This video gave me really chill, almost ASMR vibes. Very mesmerizing. I appreciate you sharing the process of making this and your honesty about it being a learning process! 😊
Wow, wow, wow. Just watching and I'm nervous. I feel your creativity and wanting to produce a beautiful piece. I write so it's easy for me to correct 'mistakes. Your work is beautiful. Being nervous, apprehensive although a crap feeling brings out the best. Bish x
Haha listen that’s how I felt through making the jar and then editing the vid! It was 2 hours of footage and it all had me on edge. I’m glad you found it rewarding like I did too :)
@@MaeCeramics I've watched many of your episodes now. I admire your apprehension. The Moon bowls!! The fact you have the knowledge, ability, skill. I feel your 'how is this going to turn out?'
Awesome description, I’m going to try doing that, ty so much. Can you try to throw porcelain moons in one piece? And, please get a bay system, it avoids having to recentre
Honestly I’ve not worked with porcelain since this video! I have made small moon jars with porcelain in one piece but not big. It’s possible - but not for me without a lot more practice!
If I was doing that I would invest in various high grit EDM stones. They're small and come in lots of different shapes I'm not a potter, but I do sharpen lots of weird things :P
Hi Lily beautiful work as usual! I have a question! I notice you are left handed like me and throw right handed and alternate your hands when trimming depending what you are doing - like smoothing with a rib - right hand but trimming foot and rim left handed, again as I do? People have suggested I change the wheel to run clockwise and trim from the left side which I have tried but invariably I get confused and make a mess if I don’t concentrate fully. I am an intermediate potter and when I was taught many years ago the wheel only went one way and so I had to learn to throw with the wheel going anti clockwise but always have had problems with trimming and look very awkward doing it as I can’t use trimming tools with my right hand. Have you any tips re this that you have found to compensate using both hands? Thanks Lily.
Oh god I had the same thing when I was learning, and once I had learnt anticlockwise I couldn’t do it the other way. I think it’s just practice - for detail work I have to use my left hand, but for general smoothing or just taking loads of clay away I can use my right hand. I think it’s a skill that you can just teach yourself - I think of it as like playing the piano, you need to use two hands and be a bit ambidextrous, even if one side is prominent. Stick at it, it maybe just takes a little bit longer to learn than a right handed person but you are fully capable:)
@@MaeCeramics thanks for the reassurance and it was really comforting to see someone else doing what I do and showing it on You Tube so now I really don’t feel such a klutz! Love your style of presenting- you remind me of my daughter in law- beautiful!

Loved seeing this from the maker's perspective. Definitely going to add moonjars to my project list.
Thanks so much for showing off the process, these are beautiful.
Thank you for this wonderful video! Your work is so refined and gorgeous!
I stopped breathing there for a couple of times! :) Beautiful work! Love it!

I think you might find a large benefit in getting a porcelain sponge. Those yellow sponges are very harsh for Porcelain.
Great tip - thanks!
Well done. Please do share the fully fired pieces.
Great video and nicely done tutorial. Great piece also. You have sucked me in. I am hooked.
Welcome :)

Love your videos, very instructive and chill 😊 I have a cuestion: how do you keep your trimming tools sharp? Mine are a mess. Thank you!
I just use them as they are! I don’t sharpen them

That’s beautiful! Good job😍
How much porcelain did you use to make it?
From memory they were around 1.5kg of clay per bowl I think!
@@MaeCeramics thank you 🤍🤍
Lovely! How many pounds were each half?
what is a moon jar
What she has just made!
It’s a round jar with two hemispheres that looks like a moon. Watch the vid to see
