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

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!!
@finklepottery7048 ай бұрын
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!
@LaLaArtStudio7 ай бұрын
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 🎨

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.

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!! 😘

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
