The artist in me loves the grungyness of this mug but the clean freak in me feels like i need to wash it even though its clean because it looks "dirty".

[@pinkylemonn]

i can relate

[@asiarahman6033]

U have to wash and i assume he did because then he would be drinking alot of dust. He also didn't show the part of coating the bottem with candle wax so the glaze (color) doesn't glue the bottom to the shelf of oven.

[@eleo_b]

Lmao I’m over here thinking that this could be a casual little hobby to have and then see all this equipment. 🙈😳😆

[@wadepatton2433]

Hou can work clay without a wheel, and fire without a kiln. Look up primitive pottery. Pottery goes back thousands of years. Mud, glaze (or not), and fire.

[@ReannaPeters12]

Thats fine just let me do the work for you teespring.com/en-GB/shop/OfficailFlameWear

[@barira2995]

I started pottery without equipment! you just need a couple of inexpensive tools, & you can use the slab building method for plates & mugs, & the pinch pot method for pots haha

[@barira2995]

& then get fired at a local ceramic store they usually let you pay per shelf

I’ve never seen anyone do this. It’s amazing to watch! I’ll never look at my coffee mug again without thinking about what went into the making of it. My husband’s aunt never said how she made it, she just gave it to me as a gift.

[@serendipity1903]

This is like meditation! You can be so silent and so engrossed! So glad you are doing what you love !

[@hugostiglitz6914]

I seen some of these in a shop that sells kitchen equipment, you don't have to have loads of equipment and spend weeks (using massive amounts of energy making it yourself) without anything to put your coffee in. In fact you don't have to buy one, there are shops that will sell you a coffee in a mug but you do have to give the mug back afterwards. There are other shops that will sell you a coffee in a container you can keep but it really only works once and you have to bin it!

[@jhager1958]

Been watching about a year, and I literally received my wheel and some clay today right when this video was posted! So excited to start making "all the things!" Thanks Jon for sharing!

Ceramics is just like Christmas with every Kiln fire. If you were good you get a present and if you were bad you get an air bubble explosion

This was very clever

Just watched this video with my 5 yo old son. He said it was very cool to watch and he immediately noticed your man bun. Since he has long hair (and sometimes kids tease him, saying he’s a girl) it is very empowering for him. Thanks for this awesome video. I love mugs like these and now we’re off to watching pottery videos all afternoon. 🤗

[@NrityaSankalpa]

Beautifully satisfying...i loved the no commentary thing....the work speaks for itself. Blessings to you.

[@kate-mm2bi]

smiling, because I had to watch this out of curiosity to see what you did and how because I became hooked on pottery making in college (many moons ago)! My ex and I even had a pottery business and sold special order sets of dishes for people and they got to pick out the shapes, sizes, glazes themselves, so they were totally unique. I did sculptures too. I have said, once you get clay in your blood, you never get rid of it, would love to be able to do that again. My ex who is 80, is still throwing and selling his pottery which is awesome! It was interesting to see a bit of differences since we had done this though. That clay extruder is new to me, as we 'pulled' the handles from a ball of clay with our hands. That new kiln with the computer setting is 'like wow'! It is not a cheap 'hobby' kids, buying the kiln and all that goes with it plus the electric bills and the glazes. Not sure if you buy them ready made but in 'our time' we made our own formulas and mixed the ingredients in the grinders and mostly sprayed them on as well as pouring and incising designs. I would suggest to anyone interested to take a class at a local college first to see if you are really up to this and you can do this and would be really dedicated to giving it lots of time and working to perfect your 'craft'.......and have fun!

Dang, when I saw “entire process” I was expecting to see you process Clay from soil you dug out of the ground. This was still pretty interesting though, I really like that damaged looking glaze

[@rosehobson7763]

I loved this format for a change.Stunning glazes.

[@loribidgood2259]

Nice job, Jon! Very soothing and I like all the sounds like the wheel (which is very loud, compared to mine, Shimpo VL Whisper), the bubbling of the glaze in the bucket, etc. Great camera work. BUT....I do miss your usual energy and explaining how and why you do what you do. Overall, it was still very good, though. Makes me want to go throw pots right now instead of resting. I'll go do it when I get up!

[@MichaelLesherMEdLPC]

This was so enjoyable to watch! I found the sounds and process relaxing and strangely cathartic to watch. I need to get back to clay for certain. Curious your thoughts on pottery as therapy?

[@hollyreilly2035]

I loved the pottery part of my high school art classes. I always wanted to do more with it outside of school. This video gave me nostalgia and hope that I will get a chance to work on a potters wheel in the future.

Is that how the glaze didn't adhere to the bottom of the mug? It looked like a magic trick to me.

I went to his workshop yesterday and he doesn’t use wax resist, he wipes it off with a sponge right after dipping. That is how I am going to do it from now on. His workshop was wonderful and I learned a lot so if he does more and you are able to, then I highly recommend it.

Can I suggest a different video? You should dig clay out of the ground and process it into usable clay for a multi- part series. It is interesting enough concept that people outside your normal viewers would be interested.. Allowing you to reach out to more viewers on KZbin. You could also making it into a informative video going in to detail about the composition of different types of clay.

[@anausc7]

I bet its such an amazing and overwhelming feeling to open the kiln and see how your creations come out. Everytime I see one of your videos, I can't wait till you uncover the kiln oven, amd everytime you do I'm left with my mouth open! Amazing work!
