You know what I love about pottery? Everyone has the same material, there's nothing upgraded or fancy. And every individual manages them in their own way to create. There is no right or wrong way to play with clay :))

[@yukiceramics]

So true! It is a great kind of art too. Created accordingly to each one's personality, taste and preferences. And because it is handmade each piece is unique, there is no two of the same. Thanks for your comment! ❤️

Everyone doesn't have same clay It depends where it's got

[@calli__4930]

@@cjgaming5544 but it's just clay and most people use the generic one. The ones that are not that cheap, they still work like the generic one. It's like paint, people may manage them in different ways, but it's still paint. Because you have something fancier, does not mean your result will be better. Everything is on the artist and the technique that works for them.

[@rosieyee6572]

Hello, thanks for the beautiful video. is this all in one process or do you do the paddle slapping & trimming one it has dried a little?

[@yukiceramics]

For the slapping and trimming the clay needs to be more firm, and not sticking to the touch (leather). If it is too soft it will be more difficult to shape it. So you might need to let it dry a little bit before that. It also depends on your environment humidity. Hope that helps!

Beautiful! How does it dry (air or can I bake it in the oven)? Also, to be able to use daily (to eat out of) does it have to be glazed or is this technique purpose strictly for decor?

This clay is for firing. I only showed the modeling process, it would then require a bisque firing and glazing and it would be good for daily use. I'm planning more videos with the whole process soon! 😊

[@yukiceramics]

Hi Mananan, before I bought this wood paddle I used to use a big spoon (looks like a spatula) made of bamboo, so I think any kitchen utensil that looks like the paddle could be used to do the shape. I like the one in the video because it is thick. The Rib that I used to smooth inside. Maybe you could make it yourself using wood. Happy to help you. Let me know if you have any questions ☺️

So do we bake it after this or let it sun soak dry?

[@yukiceramics]

Hi Nikita, I usually leave it to dry in a room, without sun. After it's completely dry I do the first firing.

[@_SharonShah_]

What's the material you are using to smooth your pot's rim? And, what's the average thickness of your pots/bowls?

[@yukiceramics]

Here's a revised version: Hi Sharon, I'm using a chamois cloth. The hand-built mugs and bowls I normally use are less than 0.5cm thick, depending on the piece.☺️ I hope I didn’t respond too late.😊

[@_SharonShah_]

Thank you ❤️

[@lindakierdorff6738]

Hi Yuki wereld do KZbin get your worden tools from?

Hi Linda, normally I buy from a ceramic suppliers store. In USA, others I bought from a local studios …

[@laurab6624]

How do you do so that the salts do not emerge after cooking?

[@yukiceramics]

I use the chamois and my finger to smooth the surface. I normally avoid the sponge. Also, Depend of the clay you are using to make it, some have more chamotte (grogs) or the grammage of it is big. So, It will appear more . Did I answer you?😀

[@ranjujain58]

Do you bake it at the end? Can i bake it in my oven at home. What temperature and how long please? Thank you

[@yukiceramics]

Hi Ranjani, I used a ceramic kiln to fire it. You could use an Air dry clay. Air dry doesn't need to be fired to set hard. But it isn't recommended to use it for any food or drink. You probably could use the same technique from this video.

If you're interested in doing it I'd say just go for it! Pottery is so much more than a hobby, it is art and expression. And it is a great way to explore your senses and creativity! You'll need some practice and patience in the beginning until you get used to it! Thank you for your comment!

[@shreevas6160]

My clay keeps drying out whenever I try to do it this way 😕 I am always smoothing over the cracks and the thickness is then uneven.

[@yukiceramics]

That might be because of many different reasons. You could try a few different things: 1- wedging more for a more uniform clay 2- start out with a softer clay (slightly more water in it) if your environment is too dry 3- apply less pressure when smoothing out the surface (using your fingertips only) Hope this helps!

[@Lyddiebits]

Keep practicing, use water on your fingertips to smooth cracks, and go gently. Don't push or mash, small, gentle movement with clay💜

Hi! I use a stoneware clay from a local pottery studio. You can ask at your pottery shop if it is oven safe. In general, medium and high fire clays are usually suitable for oven use. But certain clays are more indicated for that! Hope that helps! Good luck!

[@kinzagilani8438]

How you make this clay soft

[@yukiceramics]

Hi, Usually, I wedged the clay well. If it is too hard and dry, I moisten it. If it's very dry, I put the clay in a bag, add water, and wait for the clay to absorb it. Depending on the amount, this can take a few days, and I turn the package since the water settles at the bottom. Alternatively, if you have a bucket, you can do the same process, tightly seal the bag, and immerse it in a bucket full of water (this way, you don't need to keep turning the bag with the clay). If the clay is only a bit dry, you can cover it with a wet old towel, then place it in a bag and leave it for a while until the clay absorbs the water from the towel.
