13:00 you can totally reglaze the rim and refire it to make it foodsafe :) also if you need to reglaze a small area that doesn't have to be foodsafe (like the bottom of a bowl or something) you can just use paint and clear nail polish to fix it up, no refiring required (i work at a pottery studio lol)
Wait!! You can negotiate the sample prices for manufacturing, I always ask before working with them how many revisions can be made for one sample cost. You can also ask them if they refund sample costs after you make a large order!
your shift to a made-to-stock model and the introduction of designed manufactured items alongside handmade ones is a smart pivot in today's fast-paced market! Leveraging tools like Milanote for organization can truly streamline processes and enhance creativity. 🎨
Yesterday I was listening to one of your videos while working at my draining corporate graphic design job, thinking to myself how inspiring you are, and how I can't wait to create a life for myself that I would feel about the way you do about the beautiful life you have created. I've been following you on RUclips for two years or so, and your videos leave me eager to make positive changes in my life, pursue art and be more kind to myself. You sound so inspiring and happy, not in a pretentious bragging way, but like a person who is speaking from her heart, radiating pure happiness, gratitude and peace. It's just a joy to watch and listen to you. Wish you all the best and stay your lovely self. Sending much love from Germany. ❤
I’ve had a tough week w my dad in the hospital with cancer and audibly said “yay” when I saw you posted a video. Your vid’s make me happy ❤ even during a tough time. I don’t have the energy or inspiration to create right now so thank you letting me live vicariously through you
for ceramics : you can reglaze / refire multiple times if needed ! You can also sand it a bit if the rim is too rough, i would sand it with some water, clean it, then reglaze (and you can resand after the refire too if that's still too rough to drink from, if you don't over do it + use water, it shouldn't damage the glaze but just help polishing it) Also heating up the piece with a heat gun before reglazing will help the new glaze to stick on the non pourous already glazed parts, but no worries if you don't, just let it dry longer 🧡
Yes, you can refire! I also recommend you to compress the rim of your pieces so that they are smooth. I use a piece of a thicker plastic bag for that, a lot of potters use a piece of leather. Or you can slightly sand it after bisque. Then even if the glaze doesn't completely cover it (which is no big deal btw), it will still be a nice experience to drink out of 🎉 You got this!
I have been struggling with school, with friends, and just life in general, and your videos make me feel comforted, and productive. I was so sad to see you getting burnt out this last few months, and it makes me so happy to see you happy. I am so excited for your plushies and hope i can get one soon ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hello Tammy. I found your page about a week ago and I've been learning a lot from you since. I've been meaning to start a different kind of art business for a long while now and I just needed a bit of motivation and that push to do it. So thank you for the inspiration and keep going. Well done! Just wanted to add that even though you mention your shyness and you seem gentle and feminine, I truly believe it's your persistence and strong mindset that allowed you to master your craft along with vlogging and editting your videos in the process. So be proud of yourself. You're making our days that much brighter. ❤🎉 Take care. Much love
Thank you for being another youtuber giving me confidence to start online work🙏🏾 Everyday is now going to be a routine as if Its a job and life at the same time
I love when you're more chatty and share your world and thoughts with us ! You're one of my top5 creators, don't give up on your dreams, you're doing great really really good!
I just wanna say thank you. I've been following you for a while now and watching your videos has made me want to keep going with my small buisness. I've been learning quite much from your perspective and putting it into practice. Keep going with your ideas and keep growing Tammy
Every time I see a new video it makes me smile 😊. Your voice is soft and calming so I can listen to the vid and so something else while listening at night when I don’t want something loud.❤
Pottery was used way before glaze was around - and even after, without it. Afaik, there is no danger drinking/ eating out of an unglazed ceramic cup/ plate, etc.
I love your videos, I’ve been going through a slump and a breakup and you have helped inspire me too get up and do things and get my life together. Thank you so much!
I feel like I'm dying from the abundance of kindness that your videos contain. I feel very happy watching your videos, and I didn't know your channel until just yesterday.😭💗🌟✨
Yay love your vlogs! Your mindset on how you approach learning and business 🤌✨ so excited to see the plushie project process! You seem so happy and wow so impressed with those heavy weights! Get it! 💚
I have been following you from the very beginning. I am so proud of you. Although I don't "know" you, I feel I I know enough to say you are a talented , bright, intelligent, determined, go getter, and through all your determination you have successfully made a wonderful business and I know in my heart all your dreams have/will come true. I admire your humility, you seem very humble. Thank you for sharing your journey. You're a great example to show others that with hard work, self discipline, and determination you can persevere. I look forward to your next video and the continuance of your journey. Stay gold!! God bless you❤
