If you watched my video a couple weeks ago, I explored a couple new plate designs. Now, let's take my favorite plate and turn it into a collection!

I appreciate so much that you didn't edit out the flops. If things can go wrong for someone as experienced as you, it makes me feel better when things go wrong for me.
And for what it's worth, I think the unplanned color is lovely!
thank you! ❤️ it still feels so vulnerable to share that stuff. but it happens to all of us! 😂
I loved this video so much. I would love to see future collection drop process videos! As a perfectionist and fellow ceramicist I feel like everything needs to be perfect to be launched or shared with the world. Your can-do attitude, simple approach, and tailored vision is so admirable and inspires me to just share my love of pottery with the world. Thank you for what you do! ❤
The Green Ones are my favorite! 🙈💖
Me too!
whattt? thats crazy 😂 maybe I’m just fixated on the expectation of blue
@@PotterytothePeople Even if they have pinholes Id still use these just as pretty decorative display bowls. They turned out amazing and the deep teal/green actually matches some other planter pots I have!
I think they look a bit more neutral which is what I would want from a plate. The blue is beautiful but would look too busy with food on it.
I like the green ones too. I’d go ahead and sell them. I bet a lot of people would like that color.
I was so glad you put pears in them in your photo shoot. As soon as I saw the finished products, I thought they’d make perfect fruit bowls.
right?? All i thought was: pears would look perfect 😂
As an artist, I don't mark anything as trash. What you or I view as trash, someone else might love. While, yes, some of them aren't food safe, it doesn't mean they don't fit other purposes - like decorative bowls, or as saucers for plant pots, or entry way bowls to drop keys and change. Personally, I find that the paintings I like the least are the first to sell! So it's worth it even if you don't personally like it.
That marbling on the bottom of the reclaimed clay was stunning.
I loved this video and your commentary on going back to basics.
I LOVE production videos like this as someone who is newer to production style pottery. All the planning insight is helpful!
I was a student aide for my art teacher in high school, and she had a reclaiming machine that was really fun to use. Every day I just made clay; it was awesome
Yesss. Loved this. More production making for sale videos please including how you price each piece. Thank you ❤
The plate your 'mass producing' was one of my favourite shapes you did originally, the green.?? That snuck in somehow and the 'warts', great name not seen that before, clay has lots of mysteries, sadly unfolding in this video, hope yours sale goes OK, onward and upward, I think they say, thankyou for sharing your experience with us xx😮😊
You are so amazing! Thank you for sharing the your process in real context. You are honest and it’s a treat! ❤
Thank you! I love seeing honest process videos!
I actually love all the imperfections. It makes everything so special and unique.
Really enjoyed this especially your honesty regarding the less than perfect plates!
Such a great video! Love learning from you! Thank you for your videos.
Love this video. It simply shows not everything can be perfect but you can still learn from failures. Love these plates.
Nice photos. You bring good reality to the videos. I appreciate that aspect.
The green ones are so nice!!
I really enjoyed watching you enjoy yourself, doing something you love. It’s been way too long since I painted anything (I like making toys from common objects). So I’m 💯 behind this idea of you getting your hands in clay again ❤
Love this concept. Do more!
Honestly this video was so helpful. I appreciate your honesty about your process and the mistakes and kiln god unblessings. I sometimes get so frustrated with these kinds of things going wrong and feel discouraged to go on. Feeling not alone , even in the experience of a teacher and long-term potter, is helpful!!
Thank you for this video. Showing the reality of production.
Ive always loved your videos ( especially COVID hand-building) and would watch definitely watch production throwing or anything you make
I love this type of video, you should definitely keep making them! (In my opinion 🤩)
The green is pretty!
I love the white!
Loved this video, would love to see more
This was a video I really liked. I think not all the time but nice change in content. Yes, please do more videos like this one.
I would definitely watch more of the logistics side of things!
I hate it when the kiln gods are in a bad mood, especially with glaze firings. I had a whole bunch of cups and bowls for my uni ceramics class that all had crawling and none of the pieces ever survive without pinholes! I'm missing that class so much now that the semester's over so I'm thankful for your content!
More of these please!
thanks for watching ! 💙
I like it! Thanks for sharing!
hello ! i love the video and the plates. I think yellow and green color could look good too! I love the pears and the photo shooting !
I know how it feels! What did work looks great!❤
Yay! Thank you!
I love this video consept 🎉
Yay! I now have a blue plate on its way to Massachusetts!
thank you!! 💙 I hope you love it!
Um... I may be dumb, but you mention that you run a second RUclips Channel. Is it also Pottery/Ceramic based content?
Mia, I absolutely love this shape for plates, wish I had a budget for fun things right now!! Maybe they'll make another appearance at a later date? Also loved the video, it must be frustrating when things go wrong like that but makes the video 'whole' to show them nonetheless! And even underlines all the hard work and experience that goes into ceramics.
thanks for watching and your kind words! 💙
For pinholing: I warm up the piece in the microwave, paint it over with the glaze and refire. It usually does the trick. Does anyone have any other ideas? ❤
I 💚 the green ... 😊
Wooo-wee, thank you, thank you, thank you for such a candid, honest representation of what a pottery career can look like. This is the kind of content we all need more of!
Hi! First of all I love your videos! Thank you for showing it all as it is. You ,e tio de that you have two RUclips channels, what’s the other one? 😊
I like this type of video.
I actually really like the green pots! It's a shame about the pinholes though.
You should be able to bisque fire all the plates at once by stacking them. They won't stick to each other.
