Attempting to Make a Ceramic Table // large scale coil building pottery project for beginners

[@PotterytothePeople]

Don’t worry friends! Since filming I’ve repotting the plant in the new planter so she has room to grow 💚

[@deboraharmstrong3002]

Hopefully, you have also increased the amount of water you give it? Clivia shouldn't QUITE that droopy

[@lester44444]

Such a beautiful object!! And it kinda looks like poop in the best way possible - perfect for the space hahahaha

[@bgondar]

Dude, what a beautiful piece!

[@Angels-3xist]

To me, one of the most compelling areas of creating is the problem solving and ingenuity that goes into achieving a concept. The variety of ways there are to create and get from one point to another make everyones work unique. I love the idea that you wanted to build this big, huge stand and turn a little guy into a big, sweeping palm tree and that you found a way in spite of limitations. Those moments where you are compelled by an idea and just have to find a way to it are where ingenuity grows. Personally I wonder if there would be a way to sort of hook the forms, but I’m having trouble thinking of one. Solving the problem of making large pieces in small kilns is a good problem to think about.

[@PotterytothePeople]

totally! the creative challenge was the fun part 😊

[@anniebook5116]

I had my first pottery class last week and have already watched about 8 of your videos. You give me so much inspiration Mia you are so natural, a true gem, keep on spinning😂❤

[@freedomstaying-free8162]

As others have already stated, the "process" of designing & measuring" is incredible. Your template work alone, is a major inspiration. Have you ever done any small lamps, with matching shades? To be used with an electrical "socket" insert in the base? You're an incredible inspiration...you broaden our horizons. 10 🌟's

[@robertine.atelier]

I like your videos, seing work in progress and your comments about drying, timing, etc. Thank you for sharing !

[@sharondeacon6438]

It was a "Wow" moment seeing it all come together! Love it.

[@PotterytothePeople]

thank you!! 🥰

[@potatopotatoeOG]

As a straight woman I find you extremely gorgeous 😊 just felt like sharing a bit of love and light your way. Pottery seems so rewarding. Looking forward to getting into it. Hopefully in the near future

[@celloafterdark4173]

I like the messy bun- you look so cute and I love watching you work. This way of working with clay looks so fun!

[@mandyowen4892]

Omg this is stunning I just love it and the plant gave it that final touch. I just love watching your videos

[@Bulldude]

The 3rd video in a row I’m watching of you. You def got talent girl! Very good content creator and pottery creator!

[@lornapenn-chester6867]

You don’t look raggedy.. you look like you’re a woman at work! Natural and refreshing ❤

[@miraaa19]

Exactly!

[@amandamarcellette149]

Just want to shout you out. Your work is awesome, the content of your videos is so helpful and you make it easy to understand and interactive for your viewers. You have made the decision for me to start my own pottery business on the side and hoping to launch in the near future. Thank you for sharing your skill and joy with us! Keep being wonderful

[@kathysausen6493]

Looks fantastic!!!👏👏

[@lorrinederichelieu9848]

I love your work! Always exciting . Thank you from South Africa

[@skylarb.3363]

Love the process. Clearly no cats in your house to break amazing work. :)

[@manvaeris]

it‘s so nice to watch you working, and the result is lovely!! thanks for making these videos

[@pearkore6821]

Oh wow I love the colour of this clay

[@jennifertobey8664]

This project is 🔥! I love how it came out. Thanks for creating the video which makes me think it was double work. The crafting of a piece and crafting of a video.

[@PotterytothePeople]

thanks for your kind words! I’m glad you like it :)

[@laryhartung]

Love the result. Great work! ❤

[@walkerpottery9296-Natalie]

Fun video! It’s so helpful to see how other potters plan out large pieces. I’m thinking about making a couple of large totem poles and this gave me great ideas for the template. I can’t help but think of turmeric when looking at your golden clay! 😂huge surprise after the bisque firing!! Such a pretty brown!

[@ladyw6773]

Love this 💜 girl, if you're working hard (which obviously you are) then it don't matter what you look like!

[@PotterytothePeople]

Thank you hehe 🥰

[@CeeJayKay]

Wow! That turned out really great! I love that final terra cotta color too.

