[@catwoolf11]

I appreciate how you showed what happened to the third tree. Some would have edited that out. I'm glad I got to learn from your experience.

These are so cute!! I've always wanted to learn to work with clay. I loved seeing you create the trees! Now I want my own kiln! Lol 😂😂😂

[@caldervanandel]

Thank you so much! I would definitely try it out!

I’ve been using your technique and it’s absolutely fantastic! Easy and works every time!! Thank you so much!!

[@katkempf5072]

Great technique! Thank you for making this clear tutorial. I appreciate that you showed one that didn’t work exactly the way you imagined and some problem solving. Can you estimate your clay thickness when rolled out?

[@caldervanandel]

Thank you! I think it's about 0,5 cm😊

Beautiful. I love the first and second tree. Next week at ceramics club we do Christmas decorations. This looks so fun. I will give it a try.💕

[@radhasreedhar4381]

hi, thanks again for another beautiful video. so for the last tree, how many degrees do you recommend for low temp glaze firing. thanks in advance and cheers

[@caldervanandel]

Thank you! I fired them at 1020ºC

[@johnflournoy9976]

Great technique, do you smooth the inside to join the pieces, sense I didn't see you use slip.

[@caldervanandel]

Thank you! No I didn't, but it could make it even stronger😁

[@normabreazile5500]

Love it!😃

[@caldervanandel]

How do you know how big to make circle of clay to cover your tree form?

[@caldervanandel]

I actually don't know, I just eyeball it, but if it isn't enough you can always add some more clay at the top :)
