9:40 wow, living in a tropical country, I never even thought of whether my stoneware clay is frost resistant or not! 🤯 really shows you how considerations on clay change due to geography and climate 🤨 (also I've been making tableware so far, so I have never thought of putting my works outdoors for a long time 😅). I already knew most of the info you show here, but the frost resistance one is definitely new to me 👀

My God, this is fantastic... I think this is the first video I've seen on any topic that actually gives useful info to help you make an informed decision... Usually when you watch a video geared towards beginners in any field, you end up more confused at the end

Thank you so much. Indeed, it is not such a simple thing to be a good teacher.

Totally agreed!! And the fact you even added French and English is amazing! Thank you so much for your efforts!

Merci beaucoup for this very helpful video. I just now suscribed to your channel but my husband has been following you for years because he is a bonsai enthusiast, and a ceramist too (but he's really more of a woodworker). So I have seen many of your videos already. I want to thank you especially for making the effort of speaking in English, but if you spoke in French and put subtitles, I would continue to follow you, no problem! Your videos are very helpful and you are very generous with information. Merci beaucoup! Saludos desde México!

Thank you very much for this kind message 🫶 It took me a long time to decide to speak in English (because of my accent 😅), but I found that it became essential to give information with more detail.
@FatimahAraneta8 ай бұрын
And speaking in English will make your videos accessible by a wider public. Mais que penses tu of sometimes repeating what you said English, in French? Peut etre nous apprendrons un peu de francais avec les pottery skills!
@Greg-ceramics8 ай бұрын
Yes, I've already thought about occasionally slipping in a few French phrases. I've done it once before with a French expression that makes no sense at all when translated into English!

Thanks mate, this is the kind of thing that seems obvious to us, but we all asked ourselves questions like that at the beginning. I wanted to make a quick little explanation video, and I still spent weeks on it! 🤪

Probably the most important thing to learn about if you want to work with large slabs. Nothing worse than spending all that time making a pot and have it warp or break because you didnt use the right clay
@Greg-ceramics9 ай бұрын
Exactly, otherwise we start with bad habits. And when someone starts working with a particular clay, it is often difficult for them to change.

Bonjour Greg. Les argiles que l’on peut trouver (séchage sans cuisson) qui ne sont pas forcément des argiles au vu de tes explications, restent poreuses je présumes et donc encore plus sensibles au gel et à la fragilité. C’est dommage tes vidéos m’ont donné envie de m’y mettre mais sans four c’est compliqué. Merci pour tes vidéos.
@Greg-ceramics2 ай бұрын
En effet, les terres sans cuisson sont faites pour faire de la déco intérieure ou pour de l'initiation pour les enfants, mais ça ne tiendra pas en extérieur. Pour la cuisson, il faut chercher si dans ton secteur il y a des revendeurs de matériel de poterie ou même des clubs, très souvent, ils louent leur four aux particuliers. Tu peux amener tes pièces et ils te font payer la cuisson au poids. C'est un très bon moyen de commencer sans avoir de gros investissements.