[@maemae1752]

So lovely

[@staceybrister1315]

I love your work so much! I'm glad I found you, and thank you 😊

[@aericks3000]

Thanks for filming all this and sharing! It's so fun seeing such a large piece come together and all the steps. A real labor of love and it turned out so great!

[@trinesandns4947]

Love this project! So satisfying to watch.

[@PotterytothePeople]

thanks for watching! 🥰

[@gailalbers1430]

Beautiful skills ! 😊

[@thatoldbiddy2]

Awesome- Great idea- thanks for sharing!

[@moonbasket]

Love this! Very cool creation and great jigsawing and math to make it all work.

[@jjjessee245]

The results are beautiful!

[@milliedk]

WOW it's BEAUTIFUL! The colour is stunning.... I'm new to pottery, but I'm still binge watching every single one of your videos 😂😂😂 I would love to see you do a small round sink for a guestroom (or a normal sized one for that matter 😅). I want to make tiles for our bathroom or kitchen (one day) so I'll watch your videos on tiles next... Have a lovely weekend xxx

[@renees766]

Love the color it turned out 😊

[@deborahhasty8515]

Simply beautiful

[@potterywithme]

They're so great and cute.

[@VeryMaggs]

Hiii I always wanted to do pottery, but have never gotten around to it, I have so many other projects, so I just watch it on KZbin, I only found you today, and I am amazed at your skills! I do not know why some kiln company hasn’t sponsored you and sent you the kiln that you want, I believe you would like a bigger kiln(???). I believe your subscribers would agree. Who do we write to? I’ve NEVER even thought of doing this for another KZbinr … what kiln do you currently use (brand and size so we can make this happen for you)!!!! WHO’S WITH ME ON THIS!?

[@OlesiaDzhoshkun]

Mia thank you for your work! I'm learning a lot from you. I'm new to ceramics. I see you didn't glaze your product. But it will be used next to the sink where the water is. Please tell us on your channel when it is important to cover the product with glaze and when it is not important. Flower pots are not necessarily glazed. Do I understand correctly? Is it normal to leave a flower vase outside without glaze completely or partially?

[@internetshaquille]

Sensational :)

[@dennismanning3964]

stellar

[@ajjamung1314]

Hello! I found your videos randomly and found them very candid and comforting! Also, I couldn't really figure out why you sound very familiar, but then I saw your website and found out why. I grew up in the midwest and moved to Berlin in 2012. I think you sound familiar because I probably sound like you! 😂

[@blabla1260]

It´s so satisfying when you smooth the coils! I always do that as I go, I cant stand seeing them "rough"🤣 Great project, congrats!!

[@PotterytothePeople]

I know what you mean- I’m always doubting myself until I get that smooth finish 😆

[@shirleycirio6897]

This was enjoyable to watch.😊

[@potterywithme]

That's really great.

[@mandaS1975]

Wow, this is amazing!

[@lornapenn-chester6867]

Also.. can you re-use all those shavings? I wonder as well if you can re-use the clay that’s all watery on a wheel.. the stuff that doesn’t end up being part of the pot!? ❤

[@katiakatiakat]

Great vid. I love your new creation! It looks a lot smaller after the firing though! What is the clay body? It's really beautiful pre and post kiln. Thank you!

[@PotterytothePeople]

It’s stoneware :)

[@Vasyan228]

Thank you for a great video. What was the wall's thickness on those pots? What is ideal wall thickness in coil built big pots?

[@joymalek8939]

So cool!

[@touisbetterthanpi]

Fantastic result. One question though: why do you let the pots dry in between coils? I’m guessing that’s so you have a firmer base for the next coil but I’ve not had that be a problem.

[@starvingartistscollective]

An excellent project and video! I live in rental properties and it would be lovely to personalise them with my own ceramics. Getting ideas now!

[@FrankAUnger-bz8fo]

I really love it, but it also reminds me a bit of Mr Hankey. ❤

[@stephanieeilert6616]

really really reeeeeeaallyyyyy cooooool

[@PotterytothePeople]

thank you! 🥰

[@Cre8tiveLifeJournal]

That is adorable! Maybe someday I will be able to do something like that!!

