This is the most delightful pottery project I've seen in a long time. You need to collab with Simone Giertz and make a super-complicated machine using ceramics and robotics. And HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!!!
The beginning of this video has big Jenna Marbles energy in the best way. It's wonderful to see how your channel is growing and your videos are getting more ambitious! The end result was so satisfying to watch and to hear. The clinking clay sounds really add something special. Can't wait to see what you make next!
This was great. I like all your videos, but your enthusiasm here made it particularly fun. The sound of the ball rolling and dropping was the best part of this machine. I wouldn't have expected useful lessons from a Rube Goldberg machine build, but your technique for building a large structure will come in handy: as tiles with features made spanning several tiles and then cut apart for firing. Brilliant.
I laughed so hard at the end watching all your attempts... I mean, this is real entertainment for ceramic worshipers! 😆 So cool, Mia! And happy belated birthday 💛
Such a fun project and as always, you have such happy, easy-going energy (even when anxious/nervous)! I love that you made a more sculptural tiling piece! ❤ 🎉
And it makes such a nice sound lol Wait can you make music with something like that? Can you even predict how it'll sound based on the slab thickness or shape? Anyways, great job!
What an amazing project! The fact it (mostly) worked when you had one shot at getting it right is so impressive! Love how sensory it is with plinking on the ceramic too
This rips! I think it's a gorgeous piece of art, ESPECIALLY because of the little 'flaws'! If you ever do another, it would be sweet to see a painted finish!
I did pottery at art college when I was younger and I never really appreciated it but watching your videos really makes me wish I had taken advantage of the pottery studio that was available to me. This channel is so chill and I really enjoy your vids
A wonderful clay build Mia!! Such fun!! So happy you take ceramics into whole new and unconventional areas. Cups, bowls and teapots are gorgeous but clay can be so much more than that. Love your sense of adventure!! I would love to see more of your challenging and eclectic projects. TFS!!
Yes, i like this video. Something diff then pots and cups, which is ofcourse always good. What a patience you showed here. A lot of thinking, a lot of work. Very constructive. And in the end it worked! Wow. 👏 love the last run when the ball smashed the little vase completely. Thanks for this nice video 👍 And oh, happy belated birthday😊
Das Va Tolle!!! ive been binge watching your videos and find that you are one of my favorites. i to am American living in germany. been here 12 years now.
I do love watching you go through the process, it's funny because I'm so much like that myself. I call myself more whimsical because I don't do straight lines or precision very well, I'm a little impatient, so when I have a challenging commissioned project ( if I don't give up halfway through)... it really pushes me to finish. But you did it, you finished and it's incredible! You are such a joy to watch . Ich wünsche dir einen wundervollen Tag!!
Truly such a lovely personality and vibe! People can sometimes tell when things are scripted, but I have feeling that most, if not all of your reactions are truly genuine and in-the-moment. And it's about the best part of life - making plans you want, and finding a way to make due when things go unexpectedly, all while just enjoying the experience. Thanks for the smiles, gave you a like and sub. Cheers!
This is so beautiful - in concept and in its final form. ❤ I love it on your studio's wall and could see this in a beautiful villa as an art piece. I would certainly hang it up!
This was a great video. You should do more like this. So much joy! Mia, you definitely, definitely have the brain of an engineer. I understand the way you think and plan and obsess at night about your how projects should proceed because I do exactly the same thing (and yes, I’m an engineer). So satisfying when it all comes together!
Omg this thing is so cool-like even when you kinda mess up it is such a cool thing to see. I’d love to see you make like a second attempt bigger version of this (now with a little more experience). Even just seeing all these experimental projects I love! Please do more videos like this!!! ❤
Siempre te veo y me encanta tu trabajo, también hago cerámica pero solo hace 3 años, aprendo siempre algo de ti y me encanta tu simpleza y naturalidad con que enfrentas tus retos, gracias por compartir, te envío todo mi respeto y cariño, que sigas adelante con más proyectos tan entretenidos, saludos desde Chile, un pequeño país hasta donde llega tu energía ❤❤❤❤❤
Wonderful! I watch your channel for the creativity and joy that you have for your craft. As an engineer, I enjoy the new perspectives I get into a totally different type of field. So this video really brought things together for me! AND IT WORKED! So cool.
This is fabulous! Loved it and the sounds of the machine working. I especially love the question, which should be the titular of this piece, What to Do With Pots I Don’t Want.
So much fun!!! I loved watching your process! MORE MORE MORE!!!! You’re excitement is contagious 🥰 Do you get to see your family in the US too? I love the idea of moving to a new country. Thanks, this was very entertaining!
What an absurd contraption. I absolutely loved it. I wonder if there's a good way to support these pieces while they dry, so they warp less? I guess it would be hard to add the right kind of support without just making it harder for them to dry out...
i am so proud of you! genuinely happy. AND to make something out of clay to destroy your other clay creations... i love it. i don`t know, this made me emotional :`)
This is an amazing build you do great work! If you were to ever do this again I’d suggest adding metal rods running the length of the lever (acting like rebar in concrete) to add a lot of strength so you wouldn’t have to worry about it breaking as much!
This is the most delightful pottery project I've seen in a long time. You need to collab with Simone Giertz and make a super-complicated machine using ceramics and robotics. And HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!!!
Yes! Such a good idea! 👏
I would love to 🥹 she is my favorite youtuber 🥰
I was watching and thinking “oh man, Simone would love this” 😂 So. Much. FUN!!!
Lmao! Came here to say the exact same thing! I'm gonna add my voice to hopefully manifest this dream collab 😂💖💖
Ooooooh!!!! Yes! Yes! Do it. A collab with you two would be awesome.
This was an absolute delight to watch! You're a clay engineer! I love these videos where you explore something a little unexpected with clay.
This idea needs to be suggested as the ‘final piece’ in the next series of The Great Pottery Throwdown, surely ? Great concept Mia.
The beginning of this video has big Jenna Marbles energy in the best way. It's wonderful to see how your channel is growing and your videos are getting more ambitious! The end result was so satisfying to watch and to hear. The clinking clay sounds really add something special. Can't wait to see what you make next!
Omg I was literally just going to comment about the Jenna energy! Also, Happy Belated Birthday to the newly ~33 year old ladyyy~
This was great. I like all your videos, but your enthusiasm here made it particularly fun.

