Five Easy Folded Pottery Projects! Don't FEAR the FOLD!

Ann details Five Easy Pottery Projects that use the Folding process. We hope this inspires you to try some new techniques in your work whether you hand build or wheel throw. It's also a relaxing pottery video to watch - don't you LOVE watching someone else work?
If you would like to learn Ann's underglaze painting, glazing, and decorating process then check out Ann's Video Workshop Series. These workshops are very detailed (typically 1.5 - 2 hours in length) where Ann provides step by step instruction and are designed to help potters take their work to new levels of craftsmanship and artistry. vimeo.com/showcase/6725318

The most straight forward and plain speaking tutorial video I have ever seen. On ANY subject. Keep up the great work.

[@joeljacq7486]

I absolutely agree. One of the very best. Only found this channel last week after pursuing many and l'm a pottery novice. But, l know good quality when l see it. ❤ it!

[@Daniel-jl6fb]

This has to be said, without your videos... I would have given up pottery. I have spent ages looking at videos and reading books to better educate myself, but they were always either to complicated or never quite explained stuff in a way I would be able to understand. But your videos have given me a new found confidence to try and create new forms using easy to understand techniques and simple to plan projects that create wonderful results. Thank you so much for keeping the pottery spirit alive.🥲

[@jimruel2121]

Daniel, thanks so much for the kind words. It’s gratifying to know we are reaching you in a positive way. It keeps US going. Best of luck to you in your ceramic endeavor! Jim

[@annruel1982]

Hi Daniel. I just saw your comment and it really touched my heart. Thank you for sharing your experiences and your kind words. I really appreciate you. I am glad you persisted in the studio. Good luck to you! 🙂

[@chrisdawson3859]

You have such a gentle touch. Even after doing pottery for nearly 20 years...I tend to over press sometimes... you give me hope. LOL

[@triciac1019]

All of it takes practice. You'll get there!

[@PaisanosRoostFarm]

Paisano's Roost Farm (American Blackbelly Sheep) in Southern New Mexico: The bird and lacy triangle plate I could as a modern version of milk glass. A pearly glaze would let the details shine.

[@nataliewalker3095]

Spooze!? Ha ha ha ha ha!!! That’s so funny 🤣 This was so inspirational, can’t wait to try out some folded clay ideas! Thanks!

[@LittleStreetPottery]

Try the spooze...you’ll love it!

Thank you so much! I’m in a ceramics club where I live and I’m going to tell our members about your videos. What a great idea to use a plastic pie sheet! I work with Steve’s White clay and high fire but I’m sure I can successfully achieve wonderful treasures! I’m so glad I found you.

One of the Amaco celedons would enhance the texture and be beautiful. Maybe Jade or Fog, or Aqua, or almost any of them! Great ideas, thank you!

[@audryscraftingchannel3597]

I would like to make the cross pot but overlay the sides or cross over the sides so it looks like it twists around😍

[@farzanezahrazarepour6610]

Oxide glazing are the best when you have delicate texture on the clay.

[@bbjo787]

I love your channel and videos. Is there a video showing the completed projects after firing?

[@LittleStreetPottery]

Thanks BB! We are hoping to glaze these pieces this week and put pics in the community section...OR...we may even do our video on the glazing of these next week!

[@cindyliu8117]

Love the idea on the altered rim of the thrown vase. Thank you! Do you do it right after it is thrown, or when it's soft leather hard please?

[@LittleStreetPottery]

While it’s still relatively wet...right after throwing and still on the wheel. Thanks for watching!

[@sylvia37857]

Love all your methods that you used in this Video. Just wondering since Iam a beginner and using air dry clay would the same methods apply. Thank you

[@gladysguayara8443]

Hermoso trabajo recién te estoy siguiendo Ana, felicitaciones. Me gustaría saber cómo seca este tipo de cerámica y qué clase de barro es, soy Colombiana y quiero aprender mucho. Gracias

[@LittleStreetPottery]

la cerámica se seca en 2 días y luego la cocino en un horno

[@emilywilliams-wheeler7685]

I learn so much from your videos. What kind of clay do you use?

[@LittleStreetPottery]

In the description

[@DenekiLakes]

I found it on Etsy. Thank you.

[@lokahi27]

So interesting!

[@freedomtrailamerica2981]

Thick canvas may be better for rolling on. They release easier, but you have to smooth after release.😊

[@kathybrandt6060]

Your pottery designs are very beautiful. The throne vase that you made looks like a pitcher plant. Did you try to make it that way? I believe I will enjoy many hours watching you work. Hopefully in the future I’ll be able to try some of these ideas.
