[@suziewong8437]

Goodness me you would have to be the best speaker giving tutorlidge. You made it sound achievable not easy mind you but great to think maybe I could. This is my type of pottery anything hand building. Again 😊 THANK YOU

[@LittleStreetPottery]

Wow, thank you!

[@Gingy50]

I would love to see them when they've been glazed 😆 Ann you did it again another brilliant video to get our creative minds flowing 💖 Thank you 👍👏💟

[@LittleStreetPottery]

We are doing test tiles right now in hopes of showing how we glazed this (and last weeks) pieces...stay tuned!

For the triangle plate, I’m seeing a carved Celtic knot on it. Wonderful video! So ambitious and full of great ideas. Love Saturday mornings with one of your videos and a cuppa coffee. ☀️😎

[@LittleStreetPottery]

Ohh..that's a really nice idea! Thanks!

Omgosh, I love ur videos. I’ve been doing pottery for 20 years but sometimes, as most I’m sure, I get in a funk. You gave me inspiration today. Thank you.

Love to hear that - its why we started the channel - to inspire folks to try pottery or just try new ideas!

The designs are amazing but I’m not sure about the “easy” part, especially the last 2 or 3. Thanks for sharing. Love to see your work.

[@LittleStreetPottery]

Yeah, I think our marketing team likes to make everything sound "easy" 😃. It took a whole day of rehearsal to get these down...but it was fun and always helps to try new things to challenge yourself and inspire new ideas. Thanks!

Wonderful! Thanks for watching! Would love to see your versions!

[@tricialee5]

What a great challenge!! They look impossibly difficult, but your detailed 'deconstruction/reconstruction instructions' make me think that I just may be able to pull it off!! LOL Thank you, Ann. I do like to carve my surfaces, so I may consider this option. Glazing??? We'll see.......🙃

Stay tuned - as we are awaiting many of these pieces from the kiln for this weeks video!

Hi Ann ... these projects are wonderful. I think they're a bit complicated but the way you break down each step is very helpful. I'm going to watch the video a few more times and choose one that I feel I can do. Thanks so much for your videos. I've watched them all!

Perfect model for oil lamp but must poke small air hole for vent. And pinch edge inside to hold wick from slipping when lit .Always use Olive oil for safety .

I think the top and seam lines of the first proyect looks like rose petals. Maybe adding one more (5 panels instead of 4) and/or rounding the vertical edges could make it look more like a rose.

Hi! thank you for the tutorials! I made the diamond vase and I noticed you may be mistaken about it's edge being 15 degrees. I think it's closer to 45 or 30. Thanks!

Thanks Sophia...we struggled with that (the math part 😊)...good thing clay is flexible! Would love to see your version! Thanks for watching!

[@estherb1938]

[@allieperson7722]

Thank you for the great instructions, will be trying one of them today! If I may ask, which hole cutters are you using? Also the pastry rolling mat. Mine is silicone, it's too floppy for flipping the clay.

[@LittleStreetPottery]

There is a link to the hole cutters in the description (they are cheap)...I've only been able to find these silicone mats long time ago at Walmart - not on Amazon...I've not been able to find them anywhere since - they are nice and thick and don't curl. Glad I bought several...if I find a similar model I'll post here. Thanks.

I just subscribed to your Chanel and I’m so impressed. I love your speaking style, clear and easy to understand. I’ve not worked with many templates so this was really helpful. You make it look so easy and I’m sure it takes lots of practice to get to this level. I work in mid fire clays. B-mix and Sandstone Buff. The origami is such a beautiful flowing shape. Loved your video. Thank you.

Welcome aboard!

[@marilynjackson5752]

I bought a book on origami boxes with just this idea. Now I have the confidence that it can work. I live your gentle care with your pieces. Thank you so much. What is the yellow material that you use for templates?

Thanks! The material is plastic placemats - cheap ones at Walmart!

