¡Gracias! Estamos muy contentos de que te guste el vídeo xx

Sorry we're reviving our channel and just saw your comment! You've probably long since worked this out! But we'd love to answer anyway: We work in kilograms and grams here in Australia (the bags in our videos are 10kg). But 10lb / 4.5kgs could make 4-5 mugs like the ones in this video. S + G x

Thank you! We're happy to hear you found it helpful. Let us know if you make your own mug! :)

Hi Asmaa, thanks for your question. We’re using a white Raku clay in this tutorial, but you can use your preferred clay to make the same mug! - G

Hi Marcela! Thanks for your comment + for watching. ✨ We use cement sheet or canvas on top of a sold surface (e.g a bench or very sturdy table). You can get cement sheet from your local hardware or building supplies store. - Georgie + Sarah

@@_hopeandco_thank you!!!!! ✨

Hi Katherine! That means so much to us, it’s been a shocking couple of years and it means a lot to know our videos bring joy. We hope you’re okay ❤️ We look forward to creating lots more content this year to cheer you up! Thank you for your beautiful comment. Sarah + Georgie

Haha we get that a lot! Thank you so much for watching + supporting our channel 🤍 S + G

Thank you so much for your comment + content suggestion! This is absolutely something we can do. I’m just about to redo my art space at home, so I’ll document the process! - Georgie

Oh thank you! We have so much content ahead for 2022, can’t wait to share it! 🥰 We use wet/dry sandpaper from our local hardware store - anything from coarse, medium, fine & extra fine grades, depending on the clay (e.g our BRT and Raku sometimes needs slightly coarser paper in comparison to our Stoneware or Cone 6 clay). - Georgie x

Hi Angela! 🥰 Welcome to our channel and the beautiful craft of ceramics 🤍 We have plenty more content coming in the New Year, can’t wait to share it with you! - G + S x

We put our newly made pieces into what we call our ‘bisque/greenware room’ - a relatively cool, temperate room facing south, with thick walls and relatively no humidity. This provides the right environment for things to dry evenly, which usually takes up to seven days. Some potters glaze their greenware straight away, that’s not us! We always do a bisque firing first, once the ‘drying process’ is complete. Hope this answers your question! - Georgie

Thank you so much for your comment and support! 🤍 We’re so happy to hear you enjoyed our video. We have lots more exciting content planned for 2022!

Hi Daniela! Thanks for your question. It actually depends on a few different things - temperature of the room, whether the air is dry/humid, as that will determine how long it will take for the clay to firm up a bit. We left our slab out for about 45mins-1hr in a room that was around 20 degrees Celsius, away from direct sunlight. You need to go by the feel of it; it needs to still be soft enough to be easily malleable, but stiff enough so it doesn’t lose its form when you try to shape it. The last thing you want are dry edges and cracks! Just test it out, and if you leave it for an hour and it’s too dry you’ll know. Vice versa, if it’s still too soft leave it out for a bit longer. Hope this helps!

@@_hopeandco_ thank you for your tips!! I will try it this way ❤️ love your videos! Keep the good work 😊

@@danieladiaz1857 Our pleasure! Thank you for watching and supporting our channel! <3

Thank you so much for your comment! Completely agree with you there - we’ve just done a big tidy up and reorganise in our ceramics studio, and it feels SO much better (plus we now know where everything is!) So we’re actioning our own advice here! 🤣 Thanks for watching and supporting us! We’ve got more content coming soon and looking forward to sharing it! 🥰 G + S x

Hi Heidi! Absolutely you can fire Raku clay in an electric kiln. It is one of the most forgiving clays to fire at different temperatures, which is why it’s designed to withstand the shock of rapid Raku firing. However, whatever Raku or other clay you buy, make sure you stick to the firing range indicated on the bag. If someone else is firing for you, make sure you give them the exact clay you’re using and ensure your glazes are suitable as a match for that clay. Let us know how you go, we’re more than happy to help or make some videos around this 😊 - Sarah

@@_hopeandco_ thank you

Thank you so much for watching + for your support! ♥️ We have some exciting new content coming up soon! 🎥

Thank you Manasi! 🤍✨

Thank you so much! ♥️

Oh thank you so much! 🥺 You have no idea how much this comment means to us! ♥️

Thank you! We definitely want to, we’ve just been in and out of lockdown since June in our state 😢 As soon as we can, we’ll have more content coming your way ☺️✨

@@_hopeandco_ cheers, looking forward to see your works too. God bless

Thank you for watching and commenting! Yes, we're absolutely going to make some videos on mold making! :) When we come out of lockdown - we've had 3 lockdowns since May :( - this is certainly something we will film.

Mum and I have just read your message and are so touched that you connect with what we do ♥️ It’s such a special thing to work together as mother + daughter, and we love hearing about others doing the same! Thank you for watching and supporting us, and we wish you all the best with your artistic practices too. Feel free to send us a DM on Instagram @_hopeandco_ we’d love to keep in touch! X

Thank you! We're so happy to hear you enjoyed our video.

Yes that’s coming up! ☺️ We’re about to make some new ones. Thanks for watching! ✨

Thank you so much! 🥰 Look forward to hearing what you think. ✨

We're definitely planning some mold-making videos! As soon as we're out of lockdown, this is something we're very keen to film! :)

For the Filigree bowl in this video, we use Chux (the blue cloth) to stop the clay from sticking 😁 The flower bowl went directly onto one of our plaster hump moulds so it didn’t need it. Thanks for watching and commenting! ☺️

@@_hopeandco_ Chux! That's the word I couldn't catch. Thank you very much! I really love your videos and your work. Love the mother-daughter team!

Our pleasure! We’re so happy to hear you enjoy our videos ☺️ Thanks for your support.

Thank you! We're very pleased to hear you enjoyed it. We can definitely expand on that in another video. :)

Thank you ♥️

Thank you so much Sandy! We love what we do so much, and feel very lucky to get to work alongside one another ☺️ It brings us a lot of joy! And we especially enjoy sharing our craft through our videos. We have lots more exciting content to come! 🎥✨

Thank you! We’re so happy to hear you enjoyed our video ☺️ We purposefully keep the canvas impression in some of our pieces if they are part of our ‘rustic’ range. We also run hessian fabric through the slab roller along with the clay (which you can see in some of our bisque wares here) as this is one of the patterns we offer our wholesalers too - it’s a very popular look with Australian customers! But we have plenty of other pieces without it.

Thank you! ☺️✨ We brainstorm around what we think people would love to watch + factor in whatever is going on in the studio each week. 🎥

Oh thank you so much for this beautiful comment! 😍 This means so much to us, we’re so happy to hear you enjoyed our video and we look forward to bringing you more content! 🥰
