Welcome Trace! Great first video… you make it look so easy! Your teapot is definitely Mrs Potts! Looking forward to tagging along on your KZbin journey.

[@Tjsclaycreations]

@@Liseliselpottery thank you so much for your support. I’m glad it came across looking easy. It is def outside my comfort zone.

[@lianaholtochsner]

Yeah, Trace! Lovely set but even lovelier to see you back at it. I can’t wait to see it finished and glazed and out of the kiln. Looking forward to it, Liana

[@Tjsclaycreations]

@@lianaholtochsner thanks Liana, I’m hoping to get it glazed this week so I can take it the Nats on Friday ready for her next kiln unload but life has been busy. So will have to see.

[@mugnificentpottery]

So nice to put a voice to a face. You are going to be great. Teapot would be lovely with just honey flux and some gold touches.

[@Tjsclaycreations]

@@mugnificentpottery Hi Nancy, thanks for the support. I would love to do some gold lustre but we don’t have the right firing schedule. 😔 Beautiful suggestion though.

Omg I can’t believe I dm u but didn’t comment!!! I’m sooooo happy and excited for you!!! Congratulations this is an amazing first video, you are such a natural. Love you bug xx

[@Adnancorner]

I wonder if this same process can be used to produce ceramic garden edges/borders for growing beds or the pavement with beautiful flowers as decoration. I saw vid from NY 10 years ago a vid that was most beautiful product. Really cute and pretty product.

[@Tjsclaycreations]

@@Adnancorner you could definitely use a slip cast mold for garden beds if you found a suitable one. You could also use a silicone mold like what they use in cake making for fondant. Or you could just roll a flat slab of clay. Use a decorative roller then cut your shape out. So many options with clay. Thanks for watching. Like and subscribe if you want to see the end result. X

[@Ellen.s.atelier]

Oh that is a nice 👍 one trace!! I can imagine you can not wait to see how it turns out ❤❤ I am happy you are back!

[@Tjsclaycreations]

@@Ellen.s.atelier hi Ellen, thanks for the support. I have a few ideas as to how I want to glaze these, so stay tuned.

[@MOLLIMEDIA]

Hello from San Francisco Bay Area in California! Trace… you picked a lovely teapot set. I wonder if it has matching tea cups… I can’t wait to see the set finished. Best of luck to you. 🌹

[@Tjsclaycreations]

@@MOLLIMEDIA Hi Molly, thanks for watching. I was so lucky to find this set and would love to get matching teacups, I’m sure they are out there somewhere.

Hi Trace. Congratulations on your first video. I have been following Nat for some time now but haven't yet worked up the courage to do a video . I'm looking forward to seeing you future videos.

[@Tjsclaycreations]

@@maryleeedwards1082 Hi Mary, thanks for the support and thanks for following Nat too. If I can get in front of the camera anyone can. You should give it a go. If you don’t like it you don’t have to post it.

[@RedEftDesigns]

Hi Trace! Wow a whole tea SET that matches, what a find!! You're inspiring me, i love the idea of a "mold opening" i always want to film myself slipcasting but get hung up on having to include every step or something. The opening is the best part, right? Anyways, loved it! Make more! I think a mrs potts white and pink would be cute, river birch & soft red or something similar 🫖 unless thats too Nat of a color choice 😆 Black&white would be awesome too

[@Tjsclaycreations]

@@RedEftDesigns hi Amanda, thanks for your support. Yes the opening/ reveal is definitely the best part of slip casting. I have a couple of glaze ideas and thanks for the suggestion but yes pinks are def Nat’s colours so I will leave those to her to do. Lol. Not sure if I will go black n white or not. Too many choices.

[@micheledickey4066]

Heeeey!! You’re even infront of the camera!! Good for you!!!❤ This is my favorite set of molds for dishes! I bought the ENTIRE set years and years ago!! I think there are 40 some odd molds to the set! I made a set of dishes for myself as well as several other families. Here in the US they are made by Cole’s. Cant wait to see what you do with these!!

[@Tjsclaycreations]

@@micheledickey4066 Hi Michele, thanks for the support. I love the pattern and feel so lucky to have found these pieces. Maybe I need to look for the rest of the set. Didn’t even think about plates but would love teacups.

[@mudmagic407]

Hey Michele do u have a link to buy the teacup molds for this set please?

[@micheledickey4066]

@@mudmagic407 I’m not selling the molds but I could pour some and send them if you would like.

[@Tjsclaycreations]

@@micheledickey4066 do you remember where you bought your molds from? Thanks for the offer of pouring pieces but I’d really love to buy my own set of molds now that I have done the teapot.

[@micheledickey4066]

@@Tjsclaycreations i am so sorry to just be getting back to you on this. I actually buy most of my molds second hand. They don’t make these molds anymore but there are a lot of Facebook groups all over that sell them. Good luck on finding them.

Nice video. I've been thinking about slip casting. Might try a mold or two. Thanks and congratulations on the new channel. Allen from Michigan U.S.A.

[@Tjsclaycreations]

@@allenfitz1 thanks for the support Allen. NAT and I have always felt that slip casting is a kind of cheat but when you want intricate patterns or perfect matches they are great and you still get to put your spin on it through glazing. ☺️

[@MeandmyfireflyEZCreations]

Well done Trace. I put up a small video and am not in front of camera. Not my comfort zone either. We are on same wave lengths. As my stamps are EZ Creations. So my youtube is EZ Creations, me and my firefly. My kiln is called Kagari, which means fire fly in the Japanese language. I had blessings from my Japanese pottery pal. Congratulations I've got plaster as I want to make some molds too. Ciao

[@Tjsclaycreations]

@@MeandmyfireflyEZCreations thank you so much for your support. It is not easy being in front of the camera. I am much more at home behind the scenes on Nat @Mud Magic’s KZbin. I love that your kiln name having meaning. I’m yet to get my own kiln.
