You made me laugh when you said pottery can't have to many boards... so true! thanks you so much for all you share!

You are an amazing artist Mr Vaughn Smith🙏🏼

Thank you Vaughan. This morning you inspired me to make some small slab textured dishes, while I was waiting for customers in my open gallery 😊

Vaughan, your kerchief bowls are spectacular! I agree, one thing that attracts me to ceramics is the infinite variety of projects and techniques. I could do this for 100 years and still be learning and trying new things. Well done, and thank you for the tutorial!

Thank you for addressing the purple one. I was going to ask that question because I have all four of those books. 😎

Beautiful yalls work is always beautiful. Thank you for sharing

🤩🤩🤩😍😍😍 woderful pieces!

I jumped to catch the slab at 51.30 Haha - that would be a neat trick from PA. I love these and will be back at it next week.

I made little trays like that and my son used one for guitar pics. I use one for hair clips and tooth picks.

thanks Vaughn that was very enjoyable!

My wife and I always love watching you work, and your approach to design and building. It's such a pleasure. And then your finished pieces are, well, just breathtaking!

Vaughan...you have just such amazing artistry! Im so inspired by your work . Thank You (and your Mrs. as well ;-))

Such beautiful work of art!

Oh My Goodness! I’d that an old pastry or noodle sheeter! Great thing. I bet it weighs a ton! next time when you attach the foot, try adding a very thin roll of clay between the two. Then you wouldn’t have lost that lovely extra rim. Also, the big one that you took the wrap off before you put it on the bowl, that white bucket on your table…..perfect matchup. Another bowl, but a different bottom. You could even make a rectangular slab base!

I love a bit of he handbuilding❤ Great ideas, the floppy bowls were magnificent!!!

Why? Why I ask. Why did you have to touch me in my heart? Why did you have to be so generous with your knowledge and skills? Why did you have to come into my life and give me hope to create? You ate such a kind man to be so giving. I can't afford a lot of what is needed, nor do I have the knowledge how, but you sure made my mind think. Where it will lead me I don't know but I am absolutely greatful to continue forward in knowing you. There's a lot to read into this comment but as long as you understand it that's really all that matters to me...

So beautiful! What a pleasure to watch a master at work.

I made a flair bowl following your instructions. A a novice hand builder, I am thrilled with the result. I glazed it with a seashell motif glaze adding a coil foot . Stunning. It holds so much. Thank you for your inspiration

Thanks Vaughan I’m just taking a hand building classes right now so perfect timing!! 😊. But those bowls! Wow amazing colors spectacular and you make it look so easy…..

Simply beautiful work! Thanks for sharing. Now I have to try it!

Oh my! I just found this network...and wowie! These are the most beautiful bowls I've ever seen--I'm gobsmacked. Thank you, Vaughn Smith, for creating beauty.

I noticed this morning that KZfaq have put ads during my video. Is that just when I watch my video or does everyone get this? I have deliberately not monetized the channel to prevent these annoying ads appearing during my videos. Of course I do not read the terms of conditions so may be that is just the cost of downloading videos, nothing is free in life. Apologies for the annoying ads.

So pretty and good job!

OMGm The "Floppy Bowl" looks like something you would find on the ocean floor! Absolutely GORGEOUS!

Thanks Vaughan for sharing and all the tips! They are very beautiful and original😊

Your slabroller looks like mine - Northstar. Also, I damaged the tendons in my wrist by banging on clay and was laid up for three months while it healed. I since learned to use a mallet instead of my hand! Take care!

Fantástico,maravilloso||gracias por compartirnos tu bello arte❤

Great video Vaughan - absolutely gorgeous ❤

Wow this is the first time I've ever watched anything like this. They're beautiful!!!! I was mesmerized the entire video

I’ve just had a very busy Sunday morning and afterwards I sat for a relaxing hour or so watching your video, this was wonderful, I’m itching to get the clay out and play, so I know what I’ll be doing tomorrow! I’ve made a lot of bowls like the wavy ones before, but you’ve still given me lots of tips and new ideas. Thankyou so much for sharing, a beautiful video!

Thank you for this really helpful and enjoyable video.

