Great video! Thank You 🌳

[@reidasage]

I’m glad you enjoyed it! 😊

[@r.duroucher225]

What a beautiful video and your generosity in sharing your knowledge is very special indeed. Love your work. Love it. I would love to see more of the bowls and other vessels that are in the background at 8:18. None of your work should be relegated to the background.

[@reidasage]

Thank you so much! I will happily share more in the near future. Thanks for the encouragement!

[@kathybrandt6060]

I could not have said that better myself.

I've only been doing pottery for less than a year, but I've discovered that I LOVE carving and textures. This opens the mind to so many ideas that meld the two!! thank you!!

[@reidasage]

That’s so great to hear! It’s such a fun way to express yourself through clay!

[@veronicaharwick9013]

You have mastered the art of recreating nature's beauty in balance of symmetry & asymmetry in the form of a durable and useful vessel. The hidden pattern of what in my mind resembles a pine cone was the perfect addition. 🕊️🌎💚

[@reidasage]

Awe thank you so much! Your comment brought a smile to my face. 🥰

[@ingasfittipsandeats2965]

Great instruction! I shall try this!

[@reidasage]

[@lorit5074]

Wow. These are so beautiful. I will be doing these in 2025. Thank you for the great tutorial ❤❤❤

[@reidasage]

That’s so great to hear! I hope to see your results!

[@haretyper4954]

It's such a treat to happen across another potter's work that parallels my own, an unknown connection in creativity. I am inspired by your techniques that I haven't tried. Thank you for sharing this enriching experience!!! ❤

[@reidasage]

Wonderful to hear! Thanks for watching! 😁

[@RealMe-f6q]

You have put so much hard work rather than taken short cut

[@joannpounders5567]

Definitely inspired!! This process obviously requires patience and creative thinking! Will add this to my ever-growing list of pottery pieces I want to try, for when I'm feeling creative and patient!! 😉 Love your creativity. Thanks for sharing! 💚Have a Great New Year!

I love watching you create. All of your work is so beautiful and so out there. I always know that when I get the notification that you’ve posted a video, that I will not be disappointed. Over the last 40 years I have worked with Clay in some form. I look forward to working with Clay again. And I will try to copy what you have showed us. Thank you again for letting us watch as you create your beautiful pieces of art.

[@reidasage]

That's wonderful! So glad you enjoy my work and I hope this video helps you rekindle your love of clay.

Your rio and blue glaze combo is just WOW. The extra details in your carving are perfect for the red iron oxide!

[@reidasage]

Thanks! It’s a fun combination to work with 😊

[@tatymschneider6681]

[@wadewoehrmann2835]

May I ask what clay you use. It seems to work well - or you just make it look easy. :) Perhaps both.

[@reidasage]

I work with all sorts of Clay. In this video I’m using ‘Desert Buff’ from HighwaterClay. It’s a high fire clay with some grog.

[@wadewoehrmann2835]

@@reidasage Thank you! and thank you for sharing your talent and process.
