In my element. Making slab built ceramic planters

No talking. Just building in my element. Made in one sitting for the sake of video. Allow slabs to stiffen up a tad to allow for easy handling.
Photo of finished piece is posted in the community section of my KZbin page.

I thought the small pot you made to begin with would go fantastically in the middle of this creation to create a two tier effect of flowers. Love your work and watching you. I like it when you talk through it though. Keep up the great work.

Hello, you're the best painter of all time.Always good luck.🌈🤩💞

[@georgejacob6191]

WOW! Impressive work and the silence just adds to the enigma.

[@amykrenzer4646]

An example of "ask and you shall receive". You've got your fans clamoring for a video. It's great. Love your pants.

[@kathygawne3698]

I love it, great job.

[@shericastanon1436]

love this Rana! I will be making one and try to make it my own. I love your videos.

Te felicito,tus pocos elementos la belleza que hiciste sin tantas explicaciones , más que tus manos y tranquilidad. Cuanto amor en esa obra

[@lori3978]

I personally got a lot out of the build. I see all the elements of time, knowledge and skill. I’m just amazed by what can be accomplished without a wheel. 🍎🍎🍎🍎

[@lori3978]

Thank you but all the credit truly belongs to you. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

There you are! I just arrived at KZbin. Clueless as per usual - good to see a familiar face!! 💖💖💖

God bless you with amazing work

[@makatara3]

I follow you on Instagram and You Tube and I want to thank you for sharing your creativity. I am in awe of your talent.

[@Curlyrana81]

So kind of you. Thank you so much 😊

[@ilenemccandlis6264]

love the video

[@mreinstein48]

I like this method!

[@marywarmoth5288]

I need that little tool!

[@marthastocker3681]

I love watching you build. Where do you get your big floral texture mats? I love the one you're working with in this video. Thanks in advance.

[@screamingmimi90]

I love how neatly you work. So precise in such an imprecise medium. Gives me hope. ❤️ I am curious... why didn’t you put a small coil inside the bottom opening to attach it? Maybe that’s a method for beginners? This is a great project! Also, how do you fire your stuff? Did you make a kiln? Or buy one? My dream is to someday have a work area like yours. I’ve been smitten by clay.☺️

[@fnyfrm]

Thank you for sharing your talents... may I ask where you got the texture mat? TKIA

[@barbaraking882]

how do you make the pattern used for center and edges

[@purpledreamer7465]

Thank you so much for this vedio

[@livngearth8950]

Thank you for sharing this video! Beautiful work! This is a refreshing tutorial, and a very creative planter. I think slab work is underrated. I love the stencil...is that a place mat? I have seen them by me, but not that detailed or with the scalloped edge. Could you please share where you found that? Thank you! 😊

[@theabristlebroom4378]

Check out Dollar Tree, and similar stores.

[@dkgrace6743]

Nice work. But I'd like to see the completed piece after the glass firing.

[@marleagaskins334]

Where do you find the mats you use for several of your videos.

[@k1l2z3d4]

Love your work. What is in the yellow mustard bottle that you use to stick the sides together?

[@andreadifabrizio1705]

It would be very Helpful to know what material you are using???

[@gaillockeyakathemessycraft658]

TFS. Would have been great to see the actual finished product though 😫

[@Curlyrana81]

Gail Lockey Aka The Messy Craft Room I just posted a photo in the “community” section of my KZbin page.

[@vickieblair2160]

How thick are your slabs? And where did you get that large stencil? And that little cutting tool to cut the ends. Never saw that before. Makes things exact. Nice work.

[@Curlyrana81]

[@RegineAteliers]

Please hurry & start making new videos....I'm now binge watching over & over! Maybe I should make a mug or plate or something;>)

[@margruskail1438]

Like your work. Question: What material is the board you are working on that doesn't allow the clay to get stuck to it?

[@Curlyrana81]

Margrus Kail a cement hardibacker board from a hardware store

[@mindfuljules]

The yellow fingernails make this especially interesting to watch:)

[@montrealstars60]

Is there a continuation to this video?

[@mariannehansen2691]

Is your slip clay/water or clay/vinegar? .... Ha. I was wondering why you didn't turn up the base more to start with, but it lets you get at the bottom of the sides while attaching. Smart lady! :-) .... But - Aha! It is a plant pot with attached dish! Clever! Thanks for the watch! :-)

[@Curlyrana81]

Just clay and water 🤗

[@yuna2808]

This is a lovely video i did learn a lot, however it was also boring, no talking, no music, my husband didnt even notice i was watching a video till he looked up, i do love the video tho really

[@Curlyrana81]

Barnes Creations Thank you for your input. I have plenty of videos where I speak plenty. Sometimes I work and film it and people want to watch it. These videos are easier for me as well. I do this ALL free of charge so not having to put all the effort of explaining and editing helps me AND you.

[@cynthiaschroeder2181]

I personally find it really refreshing to just watch with no music, no talking, without all the noise! It's how i love to work, and how I prefer to watch and learn from such well filmed videos!

[@Bashfuldoc]

Will you show the pot fired and glazed?

[@Curlyrana81]

Bashfuldoc Absolutely. It just came out of bisque today and I’ll probably be glazing and firing it sometime next week. Your best bet to see it glazed would be to follow my Facebook page. Search for Curly’s Clay Creations. 🤗😁

[@isrealkeys]

Dope

[@mariannehansen2691]

The dish... Is that made with one of your giant cookie-cutters? Is your slip made with water or vinegar? Thank you for this! Lovely to just sit and watch someone do something they master! :)

[@Curlyrana81]

Marianne Hansen yes. My 10 inch scalloped cookie cutter. My slip is just clay and water ❤️❤️❤️

[@mariannehansen2691]

@@Curlyrana81 I would love to have some of those big scalloped circles!

[@Curlyrana81]

Look up Bobbi’s cookie cutters on Etsy. She can also custom size for you

[@mariannehansen2691]

I did - and the prices are pretty high, especially with shipping to Norway. I did, though, have a moment of inspiration and "robbed" my kitchen of the outside of one of my quiche pans with the removable bottom! :-D

[@vulcanswork]

Bravo!

[@jesscherry404]

What is the tool holder on the right?

[@Curlyrana81]

jessica m cherry it’s called boon grass.

So where is the finished product?

[@tammiemcinnis4971]

I need help desperately. I just tried my hand at air dry clay today it had a really bad smell to it and then no matter how much water I used it stuck to any object I tried it on to mold a shape. Plastic and metal and it would get stuck and not come off easily. Did I bet the wrong clay? Is it a bad brand maybe or technique can someone help me please? I was so excited to try it.

[@kathypotter3269]

Clay will stick and the wetter it is the more it will stick. Sprinkle cornstarch over your clay before you place it on your mold or cover your mold with plastic.

[@tammiemcinnis4971]

Kathy Potter thank you!!!

[@dennystewart3238]

What is the surface of your table made of?

[@Curlyrana81]

It’s a hardibacker board

[@dennystewart3238]

Is that different than drywall?

[@Curlyrana81]

Denny Stewart yes. It’s more like a cement board

[@dennystewart3238]

@@Curlyrana81 Thank you. I rent a studio space and work on a metal table. I would like to put something else on it. I'll try this.

[@SetGozo]

I think it is cement board, that what is most ceramics studio use nowadays.

[@kennethstensrud669]

I thought that the extra rim on this planter would be very impractical.....
