How to make a Sugar/ Sauce jar in the form of a sheep.

Throwing, coiling, sculpting, feet, lid, trimming and texturing. This piece has it all and you end up with a unique sculpted lidded jar that looks like a sheep.

I just adore the goats! They have a Puck Festival every year in Killorgan, County Kerry Ireland. We had the pleasure of attending the last day one year. Wish I could make the goats as good as you! I learn something new every time I watch you’re video’s. Cheers

[@Nrscathy60]

I love the sheep. Maybe put the head into the middle for a handle or pull. I also think if you made them canister sized for flour amd sugar with head in the middle, you will sell sets like hot cakes. The way they are amd size they look awkward. Love your work though! Seriously talented!

[@Vsmithpots]

We do that too, with all sorts of animal heads and even some whimsical human heads.

[@janeneh.3093]

Awesome Video!!!!! Great video on showing throwing. You have a unique way of teaching, and I love it! I've watched many pottery videos but a💡💡💡 went off a few times watching this video !😳😵 ...Did I mention I really liked your video?... 😁

[@maryhawkins310]

I am so enjoying your channel. You are such a skilled craftsman. These animal pieces are magical! New to pottery and I learn something new every time I watch. Question: when do you make a piece (like a head) hollow so it doesn’t fall apart in the kiln?

[@Vsmithpots]

I think 1 inch thickness is the most you should have, even then you have to fire the kiln much slower.

[@Adnancorner]

Do you have a video talking about different clay types with what colors comes out after baking them in kiln ? Red, white or grey clay ? thanks

[@krysiaidzior6426]

.Your tips seem so easy to use. Do You make workshops in Your studio?

[@Vsmithpots]

We did before Covid, I had 18 students.

[@simonthorneycroft1339]

Very nice. Quick question, how do you set about glazing the spoons and keeping them from sticking to anything during firing? with thanks, Simon

[@Vsmithpots]

I fire on stilts but the handle has a bare spot near the top on the back

A little curl in the end of the tail?

[@Nrscathy60]

Dont sheep have puff ball tails??

[@Vsmithpots]

Sort of, definitely not long like my spoons but function dictates some artistic license here.

Looks more like goat heads... Cute but goat not sheep

[@kateaspinall4044]

I agree with you, they are cute! But I don't know what kind of sheep you have where you are but these are most definitely not goats! Try googling Shetland sheep, Swaledale, Manx Loaghtan, Jacobs...