I always look forward to your videos! Excited that youre reopening your shop too 😭💖 hopefully I can catch something before it all sells out (which I bet will be super quick!)
It’s so nice to just sit n watch your video. Becos my eyes is not that good nowadays I normally watch your channel on the tv screen first then go to my hp screen ( my tv application for a ‘like’ not working at the moment) n watch your video again to give it a thumbs up. I enjoy your channel so much n becos of you,I have ask my niece to help me assemble my own collection of paintings n drawings that I’ve made n like n hopefully am gonna load it on my account. Thanku for inspiring an old lady like me. Luv your small home base business cos it’s cozy but financially sound! Take care
Tammy, you're an inspiration. It's only the first quarter of the year and you already achieved many of your goals on growing your business already. Well done and doing well. 😊
I'm actually amazed at how confidently and quickly you reached out to your potential manufacturers. I've been looking at starting a business and that part completely paralyses me, so thank you for the confidence boost! Seeing you do it made it seem so possible and comfy. :) Also it seems like you went from reaching out (or at least doing the bulk of communication) to ordering a sample in one day?? That's so fast!
I just found your account last night and have been bingeing your content. Wow. I cannot even begin to explain how helpful your videos have been for me & how wholesome & COMFY. I just launched my small business 3 weeks ago selling herbal medicinal teas & products. Thank you thank you for being such a cute light in the world of information on small business. I am so grateful I found your videos 😭
I'm so happy i found your channel. I've been so scared to start even with my art in general. I'm 33 yrs old and i had my son at 19 which i was blessed but altered my plans for what I could put my time into. You bring me so much courage to just simply get back into my art and keep going.
That thing with the glaze happened to me too!!! My teacher told me that I didn't properly clean up the dust before applying my clear glaze. From that moment, I always cleaned my pieces with a wet rag and issues like this never happened again.
Tammy you literally have the best content in whole youtube you are my favorite content creator and your videos gives me inspiration ✨️ and l love you soooooooo much
You are so inspiring and relatable! I hope to be successful like you! I really want to start my own business once I graduate! Listening to your videos already makes me feel motivated to do it!
My god, i dont know you personally tammy, but i am just so proud of your progress so far! I love how you become more and more professional and still keep your og style and core theme.❤ so looking forward for your journey. Much love from Germany❤
Hey friend my boo got me a tempered glass cutting board for my clay and I think you would love it honestly!! The durability and smoothness is unmatched !!
You are very inspiring. Hoping to create my own small business, but i definitely will make molds of my pieces and paint details to avoid burnout of creating the same thing over and over again.
FYI the free version of Milanote does limit the amount of items you use, you can only use 100 times. So when you start creating a board and adding images, swatches, comments, notes, they will add up fast! So watch out for how much you’re adding~
I found your channel the other day and cannot stop watching! You're content is so good 🤍 I really would love to purchase something during the May drop, hoping its affordable because your characters are so cute!
I just binge watched all your content and I really enjoy your clay art . I was wondering if you planned on doing custom requested keychains with for example a portrait of a dog similar to the one keychain you made previously 🥺
I was a ceramics major in college and find working with polymer clay to be soooooo hard!! I like the convenience of it and that the results are more guaranteed but it's much harder to actually sculpt with imo. But I'm getting used to it, and I'm sure that in time you will get used to ceramics as well!
You are indeed an incredible young soul! Yes…spoken like a doting grandma…but it’s true. Going to give Milanote a go…I need some serious project planning help. I have so many products in my shop and so many more in production my head is spinning. Crossing my fingers that Peach Maxine makes it to the reopening of your shop & that I can grab one when they are in stock. I need a studio companion to keep me going! Sh-h-h don’t tell my dogs I’m looking at bringing Maxine home; they think they are my cheering squad! Notability sounds interesting…I’ll check it out too. Excited to watch your progress. 🐾💕🐾
a sticker that says coffee break, "time to breathe" "water break", "meditate" "snack time", would be cool for back to school. =) a subtle reminder to folx for some self care. even one that says "self care time".
You should consider sending your manu a front, side and back view of your plushie. Makes the process much easier as the manu as a better idea what to go off of. I'd also recommend making extra graphics for important details.
You can absolutely refire with more glaze on the rim. Unglazed doesn't necessarily make it not food safe either, that just depends on the clay. I'd be willing to bet that whatever clay you're using it food safe, it's not like you're using raku or something. You could ask the manufacturer though :)
I'd say pick something your passionate about and don't worry what else is out there. Nobody will ever be you. If you put yourself into your art, you can definitely still stand out.

