[@cynthiatrombley6378]

Wonderful Calder! I should be an expert at making these trees as most of the bowls I've made had no bottoms- ha ha Keep up the good work. Your videos are amazing! Thank you

I'm glad you're making video's again! Enjoyed this one very much. I'm wondering if you are Dutch and if so: where do you buy the Amaco glazes? Keramikos?

[@caldervanandel]

Thank you! Yes, I'm Dutch. I order all of my Amaco glazes at keramiekenglazuur.nl

Thank you for the tutorial! Can I ask roughly how much clay you’re using for the tree you made in the video?

[@christinahunt222]

Where can I get that splash pan?

[@moniar3399]

Hey, is everything ok with your Instagram account? It's all black to me and it cannot be found directly only links to it in the re-posts. Thanks!

[@caldervanandel]

Hi, thank you for your message! This video is quite old, and in the meantime, I have changed my username. I forgot to update the links in older videos. You can now find me as @caldervanandel

[@Ohiopotter]

Hi, how much clay have you used for the trees??

[@caldervanandel]

I'm not sure to be honest, but I think around 400 grams would be nice :)

[@Ohiopotter]

@ thank you!😊

[@cariadwales1979]

What temperature did you fire the glaze firing?

[@caldervanandel]

1220 degrees celsius :))

[@soverignbeing8]

I find having to remove the clogged up clay from the hole maker very slow and annoying. Depending on how dry the clay body is you can also get cracking on the inside. I'm looking for a better tool.

[@patriciakoenig3966]

Can you show us how you thrown a little Christmas tree off the hump please.

[@caldervanandel]

I unfortunately don't have time to make that video at the moment, but I'll keep it in mind for when I do :)
