Thank you. I love everything about this video. It is pleasant and relaxing to watch, which we all need, and we can learn by watching and hearing how and why things are done. It also shows your generous nature of wanting to teach others. I have had a growing interest in pottery for about 10 years now but my lifestyle doesn’t allow time or space to try my hand at this but hopefully one day … beautiful and practical pots. Again, thank you 🙏
Thank you Nancy😀. You are so kind. It is unfortunate you can not try pottery at the moment. I was the same just before starting the pottery. I thought I can’t fit the pottery in my busy schedule. But once I started the pottery it became the centre of my life. I hope you can join us soon.🥰
Thank You for your comment 😀. ONE PIECE technique is fun, isn’t it! In the beginning I was using standard method to make the lid separately. I always felt awkward in the shape. The lid and the pot don’t belong each other. Then I found this technique. This technique changed my approach to making pots completely. I’m so glad I can share my sensation with fellow potters🥰
thank you for this! i too have been making covered sauce jars which have included a small spout on the delicate rim, something like yours. these didn't work out consistently as it's a challenge to make a spout with that delicacy when the clay is grogged and not very elastic. next, i went to a tiny thrown and attached spout, where a hole was included in the top with which one can regulate the liquid flow. yours are beautiful, simple and very functional. you remind me of what can be done in the throwing process that reduces trimming and finishing.
Thank you for your detailed comment 😊 Clay with grog is tricky, isn’t it! I know hoy you feel. Thinking about design and functionality then put them together on the wheel Is awesome moment. If it works 🤣. Please let me know how you are doing with this project.
Thank you for this wonderful video. Great explanations of what your fingers are doing. Camera angles show the throwing process perfectly. Excellent job!
Thank you for your comment Rita😊. It is good to know the camera angles are good. I tried many angles and settled down to this one. This is the way I want to see if I am watching someone is throwing.
Thank you for watching 😊. It takes longtime to add the subtitles but my English pronunciation is very hard to understand as this English is not my mother tongue 🥲 I hope viewers can catch up from the subtitles ❤️
I loved watching this! I feel so inspired. And the use of oil pastels - wow! I'd never thought of that. Loved seeing it actually work at the end of the video as well. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video. I am by no means an expert. I am still very much a beginner, but I have watched a lot of videos and taken classes and you taught me several things in this one video that I have never been exposed to before! Please keep up the great work!
Your instruction is so clear and clean. I made a closed lidded pot (not sure if that is the right term) and a bottle for the very, ever first time because of learning from you. I would really like to try this kind of pouring pot. Thank you for choosing to teach us.
So very elegant! I am getting better at one piece designs with your help, but they are definitely not easy! Love how the finished pot turned out. Stunning.
Wonderful video, thank you for showing the whole process so clearly . So satisfying when the top fits the bottom so well! Also, great demonstration at the end of the non-drip effect. Looking forward to your next video! 😊
It is such pleasure to watch you produce these beautiful and functional pieces. Your explanation is clear, easy to understand and also explains why not just what you do which is very helpful. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Thank you for your understanding 🥰. When I write my video script I struggle a lot. I want to explain the reason best he action. I’m so glad I am achieving the level people think my explanation is helpful.
I love everything about this video. Great job of explaining the "why" of things. I've been doing pottery for years... and I've learned so much in this short video.
Thank you for your videos. They are so comforting to watch, and you explain in detail the steps you take to make your beautiful pieces. I have tried to apply your techniques in my pottery creations. My pieces are noticeably better when I use your steps and tips!
I love your videos so much, I always learn a lot and you remind me to slow down. And your pieces are so beautiful. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with the world!
Thank you 😊. I love that you mentioned “slow down “❤️. When I start to rush to complete the project I always force me to stop and go away. The result is much better when I’m in the quiet mode.
Thank you for taking the time to record, edit, and transcribe this immensely helpful video! i've struggled with sauce jars and other functional pouring vessels. I'm reinvigorated after watching this, thank you again for all the effort you made to share this!
