Calm Carving - No Sound, Calming Pottery Visuals 

?

@@ericsohnlover Probably talking about how people complain art is too expensive and are only willing to pay like 5 bucks for something that took hours and hours to make

@@vanifarron ohh lol idk what I was thinking 7 months ago because the comment is self-explanatory, but thank you! 😊

@@vanifarron Went a couple days ago to a place where I bought a little ceramic plate. Very beautiful and with an intricate pattern painted on it, which must've taken a long time to accomplish. Some dudebro "real man" walked in with his family and proceeded to talk smack about the prices of the ceramics to the cashier, even though the lady made it clear she doesn't get to decide what gets sold at what price. For some reason, the guy pretty much also insulted the cashier, as if he wasn't already enough of a jerk. I bought the plate and tipped the lady to try and make up for it, but man, what weird guy that was.

Just found the video with the info! you rock

That is interesting! Thank you for your input and thank you for watching 🙂

Yooo! I need to get back into them fir shur. I keep shooting footage and then doing nothing with it 😳😅 You have definitely inspired me to start planning them again 🥰

depends on the inverment one is working in and clay you use.

So sweet! I needed a mental health break, but I am getting back to making again. I have a huge list of new video ideas that I can't wait to share 🙂

@@KaiCeramicsOfficial Great! I find your videos quite relaxing for my mental health 😂👍

Opps.. nevermind haha. I didn't watch far enough - turns out you threw the mug shape and then came back to carve it. Fantastic!

@bruhe If you wanted to, you can probably make the shape itself out of coils or have an extruder make a hollowed out form to carve from. I haven't made much using an extruder but I have made a cylinder from one. My only work using an extruder was a "rain totem" where you have a cylinder shape put a bottom, drill into it and insert spikes with slip pointing inward and put in many small clay beads finally adding the top, decorating and firing as desired. Ultimately when you flip upside down it will make a rain like sound. As soon as you mentioned the extruder I imagined a very nice rain totem carved like this kinda making it look like waves or raindrops

When I go into a Potter shop for a local studio lots of people look like don't look at what I'm doing this is my technique.. A whole reason of going there was to learn how to do something and sometimes they are very open and sometimes they are not.. Thank you for showing and sharing.. I just tried cutting this type of thing because of you I just put on 4 feet to a cup .. Very satisfying to try

I'm guessing its smooth stoneware

@Meg Hurley it would have to be leather hard. If it was bone dry it would be too hard and ready to go into the kiln. Bone dry would mean there is no water left and it would either create a lot of dust while trying to carve it or it would break under the pressure of attempting to carve. Bone dry also makes it difficult if you are trying to rehydrate it by adding water directly it might become into slip instead of leather hard. If you ever have a piece that becomes too hard to carve but is still considered leather hard just spray it and cover in a plastic bag so it slowly distributes the water inside as it becomes slightly humid (like a greenhouse the water is trapped inside). If you ever have a piece that has really become bone dry but you want to revive it for whatever reason you can put it on top of a large wooden panel with a bowl of water off to the side and seal it fully in plastic somewhere warm, very slowly the water can make it humid in the bag and the bone dry piece can become leather hard (do not directly wet bone dry pieces because they will most likely become damaged) its also important to note to not have the plastic touching the piece because condensation buildup can drip down onto the bone hard work and damage it as well.

@@TheCatWhoAteTheCanary Thank you so much!:)

Thanks for watching, anyways!
