Sprig Molds!!! Making and using your own sprig molds.

[@HenkSherri]

I love how informal this was :). It held my attention a lot more than heavily edited and scripted videos. x

Thank you and I am glad you enjoyed it!

Love your videos. Love them unedited. I learn so much from you and your positive creative spirit..just makes you so darn personal and fun to learn from.

[@jenniferboyd4729]

You asked what other topics we would like to see. I’d LOVE LOVE LOVE if you’d do a video of painting and layering glazes. Not dipped or poured. I don’t have the set up for that but I’d love some tips from you on painted on layers Thanks lady. Love your videos!

[@JessicaPutnamPhillips]

I can do that. I do have a few painting on glaze classes on my website tv.clayshare.com if you want to check that out in the meantime. :)

[@TheDeerInn]

You are such a natural when making your videos that I don't think you need to edit. You make such beautiful things with such great ideas.

[@JessicaPutnamPhillips]

thank you! :)

You do such a great job - you don't need editing

[@kerrywelch7783]

Love the sprig as a handle idea. Love your honesty and your bluntness is very nicely said.

[@jessicamartinez634]

Hello from 5 years later! I heard about you on an episode of the potters cast #777 Jaspreet Kaur. She and the host had such nice things to say about you, I had to check your videos out. They were right! I learned something new and I really enjoyed your video, so thank you for sharing! I look forward to learning more from your videos from now on!

[@granywonder57]

Jess you are so awesome . I dig your enthusiasm

[@amandaparker243]

Thankyou for your video; i enjoyed your natural way of talking so don’t worry about edits.

[@TXDHC]

You're a great teacher!!!

[@charlottehardwick5728]

A great deal of information and your attitude is wonderful.

[@lornamdesigns]

Great videos. I learned all kinds of tricks. Thank you for the inspiration!

[@patriciafurr4771]

Informative and helpful

[@barbrakelley3771]

I'm new to pottery and very happy to have found your videos. You are an absolute doll to watch and learn from. Keep them coming and as the other comments say, it is like hanging out with a good friend.

[@bon47ful]

Zowie! Your pieces are spectacular! So inventive! Really fun. Ty.

[@allalevine5744]

Thanks a lot, very informative video

[@cm6815]

Great tips once again. Appreciated my first introduction to wet sanding. So much safer. Thanks again.

[@jackiemorrison6024]

I've actually done this but didn't know what it was called... thanks so much

[@leahnorem]

you are fantastic and I love your videos! life is too short to edit videos! make more pottery 😄

[@cjl.6394]

I agree...don't edit!

[@brianrichards3774]

Thanks for this. I like your approach and I also like the no music better.

[@nancysimpson3901]

I just love this. I have several pieces that would love to copy. Thank you.

[@ritaholmes6962]

Jessica this is so cool! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@viviansaichdesigns5939]

[@donnachizewsky6390]

I love your work! And as another commenter stated, you have a great personality for this! And the information is spot on! Thank you so much!

[@mintydollies8714]

Thank you for sharing your expertise with all of us!!!

[@linneakokinos9940]

So awesome!!!!!! Thank you I'm going to be be making a lot of them ;)

[@drewconrad3934]

I just made a few of these for my ceramics class! I have an independent study and wanted to have some new tools for when I make some pieces!

[@rejanelima173]

Love you you are great teacher

[@Felikeramik]

It's so much fun to watch you. Thank you :) Great Job. Lot a learn.

[@j.gustavsen7571]

full of life - lovely to watch :) greetings from Denmark

[@lorrainedavis9775]

Love your videos so relaxed but informative

[@aflowergoddess]

Thanks for your videos Jessica. I like the no music better. You keep a running, detailed commentary of what's happening with the clay and in your thinking about it. Love it. and and music makes it harder to concentrate and follow. I too encourage you to not edit your videos. I feel like you are my friend, right there across the table from me in the way you do your videos. editing would mess that up. I'm planning on carving some sprigs, as I'm really into the sgraffito right now. So this was a great intro. Thanks a bunch!

