What happens to pet hair in pottery? Does it burn up in the kiln?

Well...I came here to see if I could add Pottery to my hobby list. That's not going to happen at $955 a wheel.

She said on a budget lol

On bats: I use strictly those Speedball plastic bats, and I’ve been a serious potter for 7-8 years. I started using a ‘bat mate’ or ‘sticky bat’ under them. No more wobbles and warps.

Canadian creator! Hello. Great video!

Really appreciate your in depth video. Been researching a lot and reading what I can but your video has been the most helpful by far. Your honest take on what works and what doesn’t is really fantastic. Thank you!

You're really beautiful !!!!

Thanks for the video!! Its so nice to see someone in ontario do a video like this, now i know I can order from amaranth no problem! 😊

A year after your video. How are you doing? I am an older man who started up as a 30 something nontraditional student. I spent a lot of time intensely learning. Now I am well setup. I see needs to store fired pieces and thinking of selling and shipping. I feel for your situation on getting clay. Can you get any help from Duluth potters...just down the road?

Very helpful and informative! Thanks for sharing. I’m just about to start and find this very helpful. Question did you ever buy a kiln?

I appreciate the detail you shared in the video. The video on setting up your studio was most helpful. I don’t have a wheel yet but am considering getting an Olympic doll e kiln that can fire on standard home outlets with proper ventilation. I too live rural and don’t have easy access to a community space. Thanks and I look forward to more updates.

In Australia a water drain in a back yard or at a business used to be called a gully trap. In Canada it may have a different name. Houses used to have one and so did places like shops and schools and restaurants but now they only have them at businesses. They don’t have them very much at a private house. Thanks for a great video. Helpful, practical, useful to me.

bruh how is that a starter wheel??? my God

Thank you for sharing! It was super helpful. I'm going to save this video to reference as I set things up.

This was a really great video! I am new to pottery and same situation as you, I have taken two day-workshops and a series of 4 classes one on one and they have been great. But you really need more time in between to practice certain things over and over before an instructor can really help you move to the next step. Like someone else said most of these videos on RUclips are of experienced potters setups and not really practical for someone who needs to basics until they’re ready for that. Thank you for making this and all your advice! (Sorry for any typos)

Thanks for this video, extremely helpful!!! Got my list ready ✨🫂

Are you going to make some throwing videos?

Thanks for the information, very helpful. :)

I also started with a Speedball Artista wheel 7 years ago. I have added other equipment but never upgraded to a different wheel . So far, I have thrown 3.14 tons clay on the Speedball. Recommend purchasing a foot pedal and using a stop block on the pedal so the wheel turns 1.5 times per second. I wish I had purchased a sheet of Vinyl Unbound Remnant flooring from Home Depot to protect the studio floor. Keep practicing.

Hi watched both your videos, you’re really funny. So real. Like every time you realise you need something and have to go back down to your room to get it. The struggle is real. I hope you make more videos. You really are so relatable. I’ve not started yet, got everything but fear of starting is annoying. I also have a fur baby that I know will need to be on my lap when i start

This whole video, including the self-critical captions, is a mood. 😂 This video is super informative. Thanks!

This is pretty much how I started my own pottery studio in my basement. Only difference was that I decided to spring for the shimpo VL-lite. When I bought mine, it was about $1300. I felt like it was better midrange wheel than the tabletop ones and I know I’ll be throwing for a long time.

How about the kiln? Do you have your own or do you use firing services?

How do you fire? Where is the kiln?

You are very sweet... thank you for this video! :)

Oi lindo trabalho! Pode me dizer qual é sua argila?

❤ Beautiful 👌

👌 very informative, thanks 😊

Even the cheapest pottery studio isn't cheap enough for me T__T I guess i'll have to explore handbuilding then.

Its a great video and very useful! Thank you)

Really helpful video. Very happy that I’ve found your down to earth channel. Thank you.

I do have a question.. you mentioned you have a lot of dog hair around.. i do as well. I try not to let my dogs into the room, but i do have a lot on my clothes, they cling to everything.. i try to remove as much as i can, but i still find a bunch in my clay, do you have the same issue? How do you prevent dog hair from getting into your clay?

Not many videos like this around so thank you, plenty of well stocked people/studio's talk about this, but from their situation. This is where most people will actually be starting from, so this is far more fitting. Keep going with the videos, everyone starts off shaky and missing something, it's just many delete their starter videos. To further the options idea.... We have cheap shops here that sell carwash sponges for $2, they can be cut up into 10+ small sponges. We also got a super cheap pack of makeup sponges that work well. Another option for batts is tiles, they can be had cheap and in different sizes.

Amazing Nat. I'm so impressed!

The bats I use are made from Marine Ply, they take a lot more punishment than mdf or other composite boards. Thanks for walk through, much to do setting up home studio, would love to but still worrying about doing it. Good luck

Nearly every woodworking or furniture restoration video includes a “ shop dog”. Your doggo is no problem at all. Thank you for your encouragement to begin hand building. I tried throwing, but I just don’t have the “ hand” for it. Hand building looks achievable.

Thank u , amazing

There aren't enough hand built pottery videos out there, happy to see this! Hope there's more to follow :)

this is incredibly helpful!! thank you