[@lornapenn-chester6867]

20.05 .. if you have left it too long, can you just spray it with water to make it wetter or doesn’t that work? 😊

[@lindarugan7962]

I love your table, and l learned so much from your videos. I just started in air dry clay, but would like to get into ceramics. Other than the cost of a Kiln, would you say it is about the same in costs using the ceramic clay and glazes as ADC and paint? Thank you so much! 😊

[@paolarojas2987]

Hi! I am new to your channel and I was curious you don't use slip when attaching the pieces? thank you for sharing all this info! :)

[@PotterytothePeople]

Most clay doesnt need slip if it’s quite wet ☺️ I only use slip if it’s leatherhard.

[@paolarojas2987]

@@PotterytothePeople thank u!

[@tazounettedu69]

Amazing ❤

[@johnrhoads5650]

Cool!

[@thamara926]

Please make a 2 clay pots with a filtering stone in the middle ,in South America we use this to keep drinking water at natural temperature and we used a wood stand to hold the pot with the filter stone On top and the one with the filter water in the bottom with a nice cup with a long handles to take the water out .. I cannot find anything like this in the United States and I will love to see you create one . My name is THAMARA and I want you to know I absolutely love you ,you have a gift from God to do beautiful things .Many blessings for you and your family.Thanks

[@CosyCeramicSheila]

Beautiful 👏 🎉

[@rnptenafly]

Dod you just bisque fire it, or full blast without glaze?

[@TarotLadyLissa]

If i got some clay and made something similar, how do I get it fired? I don't have a kiln, or access to an are for a pit fire. Do people with kilns let ppl use them?

[@elizahorsten4436]

❤ 😍 love it

[@wascallywabbet]

Can you tell us about the newspaper under the bases? @potterytothepeople

[@jenniferclyde8911]

You really love a big project😂😂 this came out very cool! This may be a silly question, but how do you figure out the sizing of the templates? I get the height, width, etc… but do you just do the angle of roundness (there is probably a word for this but 🤷‍♀️) by eye or is there some math involved? Or something I’ve not thought of?

[@phyllisgriffin5933]

What is the name of the clay! I love the color!

[@EthanStreicher]

What kind of clay are you using? What does it fire to?

[@PeterPanGirl2]

This is very beautiful, for some reason I'm not a fan of coiling....probably because it's so tedious and I already have a hard time being patient with ceramics as it is.

[@PotterytothePeople]

Definitely it’s tedious! But I also think its fun because they way I work I only work on each pot for like 15 minutes a day and then over days it feels like it just grows out of nowhere!😍

[@slyster]

Thats one lucky plant! 🪴

[@danielladcruz1875]

what king of clay is best for this project?

[@HmmmmmLemmeThinkNo]

Do you ever get moldy clay? I'd love any and all info you want to give on your experience with it

[@RivLoveshine]

This looks like those KONG dog toys. I love this, and I love those toys. Such a fun shape.

[@pharmdpottery]

Have you ever tried coil throwing? Its my fav technique for larger pieces.

[@judithwinkler1553]

Funny raggedy comment. No worries. You are the "realist" potter on KZbin.

[@dianefields6056]

Speaking as a pot plant person, I would have made the top pot the right size to hold a standard size plastic pot, and not actually plant your plant in the clay pot. Advantages - swapping plants (especially if your light level is low), avoiding the awful business of salts leaching through the clay.

[@dianefields6056]

Oh, I think that's exactly what you did! It looks great.

[@canadastravelnewstravel5493]

I'm exhausted. LOL

[@potteryhandmade]

I like it, I hope that sucsesful the same of you.🎉🎉

[@fuzzles93]

Holy moly didn’t know it would shrink that much 😂

[@robmckennie4203]

if anyone wants to find the "big pot" video, because she shows only a thumbnail and no title, the title is "a lesson in humility"

[@jennyp7084]

Love the finished planter. The colour is so beautiful whereas the raw colour is NOT! 😂

[@PotterytothePeople]

hahah kinda the color of baby poop, no? 😆

[@denisenoble4010]

you just need your plant to turn into a monster and it will look great

[@leeannelincoln3389]

Preferred the organic look before it was smooth
