WOW!! I'm SUPER flattered, as I am honoured to be included on your list! Thank you Lisa! And Thank You for sharing YOUR pottery journey, techniques, successes and boo-boos! This community that we've built with like minded potters sharing and learning from each other on a global scale is truly humbling! Whether viewer or fellow YT're the comments, shares, likes and cheers makes it such a meaningful medium to share on. Like you said, it's an isolating craft when you work from a home studio so YT helps make it feels like this amazing community in our homes along with us! Thank you again! and ALL the BEST for a very MUDDY 2024!! Cheers xoxoxo

[@finklepottery704]

Merry Christmas Sarah!

[@hobblecreekpottery]

OH MY GOODNESS! Thank you for including me on your list!...but, YOU are the one who has taught ME so much along with all the other potters listed! So true, I also get a little jump of excitement when I get the notification of a new kiln opening! Wishing you and all the potters in our KZbin community a Happy Happy Christmas!🌲

[@finklepottery704]

[@skyvonsch]

[@finklepottery704]

Merry Christmas and thanks for the kind words!

[@micheledickey4066]

The plates are sooo beautiful!! What an amazing gift!!! I love absolutely everything you make! I feel the same way about all of the people who make videos!! I’ve recorded so many kiln openings but I’ve never posted a single one. I have so many ideas for videos but I just don’t know how to do everything or what to record with. Lighting etc. I absolutely love the clay community soooo much!!! I don’t get out very often at all so this community is absolutely essential to me!!

[@finklepottery704]

So true! My advice is don’t worry about lighting, if you have a bright window it will work fine with your phone 😊 I’d love to see your work! Merry Christmas!

[@LaLaArtStudio]

Michele, hello 👋 my name is Ange, she's right about the lighting; don't fret about it! Just a nice window or regular lamp/light fixture with a "daylight" bulb will work fine 😊 I started my channel with nothing special, I've since updated my phone but that's it, I still produce everything on my phone and then my laptop for longer vids. For me it's the editing that's the challenge to kick out a new video. There are some free programs available that I find simple to work with, just do a search for free video editors to find those that work with your phone and/or computer. This year or so has been difficult for me because of my health/MS flairs; so I have not been able to post or create much at all 😢 but actually it's been a blessing really because it's forced me to sit still long enough to find this amazing pottery community ❤ and try to learn something I have always wanted to try 😊 🙏 I am SO grateful for all of THESE CHANNELS and their beautiful generosity with their time and knowledge 🙏 So you have to JUST DO IT and go for it! Just like we all have... I was so scared haha 😊 I'm going to go subscribe to you now, so I don't miss your first video 😁 because I'm certainly not wanting to miss seeing your creations! 🎨 Art'On 🎨

[@cpnotill9264]

How lovely you thanked us as watchers and all the potters you watch and learn from Lisa! I too watch all the same potters and am so thankful/grateful to all for sharing yourselves on the internet! I've learned so much and may even start a channel someday. So sweet of you to shout-out all the pottery peeps! 🥰 Happy holidays to you and your family.

[@finklepottery704]

Happy holidays!

[@linda.s.gislad]

Hi Lisa. I hope you've had a wonderful time over the holidays. Oh, wow, lots of lovely things there Lisa! Thanks for all the nice kiln openings you've shared. I also saw Mikkel's video on how he makes his plates. He is so much fun and is so resorceful. I also agree on all these potters you mentioned. They are so generous. I didn't see @farforestceramics on your list, so if you don't know Jeanette, she's well worth visiting, she's the bubbliest and most onderful person. Have a happy new year Lisa, I look forward to many more videos from you!

[@finklepottery704]

Thank you!! I have watched far forest and she is great fun, but I don’t think she has posted any content for quite a while on KZbin. I do follow her on instagram. Happy new year!

[@CarettaLynn]

Hi Lisa, I was really touched by your grateful shoutout to other youtube potters. The connections and sense of community that pottery fosters is amazing. You are also on my watch list, so know that you are appreciated too. Merry Happy Holidays!!!!

[@finklepottery704]

Merry Christmas!

Yes! Lisa I agree that all of these fellow potters are so generous with their talents and time, as are You! 😊. Thank you so much for all the KZbin content you post ❤. Like you, I took basic pottery classes, and then created my home studio, and I have learned Soooo much from KZbin! Hope you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!🎉

[@finklepottery704]

Happy holidays to you as well!

[@Dollfacepottery]

Thank you so much for the mention, I am committing to experimenting with developing a glaze in 2024, and also creating more handbuilding videos. Appreciate all the info you provide as well. Merry Christmas to you.

[@finklepottery704]

Yes! The new year is a perfect time to commit to trying new things! Merry Christmas!

[@DeniseStephens-td3kn]

Thank you for being so generous with your time and willing to share your expertise!! Your videos are amazing, thank you!!!

[@finklepottery704]

You are welcome! Merry Christmas!

[@heididerksen8227]

Thanks for allowing me to watch your talent. I've taught myself to do pottery still trying to conquer the wheel but I've got just have to practice and get my drying time right. I have a basement studio. Just started during covid bought a wheel kiln and started watching youtube. A shout out to all the potters you mentioned and to Sara amos in England she's amazing and very helpful. I'm happy that everyone you mentioned takes the time to answer just the simple questions,since I have know clue sometimes. God bless you all and have a great holiday.