[@sam111880]

Nice, your essentially making your own ceramic mold stamps. Cool to get all those 3D texture affects on vases, pots,..etc. You can also fire the positive or negative molds to get indents as another affect basically your unlimited in what you can add for 3D designs provided you have a starter sculpture/initial object you want to uses. If you don't have a starter object your going to need to sculpt it from scratch. Very creative ideas as you could buy textured rollers but why if you can make your own with any design you want. Cool Cool Cool

[@klp4655]

I just discovered your videos and I am so glad I did. It is so nice to see an unedited spur of the moment attitude. Also, your range of subjects is incredible. Keep up the great videos and beautiful work.

[@michellerene6366]

Great fun!

[@luciegilchrist240]

Thank you!!! It was amazing!! ❤️

[@chalkychoochoo2304]

Yoo're a nice lady! I like yoo! I'm a cat learning to make sprig molds, fankoo.

[@wirewrappedforsale]

very cool great teacher xo

[@funnylovers1379]

Very nice video.

[@francesgribbon5322]

Jessica....I know this is an older video, and you may not see this.....but...how do you keep sprigs from warping if you don’t use them immediately? I make many sprigs at once to use on tiles....but sometimes they warp. Also, I agree with everyone else, no music. It actually detracts (and cheapens?) your videos. THANK YOU for making sprigs from clay...it was hard to find a video where anyone make them without plaster! I LOVE your videos and I have learned so much from you!

[@victoriabailey1958]

Thank you, so much:) I enjoyed your video and thanks for sharing with us.

[@gonzaloromero8717]

You don't need to edit your video. You did a great job. I enjoyed and learned a lot. Thanks for sharing.

[@aricastano5597]

Enjoy your presentations. How do you add back the detail once you have pressed it on the cup?

[@wendelinschlegel2602]

You're an awesome potter

[@micheledickey4066]

I can not believe I hadn’t thought to make my own sprig molds!!! I have made them with polymer clay, wax and by mixing cornstarch with caulking! But never this. On my way out to do this now!!

[@moxiesmom51]

Good job!

[@HilaryBravo]

I don't edit my videos either - I don't know how and I don't have the time also - but I think that is fine - it keeps them fresh and friendly. I love your work and way of working.

[@Dally_Sparkles]

cool video.. gave me ideas

[@thenorthscopeny682]

😍😍😍 Love that hair! 👌

[@tarabaird2437]

Thank you!!! Thank you!! I'm enjoying your videos and learning a lot. Thanks for sharing!

[@granywonder57]

So cute

[@cathyarsenault5789]

Great info! Thanks you!

[@magnuswootton7368]

if u want to go crazy with this, it makes beautiful embossed illustrations... i wonder if she knows... the vase is amazin too thanks.

[@zaliecranwell432]

Thanks for your video Jessica - really clear explanations.😊. What is the smooth board material you are using please ? I’m forever having patterns in my slabs

[@peterpan5232]

Probably you know it, you're very special, I like your tutorials, about your sprig molds, i'd like to mention; instead of using slib, I think it's better to use vinegar, because there will not be too much clay round your sprig mold? Thank you for your nice and fine exclamations. You do it fine. Pieter in Belgium Europe

[@mariecardenas5867]

Love you videos. Please don't change them. What is the green flat mat you are using?

[@goinblinddoggone]

it is a cutting mat, you can buy them at art and craft shops

[@riverglistenpottery6050]

Thank you!

[@bettyminter2310]

What is the green surface you are working on? Thanks for the great lessons you give.

[@velindasimpson3842]

I loved when you accidently dropped your daughters art. Lol! That was so real. Glad you didn't edit it. Maybe, you should do a blooper video. Love your work.

[@francesgribbon5322]

Velinda Butler ...I agree! A blooper video would be good! NOT that Jessica has many bloopers.

