What a satisfying feeling it must be to gather all the materials and process the clay then throw pieces before firing them in a fire pit. Loved the designs they had a very ancient Roman or Greek style.

[@Linneaandakela]

It was incredibly satisfying :) Thank you for joining me!

[@barbarabrookens7525]

Maybe you could start selling some of your creations to your subscribers, I loved the cup you made for yourself.

[@Linneaandakela]

Thank you! I will be doing a pottery sale at the end of this year :)

[@sunshinedeb]

@@Linneaandakela glad to hear that you’re going to be selling your stuff at the end of the year. I was wondering about that, love your work love your channel one of these days you will have 1 million subscribers no doubt…🐾✌🏻💕

Haha, Linnea, you go from taking classes to making your own wild clay and pit firing with lightening speed. You are amazing! Those pots are beautiful. I love the patterns you put on on them with the slip. Thank your for sharing your process.

[@JudithByerly-io3br]

Oh Linnea, I love, love your clay pottery. Please don’t grind up that beautiful pot - she’s perfectly imperfect! Wrap some leather or natural fabric around her neck - a scarf if you will!! 😂❤️ I just love them all but she’s my fav! We’re all broken pots - still useful with love. Love & Blessings til next time. ❤️🙏🏻😘 PS - YOU are amazing - the projects you figure out are incredible! Keep going! I’m learning so much - at 75 that’s a really good thing!

I encourage you to get a bird book and binos! Outside is a very busy place when you're watching and keying out a bird by it's beak, feet, then learning what it eats has always helped me pay better attention. I grew up on a Peterson Guide, my father's daughter, and to this day keep use his copy.

[@Linneaandakela]

Great idea - thank you!

Wrap some jute or wire or leather around the broken top. We are all failed but still beautiful. You’ve learned an incredible amount fast. Never say failed…🌻Laura

Please don't crush the "broken" pot! Put a cute hanging flower plant in it. Even if it's a fake flower or succulent, it would hang perfectly out of the notch at the top. I absolutely love all of your videos ❤ Keep doing what you're doing ❤

[@carsun40]

Thank you so much for sharing your art and your journey. I get so excited with you watching the whole experience. And I love the joy you take in learning all the things you choose to try. That is what all of us should try to focus on the joy and the process. And I also throw in my now word of my life rather than just word of the year, patience. Thank you again for sharing. ❤

[@RaymondPinter]

Great job! I never realized all the steps involved in making pottery and what a true artistic expression of one's soul. Its amazing how well they turned out with your first attempt at using wild harvested clay.

[@Linneaandakela]

Yes - it's all very personal and intentional. :)

[@thinknicethoughts88]

There is a lady that lives about 60 mi from you who built a great room in her house out of Adobe mud. It's huge and stunning with little walls that come out in tears for potted plants to sit on and alcoves with lights for display. She did it all by herself went out and gathered it worked it and built it is amazing. I look forward to seeing your property come along. I was raised at the foot of those hills

[@Wanderboom]

So much fun to learn from scratch this way. It’s going to be fun watching your progress over time! ☺️

[@overlycranked8674]

(32:17 ) you may simply glue the piece on either with Gorilla transparent or ol' potters trick of " Magic Mud " repair and cone 018 bisque fire it for keep sake. For best results pulverize some of the same fired clay to make your magic mud for repair. Great work. Your excitement for traditional pottery and pit firing is inspiring.

[@Debby-uz9kv]

Thanks for sharing the pottery🏺process with us! It’s really interesting and looks like a lot of fun! You should sell your pieces. Maybe that’s already your plan, but I know people would love them! The one that broke I could picture as a part of a water feature and the broken part would be where the water spilled out like a waterfall. Atleast that’s what I saw in my mind when I saw it. 😂. Look forward to seeing how your art evolves as you get more and more experience!!💜

It is so much fun watching you work with wild clay. I'm learning so much from your video. Thank you for sharing. 😊

[@Linneaandakela]

I'm so glad!

[@TheRhodae]

Love that you gave it a go! The colours in bruning usually come from the ammount of oxygen thats in the pit. Depending on how much oxygen you have in various areas of the pit the colour varies from redish beige to grey and black. So this indicates usually an uneven ammount of oxygen throughout the pit which gives it its beautiful colour variations! The colour usually has not much to do with the burning material (including banana peels) but with the amount of oxygen in your burn. You can check that on archaeological papers that are about the ancient ways of burning ceramics or the way indigenous people still burn their pottery on open or closed fire pits. @AncientPottery does great content on that on youtube and also show various ways of firing!

[@GizmoDeVoe]

The fact that you got that many successes with wild clay, wild temper, and pit firing is such an achievement! This is great. I'm glad you got this done and this was a great video to watch from start to finish. Cheers!

[@SoulfulDrifters]

As a fellow van lifer I admire the passion you have for allowing yourself the opportunity to always learn and embrace new crafts. I have always loved glass blowing, gardening and pottery making but have struggled a bit with the process and cost of it all just being able to afford what I need to keep learning and practicing. I would love to know how you have learned and managed to keep the cost down as well as not stunt your growth in learning the craft and also building new things without spending a lot . The pottery came out amazing and your garden is budding and doing so beautifully well. Kudos and would love any tips and tricks that can make my dreams my reality too🙌:)

[@latifaagius39]

[@roroc1311]

Have you heard of Kintsugi? Kintsugi is based on the idea that embracing flaws and imperfections can create a stronger and more beautiful piece of art. It can also represent honoring the breaking, exalting conformity, or the layered process of putting something back together. The practice encourages people to fix rather than discard broken objects, placing a higher value on them. You really are an artist. I loved this video & yet it made me emotional. You have a very delightful presence and your joy illuminates. Thank you for sharing!
