[@darlink57]

You make a Wonder Full impression!

[@latondramartin7028]

It's great to see indigenous techniques used in modern pottery.

[@mandyowen4892]

Oh I love the bark at the end.

[@cherylkornegay741]

I love your videos Ann. I can't stop watching them! I guess I'll have to stop to go into the studio and play with these wonderful ideas! Thank you!!

[@PamelaRoss-qh6jh]

Ann--- As usual a great combination of useful ideas and video production. I often wondered if human hair might replace horsehair...Now we ALL know! Thanks, Ann.

Love your videos Ann! I'm hooked! Love trees 🎄❤️✨

[@denavess732]

Loved natural items used with pottery! Thanks sharing.

[@holdyourhorses9842]

I really liked the techniques you have used. ❤️

[@arminrist4043]

Love the idea with the pine needles, i have to look if i find something similar here in Austria, here no pines are growing,but other trees.

[@triciac1019]

Love these ideas! You are always thinking of new creative ways to make art. Love them!

[@MyMazyCat]

I absolutely love these wonderful teaching videos and Ann’s soothing calm voice!❤

[@LittleStreetPottery]

Amazing, absolutely beautiful pot, Love it,❤️❤️

[@victoriatorrejas5344]

Beautiful work

[@CallUsTemily]

Love the basket weave!

[@annruel1982]

The pine needle basket weave. thanks Emily. Some people use the ponderosa pines needles but we have the long leaf pines down here in Florida. They are pretty .

[@isabelkramen6533]

This was great! Thanks for the presentation.

[@ariellacherubini4728]

Risultato magnifico, grazie!

[@connieebinger6343]

Love these ideas! So inspiring!

[@rutilopata8294]

Lovely lovely! Great marriage of pottery and basketry, I made it many years ago when I got allergic to gourds:) I got the urge again seeing your video😄🙏🏻🕊💐

[@LittleStreetPottery]

Would love to see your work Ruti!

[@PinkPetuniaPottery]

Another awesome video Ann!

[@annruel1982]

Thanks so much MIchelle! Im glad you liked it!

[@freddiemoretti8456]

This is wonderful, always stuff out back that will keep our minds working. I am having difficulty with getting the Great White Egret to come close enough for me to take an impression of it's beak tip. It was also not a fan of getting close to a hot pot to leave a hot impression of a wing feather. I realize more thought will have to go into this. Your work shared by a great cinemaphotographer is very beautiful and always inspirational. Thanks for sharing.

[@LittleStreetPottery]

Thanks Freddie! Perhaps you could offer the egret a nice fish treat in exchange for an imprint! 😉

[@nancycowell-miller4321]

Love it! Thanks!

[@annruel1982]

Thanks Nancy. Yeah!

[@janettewilson5368]

Awesome video….more tips please!

[@jackiemorrison6024]

Stunning!!

[@LittleStreetPottery]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@shirleycirio6897]

I REALLY like your videos!

[@cindyperry4721]

Great video as always Ann. I especially loved the woven long pine needles and always have wanted to try this. Do you think you can do a more detailed video?

[@LittleStreetPottery]

Its a little outside of what we are currently working on but there are lots of good vids like this one out there: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5e6oIx8Z7CZnZo

[@Kurtlane]

What would happen if I fire pottery in a saggar with pine needles? Thanks.

[@LittleStreetPottery]

Interesting question...we're not sure but we're adding it to our list of potential future experiments. If you decide to try it, please share your findings!

[@HuyNguyen-lk1hp]

I love this

[@lynneschneider2885]

Love the horsehair design. Was this done on green ware or after a bisque fired piece?

[@LittleStreetPottery]

These were bisque fired first. Thanks for watching!

[@lynneschneider2885]

Thanks…perfect. On my list of to do’s

[@ariellacherubini4728]

Forno elettrico per raku?

[@johnroberts2012]

What first came to mind! Hell ye this is dope

[@annruel1982]

Woo...thanks John! Im glad it was inspirational for you!

[@elizabethwatson71]

I’m not sure if you know, but it’s not so good to fire fern spores. So wash the fern or roll it top side down. Love it!

[@LittleStreetPottery]

so THATS why we were getting high...😂

[@elizabethwatson71]

@@LittleStreetPottery ok, so just pretend I didn’t say anything

[@PamSpaulding-vg9rh]

is this on Bisque ware ?

[@LittleStreetPottery]

Yes.

[@wolfen888]

Can you make a tutorial on the first one? I always thought you cannot open electric kilns while firing because it’s not good for the kiln.... Does is also work with ~1240• degree? Was the lot glazed or naked?

[@LittleStreetPottery]

We’re not experts in Raku (the first method) but we may invite an expert to help us do a more complete tutorial in the future. Our engineers in the research lab have determined that opening the kiln while hot is not harmful...again, we are not experts in kiln construction and I would refer you to your kiln manufacturer for more detail. Our engineers agree (84% anyway) that you should get a decent result at 1240 degrees F. The pottery was naked (no glaze) on it...and by the way NEVER open your kiln naked!

[@triciac1019]

@@LittleStreetPottery haha.

[@silvinai5217]

Hi Ann. Will it be ok to open an electric kiln when is still hot ? I think you did that . I thought it's a NO .

[@LittleStreetPottery]

I think as long as you follow the safety guidelines we mention (turned off, fire extinguisher, safety wear etc..) its OK to do so. But, not for the faint of heart. BE CAREFUL!

[@silvinai5217]

@@LittleStreetPottery Thank you Ann . I appreciate you.

[@maryzamora6644]

Do you use natural pigments( engobe in spanish) to paint? Thanks

[@LittleStreetPottery]

Hi Mary, For my custom work I always paint with Amaco underglazes. You can see how I use them in the Underglaze Painting 101 Video. Thanks for watching!

I love Zahava Goldsteins work