bruhhhh i had no idea lmfaoooo thank you
I love ppl helping ppl
A lot of unglazed pottery is actually still food safe-it just depends on the type of clay and temperature it was fired to!

That thing with the glaze happened to me too!!! My teacher told me that I didn't properly clean up the dust before applying my clear glaze. From that moment, I always cleaned my pieces with a wet rag and issues like this never happened again.

I’m saving up all my money to buy one of your products and I’m so excited when I do😊
I just wanted to say CONGRATULATIONS, I literally just saw on an Amazon small business grant ad on RUclips.
Amazing work 👏🏾

Always so comforting watching you 🥰❤ also VERY EXCITED for the plushie 🤩
amazing work , the design is very sweet.
I love this, as a new small business owner you inspire me

I like the convenience of it and that the results are more guaranteed but it's much harder to actually sculpt with imo. But I'm getting used to it, and I'm sure that in time you will get used to ceramics as well!
The stickers design looks so cute!
I love the Maxine mug! 🥲😍
You bring so much comfort to all of us with your videos. Thank you!
you could use/sell some of the ceramics as trinket dishes! (since there’s some glazing issues)
No problem refiring your pieced! They look great! Well done and thanks for sharing!
Your ceramics pieces turned out so beautiful! I'm so excited to see your journey!
Soo cute the peach maxine 😊😊😊😊😊😊

Vc tem sido uma inspiração tão forte pra mim. É uma da minhas artistas favoritas.😊😊😊
a sticker that says coffee break, "time to breathe" "water break", "meditate" "snack time", would be cool for back to school. =) a subtle reminder to folx for some self care. even one that says "self care time".
ahhh such good ideas!!! tysm!!!
@@tammydinh I’ll be here all night 😂👍🏼
The perfect artist ❤
This was so cozy and nice to watch :)

Love you Tammy 🤍🍊
Good for you! Lifting heavy weights!
You are an inspiration!!
You are sooooo pretty 🥹🥹🥹
That peach turned out so cuuuute and the bunny pancake. I was looking for chilli oil online today 🤤🫶
aahhh tysm!!! chili oil is my favorite - i think you can get it at most grocery stores now!!
Artist diaries! Yes Yes Yes!!
You can absolutely refire with more glaze on the rim. Unglazed doesn't necessarily make it not food safe either, that just depends on the clay. I'd be willing to bet that whatever clay you're using it food safe, it's not like you're using raku or something. You could ask the manufacturer though :)
I've seen your chili oil eggs and noodles lunch in a couple videos and they look soooo good! Would you show us how you make them sometime?
YESSSSSSS LOVE YOUR VIDEO SO MUCH I AM GOING TO KEEP IT FOR TOMOROW or later its 2am where i live ❤❤❤
I wanna open an art business so bad, but everything I come up with has already been done so my shop just won't stand out at all
I'd say pick something your passionate about and don't worry what else is out there. Nobody will ever be you. If you put yourself into your art, you can definitely still stand out.
You are a great inspiration ❤
I love your videos... It always motivates me🥹❣️
This video was really comfy
