    I turned dirt into a clay sculpture. This dirt is stolen British land from Colin Furze's famous tunnels! Can I fire it into a ceramic sculpture without it crumbling or melting? I want to sculpt the most British thing possible from my British land so I after I processed the wild clay and made a King's Guard figure (Little Ben!) I also make a teacup... made of British soil! But it's quite the struggle so I have to do a resin pour to make my dream come true of escaping to foreign soil -- embedded in a stool! -- for the most British cup of tea ever.
    Thanks to Sooki Studio for dealing with my mess!

    I'm a Brit and I have to tell you, that this is the single most impressive thing I have ever seen anyone do with dirt, and British dirt at that! You are so talented! You never gave up, even after the cup fell apart you still went through with it and put Little Ben in the kiln! You are an absolute legend! Putting him and the stones into a cute diorama under a clear cover was great fun and it came out perfectly. He will be a talking point for visitors for years to come. I absolutely love him, he's perfect! Thank you for this video, it made my day. Now I'm off to make myself a nice cuppa tea! Have a great weekend!
