Your videos are excellent. I teach pottery classes and like to get other’s takes on how to break parts of the pottery process down. Your explanations are thorough, engaging, and done with humour. Thank you!

I didn’t watch this video because I’m a newbie. I watched it because you made it and I was hoping you’d make me laugh… which you did

One class I took many, many years ago came up with the terms, "Soft", "Italian-Leather, hard" "Leather hard," and "K-Mart-Leather hard", and "Hardened" to describe what you're calling "Leather Soft … Leather … Leather Hard." Also, in most of the classes I've taken, everyone used "Leather hard" to describe what you're calling "Medium Leather," whereas what you're calling "Leather hard" was usually called, "hard", "mostly dry," "post-leather-hard," or even, "between leather-hard and bone dry."

Been making pots on and off for 15 years ... still thoroughly enjoyed this video for "beginners." A studio I worked in had lined a rolling shelf with plastic surrounding the outside with the front sheets having a little overlap. In Colorado humidity is very low all the time. This method was genius as work could be kept uncovered for a week. The plastic was thicker than a garbage bag but not as thick as vinyl tablecloth. ❤ your dirty potter videos

I want to insert something witty here about being in my late thirties and enjoying videos of watching paint dry, I mean clay.... But it's not really coming for me. I did manage to verse the five stages of clay by heart instead of the five stages of grief, last week in therapy, so.... I'd rather go spend my therapists paycheck in the clay store. Sometimes that seems like better value for money. Well, most of the time, really.... ... But seriously. Your willingness to make long videos about the most basic basics of clay basics is what helped me get un-explosive results all by myself since picking up clay. and for that I am so, so thankful, Donte. ❤

A damp box was game changing for this So CA potter. Easy to make and drying control is easy.

That's one of my few cone 10 pieces I still have. I used to work in the cone 10 reduction range a lot

I wrapped a large sculpture in plastic and left a totally wet rag in the sculpture. Also sprayed it. Came back the next week and it was too wet to work on. It happens

9:03 You California boy, you, and your fake "winter." 😉 In parts of the continent with _real_ winter, the air tends to be much, much, _much drier_ than summer. [The colder the air, the less water vapor it can hold. So take that 25 °F air from outside and heat it up to a humane 68 °F, and it's gonna be very dry.] And in places like the Gulf Coast, summer is probably so humid, drying in open air takes _weeks._

@EarthNationCeramics 5 месяцев назад

Oh yeah I hear that your guyses water structure freezes in your clay and then you have to rehydrate it so you actively need heaters all the time. Crazy

@@EarthNationCeramics Now, bear in mind that I'm just a hobby potter with a garage studio. And I don't throw in there regularly, since it's only a hobby. But I _definitely cannot_ work in there between about October to April, simply because it's too damn cold to be out there without a coat on! And yes, studios out here in upstate NY need to have the heat on just for the sake of the pipes. So studios out here in winter are very, very dry, so anyone doing winter classes has to wrap their stuff really well so far it doesn't totally dry out before next week's class. And if you get sick one week and can't make class, you usually have to ask the studio to spray and then double wrap anything you were planning to trim. We also get humid summers here in upstate NY, so stuff tends to dry more slowly for us then.
