HELLO and WELCOME :)
My name is Mary and I am painter/fiber artist/ ceramicist living in California. I teach at a non-profit and this channel highlights different projects, vlogs and experiments I am trying both in the studio and at home (often with my 2 yr old). My husband John will make an appearance in the occasional travel vlog or art outing and perhaps at some point we will have a studio visit with him in his wood shop.

This was super cool! Thanks so much for sharing this with us.💫💜
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching :)
Schöne Objekte, sehr natürlich und interessant. 😍Thanks for sharing.
I love this!
Ok, I had to find this book since I first became interested in pottery in the late 70’s. A potter gave me a gift of a bowl and cup as a thank you for taking care of his child in IICU (I was a nurse back then). I still have the cup and bowl. I decided that one day I would learn how to make my own pottery. It took 30 years before I was able to take a class but now I do have a studio and make pottery. I just had to find the book because it instantly transported me back to those days of rough, textural, experimental pottery that was popular then. The book arrived today so I can’t wait to find just the right rock somewhere in my yard. 😁
Yes! The 1970's ceramic style was so raw, rough and experimental. I find inspiration in all of the risk taking. That's great that you found the book! Enjoy.
I learned this skill ages ago - it must have been 1970. I loved the method then, and it has stuck with me over the long hiatus in my ceramics life, until I recently resumed doing pottery after my retirement. I have demonstrated this method in several different studios, but no one has seen fit to try doing it!
To me, the most challenging part is finding a good rock. There are several spots I know along the coast of Maine where I have found beautiful smoothly rounded stones.
I’ve never wanted to add any spouts to the hole. Are usually make the hole 1 to 2 cm in diameter, and I have no problem finding flowers, adding, or draining water.
I’m glad to see you teaching it, and thanks for your video!
Love this way of creating an organic form!
Glad you like it!
Thanks a lot for your fun attitude, you’re beautiful ❤🤗
Psychedelic man.
I love this!! Great project
Love it! So funny and yo are inspiration.
I have looked at a potato 🥔 form to my next exhibition here in August and this is fantastic way to do that easy.
Wonderful! Love the idea of a potato! Brilliant!
I thoroughly enjoyed your little adventure here! The work reminds me of Japanese ikebana (flowering arranging) vessels, very organic and complimentary to plants and flowers. Yeah, just cut a hole and make it into a vase, duh. Also, I was chuckling my way through this video while listening to the throw-back to the 70's music, very funny! Thanks so much!
So great decision to make larger hole for vase! The first vase I made years ago was an open dish with build in frogs (flower supports) but I did not account for shrinkage. By the time it was fired I realized there was no flower stem that would be able to fit in the supports. Beautiful bowl but it was not functional.☹️

Thanks!
Definitly trying this out! I am new to ceramics and my "ideas" are based on things I actually need, so I was looking to make organic round vase with multiple holes for plant propagation🪴
BUT I didn't even know how to start, the idea to use a large rock saved my original idea and it looks sooo cool. Thanks so much for the inspiration and I hope mine will even turn out half as good as yours! Your videos will definitely play on my laptop while I work on it, love all the advice I got from you. THANKs so much! 🌻
Wonderful! I love the idea of a plant propagation pot. Such a clever idea!! So glad I could help with a little problem solving ;-) Thanks so much for watching
I love this idea! I'm a beginner and looking to make pieces that I can use and or gift. Thank you for the inspiration. 💐
So glad you enjoyed it :)
Great idea, am going to try them. How did you finish them? Glaze?
Yes. Glazed all 3! Will have to pop out a video showing how they turned out ;-)
@@marbarchi Thanks for 😇🙏
Soooo whats the purpose of not cleaning, washing, scrubbing the rocks so dirt n residue doesnt stick to clay for a cleaner look n sculpture???
Hmm.. totally a personal choice. Since the clay that is being pressed against the rock will be on the inside it most likely would not be that noticeable. Also, I think the rock aesthetic tends to be more authentic without washing. But the beauty in making your own art is that so many options are left up to the artist themself. So if cleaning, washing, or scrubbing rocks is your jam, that may be a great option :)
Hello dear, thanks for sharing! What clay did you use, May I ask. Thank you
Hi! I don't remember the exact name, but I believe it was a terra cotta from Laguna Clay in L.A.. Thanks for watching!
@@marbarchi thank you! I’ve tried this too! A fun process
