I was an archaeologist. It makes me very funny to see someone making a ceramic in this way. This type of ceramic assembly has existed since at least the Neolithic period (it depends on the region). A big congratulations! 👍😍💚
I always wondered how old this was. Thanks for sharing! I feel the drive to pick up an ancient craft, like working with wool or pottery...I was curious as to how far back these techniques go.
something about seeing simple earth turned into beautiful vessels is so relaxing and inspiring. i’ve been really down and haven’t been creating, but this video gave me a spark and i’m now working on a project for my cat that i’d been wanting to finish.
Love watching you work the coils, when I started my first course in pottery I made coil pots and loved it, that was over 40 yrs ago and I still have some of those coiled pots. Great job fantastic results.
Oh my God! This is so amazing! Honestly I didn't expect to watch the whole process, but it was so soothing and inspiring. Thank u for sharing! You are incredibly talented.
Thank you, you’ve reminded me how much I miss this. I will be so grateful to have a home studio for pottery and crafts. Thank you for this content, I’m happy I stumbled upon your channel. Happy New Year 🎊 ❤️
So relaxing to watch this process. Thank you for sharing your art with us! That teeny tea kettle at the end was charming. 😊 It gives me the inspiration to try this, too!
Oh man I took 3 ceramics classes in highschool and this reminded me how fun it was. Very cool. Id love to get into it again someday. Not sure why this popped up on my suggested videos but glad it did. Makes me want to play with some clay.
When I saw the result: 'Oh my God, this is so beautiful!' Enjoyed this video so much, it is a great start of the day. You are talented, best of luck on your creative path, dear Hana!
This is the first time I’ve seen your channel - and what a beautiful one it is! Thoroughly enjoyed watching you make these gorgeous pieces (I discovered air dry clay projects during lockdown - so this was particularly interesting and relevant for me), so I’m now subscribed and will plough my way through your other videos. Thank you for posting. You’re a very talented lady 👏🏻🇬🇧
This is such a beautiful video, I enjoyed every second of it. It brought me memories from my exchange year in the US, one of my classes was ceramics, which I ended up really loving. Best of luck with everything! 💓
I have watched this and I am mesmerised!! You are not only talented and creative but also your every gesture is so gentle and calm... It is so relaxing to watch for me!! I feel like I can touch your clay... Thank you for this amazing experience! My only regret is I am not from the UK...
this is an amazingly creative and therapeutic hobby and i totally respect the artists who enjoy this craft… definitely makes you consider being more kindly about prices
Thank you! I’ve had my kiln sitting in my closet for months! My anxiety of messing up is so high. Thank you for this vid! It is making me want to start tomorrow
I really enjoyed this! I'm glad you show that you don't need a lot of equipment to handbuild at home. I have a couple of newbie questions: how large is your kiln? And, what advice would you give to someone who wants to have a studio at home? Thank you!
Not OP but I do have the same kiln at home (cant remember, but i think its around 13ft³). My advice is to not let anything stop you, including not having a home studio. Go to some classes if you can. You could go to a class, throw 50 bowls that go straigh into recycling, and still go home with more than you started with. Plus you can't pick brains of other potters when you're alone in your studio. Edit: my kiln is a Skuit km-822-3: 2.9 ft³/22 in inside depth. I was way off.
@@pratikshakhalane9484 You must fire again after glazing to cure the glaze. (Makes it hard/waterproof) Also, glaze in its uncured state is toxic, you should never leave glaze just air-dried without firing again. You must fire to harden it properly
@@Kukolka42 Why is glaze in its uncured state toxic? Should be taking precautions when hangling non-cured glaze then?(Like when we are painting on the glaze or dipping the glaze? Does it create a hazard for lungs?)
Hey so I'm a ceramics engineer myself and I absolutely love your work. I too love making stuff by my own hand though I prefer glass to be my canvas instead of clay. I never thought clay work would be possible to such a fine aesthetic degree at home, given all the dust that'll interfere with the glazing. Kudos to your effort. Would love to try it someday. Cheers and all the best. ❤️
Thank you for this video. All my life I've wanted to learn working with clay, making pottery. I'm finally in a position to begin doing so. This was definitely inspirational! How does one begin? What basics do you need? Where do you find clay?
One could begin by taking ceramics classes in some local studio. They will provide all the tools, materials and knowledge you need to start. If there is no studio, you can watch tutorials on RU-vid, as buying materials and tools online is easy enough, but the problem is firing the pieces as a kitchen oven is seven hundred degrees too cold to even try firing. The solution would be to either hit up a studio/ceramic school and ask them to fire your piece (a bit risky - for the studio - so it's likely they will not agree) or, if you have a big enough garden, you can fire it in a literal ditch with a fire (watch tutorials aplenty beforehand). All in all, it really is the best to start by learning from someone who knows the trade already and ceramics classes don't have to be expensive (the material is cheap).
@@jealousharibo I have looked for classes, but so far no luck. A small studio had just started offering them, then covid happened and she has never re-opened. I would have never thought about ditch-firing, oddly, being I love archeology and similar means were used in the past. Thank you for the ideas!
Enjoyed seeing the process from beginning to end. I like the natural color of glaze used and the simplicity of the design. Such a soothing feeling watching the process of hand creating. Thank you for sharing.
This is nice. Just makes me appreciate my legacy more. We got clay earthen pots, ceramic tawas and everything else at such an inexpensive price on the roadside (India) that never learnt to value it untill it became fancy!! Back then, people thought sugar and steel to be a status symbol (and many other 'rich' people foods/items) but now they are switching back to 'poor' people items like jaggery, goat milk and earthen pots realizing their true value...
That is the cleanest kiln I have ever seen. Also, making your own glazes is an amazing process, I highly recommend doing it. It can be very frustrating when things don't go smoothly but when a glaze happens just right you will never want a general glaze again. Some of the best glazes I have ever used I mixed myself and are not available commercially.
Yes I think the color is gorgeous too! I wish the pottery could be used for dinnerware in the bisque stage since the color is so pretty but it would be way too porous. I guess I could find a matte glaze that looks similar to the bisquewares color!
