Slab Built and Pressed Plates

[@hosseingholamie2383]

thank you very much Jessica. Thank you taught me so much. I discovered a new you. Imagine being on the hospital bed (due to leukemia), and looking at your channel and wishing that one day, with his friend, he could have such a workshop and such a teacher.

[@cecilknutson226]

Thank you, Jessica, for no music; a clear view of what is being done; no arbitrary point-of-view changes; excellent enunciation; making good use of used materials; a pleasant demeanor; funny little quips; suggestions for alternative methods and materials; and staying on point and in context. This is how instructional videos should be made. I would like tapered edges. How to do that? Chamfering the edge of the pressing-disk would reduce, if not eliminate, the line left on the plate. Or, just use a plain disk sized to fit the cups that will be used with the saucers. Your facial expressions are delightful! Altogether good work.

[@marciahankins2569]

You have a very light & fun way of teaching. I love it! I started in Ceramics as a teacher in the mid 70"s. I'm so happy to see you doing KZbin videos to keep this art thriving & growing! Thanks!

[@margaretfrew6661]

Hi Jessica. I keep on re-watching your videos, they are lovely.Your hair has grown since this video.

[@tinafreels1704]

Thanks for your fun video. I’m new to clay, and am obsessed with slab clay techniques. Your video is fantastic.

[@rosamindel6492]

You are a real teacher. I am learning and enjoying every one of your demonstrations .

[@eddym5532]

Wow I like how you explain it. Simple and make it look easy.

[@BeachsideHank]

You are a natural at exposition. Television and movie execs call that gift "Q", it is something special that cannot easily be defined, but people know it when they see it. ☺

[@mountainfever]

My son and really enjoyed your video- he's 8 and we homeschool and we are starting to do ceramics but neither of us know ANYTHING lol so we need starter videos like this- thanks so much! We both enjoyed your teaching style- very personable and down to earth- felt like we were in a real class, which I love!

[@parthadey9373]

Hi Jess! This is the first time I noticed you are an AF veteran! Thank you for your service! My husband is a retired AF medic and I'm retired Army! I initially began learning pottery at our craft shop, here at Ft. Huachuca! Anyway, I appreciate your videos, because I'm working on my own home studio a lot more, so that I can do more work at home! Thank you!

[@luciegilchrist240]

Very helpful as usual! Love how you teach!

[@kathleenmatthews1737]

Thank you so much for your generous teaching. You are very inspirational and gifted. I love the way you blend your military life with beautiful, natural, whimsical elements.

[@sallyweiner4180]

I was just going to make the little bean/rice/sand bags and wasn’t sure what to use. Thank you so much!

[@samuelturnerakabjornflamer8225]

Fantastic! I have always wanted to make plates but I am totally a hand builder. Thank you so much for presenting this video. It was clear, succinct and fun. You just widened my skills, a bundle. I'll look for your website next.

[@vannaza1897]

Hi, Vanna here from sardinia..Clever idea I'll have a go at it! Thanks for your tips , I love your videos.

[@catwoolf11]

I'm working on a grueling paper for a special certification. When I need a break, I go to one of your videos. Their informational, pleasant, and relaxing. Maybe one day I'll actually get some clay and do something. So thanks.

[@carolinaregge-hoffman418]

Thanks for sharing. You do a great job of breaking things down and explaining all the different pieces of the process. I also love the templates ideas. I'll be looking forward to other videos.

[@joanwasdovitch3399]

You are a great teacher. I love your video. You are very thorough in showing how things work. Love it very much. Thanks for taking the time to teach us. I am new to pottery.

[@rebeccagrider7359]

Had to comment...the wood disk you’re using looks like it should be a jar lid and that makes me think that many other jar lids would be great... thanks for inspiring me to think outside the box. My daughter-in-law just shared with me that she used a fruit net for a design... like you might get lemons in. I’m going to try it.

[@JessicaPutnamPhillips]

A jar lid certainly would work and the fruit netting does make fabulous textures! :)

[@luciegilchrist240]

You are my favourite clay KZbin channel and teacher!!! I also love your app!! Thank you for all you give us!, you’re the best part of my “me time”😊

[@fernhoinowski9581]

Great demo. Terrific ideas. I will definitely try this out. Thanks for holding things up close to the camera. It helps a lot to see details closely.

[@lidwinm]

Really well explained..............love your videos!

[@anagoge1]

Great video, Jessica. I'm used to throwing but this is much better and easier.

[@daviddunn2278]

[@ArtWaleSir26]

You are a great teacher....

[@JessicaPutnamPhillips]

Thank You! :)

[@cathygurley520]

I love your videos! I have watched this one several times and still get new ideas from it. Your personality really comes through and it's like taking a personal class with you. Thanks !

[@signalinthenoise]

You are amazing, and what an inspiration! I will share your video with other wanna-be potters and a couple of real ones, too lol. I thought I would also share something with you - Just a little true story regarding clay. I work at a school and one of the classes I am in is a pottery class. I took pottery many years ago, when I was in a similar class in high school. When the head teacher of the class was ill, the sub was my high school pottery teacher! I cannot tell you how incredible it was to be taken back to a much younger state of mind, lol. Needless to say, I cried when he made a bowl for me as a gift. I know it's a rather dorky little story, but I thought you might like it :-). Watching you and your friendly and cheerful style is delightful and really appreciated. Thank you so much!

[@margiefleming6678]

You are a very good teacher! Thank You for explaining things so well!

[@ceramiclabs]

Simple and very effective technique. Thank you for great presentation and sharing.

[@victoriabailey1958]

I am so glad there is NOT any music because I can't hear you talking if there is music. Thank you for not playing the music.

[@anthonymcaulay6137]

This is inspirational. Thank you. I haven't done pottery for forty years but now I want to make plates :-)

[@JessicaPutnamPhillips]

So happy to hear you are inspired to get back into pottery! I hope you do so! :)

[@RoosterPootPottery]

So glad you made this video!

[@zekerael5221]

I am just starting to create ceramics. You make it easy to understand the how. And I appreciate your creative use of everyday objects. Based on your pressing technique, I look forward to using it once I master the basics.

[@jennythorarensen2299]

Another great video 👏 Thank you!

[@incilakay2303]

You are quite a teacher - thank-you!

[@katherineravnik5994]

Loved your video! Love that it has NO music! It makes easier to hear with no distractions! Love the new format as well. Just met you at 2019 Claytopia. I bought my daughter a Brent wheel. I am so excited because she wants me to get involved and I can do this part & she can throw. What a team effort! She makes the cups , I make the saucers! 😁😀 Great video & we will look forward to watching more! May God bless you as you have blessed us!

[@corkcummings]

I really like the You Tube video. I can go back and watch it while doing it step by step! Thank you Jessica!!!

[@reeceespieces1014]

I'm glad you didn't have music in the background. Sometimes I can't understand exactly what the videographer is saying because of too loud music.

[@kareneld]

Couldnt agree more....

[@JessicaPutnamPhillips]

reecee'spieces101 I completely understand that. Without the music it creates a more focused teaching environment!

[@cyndimoll5195]

Yes, no background music. I can concentrate better.

[@cyndimoll5195]

I’m sure you have videos on decorating pieces. If not, do some please.
