How to Make a Bird Bath - The Pinch Pot Bird Decoration (PART 2) Pottery Tutorial
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 31 окт 2021
- Hello again from The Pottery Corner - my studio near Chichester on the South Coast of England. In this video tutorial I give a step by step guide of the whole making process to decorate the Bird Bath made out of Craft Crank stoneware clay using a rhubarb leaf that we made in Part 1 of this Playlist of Videos from the Studio. This is the second part of a 3-part playlist where I cover all the tips and techniques you will need to make this project. There is one other videos to come which will explain the glazing and show the finished piece. Please look out for these videos on my channel via the Bird Bath Playlist. In this video we make the pinch pot birds and a cheeky little snail to decorate the interior of the leaf to give it more interest. Pinch pots are probably the earliest form of clay pots ever made and are still useful for some applications today. So whether you are a beginner or a more experienced potter I hope there is something to learn from this tutorial. I really hope you may decide to make the whole project.
The Great Pottery Throwdown on the television has inspired me to share my techniques for this handbuilding project. I hope this will inspire you to make your own. It would be great to see photos of your version via email to sarah@thepotterycorner.co.uk. Check out my Pottery Top Tip videos for tips on clay related processes.
My work is available to purchase via my Etsy shop (link below) if you’d be kind enough to take a look.

Who would possibly even think of putting a thumbs down on your in depth ,fab, generous and entertaining tutorial apart from a envious and very rude troll ,thumbs down to the seemingly very spiteful rude troll from me 👎🏼.
Thanks Pamela - I hadn't actually noticed it but there is always one person! Thanks for your support - I'll have you in an argument any day 😂
Hello there from south of France.

Hi Gary - great to have you along. Thanks for watching all the videos on the channel 😀. Always new content coming out so don't forget to subscribe! Thanks 😁
I have actually never seen anyone explain how to make a pinch pot by pulling the clay upwards!! I never really learned how to make one but I have watched videos. I’ve tried it several times but they have all cracked on the inside! Your birds are absolutely beautiful!! They are so realistic!!
Thanks again Michele. So pleased you're learning along the way 😀
The two birds seem to be puzzled by the snail. Very cute 'scene' for your birdbath. And it is beautifully glazed. Lovely project! Thanks!
Thanks again. Love the expression too 😁
Phrases you use that I can’t get enough of 💜: “so I’m just going to offer it up”, “In true Blue Peter style”, “scratch and sniff”, “whereabouts”, “craft crank”, “give it a good scratch up, don’t be shy”, “to avoid him blowing up in the kiln, which is never a good look”. I just love your style & the way you say words in your accent. Great, very helpful video. So excited for Part 3! BTW - orange is a great color on you. Cheers!
Hi Natalie - you did make my day - thanks for the laughs 🤣
How nice
Thanks for watching 😀
Grand demo!
I do miss robins from home, here in the States the robins are bigger less round and the colour leans toward orange.
Cheers...Freddie
The Tuesday evening treat again ... thanks Sarah
Awww thanks Joyce 😊. Thanks for tuning in again 🙏
Thank you for sharing such a detailed demo on creating a bird. This has inspired me to give it a try! Enjoy and always learn such valuable skills. Thank you for sharing your wealth of skill and knowledge with the world…
Thanks for watching Janette. So pleased you're going to make your own. A really lovely easy project. 😁
One of my favorites of your tutorials. Your pacing is excellent and your talent is appreciated.
Thanks so much Bonnie. Great to have your feedback. Thanks for watching 😀
Genius tail-attaching method 💡. Belt and braces!
Absolutely- usually the bit that falls off so a good attachment is always needed here. Thanks for watching again Barbara- hope you've noticed I'm still being kind to the kiln props 😁
@@thepotterycorner oh yes! I’m noticing! 👍it makes me giggle and I feel famous 🤪❤️
Super! Merci :-)🐥
Thanks for watching - great to have you along. 😀
The tool that is your favorite is my favorite for joining pieces as well. I love it.
Declaration sisters! How funny 😆
Such an exciting project. The little snail is so cute. Cant wait to give this ago.
Hi Laurie and thanks for watching. Great that you're going to make your own- I just love that. ❤
You are a fabulous instructor. Love your birds. If I lived in the UK I would love to take your classes!
Thanks for watching Marie and for your kind words 😁
They look great on the leaf. Thanks so much.
Thanks for watching again Mary. 🙂
👍🏼😍lovely birds!!
Thanks Helena- great to hear from you again 😊
Thank you, very informative 👍🏻
Thanks for watching Jennifer. Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Really enjoyed the video, many thanks.🥰
Thanks for watching. Great to have you along 😀
Thank you for this. I'm going to try making a bird at my pottery class tomorrow. I I'd like to make a robin as a gift ❤️
Great idea- thanks for watching. Pleased you're going to make one. I hope you enjoy the project. 😄
Can you wrap them in aluminum foil to make bodies, and then fire in kiln? Great vids, I am a freshy at pottery and liking your vids thanks so much for sharing your talent with the world 😊
Hey and thanks for watching. I don't like using anything such as foil or paper in my kiln. It really isn't good for the kiln and the fumes when firing would be a problem so, no, I would always make the birds hollow using this method. Really hope you have a go at this project. Thanks for your kind words 😊
@thepotterycorner thanks so much for the input.
Thank you for your tutorial videos Sarah! You are so easy to follow🥰😊🥰 which type of Clay are you using for the birds ans birdbath? Is it stoneware or earthenware?
Hi Gina and thanks for watching and commenting. The bird baths are made from Craft Crank clay which is a heavily grogged stoneware first to 1230 degrees centigrade. This clay is able to stay outside in the garden all year round without problems. Hope that helps.
@@thepotterycorner yes and Thank you for getting back to me Sarah!🥰 I am not so experienced and I knew stoneware can stay outside all year, so my Birdbath will have to be the same. 😊 have a great day❤️
What is the surface that you work on?
Hi Nancy and thanks for watching. My studio work table is just extra large kitchen worktop (in three pieces joined together) from IKEA. Really easy to clean. 😁
@@thepotterycorner thanks. Love your videos and you. Great job and presence
