So is this leather hard green ware? Or softer than that?

[@manateepottery]

Leather hard, on the stiffer end of leather hard so that the little bits come off cleanly

[@merriepeople4875]

Lovely

[@aprilryan3208]

wonderful

[@lindarivers2407]

Love your work! About how thick are the walls on your cup so that you can remove so much material? I would like to do this but worry I'll put holes in it...

[@manateepottery]

Thanks Linda! the walls are probably less than half a centimeter. Just give it a try, you can do it! My new video about my tools has a demo in it with some more advice, thanks for watching!

[@RH-oj1bt]

Very cool....

[@donalee5472]

Beautiful job. How long does it take in real time to create each cup?

[@manateepottery]

Dona Lee thanks :) the carving alone on this one was about 45 min

[@yourbeamofsunshine]

Do you have a link to the tools you use?

[@manateepottery]

I have a video posted called my favorite tools for carving pottery and it goes more into detail about the tools there!

[@Gingy50]

What is that floating in your coffee ?

[@manateepottery]

It’s boba! Also known as bubble tea, or pearl tea, it’s big tapioca balls in milk tea and it’s yummy!

[@TheSuelisp]

Sometimes the vídeos até speed, I can not see the tools ,, sorrry i am eldery , LOL.

[@lilypad1361]

Are you carving in the leather-hard stage?

[@manateepottery]

•Lily Pad• yup!

[@sayudiable]

Nice eyes

[@kittysuttonauthor]

I love your designs, however I do not like the fast tape. I prefer it to be explained as you go.

[@lorihry6236]

The oopsie moment,

[@lorihry6236]

Did you carve through the mug? And then you fix with a spray of water and let dry slowly?
I’m always so scared to carve through my items and therefore they are heavy/ think walled.