[@velindasimpson3842]

Frances Gribbon Yes, she’s a master at her craft. I appreciate that she share it.

[@tomlynn7631]

very good if i could hear you

[@terispadafora9762]

Working on some commissioned work that needs to be a bit fussy...I loved this...hugely helpful.

[@darcilenealvessilva5101]

Muito lindo Amei de mais ❤❤

[@tonipeters2267]

Could you use the non stick spray for getting better details when applying texture ?

[@kaymacomb8393]

do you have to cover this cup now after you’ve add the sprig?

[@jennifershumate6466]

Can you attach those kinds of clay pieces to a slip molded piece?

[@Clayfairyceramics]

Is wooden roller better or a marble roller better to roll slabs of clay

[@pennyreagan4498]

Please don't edit your videos! I feel like I am sitting in your studio when you hop up to get something! I am really enjoying your instructions!

[@bon47ful]

Very fun, Jessica. I like your affirmational attitude about making art. Do you ever use low fire clay for hand-building? Ty. ❤️

[@ВалентинаБашоян]

Добрый день. Спасибо что Вы есть.😊. Клеить на подсохшее изделие можно ?🤔

[@DonaldDrennan]

How did you make the grenade Iook metallic?

[@maryverrette1158]

I’m having trouble getting the clay out of my fondant molds. Did you spay the mold you used for your daughter’s skull?

[@francesgribbon5322]

Mary Verrette ...I also have a hard time releasing from a fondant mold...especially without distortion.

[@micheledickey4066]

If the clay is more dry that really helps.

[@CeeJayKay]

I just place it onto the table with the clay side down and gently lift up the end of the fondant mold and pull it off of the clay and it releases easily without damage to the clay.

[@dorfriedman9115]

Thanks for the great video! Your so charming and beautiful :)

[@darlenedsdesigns3005]

Would you be able to use polymer clay (Sculpey) for your molds? Possibly less shrinkage.

[@ouzaouza1]

I like you a lot you are great lady thanks for everything .first time I sou your video I subscribed your channel,

[@kristin3125]

Hello, I need hellllppp. I new to pottery and my clay smells like it has mold .. I came home today and one of the piece I made has white mold on it what do I do.

[@edstud1]

Could you use plaster? Could you please give me the stoneware clay recipe link? Or a video of how to make it?

[@wendymar007]

I thought you shouldn't use an exacto on a plaster bat so as to not get particles in the clay or score the bat?

[@karenjohnson3779]

I find it better to spray the clay instead of the object. It keeps from missing small areas which eventually stick to the clay. I haven’t had any trouble using it in reclaimed clay works.

[@PatchworkFarmette]

what is the green surface you are working on

[@susanpriem1739]

Hi Jessica, where did you get a surface without texture. I’ve been unable to find one. Thanks

[@laurataylor7103]

If you make a sprig mold that you used cooking oil or wd30 on, but it didn't work out, can you still reclaimed or even immediately reuse the clay with the oil on it?

[@evelynederoo6232]

hi, how do you get rid of the oil that stays on the mold impression? doesnt this interfere in the firing?

[@kathlynjohnson6247]

What is the green surface you are working on? And, I open have trouble removing the sprig from the mold, especially the small ones, how do you keep it from sticking? Enjoyed your video.

[@organicabowls8123]

Kathlyn Johnson I really want to know as well : )

[@AnonEMouse-lk3ji]

She said she is using a "slab mat". And to keep them from sticking she uses Pam cooking spray or similar

[@laurataylor7103]

Ha! Idea! You could do a sprig mold of the cameo, &turn it in to a grenade! Talk about juxta!

[@CoxJoxSox]

Haha - make a granade vase! :D

[@MsDgulia]

😉🙏

[@CoxJoxSox]

Let's hear it for child labor - lol - get that girl to start making mugs!

Love your videos, got to give this a try. Not really a fan of the music.

the music adds nothing

I prefer without music
