I am in awe of your creativity and skill to make these artistic ceramic pieces. I am currently retired and taking a clay class. I don't think I will live long enough to ever make anything as lovely as yours. I am learning so much from your videos and methods. Thank you.
Hi Jsh. Im sure you can do this. Give it a try. Thank you for watching and it is never too late to start pottery. I started when i was over 40. Good luck in your class.
All your videos are wonderfully useful, you literally have the best channel about ceramics on RUclips. I watch regularly, thank you for sharing. Wish you all the best!
Thank you - I have always hated hand building because it was so tedious, but wanted to make some bee themed mugs with a rolling pin I got. I am going to try these methods of doing it which seem easier than what I was taught.
Since I exclusively hand build, this video was right up my alley! I absolutely love the texture on the first mug but, I don't have anyone handy like Jim to make that dowel stamp. You should ask him to make and sell them to those of us who aren't lucky enough to have a Jim around. Thank you for another wonderful video and more great ideas!!
Wow! That was magnificent and inspiring. Thank you for sharing your ideas. I especially loved the second mug even though the other two ideas were just as good. Lots of food for thought.
Lol, Ann, thank you for showing the hand rolling coil technique, but I TOTALLY would have busted out the extruder for THAT flower mug job! (which turned out really neat.) Doming the bottom of a hand built mug outward isn't something I've thought of. I enjoy the look.
Hey Em. The extruder will work too and it will definitely give you a much more symmetrical piece, but it does limit the width of your mug, right. This way, you can stretch it to the size you want. Besides, I dont have an extruder, haha. Im glad you like the domed out bottom. I think it helps with keeping the mug from warping as much. Not totally, but it does help, Thanks as always for watching Em!
@@annruel1982 lol oh sorry! I meant the small coil rolling where you made a snake and made a flower and designs. So I meant the little hand extruder where you are typically making colored 'hair' to roll into your white clay, not those massive wall mount jobs...
@@embee7434 Oh, I gotcha Em. Actually, Jim asked me about that too. l love the little extruder to make the snakes, but these coils didnt need to be exact or totally the same width and honestly, I could roll them faster myself then having to crank those babies out, haha. It just made sense for me, but you certainly could use an extruder for that. Great thinking!!
I'm no potter by any stretch, but I do have ideas. On the faux thrown mug, once you get to the larger pins, you could use your wooden rulers on either side as a thickness guide to ensure even thickness all the way around. That said, you do beautiful work Ann. ❤
HI Thomas. Actually when I was younger quilling was the big thing. I have done a lot of that in the past. I used to do it on wedding invitations as gifts. That really takes me back. Thanks for the memories.
Wow, Rooster!! Thanks so much for your support. Jim and I really appreciate it. That makes you one of the newest members of our Little Street Pottery Research Facility Team, so keep an eye on our future videos where we will welcome you to the team and Jim will give you your own unique title. it is just a bit of fun to say thank you.
Your videos and ideas are fabulous! Thank you for generously sharing your knowledge. One question: how dry is your clay when you stand it up to join seams?
I typically use the 11.7" X 3.74" cones - but sometimes cut bigger ones down to the size I need. I keep a variety. You can use the size you would like your mug to be. Thanks!

Oh great Sara. 🙂Give these a go. Thanks so much for watching.,

Hi Denny. I am so happy that you liked the video. I can ask Jim if he would make a few of the stamps to sell. Do you think people would want them?
@@annruel1982 Absolutely! I am sure I would want one!
Oooh, can't wait to try the coils!
Oh good Jill. Im glad you found a little inspiration in the video. thanks for watching. Good luck!!
Sometimes I think you're reading my mind when planning your videos 😊
Haha. You know what they say, that great minds think alike. Thanks for watching, Shasa!
Those are beautiful. So creative.
Hey Kasper! Thanks so much!! That is so kind of you.
What great ideas. I love what you come up with, and your instructions make it so easy to follow. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Betsy. Thanks so much for watching. Im so glad you like our little tutorials.
I love all of these , definitely going to try a version of first two as those round bottoms❤❤
Hi Elizabeth. Yeah!! Go for it. All of these were a lot of fun for sure. Thanks for watching!
Thank you Ann, you give me so much inspiration ❤
Hi Shirin. You are so sweet. thanks so much. Im glad you are enjoying our videos. thanks for watching.
Love the texture
Hey Denise. Thanks so much. Jim carved that dowel rod for me. I love that you can see the wood texture along the sides.
Watching gived a very Zen like feeling, I hear your words when I try your methods. Thank you so so much.
I love your videos. I needed a little motivation to get back into the studio. Thank you for sharing.
Love them all!🩵
Hi Pegeen. thanks so much. Jim and I appreciate you watching our videos. Happy potting to you.
Anne, you make it all look so easy ❤

@@annruel1982 that makes sense. Mine is a 'push' model. No cranking just a push, and I can definitely do that faster than rolling!
@@embee7434 Oh with the plunger. I can see that would be faster, haha. Definitely a better choice for this project. Give it a go!
Beautiful.
Aw...thanks so much!! Jim and i appreciate you watching.
Thank you for the great and easy-to-follow tutorial, and for the template
❤Where do you find the template?
Great video! Thank you for such detail!

That said, you do beautiful work Ann. ❤
Great idea!!
The technique you are using reminds me of "quilling" which is done with paper coils.
HI Thomas. Actually when I was younger quilling was the big thing. I have done a lot of that in the past. I used to do it on wedding invitations as gifts. That really takes me back. Thanks for the memories.
Geeeze you’re good!
Wow thanks 🥰
My pleasure. thanks for watching.

I can’t find your pattern using the link you shared. Please help
Hey NHB. Jim put it in the description section under the video. Thanks so much for watching!! Good luck with your mug!!
stamped/quilted
Thank you so much for sharing these techniques! What size template & foam cone did you use?
I typically use the 11.7" X 3.74" cones - but sometimes cut bigger ones down to the size I need. I keep a variety. You can use the size you would like your mug to be. Thanks!
Where did you get the beveling tool you used to cut the edge diagonally
Link in description...Thanks.
What type of clay are you using here? Thank you!
Hi Desti. I use Standard brand English Porcelain 365. It is a great clay for what I do but it is also very finicky.
@@annruel1982 Thank you!
@@destiknit You are welcome. 🙂
say " I ribbed it with a wet rubber rib" 3 times... it is a tongue twister lol
Thanks!
Thank you so much for your support Emily! We really appreciate it - welcome to the LSP Team!!