❤️❤️❤️ Thank you for noticing my video making side effort 🥹. That part is much harder than making pot. I’m glad someone mentioned. Thank you for your support!
@@AlchemyCeramic i threw several of these last week, and it's been such fun to see it come together! question for you about this technique - do you let the lids dry outside of the bottles? one of mine cracked because the neck dried and shrunk faster than the lid. i'm worried about making the fit too snug and risking cracking or the lid just getting stuck. wondering how you manage this? thanks!
Great news! You have tried 😁 The reason for cracking is may be due to the bottle neck thickness is thinner than lid wall so bottle shrunk faster than the lid. Please try two things, the first you can trim the inside of the lid to make the thickness to match the bottle neck. The second one is to cover with plastic sheet lightly. Trying to slow down the drying speed especially in this weather. My studio is cool so drying speed is slow. I hope These can resolve the problem. I usually make them tight fit as I don’t like loose fit which seems to be not well made. Please try my suggestions and if you still have problems please let me know we can think together.
Thank you 😊. Same system Glass sauce Pot is quite common in Japan. I wasn’t sure if it works with stoneware clay as the tightness is less than glass pot. It works very well. Now this is going to be my usual line up.
@@AlchemyCeramic, Thanks for your personal answer!🙏 We Europeans can learn so much from Japanese culture and all its finesses. And the way that you marry beauty and usefulness makes you a proper Alchemist! Looking forward to all your new findings.
I’m glad to hear I’m inspiring someone 😃. My dream is I’m going to be like a wind generator. I receive the inspiration, information, motivation and so on from my surroundings then I generate new forms and send to the world through RU-vid. At the moment slowly my dream is becoming true. 🤗 Thank you for your support!
Your videos are amazing! I just started with pottery and I'm hooked up with your art of pottery❤! Thank you for sharing! Could you please make videos with glazing (what kind of glaze) and also the whole procedure (firing process) to the final product, so that beginners get a clue what's needed to get the final result of yours? Thank you so much beforehand!
Thank you 🥰. I’ve never thought I can show my style in 5 years ago back. I was too shy 🤣. The pandemic changed me. I want to share everything I know of. Please support me and let’s make much bigger potter’s society!
I really enjoy watching your videos. You explain things really well and inspire new ideas that I want to incorporate in my repertoire. Thank you for sharing!
Cool it doesn't drip at all, so clever! I love your one piece series. Recently I was inspired to make a lidded salt shaker with your method. I made it like your spice shaker jar, but I cut the lid at the top of the part that you push in with the chopstick that becomes the flange. When trimming the base of the pot, I made a footring and I cut out a circle inside the footring from the base and score and slip to re-attach it covering the flange. My jar was slightly cone shaped inwards so the base is wider than the top so that the size is ok (Actually I am not skilled enough to make it with the inset lid like your previous video with snow on the moon glaze, but I think this would look better). Then I made holes in the attached circle for the salt. I will fill the jar with salt at the base and put a cork in the hole in the base. I hope that makes sense! Thank you for the inspiration :)
Wow! Great work🤩. I made Salt and Pepper Shakers (Hand built) recently. I made a hole at the bottom and used plastic plug I found them on line. Your style is also very interesting 😊. I’m so glad I can hear from the fellow potter how they make!. Thank you for sharing your experience with me!.
Thank you so much. I was looking for an idea for a gift to make for my friends, and this one is just perfect. It's always a pleasure to watch your videos.
Thank you for watching. Some glazes are my recipes and some aren’t. I will post with recipe when I use only my glaze next time. My firing schedule is nothing special. I have L&L kiln. Most of the time I use slow glaze cone 6 and 60 minutes holding time at the top temperature. In this way even cone. setting the atmospheric temperature in the kiln becomes higher. It reaches cone 7 to 8 easily . I have slow cooling schedule but I only use specific glaze.
Thank you 😊 I didn’t invent the system ( I wish I did ). This is popular item in Japan which normally made by glass. Thank you for the person who made this in the first place.
