[@corinamihailiuc]

Great video! Yes, yes & yes, we want all the videos you mentioned!

[@laluna6395]

Yes! Do more videos on everything you mentioned!!

[@RookiePotter]

YES! Please share with us how you left your job to become a full-time potter! I would love to hear about the art organization you are working for now, but would also ask why you didn't go the route of opening a community studio

[@MaeCeramics]

I just don’t have the resources/energy to do that, but I’m working for one instead.

[@beinghere1494]

I simply love your spontaneity and really want you to know that you are being so much more inspirational than you can imagine. Bless your beautiful boyfriend, he’s a treasure. Abundant blessings to you both. You’re both inspirational 🤗🙏🏼🌈

[@pottervalleydylan]

[@trishmacmillan4646]

I love your natural approach. So nice to listen to you and you have so much to teach. I really appreciate you! Thank you for your videos. I love your honesty and how you share your process. I find it calming and reassuring . Many hugs from a fellow potter who has so much to learn.

[@hajnikele4367]

Yes please- would love to hear about your past& present job! I ran my bath& body business for 7 years full time. Never again!

[@LeticiaWorld]

Thank you for answering those questions! Super useful and awesome video!

Haha too funny I came here to watch your q&a video while my Guinness.cake is in the oven!!!! Pop over to Ireland for a bite!!!!😂❤🎉

[@gaymerjames4127]

So talented and wonderful

[@sholipysh9493]

yup, putting stuff in your mouth is the best technique to understand if cup is comfy to use

[@MaeCeramics]

It sounds silly but it is tried and tested ✅

[@sholipysh9493]

@@MaeCeramics I agree! I do the same 🫶

[@butterflyinez1]

Kia ora from Ōtautahi, Christchurch! This was super helpful and some great answers to some great questions. I've learnt heaps. Thank you for being so accessible and yourself. 😊Oh and yes, please would love to know how you began your business. 🙏🏼

[@shelleydoxtdator753]

Great video 😊 What’s your favourite piece to make? What’s your best seller?

[@tinymillymakes]

I would definitely use bleach instead of vinegar if you've got smelly clay or underglaze. Vinegar will increase bacterial growth and bleach will kill it!

[@sandykerr60s]

Was just watching this to confirm you are a kiwi. Oh and also cos I'm a kiwi potter and happened across your videos. Cool az.

[@rbukulelevids5163]

Hi Lilly. I hope your finger heals soon. I can totally relate because I jammed my finger in the car door last week. I tried to throw yesterday, and still way too much pain. Yours looks way worse than mine though.

[@MaeCeramics]

Oof I’m sorry to hear that - is it broken? I went to the doc today and it’s looking good she said, I’ll be back throwing soon 💅

[@rbukulelevids5163]

@@MaeCeramics to be honest, I don't know if it is broken. It's right near the tip (just behind the nail), so if it's just a bit broken, I don't think the treatment would be any different anyway. It's really annoying because it's my right index finger, so I use it for nearly everything. Glad to hear yours is nearly better. I hope I'll be back throwing by next week, but I don't really know.

[@zeeshansaleem3442]

My same work

[@Worrier629]

Would look out for an answer to my question on preventing cracks on plates during firing when they don’t have a foot ring…thanks.

[@MaeCeramics]

Check out my shorts or my bisque firing video for my videos where I go into firing plates on their side, it helps a lot

[@soph3861]

Where is your hoodie from!! I need to know

[@MaeCeramics]

I got it at the Bon Iver show - I’m sure you can get them online 🥰

[@rw9207]

If you're lonely, have you considered sharing your studio with someone?

[@anishramkissoon1314]

Hi, which pottery forming machine do you use?

[@MaeCeramics]

I use a pottery wheel, a Rohde HMT 500

[@anishramkissoon1314]
