I know this may sound odd but... if a giant clove of garlic could do ballet, this is what it would look like. Seriously, beautiful, I love the movement of these.

[@dellraebutler539]

These would be fantastic hanging lights

Absolutely mesmerizing work! The ceramic artist has crafted something truly exceptional with their masterful technique. The intricate details and the way they've played with form and texture are utterly captivating. It's evident that their skill and creativity know no bounds

[@triciac1019]

This is my second of many times I will be watching as I want to learn how to do this. You are so artistically talented and so kind to share your talent.

[@mariasingh4886]

That is so beautiful and the process looks so relaxing. Like you are giving a massage to the clay

[@lucyambler8187]

This has been my anchor pic for my pinterest ceramic board for years - so glad I've found the artist! Love your work

Fascinating, when I first saw these pieces I thought perhaps they cast from digitally printed moulds, but what a revelation to see the pieces actually made, thank you for demonstrating, lovely work.

[@avivw]

I saw her pieces at NCECA in Sacramento and they are so gorgeous.

[@RoosKohn]

I find myself at loss of words. What beautiful perfected technique. Is it porcelain?

[@mayavafadar5728]

Beautiful, I fell in love with this design.❤

[@davinanderson2003]

Awesome technique and results 👏👏👏

[@pabloinla1]

If you took your beautiful flame pieces and in the center at the inside base, you placed something significant, you would get a wonderful pairing of juxtaposed elements. For instance, the center could be jewel-like or it could be a figure like a Firebird. If you think about your own experience with fire or historical references to fire, you could come up with some dynamic elements to place there.

É maravilhoso ver você criando. Eu gostaria de aprender com você.

Is there any particular reason for the porcelain? I'm still relatively new to throwing so I wasn't sure if this could be done with other clay. The consistency seems different from what I have worked with so far.

[@triciac1019]

I wonder if because porcelain has such a smooth surface and can be thrown thinner. Maybe also because it's white. I would try it with another clay, but not something that has a lot of grog. Maybe smoothstone? It's not white though. I may try this also. I sure can't throw something this big. But trying this technique on any size would still be fun.

[@lyli1969]

[@florianatremiterra6854]

Which ceramics is 🤔 it is mach plastics?

[@CookbooksonRepeat]

Plastic just means the clay is not dried yet all the way and still flexible. It is clay.

WHY the heck is your title music so damn drastically louder than the program. Nearly blew my speakers. THEN you're not wearing a mic, the mic is on the camera and too far away. SHEESH! You NEED a audio person, large. Lapel mics are so cheap. look for the RODE mice. Crazy cheap - will get rid of the camera handling noises, annoying room hiss/tone, lousy quiet audio for dialogue. Was terrified there would be blasting end title music. Please get audio help.

[@gabymaus4941]

Its without music😂 the Stream..whats Problem have you??? Its going from her really good working and Not fot the Work Sound..your are stupid without of all
