[@edithsanchez1544]

"I bet you didn't even finish watching this video because you're so excited to try in on your own!" Had me WEAK. You earned my subscription 😂😂

Mine too😁

Customer: Hey can you do some handwarming mugs again ? Jon: Nah do it yourself I'll show you

[@Jane-xy5gd]

Jon: "centering the clay helps to center you" me: wow :') can't believe I'm about to drop out of my life to become a potter

[@meakia9]

Exactly the reason im starting

[@Xsheep911]

Very interesting, I have never seen a hand warming mug before.

[@lizx7419]

Came for the cute dude but now I’m dropping out of my life to become a potter

[@raleishaguallaz4988]

Lol right

[@kennethmaese4622]

I was thinking the same thing lol

[@TheCornDavis]

This comment made me giggle

[@marynelson4477]

You’re right- people do love them and they are a pain to make! As a lefty, I always make left handed pieces too. 👍🏻

[@raleishaguallaz4988]

Im a lefty tooo

[@Labradorite_Honu]

Mom is ambi, granddad was ambi, I'm ambi, spouse is lefty..... Daughter is ambi. Love love love finding left-handed every day items. There used to be a place on Pier 39 in San Francisco called the "Left Handed Store", not sure if it's still there or changed hands? (Hehe forgive the pun)

[@f0xh0nd51]

Same, same.

[@emilyb1311]

I’ve watched so many of your ASMR videos, too nervous to watch a normal one out of fear that you’d be a “too good for everyone” type of potter personality with that talent... this was the first time I heard you speak and I’m so glad you’re so chill and sweet and hilarious!!! Subscribed immediately, thank you for this awesome content you’ve re-sparked my love for ceramics 😭

[@abbeyproffitt9080]

I joined my first pottery class because of you! I start Thursday!

[@sheetalkhandal7551]

I would love to try this but there is a small issue that I don't know pottery making art.....but I love watching these videos....they are kind of relaxing

[@francesrubis5220]

Don't let fear or doubt or self- doubt hold you back! Pretend you are in your eighties and you still want to play in the clay what do you have to loose except excuses? Go for it and jump into that clay it is addictive, relaxing, like water for the soul! I promise the fun is in the making and everyone can make a piece of clay turn into personal expression so stop holding back and dive in feet first. Have fun too.

[@justgayvibez8217]

I see this is kinda old but have you thought of making it a double handed hand warming mug like the mug it's self would probably need to be larger but would that seem like a good idea for the cold season they would probably sell like theirs no tomorrow hell I'd probably buy a few

[@____Ann____]

I think it would be difficult to get your hands out without spilling coffee.

[@leneaharless4313]

@@____Ann____ Nah, you just take one out at a time.

[@ataliemitchell3606]

Yay!!! You posted it! So I was impatient and made some in an hourglass shape and did them pretty much the same way and took them to my final bazaar two days ago and they all sold! People do love love love them so I made more last night but more like your shape but I just did a strait angled slit and it works too! But I like the crescent shape cut. I’m gonna go back and make more! I totally agree though they are not as fun to make as other things! Thanks dude! I’ve been waiting for this!!!

[@mandyowen4892]

Your glazes are just stunning. I can’t say how many times I’ve watched your videos especially this one. I gotta make myself a hand warming mug.

[@casf.2710]

I'll wait for you to put them on Etsy!

[@benpatterson4452]

Your's is the only video, I've ever seen, for how to make these. I've seen the form, and even had students ask how they could make them, but all I had was how I'd do it. So thanks for posting.

[@sharoncastellanos2408]

It was around 2 years ago when I fell in love with pottery/all things pottery. And I love how you're not only good at it, but it shows that you love it and get people hyped about it. You've gained a subscriber!

[@SkyMist227]

HOW DOES THIS MAN NOT HAVE MORE SUBS?! please keep doing this sir!! your silly energy is infectious and after watching this video i am actually reconsidering art and design as a possible career path...possibly..... n_n''

[@Jonthepotter]

Haha that's awesome!! I just started the channel in February 2018 with no video experience so I am learning lot's every day!! Welcome to the channel!

[@Handmadebygas]

yes! yes! yes!!!!!!! thank you - can't wait to try....... thank you - and incase no one has told you in a while! your the bomb dot com!!!!

[@lisalippert3122]

Tell us how you really feel about those mugs!🤣 I have never desired one of those mugs, but I have seen how excited people are by them. Now I know why they're so expensive if you see them!