Thanks so much 🥰
Please yeah !!!!! Do A LOT of such projects again. I LOVE it 😃👍🙃
yay!! so glad you liked it! ❤️
the intro reminded me so much of Jenna Marbles videos when she used to make random and ridiculous decisions for fun on youtube
haha YES that was the reference. So glad someone got it 😄
I laughed so hard at the end watching all your attempts... I mean, this is real entertainment for ceramic worshipers! 😆 So cool, Mia! And happy belated birthday 💛
Such a fun project and as always, you have such happy, easy-going energy (even when anxious/nervous)! I love that you made a more sculptural tiling piece! ❤ 🎉
Thank you! It was fun and stressful haha
That was such a joy to watch! And the purest happiness you had when it worked just melted my heart. You are amazing!
this is insane, domino effect is awesome in clay form😅
I admire your ability to know that an idea may go wrong and totally not work but yet you press on with humility and laughter at minor mistakes.
Watching you plan and figure out what you envision, lay it out, talk about the process, and work through it, is so enthralling.
Thank you for doing what you do
hehe thank is GREAT to hear ❤️
And it makes such a nice sound lol
Wait can you make music with something like that? Can you even predict how it'll sound based on the slab thickness or shape?
Anyways, great job!

thats a great idea! Thanks for watching 😄
your goofiness just got you a new subscriber. keep the silly projects coming! :)
haha thank you!! :)
THAT WAS SO COOL!!!!!!

This was so much fun! I love your reaction when it worked. Happy birthday! And great job!

I’m so amused that you trimmed things back - and then manually made a lip. Looks like an amazing solution to your problem!
I could watch your machine smashing vases all day! Please please PLEASE do it again! You are a genius! *.*
loving how you just dove head long right into this!
This was extremely fun. Your content keeps getting better and more creative each time. Thank you!
that is kind of you to say! I’m always trying to do better 😌
This is awesome. Love when people push what pottery is used for!
I can't stop smiling after watching this. Great job!!!
Your creativity continues to amaze me! Good job! Such fun to watch!
A joy to watch this project. Imagine the merger of engineering and pottery skills. Proud of you.
Yes, i like this video. Something diff then pots and cups, which is ofcourse always good. What a patience you showed here. A lot of thinking, a lot of work. Very constructive. And in the end it worked! Wow. 👏 love the last run when the ball smashed the little vase completely.

