When you said you put a spiral on, I thought you would let the snack coil around the pot and slither down, kind of like slither down, but simulatiously merge with the pot, like its water or something. But I love how they turned out. And I would be very interested in this watering system
@@PotterytothePeople still extremly cool. I considered buying these, until I realized, that I a) cant have nice stuff because of toddlers and b) I dont have plants in the house :D
Cool! I would probably use that kind of planter as a decorative outer pot for a plant by setting a plant in a pot with drain holes inside them. That way, the soil can drain properly, and you can remove the plant from the decorative pot at any time.
Since there is no drainage, and the pots are deep, it would be good filling the bottom with pebbles or tumbled lava rocks which will help make sure the roots don’t stay soaked.
"They do still look like menstrual cups" oh no... it's so true... you said that line and I just immediately recontextualized and started cackling... menstrual cups would be much cooler if they turned into snakes at the bottom. More dangerous, though. That time of the month is already enough trouble without worrying about your cup biting your fingers.
You showed up in my recommended videos and I AM SO FREAKING GLAD. I absolutely adore TGPT, and your series is giving me life right now! I waited to get all caught up before commenting, but I have to thank you for continuing with these videos. You're so incredibly talented -- you have a new fan here in Texas!!!
About your question about Covid, it's completely normal, I had Covid last summer and still when I do too much, I get sick with the same symptoms without actually having a positive test. For me it's diagnosed as long Covid. I think it can stay a while in your system after getting better. I hope it works out better for you!
I like the idea of putting an extra section in - it can be a reservoir for water. You need to have drainage in a planter pot, in case of over-watering, and it's good to have some extra water available to the plant if you're away for a few days.
You are so cute, even when you are sick 😊 hoping you begin to feel better soon😊, love this series you are doing, and it's because of YOU that I even heard about the THROWDOWN 🎉 thank you 🙏 I'm now waiting for them to release season 6 on where I have access to the show. But I want to also thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills with us so generously 🙏💗 *Subscriber and avid fan of your channel* 🎨 Art'On 🎨
these are amazing I have never touched potery before but now I'm sitting here thinking about what if you had the snake head sculptuure be hollow with an open nouth so that wen you water the plant in there any excess water drains out the snakes mouth. they are beautiful
Yes! I thought the same. It’s not good to have plants in a pot without drainage as the roots can rot. Need to place some stones or gravel in bottom of the pot so the soil can breath and a drainage hole so excess water can drip out… yes hanging pots still need drainage. She did a great job of the pots and I love the glaze colour, I would love to see these planters in a Raku firing.
For hanging planters keep the plant in the pot and the put the pot into the planter. Take them out to water them drain then put back in planter. They are fab!❤
The snake sculpting is awesome! To avoid the menstrual cup vibes maybe you should have made the snake body coil around the pot instead of become the pot.
By British Law, you must have EXCELLENT 60's Rock and Roll in the background. The theme song might be early Who. But the connecting music and segment bumpers are the best British Rock EVER!
This was awesome! Thank you! These kind of videos are very motivational and I’m ready to go tackle a fantasy teapot I’m busy making with new verve 👏🏻❤️🔥☕️🎷
Yay! You’re back! I’m so sorry you have been sick. I hope feeling better soon. Your planters turned out beautiful. When you were sculpting the snakes, I kept humming “trust in me, trust in me” that Kaa the snake sings in The Jungle Book. I know what you mean about hanging planters being a pain to water. The olla sounds like an interesting idea. Seeing it reminded me of a special planter that my mother had for her African violet. It was one pot inside another. The outside pot was glazed and held the water, the inside pot was bisque on the bottom so the violet could have slow ans consistent water delivery….basically the reverse of the olla concept. You might want to look them up and see if you might be able to make hanging planters that way.
They’re interesting, aren’t they? I remember that they worked really well, too. The inside pot on hers had a wide, ruffled rim that supported the leaves, too. Whoever came up with the initial design really thought about what an African violet needed.