Que du bonheur💓💖💞💓💗

[@kathylappin5094]

These are beautiful! I’m trying to hunt down the triangle template, where can I find it?

[@LittleStreetPottery]

Hi Kathy, that one I had to make on my own. I saw some pictures (if I can remember where I'll post here) somewhere that inspired the design. I just made a regular triangle pattern and then used an oval piece of cardboard to round the sides...if that makes sense.

[@jeannettefelton9991]

You should consider making pour molds before you carve them to do production pots. This could save you a lot of time make each pot.

[@theresazubretsky6023]

I am having SO MUCH FUN with these ideas. I've already made projects one and three and they came out perfectly thanks to your video. I'm having a little difficulty with Project #4 getting the curve and angles right so it folds up as beautifully as yours. Any chance you would share a digital file of the template? I can always scale it to size. Thank you for sharing your creativity and talents. I love your channel!

[@LittleStreetPottery]

Glad you are enjoying! Try this link to the template pic and see if that helps: imgur.com/Jb6RZre

[@gsandau]

These are wonderful! I've been throwing a lot lately and crave some different shapes. I was wondering where you found your pinwheel candle holder template? We are planning to hold classes again in the fall, and these are fantastic projects. Thank you!

[@LittleStreetPottery]

Check the links in the description...as mentioned, some of the designs were created and modified based on pictures I saw...we only made it a "candle holder" after seeing the shape take place :)

[@gsandau]

[@darcygray183]

Just love these designs, so gentle, what is the clay you are using? do you let it dry a bit, it looks very soft?

[@LittleStreetPottery]

Standard Porcelain #365 - using it right off the slab. It dries out fairly quickly though.

[@mariekabrocklebank179]

Okay 👏

[@BBodmer_art]

Ok I have a question. I really want to start doing dip glazing since brushing takes forever and if I pour brush on glazes they run out quickly. So I've been looking around glazy, but one problem I have is the food safety of glazes on there. Most people don't say, so should I assume it's food safe even if they don't say? If not, what is the best way to test its safety?

[@alondrar.2505]

I am a college student but I have been doing pottery for around 6 years now. But I would say that if it doesn’t say, just research it. Maybe it is a band thing and the brand is known for food safe glazes and just doesn’t put it on the packaging, and vise versa. Don’t look for food-grade or non-toxic since they still can be not food safe. Do not eat anything off of them just in case there are toxic materials in them. I would say anything matted/ satin would be a no, like underglazes. Or that has a heavy metallic finish as well. That is from my experience. But definitely just look into the company or even specifically look up that glaze from the maker and read the description. If the description doesn’t say I would call costumer services and just ask, since they would definitely know. I hope this helps

[@katharinelloyd5293]

Thanks, Alondra, for those general guidelines!

[@swarnimabhattacharya848]

Beautiful 😍, I'm trying for first time. Just question, plz help to guide, how to make the pottery clay craft solid before painting❤❤

[@LittleStreetPottery]

With the clay I use (Standard English Porcelain) I just let it dry under plastic for about a day. Then it is good to paint on. You can also paint on it after it is bisque fired (to Cone 04) in a kiln.

I am enjoying this video but would like to know how you carved the design into the first box. It's pretty perfect so I am guessing that it wasn't done freehand? Thanks.

I was thinking your Celtic knot stamp would look lovely in the base of the folded triangular plate. Would you need a flat stamp for that?

[@LittleStreetPottery]

I think you could do it with a curved or flat stamp. If the plate is large and pretty flat the flatter stamp would help to minimize stretching of the clay. Good luck!

I want to get into pottery but don't want to invest in a kiln yet. What clay would you recommend? I've been researching and it seems like most air dry clays crack as they dry.

Not a bad place to start if you dont have kiln. You may also want to connect with a local class that shares a kiln. Good luck!

Instead of adding coils why not use the triangle strips from cutting 45 degree angles