The size is 5cm x 1.5cm. I recommend to use hard wood which has finer grains. After you sand it the surface becomes very smooth and doesn’t drag the clay much.
The last bit which you showed how sauce was poured definitely convinced me this non-drip bottle did the great job! Amazingly good piece! 👍Btw, I did couple of those shallowing cookie jars with lids. But the lids warped. They were not flat as they should be at bisque firing. I can only think that 1240 degrees had caused that or compression had not been done well during throwing stage...What do you think? Thank you
Thank you for your comment 😊. This pot definitely works! I use by myself everyday. This make me so happy at the dining table. About shallow jar. Please try to make a lid thicker and foot ring thicker and taller. You can also add extra ring which is between the lid foot ring and centre. It will help to stop warping.
Thank you for watching 😊. Yes I fired the lid on. In this way I can expect perfect fit. If you worried not glazing the liquid contact parts, you can glaze joints parts and fire separately. But you need to consider the glaze thickness. You can glaze and wipe the glaze lightly then fire separately, is another way you can choose. I always like to fire lid and the pot together so I choose non-glazing joint part.
Thank you for your question😊 I thought someone might ask this question. This is unglazed part is waxed so it is more protected compared to the part no glaze and no wax part. It is more shiny. You can also use fine clay to cover the issue you worried. Japanese pottery “Bizen Yaki” is one of my favorite style. It is very traditional pottery in Okayama prefecture. They don’t use glaze. They have long firing system (7-9 days I was told 😳) Their local clay is fine clay. Those pots are beautiful and functional. The key is long firing. If you can, better to use slow long firing program to make clay’s porous tighter. If I am not answering well please ask me again with more details.
Thank you for your comment 😊The front one is standard Celadon. Many recipes are on internet nowadays. Best way to find the recipe is to search your country recipe as you can get same ingredients.
Thank you Jenny. 😊My pots are sold in London. I don’t have online shop yet as store sales is fast enough and I can not supply enough. If you are planning to visit London please let me know. I will post the store details.🥰
Thank you Jenny😊. 326 Upper Street London N1 2XQ is the place you can buy my pots. It is a Japanese restaurant which has full of my pots. They open Tuesday to Friday after 5pm. Saturday 11am to 10pm and Sunday 11am to 4pm. This non dripping pots are only 2 left at the moment. I hope I can top up some time soon.
Thank you for your comment David😊. I’m just in the meddle of the process. If it works I will post it as video soon. There were few points I needed to adjust and these points are interesting. The liquid density is different so that is another question part. This is too small for the oil bottle so I need adjustments but if you are happy with the size paltry this , but make the channels bigger otherwise the oil doesn’t flow.
@@AlchemyCeramic hi thanks, I did look at the restaurant but a) didn’t see these and b) they didn’t have much listed. I also looked on their instagram where I saw more of your wonderful work. Unless you mean a different address? I rarely go into London I have to say - I may need to take a trip!
Hi😊 The restaurant website doesn’t have much pictures because pots sell very quickly and I can’t catch up the speed to upload new photos 😅. Instagram is bit better, but again I’m too slow to upload new works. I spend time to make RU-vid videos. Zen Mondo is the name of the restaurant, 326 Upper street N1 2XQ. It has full of my works, this non-dripping sauce pots are only 2 left at the moment. The restaurant open Tuesday to Friday From 5pm to 10pm. Saturday 11am to 10pm, Sunday 11am to 4pm. I hope we can meet sometime in near future 🥰
Very interesting question. I wonder why do you think it could be two different person. I’m making this video only by myself. I’m the potter and also the narrator and the editor. If I’m going to hire the narrator I will choose much better English speaker🤣.
Hi Ana😊. Among “ ONE PIECE “ series this is the most advanced one. Did you try Flash Lid ONE PIECE? Pleas try that first. After that Small Lid ONE PIECE. When you are comfortable with those two this project is fun. I found small ONE PIECE is actually difficult to throw. Maybe you can increase the size.