I don’t think I ever realized how small your kiln is ! Definitely a problem. Trying to have small things to fire so you take up all the room in the kiln you can is always good. Little kiln fillers. I love the way these turned out, the ones that did turn out anyway. May I ask what you do with pieces that are food safe but not quite right enough to sell? I have so many pieces that I just don’t know what to do with. Can NOT WAIT TO SEE WHAT YOU DO WITH YOUR SHARDS!! I just finished watching photographing over 200 pieces!!! The electricity went out so I was completely dependent on the sun and it was crazy!! I really wish that I’d seen this before photographing all day!!!
The new sky blue is beautiful and perfect for spring and summer. I love the whimsical shape of the plates, too. Question: have you ever experimented with one of those little microwave kilns?
thank you! I have not but i might look into it for some experimenting! 🤓
Yes yes yes!!
I’m enjoying the video a lot. Do you grind down the pinholes prior to reglazing? I get pinholes n certain glazes in my old Cress Kiln and never sure why. I hate wasting my pottery, so I try to redo, reglaze, embellish, etc., but it doesn’t always work and yes, I waste a lot of time, but I figure it’s worth the experimentation. Thanks for the accessibility and casual nature of your videos.
Curious, do you consider doing a mold for your plates?
Yellow, Red and Blue. We could mix and match.
How do you keep the skin of hands healthy? When ever I work with clay and glazes mine get so dry, especially around the nail beds, even though I’m doing my best to clean it all off and moisturize afterwards. Do you have any tips and tricks I might try?
yea, making plates is fun. bisque firing is also not that bad, they stack wherever. Glazed plates however... you either need a massive kiln , or you fire a-lot....
yes 😅 i really learned my lesson 🤣
So, I don't mean to be rude...but are you guys in the family way? Just got a feeling...Weird, I know! Loooove these plates....I'd use the seconds under plants for drain dishes :)
Hi! love your videos! 🫠 I have a problem with the same clay you use. Boesner 101 (terra)... My things after firing leave a lot of micro cracks... I have done so many tests... but nothing helps. Can You help me? I saw you use white glaze, what is it called? Maybe I can save some of my pieces... Any help appreciated 😢
Ok, I don't see wrong color as an issue unless you are selling as a set. Have you tried sanding down the kiln wash on the bottom of the plate? I'm curious because I have heard of people doing it and things turn out fine but that's also a , your mileage may vary thing.
Please where can you buy these bats
Do you take the bat pins out of your wheel head everyday?
I know next to nothing about pottery, but is there any way to like power sand the bad glaze off, reglaze it again, and give it a second go? Or maybe just glaze over the old glaze and try again?
And for the “pinholes” can you use a sharp, hard tool to chip off the glaze around the hole, apply more glaze, and refire?
I really want to get try and get into pottery as a pass time. I've been watching many videos and am trying to look for a cheap but still good wheel + a good clay to use. If anyone could offer me any guidance it would be greatly appreciated.
What are your bats made of?
Wait, so do you not wire them immediately and only wire them once they're closer to leatherhard?
Haha, nevermind, I kept watching. That will help me with my work, I'll just leave my work on the bat for a day before wiring it off.
❤
That sky blue is gorgeous! You said you have another YT channel? About pottery or?
yes it’s @potterytemplates! Its all demos of the templates that I make :)
@@PotterytothePeople Thank you!
Do you ship to Switzerland?
yes worldwide shipping!
I personally cannot make repeated pottery I tried that and got burnt out so fast. However I can make similar themes. I personally prefer my one off creations.
yess same this is why i dont (usually) do it either. I lose passion for the design real quick lol
@@PotterytothePeople I now tell my customers what the see is what is available as I do not make many repeated items and the only repeated item I make are my ghosts. But love your work keep up the awesome work.
Im always surprised how others like the colors i do not. So dont toss the ones u dont like because of color. Someone will love them.
I will probably donate them i think! They at least escape the smash bucket ☺️
NOW ITS SOUP 😭😭
I know you don’t like the green ones. However you did think about adding a green and decided against it. And the kiln gods disagreed!
I think so painfull to see The pieces being reclaimed hahaha But nothing worst then a bad kiln day
🐨👍
They look lovely. It sucks that you aren't happy with all of them.
thank you ❤️
19:01 I quite disagree with your conclusion 😅
I don't personally think that being so hasty with a production batch is a good idea.
I think production only works if you use clay you're very familiar with and glazes that the behaviour of which is verified and predictable for you, on that specific clay body. production isn't about experimenting and wishing for good luck and you wouldn't have nearly as many faulty pieces, if you weren't so 'brave'.
don't get me wrong, I'm not against being brave. but maybe keep your experiments for a one off test, which you might later use as a base for a repetitive production batch. in which the exact same steps are followed, to avoid wasting your materials, your (and the grid's) energy, and ultimately getting yourself bankrupt 😅
yes I really learned a lesson with this one 😂😂
White is not my choice, to be honest to me it is to boring with your design (don't ment to be mean). To me al the imperfection is art, I don't need a perfect hand made bowl. And the greenish brown ones have an interesting color, imo. I wish, you would be brave to be more experimental with the glaces what happens, if you sprinkle white or light blue or pink on to the dark bowles and fire them again? I know it is a pricy experiment, but it can't go wrong, right? What ever comes out is fine, if you don't like the outcome already. I think "trash" is only when they are really unusable!

👏👏👏❤️🩵💙👍...