[@mariasalcedo5652]

Am a crochet grandmom i to crochet and watch you I love art you are great blessing

[@karensizelove-murphy7463]

You Rock! John the Potter!! You are MAGNIFICENT!

[@dianeyennie2337]

I am so happy to see this video. I searched a few months ago, but no one had instructions out there. They do look time consuming, but worth trying them out...but will have to be after the holidays! I might try both ways..alit in the mug and like your other viewer suggested, a flap on the outside of the dent. Can’t wait to try it.

[@sherrygKMA]

Just starting to create pottery....you, Sir, are an inspiration and a treat to watch!! Keep up the great work, Jon!

[@rhondavalverde2405]

Newbie that made her first mug today! But I’m definitely going to try this. Love it, thanks for this and all your videos.

[@katwoman2371]

Love a KZbin channel that entertains as well as educates 🌟

[@sherigoodremont3823]

I really like these! I think it takes as much time to do handles as it does to cut that slid in it and insert that piece on the inside. Thanks!

[@melaniepaige0]

I love these videos it’s very relaxing! He’s like the Bob Ross of pottery

[@Chocolate19]

Looks amazing...love the idea of wrapping your hand around the mug on a cold day❄...you've made it look easy🤨🤨🤨.

[@baddecisions951]

Videos are so calming to watch

[@gahbah_ghoul6939]

Pottery video pops up on my feed. Super cute guy. Didn’t even watch the first minute before subscribing 👌🏻 Lol but seriously so cool! Love pottery and clay, can’t wait to watch more videos!

Super invention😍✌loved that handwarming mug ☕😍✌

[@TheGoldfox9111]

Those mugs are beautiful. I've never seen a mug like them before.

[@JudithBisson]

You’re hilarious, thanks so much for sharing.. unfortunately classes at the college ends on the 11th. So I’m going to do it come January. Also made the chip and dip bowls. It Might end up for a one serving size lmao thanks again.

[@raleishaguallaz4988]

Right the random half naked man outside in the snow screaming lol

[@Rainbowsofanxiety]

Came for the pottery, stayed for the sarcasm. 👍🏻

[@catfeatherss]

I want one. I realllllly want one. Beautiful!

[@miss_mish]

I love this. Been wanting to explore and learn pottery theoretically before I delved in but I'm loving. So keen to get in and start creating.

[@Sweetpixels01]

Very cool! I've been waiting for this vid, I'm mainly handbuilding while I hone my wheel skills. So if you don't mind I'm going to take this brilliance, adjust it to suit and run with it! Thank you!

[@robertcole1098]

I am so excited about trying to make these, so that's what I'll be doing today! Wish me luck! Cheers Bob 🇬🇧

[@alandunnighan2159]

Have to try to make one now. Lefty of course. Thanks for another great clip, John.

[@kimkaye2219]

Gorgeous! And the cups are beautiful too.

[@michellel4778]

That was cool to watch. I don't do pottery but one day i want to. It looks fun. Thanks for sharing.

[@elisabethbue5666]

I enjoy watching you throw. As a tea drinker I wont be making this, as tea is so much hotter than coffee and my hand would burn! But I really like the idea. Thanks for showing us :-)

[@myacrylicjourney624]

Elisabeth Bue Ooh! I wonder if he’s ever done a mug with a tea bag holder on it?

[@boppybailey6564]

This guy is so excited about everything and I love it! 😂 Makes everything so interesting

[@cmwdalton]

You are so funny!! I have made these and they are a pain in the butt! But people do love them. You make them different but I don't think it's any easier than my way. Thanks for sharing!

[@sharonbryant2547]

I’ve been waiting for this video. Yeah! I think I will try the method of pushing in the mug and adding to the outside. Maybe do the alteration while it’s still on the wheel in order to keep the round shape at the top and then add the patch on the outside after it has set up a little. Worth a try. Read all the comments and replies. I always get such a shot of joy when I watch your videos. So inspiring! It’s raining and cold here. No snow so I’ll just go play in the mud now! Merry Christmas from Mudcreek Clayworks in Texas.

[@81MrKMan]

Cool idea definitely will try. Something I did this year and maybe another idea for you is we got into soap making too so the family/kids made soaps to give as gifts from them, so we also threw "soap dishes" on the wheel to include with the soaps. Basically just a big almost flat coasters (very little or no outside edge turn up) that we used a small tool to make fairly tall raised circles in the bottom of or spirals. Just a thought.

[@Jonthepotter]

Cool idea!

