one survived the purge !!!
also, i think the reason 1 was my favourite is because it was wider and more shallow, which i prefer when potting my succulents
edit again: they turned out so beautiful!!!
If you make a splash pan extension out of plexiglass/ acrylic it would not block the video
Beautiful results!
1, 2, 5 and 6 were my favorite
"You're not gonna choose this one anyway" - me looking at my fav #8 🥲 lol 😂😂❤️
hahah oh nooooo
Just if its any background info, my reasoning for liking #8 the best is that it was just the *perfect* shaped pot.

I do understand that my opinions are very specific so im not too hurt and understand the value and business decision to go with a popular vote.
7 was the best one. You picked 3 flared top ones (which I personally dislike). The one that ended up being picked was my favorite of the remaining 4.
1 is my favorite then 8 then 3
i like 5 with that middle point, feels unique but classy
My favorites in order: 6, 2, 1, 5
They all turned out so cute!
pot #1 for me, slim topped pots are hard to fit with plants i find. sorry for my english:)
I have a 5 gal bucket about half filled with reclaim, should probably get on that soon 😅
The You can see the making of this planter here link on the product page for these planters on your website doesn't seem to be working for me? Maybe it's just me.
Of the original 8, number 1 was my favorite
We want saucers! Mismatching clay is perfectly fine? I don't think anyone would really be bothered by that? I definitely wouldn't. I liked #2 @5:06
Of the first round, I like 3, 5, 7, & 8!
2 was my first favorite. and 6 was my second. and 8 was my 3rd lol. thankfully 6 was safe.
Back to the drawing board, planters need to be wider on the top, make the saucers with the same batch that you do the planter.
8 was my favorite and 3 was my second favorite. So long 8.
I save every scrap and use it to make something! I totally get it!

They look soo beautiful. Maybe im stupid, but Theres one Thing im wondering about. When the water goes Out of the hole in the bottom, should'nt there be a way to escape to the side for the water? Otherweise its stuck under the Vase, isnt it?
Oh I loved 1, 2, 6 and 7. Three squished but 7 made the cut 🙌
this was amazing! looking forward to more projects!!
2 and 8 were my favorite
1 and 8 were mine
what is the brand/name of the blue one? I really like it and cannot seem to find a blue that is really blue when fired.
Mia, what is wrong with using the reclaim for 'decent' projects? It is nicer to work with and comes out really good...
3 was my favorite too!
5 is my favourite!!
I like 1 and 6. although i like the bambooish shape of 5 as well
Oh no, you squashed 2 of my favourites, lol, love the dark, beautiful 😊
I think tape or "clay" your paper to the outside of the splash pan to give you more room on the inside.
1, 7 and 8 are my choice
make two polls to cover all 8 pots: (:
squishing half the pots because a single poll can only have 4: ):
/lighthearted but i just thought that was a bit funny, the 4 you kept were pretty good choices! and i loved your thought process for choosing
6 and 2 were my favs
White and blue
omgg wish u did the poll here on yt
Do you make your own glazes? Or is the blue one bought from a store? It looks stunning!
3 and 8 were my original favourites so similar that I couldn't decide. Its funny your favourite was mine.
I like 1 & 7 best!
I LOVE 1 and 8, make me smile looking at them
edit: 1 and 8 NOOOOOOOOOOOO!
2 was by far my favorite. 😢
Am I wrong in saying isn’t reclaim the same as new clay as long as its not fired? As long as you wedge and let the clay dry to throwing consistency? Im not a potter but like watching the vids
Oh I understand the problem now. What causes the reclaim to be different colours? Is it contaminated or does the seller sell different clay each sale?
Love the blue.
My favs are 2 and 6
