i love how you matched covers in video with colours of your walls and red table!

Hi I just stumbled upon this video. I'm not a potter(yet) but I am really inspired by this video, especially when you talked about doing ceramics with thoughts of death/life. I agree with you that a lot of people don't like to think about death, but I do; not in a negative way, but more in a "spiritual" way.

Thank you sharing your tips! Rose is amazing, I used to go to her before buying my kiln because it was just so hard for me to go there from Hamilton.

So many good tips in this video - thank you so much for sharing all that you do on your channel!!! You’ve become one of my fave resources on here!

@issey-roquet 10 месяцев назад

Aw thank you so much! That’s really sweet of you. Made my day 🫶🏼💕

loved the little Q&A!! hoping to be able to get my hands on one of your art work someday (I live in France and transporters aren’t the most delicate with parcels 🥲)

Ah yeah it’s tricky shipping ceramics 🥺 I’ll have a bigger announcement on shipping to Europe in the coming months though 🤫 stay tuned!

Wonderful video, Issey. Thank you for sharing this. Your studio is lovely! Do you know the Japanese Zen nun, Rengetsu? She was a poet and a great ceramicist/potter. She would write poems on her beautiful cups and tea pots. You reminded me of her when you mentioned that you’ve contemplated death recently and consider what you may leave behind afterward. Rengetsu was very prolific and so many of her pieces remain with us. However, she became quite famous for her pottery and had a lot of copycats. Being a Buddhist nun full of compassion and generosity, she would often discover the counterfeit pieces and sign them anyway so that people could get a higher resale value for them. So, it’s difficult to know which pieces she actually made…but they are all of “her” suchness. A beautiful legacy to leave behind, surely. 😊

Thank you so much for sharing this! I’m definitely going to look her up. Such a beautiful and inspiring story. Love it!

I adore Lucy Rie's work, it's stunning. I got to hold a bowl she made at an art show about 5 years ago. It was light as air

@issey-roquet 10 месяцев назад

Omg wow that's incredible! I'm very envious! haha So happy to hear you got to experience that. I can't wait to see her work with my own eyes one day 🥲

@br.kevincoffey_artist 10 месяцев назад

@@issey-roquet look up work by Gertrude and Otto Natzler. She created the forms and he created the glazes. Their work is just as stunning.

Great video! Was really happy to see the firing options for people living in central Toronto. You’ve also show me that I could be a little cleaner in my own workspace. 😳 I do mop after every session, but I always find that there’s a thin film of clay on the floor when it dries. In general, whether I’m mopping, or wiping with a damp sponge or microfibre cloth, it seems like I’m just spreading some of the clay around rather than actually picking it all up. What are your thoughts on this?

@issey-roquet 4 месяца назад

Glad to hear it was helpful! 😊 Regarding the thin film of clay, I’d recommend maybe trying to emptying and refilling the water midway or doing a second pass with clean water? Or using two buckets, one to dump the dirty water and clean your sponge/mop in, and the other to reload fresh water. Or getting a similar mop bucket like the one I show in the video that separates the dirty/clean water for you. It really helpful to clean the dirty mop head too. Usually clean water and a really clean mop/sponge does the trick. And maybe if it seems like it’s just spreading the clay around, you could try adding more water first to the dirty surface and then sponge it out. So there’s more water for the clay to mix with. Really absorbant and large sponges help too. I’ve noticed sometimes some sponges are kind of plastic-y feeling but don’t really absorb well, and are kind of counter productive. The only problem with the film is it’s a dust hazard, especially if you’re walking around or using the surfaces the next day. Clay is made of silica, even if the finest particles get into your lungs, they never come out, and can cause silicosis. So if you’re spending a lot of time in that space, I’d probably try to just take the extra precaution. Or especially if you have kids or pets that are closer to the ground and might be more prone to breathing that dust. Hope this helps!

@AllanRisk 4 месяца назад

@@issey-roquet Thanks for your reply. I think I know what you mean about some sponges not being that absorbent. I think my mop has such a sponge ... it's not bad at scrubbing, but it doesn't pick up very well. I think I will get one of those Vileda mops.

@thokozanixaba 10 месяцев назад

Hi. I wanted to ask how do you decide how many pieces to make for each collection?

@issey-roquet 10 месяцев назад

Hi! Right now I’m still figuring that out too. It mostly depends on how much time I have leading up to a sale date. Usually I pick a date first and go backwards from there to figure out how much I can produce and fire on time. I’ve made a habit of timing myself when I throw, trim or glaze - or simply counting how many pieces I can make in a day, including cleaning time. Generally that’s helpful enough to get an idea of how much I can make for a collection. And I always leave a cushion for firing mishaps and photoshoots towards the end. Hope it helps! :)

Hello! What’s the best way to find out when your next release of items will be? Is there an email notification list?

@issey-roquet 7 месяцев назад

Hello! Right now it would be to follow me on instagram, I usually share posts and stories when I’m about to have a sale. In the future I’ll put together an email notification list 😊