What fun! A snake plant (Dracaena trifasciata) seems like it would have been the obvious choice if they were better suited for a hanging planter 🤪 Love the series and would love to see you make the watering device!
I love the matte black glaze. I think a crackle glaze and a metallic bronze glaze would also work for that ‘raku’ look. Also amaco CO8 dark star cosmos glaze. Something maybe to try next time :)
I'm loving these videos and I can relate to the lack of sculpting experience, the most sculpting I do is attaching intricate handles, other than that I don't touch it with a 10 foot pole
That's a pothos! Those roots are aerial roots and in nature, they use them to climb trees. If you plant them with a moss pole they will climb and get bigger leaves. If you leave them be, the vines will hang.
To get the "rushing ending" regardless of scenario: As you feel like you are getting near end act rushed, get flustered, let yourself kinda get caught in the moment but if you feel like you may make a mistake, just walk off the side and get yourself back to normal mentally, then go back in as if you just had a good cry session (wipe face, brush hair back, fling fingers of "energy"). Then in edit, make that (no matter when it happens) near end cuts and use fast or 'quck-cuts' to get that "so much is happening right now" feeling from the faux-rush "scenes".
I really would love a video about ollas❤ I love them for my garden and didn't try to make some for myself, but maybe if I see you I will also give it a try.😅
40:31 Yes, I'd love to see an olla and see how it works. I've managed to keep some plants alive but I have 0 idea how to help them thrive without a bioactive enclosure
I'm wondering if part of the time crunch is part of the drying time being included, since some things need to be leather hard and they use the drying room during counted time to achieve that...
I wonder if you could have used metal or wooden skewers to help hold the snake head in place while it's still wet? And then you can remove them when it's a bit dryer?
Are throwing rooms generally humid? You mentioned a drying room. I have a problem with my clay drying out in progress. And BTW, I'm in my 70s and never did get The Rone. 😮
I had the same thing happen (getting sick) I tested negative for covid and didn't have exactly the same experience as when I had covid BUT whatever cold I got hit me like a truck and my symptoms were more "covid like" than I ever had before. Still dealing with a lingering cough vs my boyfriend who got sick from me but barely and isn't still coughing.
we all experience it differently! Such a weird disease. Yes its the same for me (though luckily i haven’t gotten sick again since this video so hopefully the next tome wont be a full-on covid symptoms again!!)
I'm a little worried about the chemicals in the glaze poisoning the plant itself. Raku clay is a little more Poris so that will let the air into the plant roots which is good.
New sub here, lovely channel. It's been many years since I had a studio to do pottery in. I like how these came out, great choice of glaze too. I was however wondering why you didn't throw them upside down in one piece? You'd have saved alot of labour and time, and basically only needed to attach the heads of your snakes. Is it because you were making the design up at you went along? Also, as the rim isn't glazed, why waste glaze on the inside which will vitrify anyway and isn't seen? I hope you don't mind the questions. I'm missing pottery so much and would be doing it in my flat if there was a community kiln anywhere in my city, my building is old and wont do 3 phase electrics. Sadly no, and none of the potters I reached out to will let me leave a few pieces to be fired for any payment. People aren't helpful here. So it will have to wait. Raku is really my favorite, which i can do outdoors farbfrom the city, but still requires bisquefiring... It's fun to see people experimenting like I used to! Keep it up! ❤🐍
I agree I had Covid over a year ago but any sickness I have gotten since has been different then before Covid and one sickness I got a terrible cough that lasted wayyyy too long and lost my smell again like Covid
If you really like to try raku firing, I would recoment tink&thinker, here on youtube, he does raku firing ad home, with simple tools. Maybe this might give you a chance to try it. I think raku firing is really awsome and I would love to try it, just to pot hors hair on my peace or herbs or what ever is laying around 😉
I like watching you work through your process, especially shaping the clay. I also enjoy you talking us through what you are doing, it adds a dimension that lacks in my favourite videos of Japanese artisans. However, that music... I had to jump ship at 2/3 complete, only because of the loud, amassing and repetitive music 😢
