Pottery Hand-built Birdhouse 

I am 88 and love hand building with porcelain clay, you are so fresh and lovely, thank you for making my life so bright and happy..VR

I just ❤️❤️❤️ all your videos and you are so relaxed, non stressed and always a smile and a story to tell!! Thanks for sharing your talents. I’m 78 and still handbuilding… bought the gourd molds and have built many bird feeders, houses and decorative gourds from them. Your bank owl was awesome and of course the fairy houses etc etc. 🥰🥰🇨🇦

Thank you so much for showing me what is possible. I'm a 58 year old woman in the UK just starting out on my pottery making journey. Hand building attracts me a great deal. Can't wait for my first hand building course this April. Thank you so much. Juliet X

Hummingbirds are mean and very territorial. They like it if you spay water from the hose so the can get a shower. I've seen hawks get chased off by groups of humming birds. Nice bird houses. Love the hand building.

Oh these are gorgeous glad you made a hand built one not good on the wheel. 😊

That was a lot of work. Very cute. Will be super when glazed. Great job.

Am a crafter (artist). Have dreamed of working in ceramics free form. Sadly, nothing near me. Love your tutorial.

Love the look the flowers make! You can never go wrong with a few flowers!😁💓🌸🌺🌼

Wish you would do a workshop... you are such a great teacher!!

The bird houses are so cute, and functional. You do such great work, thank you so much for sharing your wonderful skills. I just love watching you, I am very creative also and enjoy every minute of every day. Keep up the good work . Linda 😊 ❤.

I"d love some of his moulds, but I live in the UK and postage is very expensive , I'll have at have a go at throwing them , I love all your work,, endless energy, cant keep up with you Tiffany 😊

I just saw you had a new video out and its 11:08pm Australian Eastern Standard time... I have a clay conference tomorrow to go to and here I am watching your Video trying to convince myself I need to go to bed.... but your video Aghhh! Just 5mins more then I'll save the rest until I get home! but by gosh I really don't want too. I want to just watch all of it and totally ignore my need for sleep. 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆. Looks Amazing so far!

You are a great artist.

What a GREAT project!!!

Beautiful.

Looks beautiful!

Verry nice 👌

Precioso tus trabajos 🎉❤ Gracias por compartir.!

Thank you for doing a hand built version! Tip on drawing birds in, you would need to research what kind of box that species prefers. They may prefer larger or smaller boxes, or might like the opening higher, or even may prefer a wide entrance. Birds are very picky about their nesting spots!

Very nice

Love your videos! Have you tried flannel under the plastic to slow down the drying schedule? Have use that in the past and it seems to help with a prolonged drying process if you don't have a damp box to put things in.

Lol I love that word I think it's funny haha

Hello I'm in the UK and newcomer to clay modelling, I've started using DAS which I'm happy with and I loved watching your video as you explain everything so well. Could you tell me the name of the clay you are using or is it only available in the US?

Grácias !!!

I have found a bird house needs a door so one can clean out the house after the season is over and the birds have migrated.

Would you show us how to hand build a bird house without a mold?

What kind of wood is your table?

How does one Hang these lovely bird houses?

How much do you sell these bird houses for? Knowing how much to ask for something you have made is a hard thing to decide on for me!

Thanks for sharing. I read that the male hummingbird gaurds the feeder and only lets the female eat if he can get lucky

❤

i luvvv the birdhouses...but...from a birdy point of vieuw i would not use it ...the young birdies are sitting ducks for claws of cats or beaks from big predatorbirds if the hole is this low...for estatics it nice...but if you make them specially as nests for birds...make the holes higher up...no cat or beak can make a 90 degree angle to get the little birdies🙂

Where did you buy the mold?

Cute Birdhouses but those molds cost more than $200. Most of us will have to find another way to make them.

Tiny feathered warriors have no room for the idea that they are small....

OCD, oh no. Lol

Here in Australia, we have snakes, fish and spiders that are all poisonous.