And oh, happy belated birthday😊
Yes, I’d like to see more Rube Goldberg devices!
Das Va Tolle!!! ive been binge watching your videos and find that you are one of my favorites. i to am American living in germany. been here 12 years now.
Happy Birthday nachträglich!
This is Machine so cool! Also, I love how dark your red clay gets after firing, so gorgeous.
Danke dir!! ❤️

Oh I loved it and felt realy proud of you. This was realy enjoying and fun! Listen to your laugh was a plus! Please, do more.
Your video editing has improved so much! I feel more connected to you. And I love it! 🫶🏼
I'll remember this video like an example to follow when I lose patience 🤩 !! I really love and enjoyed ❤️🙌🏽
It works!! Have to admit I did not have much faith that it would. YAY!
Loved loved loved it!!!!!!!!! Even the idea is inspiring!! Please do more!!
This might be my favorite video ever!
I admire your creativity and the courage to impliment them!

Yes, I did like this! Quite nerve wrecking indeed, I imagine...
You're doing great work, keep it up please 😊
Wonderful! I watch your channel for the creativity and joy that you have for your craft. As an engineer, I enjoy the new perspectives I get into a totally different type of field. So this video really brought things together for me! AND IT WORKED! So cool.
This was so fun! Yes! Please keep going!!!

This is so cool 😊 I was so anxious with you and am so glad it worked so well 🤗
You're done with the Pottery Throwdown, so now you're inventing your own challenges lol. It's amazing!
This was so fun to watch! Nice job!
Yoooo!! Keep it up! This was so awesome to watch!!!!! Super inspiring.
You are SO brave. Thank you!
matching sun hat and/or bag!
I absolutely loved this project! Super cool x
You're my hero!
Happy Birthday! 🤗🥳 Have a really great month, full of happiness, and thank you so much for the video, I love it!
Thank you so much 🥰🥰
Such a cool video and so fun to see your excitement when it works
I love this. I bet it was extremely stressful but I hope there's more like this in the future ^^
That is so cool! That's such a really cool idea.
Happy belated birthday!
And great project!
I love these atypical ones
This was SUPER fun!!
Really fun and interesting. Loved it! 😊
this was so fun to watch! great inspo for my next project in sculpture class!
This is fabulous! Loved it and the sounds of the machine working. I especially love the question, which should be the titular of this piece, What to Do With Pots I Don’t Want.
So much fun!!! I loved watching your process! MORE MORE MORE!!!! You’re excitement is contagious 🥰 Do you get to see your family in the US too? I love the idea of moving to a new country. Thanks, this was very entertaining!
This was so fun to watch. Thanks a lot
GREAT FREAKING JOB! I was so happy for you when it worked for the first time. Way to not give uppppp
This is my new favorite thing. It was so delightful and I learned good pottery tips! I’m so happy it clobbered that pot in the end 😂😂
Really cool. Thanks so much and happy birthday!
happy belated birthday ... and this is so much fun at always love watching you do your thing
It's a singing machine. Beautiful. 🎉
Very cool project. It took a few tries but it’s super difficult to make something work without really testing it… like you said.
Add a clear plastic or glass panel so the ball stays in & then add a lip in front of the pot at the bottom so it smashes better
this project is awesome!!!
Great video ! More ! More ! More ! We want more 👍👌 !
This was so fun to watch!!
This was so much fun to watch. I cringed as you cringed. But cheered you on at each milestone. A fantastic way to celebrate your birthday🎉
What an absurd contraption. I absolutely loved it.
I wonder if there's a good way to support these pieces while they dry, so they warp less? I guess it would be hard to add the right kind of support without just making it harder for them to dry out...
Incredible. Well done!
My daughter and I been trying to figure out how to do clay hand puppets and automas with clay so this is helpful, thank you for the video!
I love it 😆 Happy birthday! ❤
Genial trabajo, muy creativo, solo puedo aportar que la pelota grande si la reduces solo un poco ya no romperá el jarro 🤗😘👍👏🏻
This was AWESOME 🎉🎉❤❤
Fun project. Happy Birthday too..
i am so proud of you! genuinely happy. AND to make something out of clay to destroy your other clay creations... i love it. i don`t know, this made me emotional :`)
omg! I'm over here jumping and yelling !! You did it! BTW I knew you would. Love it
Clear plexiglass over the front with hinged door so you can put pot to be crushed in. Would finish it nicely.
Very creative and fun
This is an amazing build you do great work! If you were to ever do this again I’d suggest adding metal rods running the length of the lever (acting like rebar in concrete) to add a lot of strength so you wouldn’t have to worry about it breaking as much!
Nice idea! Thank you 🥰
So so cool!! Well done ❤
Great idea, great fun!