[@finklepottery704]

Merry Christmas! And happy potting 😊

[@susanroswandowicz]

Dear Lisa, I am addicted to your videos. My name is Suza and I am from Magdeburg, Germany. I started doing pottery some month ago and watching a lot of youtube videos with it. Your were one of my first big inspirations. Some of the girls in your list I know already and follow them of course. But some of them are new for me and I am so happy that you shared their accounts with us. Thank you for being such a role model for me, same as Sarah. I watch you before I go to bed and sometimes just I can't stop watching. I never thought that I can also do those Videos to share my experiences with who is interested in, but my son told me just to try. So I did. It feels uncomfortable. still. but I am getting better although it’s quite hard to talk in a foreign language. What you said about the community I can really agree with. They are all so kind and helpful and I feel already part of it even if I am just a beginner here. Thank you again for sharing your results with us.

[@finklepottery704]

Hi Suza your message made my day! I’ve been watching your videos as well. You are doing great!! So impressed with potters Sharing their process in something other than their native language. I look forward to your future videos. Thanks again for the lovely message!!

[@nancy173]

Hi Lisa..thanks for the great video, I agree with all the potters you have mention.. you need to add yourself to the list as well as the pottery Corner and Sharon Hoppe Designs, not only does she have wonderful products but also thinks out of the box and she is a wonderful hand builder potter..Merry Christmas to u and your family and all the best in 2024

[@finklepottery704]

Merry Christmas!

[@pammartin7160]

First, thank YOU for sharing all your ideas and skills. As you went through your gratitude list I realized I watch every one of the potters you mentioned . I am so thankful for the community and sharing. I look forward to the new year and trying new things. Thank you and Merry Christmas.

[@finklepottery704]

Merry Christmas!

[@thehappyhomesteadnh]

Lisa! This made my night ♥️! Thank you for the shout out and for your authenticity and honesty about working alone. I can so relate to this and feel so much gratitude for KZbin, as well just for the connection that it offers. I love watching your videos and so many others from all over the world. It really is such a gift. You have inspired me to finish my glaze load and make a video before I leave for the Bahamas in a few weeks 😍. You are so cute! And so kind to speak from the heart. Thank you again. I love your glaze combos too! LOVE the soup bowls btw with the cute little handles - that clay body is gorgeous too. Is that a red/brown clay? The pearl white looks amazing on it 😂 love the spectrum floating glazes too on the spoon rests - those came out gorgeous and the plates! Beautiful work as always. Wishing you a prosperous, healthy, fun, happy and creative 2024!! 😘

[@finklepottery704]

Thanks so much! Yes the bowls are a red brown clay. Those spectrum floating glazes do look great on the darker clays😊. Enjoy the Bahamas you lucky girl. Looking forward to your upcoming video. Happy new year!!

[@joannpounders5567]

As the saying goes: birds of a feather flock together! And here we all are watching the same channels! LOL!! I've learned sooooo much from you all and am forever grateful for the kind sharing from each of these potters mentioned. And to your list I must add you, Lisa. Thanks for showing me power turquoise! Love it! Also a shout out to Jessica Putnam-Phillips @ Clayshare, Sarah Amos @ The Pottery Corner, Karan @ KaransPotsAndGlass, John The Potter and Simon Leach. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Muddy New Year!😊

[@finklepottery704]

Merry Christmas Joann!

[@cutgrove5942]

My husband thinks I'm obsessed with watching kiln openings on KZbin 😊. He can't understand why I need so many glazes and why Ive asked Santa for more. 😂 Merry Christmas and thankyou for sharing.

[@finklepottery704]

Oh my gosh! Me too! The struggles is real lol. Merry Christmas!

[@jasminelee735]

Thank you Lisa. I have seen many of the potters you mentioned but will add the ones to my list that I haven't seen yet. I always watch for your videos and look forward to seeing the 'making a glaze' one in the new year. I have had that on my list of things to do! Have a wonderful holiday with your family.

[@nukuaceramicsbonaire]

Hi Lisa, thanks for including me on your list! I totally understand the feeling if isolation. I am the only potter on Bonaire, yes, it is an island in the Caribbean, all the way south, 80 miles off the coast of Venezuela. I also have a roof and only 1 closed wall, the rest is open, simply the best. Come visit me someday okay? 😄😅 Thank you for sharing your beautiful pieces and you are also one of those amazing peeps in this pottery community!! Wishing you happy holidays and 'funky' 2024! 😉Monique

[@finklepottery704]

I would love to visit someday! Looking forward to more of your fun videos in the new year !! Happy holidays!

[@finklepottery704]

Thanks! Merry Christmas!

[@user-tr9bo2ri8e]

Hi Lisa I just want you to know after watching your videos I finally took a chance and tried new combinations and I was so pleased with my glaze kiln last week. Many of your combo suggestions I was able to replicate on my pieces and it kind of was a nice energizing push to stop thinking so much and just experiment and see what happens Thank you for making the end of a very hectic year better and for sharing I did take pictures of some of my pieces and put them out on my Facebook page I will be looking forward to watching your tutorial on how to make a glaze after the new year Merry Christmas and Happy new Year Michelle Phillips Cottrell from Cape May New Jersey

I definitely want to make some basic base glazes to layer over in the new year! And I would really like to see how you brush on some glaze combos over something you have dipped a base layer on. Merry Christmas and I look forward to seeing you in the new year

So exciting to be at the beginning of the journey. Happy potting and merry Christmas!

[@marycarolyn1293]

The only change I’d make to your list is adding you. You’ve been very helpful when I’ve asked you questions. I completely agree about KZbin! I’ve learned so much from it. My studio is also in my basement and I feel very lucky to have the space and equipment. I got an error message when I hit post so if this shows up twice that’s why.

[@finklepottery704]

Thanks! That is so kind. Happy holidays!

Thank you for sharing. Because of potters like you on you tube i am making pottery. I am about 3 hrs away from anyplace where i could take a lessons. i bought a used kiln on kijji and with you tube I have learned to fire it make and glaze pottery something I never thought possible, So a big thank you to all the KZbinr who are willing to share