[@andreag7822]

Thank you for this Jon. Been waiting! And ANOTHER new studio teaser 👍🇬🇧

[@pethronianoel]

Hi Jon , appreciate the demonstration of the handwarming mugs they are so unique and cool. A bit more difficult to make so thankyou for showing the technique yo us. Have an enjoyable Christmas:) Bye Pet.

[@kimberleypierce7981]

I would so but these! I want one and they would be awesome Christmas gifts. So unique! Wish I knew a potter!

[@sarahk.waters1986]

These are awesome! So making these.... along with the twenty other things I should be finishing for my ceramic degree!

[@summergirl3671]

They are the most beautiful mugs. I would buy one. ❤️

[@saundragrenard3789]

Wow I have learned so much. Though you make it sound simple, I will try this tonight, thanx Jon

[@christopheramoss2132]

Thanks for the video. Have you ever thought of or tried placing the slab on the outside of the mug to make the sleeve instead of cutting the mug and pushing it outwards?

[@barbarac4138]

I do mine to outside all the time, think is easier. Barb

[@Jonthepotter]

Yes! Part 2 coming soon:)

[@ilenavasquez1221]

I apologize because I'm not a potter, but if you'd like these mugs without inserting a new piece inside Jon, then is it possible to bend your mug in that mid-stage inwards to get the finger indent, and then to attach the outer finger covering as the separate piece instead? The inside won't be a perfect circle; however you might save some sanity and surely you can make that shape your own and awesome!

[@midkiffsjoy]

The baby is trying to dance and nurse WHILE we watch. Lol. Very entertaining.

[@alvesyuris]

Unique piece. Congratualations!

[@taraknapp1073]

I teach art. Love these never seen before. If you have any left of what you made on here I’d love to buy one as example for my students. I love having all different artists works for kids to see. Love your Video!

[@janlinke9854]

So you are out of luck if are left handed or do you make lefties too?

[@kimberlyhilligoss4772]

Glad I'm not the only one who uses my fingers to apply slip. I'll have to try this. I think the time I spend making and attaching handles would be equivalent to attaching the slab, but we'll see.

[@rahaf.a529]

awwwh So beautifulllll it gave me chills no joke , so grateful and happy to have stumbled into your channel

[@sherigoodremont3823]

It seems as it takes as much time to do handles also…I love these❤️❤️

[@pinkywittingslow4055]

Hahaha I love how honest you are about these 🤣 Yeah, I'll give making this design a miss too.

im grateful you even had consideration for lefties. thank you.

I'd love to see the end of the mug making to see how you paint/glaze it

Hi Jon! I love your videos! Will you please make a video with tips and tricks on removing differently-sized pieces from the wheel? My wheel does not have a bat system, and I have yet to convert it. Thank you for doing all you do!

[@kimmihawks1602]

Love the energy and fun spirit!!

[@Scott_C]

You sir have earned yourself a subscriber. With the bell on.

[@BJEAKE]

Just curious and absolutely no experience, but could you just throw a larger diameter and cut it and overlap at the cut until it forms a new diameter on the inside? Your videos are very cool, thanks for sharing

You taught me a lot, and I can wait for the news classes to start after Christmas time to make that hand warmer. I have been doing throwing clay for a year now and completely in LOVE with it ❤️ Look forward for your next video 😎😘

Can’t thank you enough for the inspiration..... excellent teacher!!!!

I have two hand warmer mugs and literally yesterday I was staring at one of them and analyzing it because I couldn't figure out how it was made! I started looking at how to glaze pottery and sure enough this video comes up! I didnt read the title, it just popped up! KZbin is in my brain! Thank you for making this video! It stinks that these are a pain but these mugs really are the best!

I have to tell you. My friend sent me your video and all I saw was handwarmer mugs and my only response was no. No no no. I will never make those. He was like. No watch the video because it’s good and funny ;) hahaha. The video is very good and I thank you for the warning. Which confirms that I will never make handwarmer mugs hahahaha.

If you wanted to make a universal mug that'd work for both lefties and righties, you could cut both curves and just make the slab to cover the whole cover both!

[@ladybaneheartcreative3d73]

Hi. I've watched your 2 warming mug videos and tried both I actually prefer no 1. For slipcasted cup piece. Because you can squeeze the slab at inside to form to your fingers. I tried no 2 but did not work out that well for slip pieces. Can you try your hand at slip casting and using porcelain clay for use of the finger entrance...... if not. I'm getting myself a turn table. 😄😄😄😄 thank you for your video . It was great! Loved the mall video too
