I have just found your page and what a blessing. I have been sculpting with clay for about a decade but decided to add some functional pieces but didn’t have time for classes. If I’m not working I’m not getting paid. (Self employment work ethic) But I had time to tune into your videos while at my work bench. You are a natural teacher and I have started at the beginning of your videos and enjoying each and everyone of them. Thank you! Oh, and thank you for your service to our country!

Thanks! I've been eyeing some fondant molds but was unsure how difficult they were too use. I also bought some soft foam sheets. While I'm watching TV, I'll sit and cut out shapes (holly leaves/berries, feathers, birds, abstract, or anything else I can think of). Then I roll them in to slab. Inexpensive option!

[@dimplesdragonflies]

What GREAT Tips Jessica! Thanks So Much For Showing The Different Tricks To Getting Them To Work Correctly!

[@moniqaf]

Great info! Love the wooden rolling pin! Going to look for fondant texture strips also!

[@CraigConnors]

Perfect for kitchen backsplash tiles as well!!

[@JessicaPutnamPhillips]

Yes, they would be!

[@claymazingartworks5682]

I had bought the exact fondant mold but it slid. Thanks for teaching me how to roll it. I'm going to order an emboss roller love it!

[@autumnrose2437]

I LOVE your vidoes! You are a fantastic teacher. Great at explaining things and funny. I have learned so much. Thank you for sharing your knowledge ☺

[@flowerenki9818]

Wow thats so cool

[@prayernotesbycynthia]

So much fun! Want to try working with clay. But, thought I would watch videos, first. Glad I found your channel! Thank you!❤️

[@MariaLuciaGomezGreenberg]

Creative and practical ideas--wonderful! I am ready to try it. ;--)

[@mariaangelinavelazquezvega2977]

Hola me encanto la técnica… pero no se lo de la base, donde se hacen los grabado… te agradecería me dijeras como la hago … gracias

[@micheledickey4066]

This is such a great video of ideas! Thank you so much. Could you see if there is a way to use the fondant molds? There are such amazing creative ones by Iron Orchid Designs that I would absolutely love to use in my clay!

[@loreliemiller628]

Such great ideas! Now I'd love to see how you turn these into hand built pots!😊 also how you glaze them! How thick do you roll out your clay before you put the design in? I'm a newbie so needing more exact info. Thanks so much!

[@nursnlern]

[@embasador4yhvh]

Hi Jessica, those r beautiful. For an earthen floor would it be possible to leave the doiley in the floor if a sealer is being used on top????

[@FabioCNC]

20/02/2018, we missing you! ^_^

[@umi8968]

Dear I am into pottery recently, and I really like your videos. Can you please help me with the different types of clay? Waiting for your reply

[@chowfun1976]

Do you find the non stick spray affects the adherence of underglaze, stains, or washes to the greenware?

[@elizabetherowley99]

I’ve enjoyed all your videos! I have a question for you, how did you make your weights for your slab projects.. Did you fill a plastic bag before you put it in the fabric bag/sock?

[@CmdRobisonCristiano]

Vc é fantástica!!!! Ótimas dicas. Vc ministra cursos??

[@pjgreen1786]

Wouldn’t cornstarch be better than a spray?

[@user-kp5wh1tv3f]

Good jobᆢvery nice. Thank you ~~~^^

[@nancymccallister2304]

will this work with polymer resin and paper clays?

[@jeanniemeigs2936]

I have been looking for paisley design. What brand is your roller? Where did you find it? Thanks!

[@yogaasthra]

Hi, which rolling pin did you use for imprinting the textures you were showing (I m talking about the white rolling pin you were using with every texture creating object)

[@kilobravo449]

Hi! Where do I find the foam block you use to press your plates?

[@jhager1958]

does cooking spray effect glazing later on?

[@JessicaPutnamPhillips]

No, it burns off in the bisque.

[@melodyadams]

could you please give a source on where to purchase similar rolling pins and mats please

[@JessicaPutnamPhillips]

You can find the mats at Michaels and other craft stores. Also check out my site www.clayshare.com for more sources for rolling pins and other great tools for adding texture.