Does this clay not have a memory? These are so adorable❤ That giant bowl is fabulous!😊

Me encanto su trabajo, felicidades, deseo ver mas❤

It is wanderful. Thank you. 😊

These are so beautiful. When I first saw them, I thought they were glass. Thank you.

Wonderful!

Beautiful!

So beautiful, thank you for showing

I am a fluid artist and I watch a lot of other artist to learn new techniques etc. Your video played right after something else I was watching, and I was absolutely mesmerized through the entire thing. I can’t wait to watch another of your videos.

Looks like Van Gogh color palette. Thank you for sharing your expertise. Your works are truly magnificent. ❤❤❤

I tried making one based on my memory of this video and it totally failed. Then I made a second one watching your video carefully and it was so much easier. You are an incredible teacher!

Absolutely wonderful! Thank you for sharing this. 😊

Mesmerizing to watch and absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much. Wow

The roller you use is made for going over the seams in wallpaper after you first hang it.

Your videos are fabulous! Thank you for sharing your skill and time 😀

They’re absolutely beautiful!!! I love them.

Those bowls are beautiful!! Both the shape and the color is fantastic. Thank you❤️🤗🐝

I LOVE YOUR ART AND YOUR BEAUTIFUL STUDIO.

You are using all my favourite textures. The Celtic ones. I would love to visit as we may share common ancestors!!,

A thin plastic shower cap would fit well over your bisque bowel.

Absolutely gorgeous work! I am amazed that one person can take a piece of clay and make a masterpiece! Bravo!

Stunning! Thank you for the start to finish process.

Outstanding!!! I loved listening to the music too...Thanks!

Really nice, thank you for showing us...

I was memorized by your hand building techniques. Will be in NS late June maybe be able to see your gallery.

I believe that's a North Star slab roller. It's one of the few brands which adjusts the slab thickness by raising or lowering the roller, rather than having to insert shims in the bed. Great tip on getting square(ish) slabs Can't wait to try it. Those ovals seem to waste a lot space on the ends making me roll more slabs to fit that last piece. Those bowls are just fantastic.

Loved watching your process. Beautiful work!

Thank you for your wonderful video! I've been making large bowls similar to yours since the middle 70's, using lace pressed into the clay with slip painted over it to accentuate the pattern. One difference in technique is that I use pieces of old bed sheets to roll the clay on. It's not so hard to peel the clay off and leaves almost no mark. I can roll out thin enough to move easily. I love the way you glaze these large pots on the inside! I suspend mine on a jar over a large bowl to pour glaze over the outside after dipping the stem in a smaller bowl with glaze in it to glaze the stem. I have always made the stems the day before, but will try making and adding them immediately! That looks interesting!! I tried a slab with stamps, etc., yesterday!! What fun!!!!! Again, thank you for sharing! Ann Sciba

❤very georgious love your work incredible😊 iowa close to the mississippi❤

Gorgeous

BEAUTIFUL

Very kind of you to share your methods and ideas. I am inspired! I teach in a high school and will be sharing many of your techniques with students. Thank you so very much.

Amazing work. Thank you for sharing with us.

Wow! Lov that so much!😊

I love your work, very talented. I really like the draped platters.

Wonderful and informative video. Thanks!

I love what you do... and how you do it. I currently live in an apartment so can't have my kiln right now... but I can' work with other types of clay that don't need one. Watching you make your slabs into beautiful pieces reminded me of collaging papers for my junk journals.... a bit here, another bit there... something else in this spot... oh, that one is a little covered by this one... there's a pretty piece for here. You know?

Absolutely beautiful!!! I am an novice working with clay but the tips you gave are so helpful!! May you have many more years of inspiring others!!!

You sure did such a large number of projects and shared so much with us. I love hand building, along with throwing. These are such fun and inspiring projects. Thank you for sharing. I am anxious to do some of these. I would just be in Heaven with the view outside my window being the ocean. Love your music also.

Wonderfull…I can’t stop watching, awesome

I really love your vessel!! I liked the organic shape, colors and textures! The texture on the inside rim was my favorite part of your piece; simply stunning!!

I love that you showed your glazed and finished pieces in this instructional video. Very well done! THANKS MUCH!! Liked and Subscribed!!

Beautiful

Great videos, hearing you talk or not, is better than music though

I just finished watching you make a lamp base. Have you tried making a Shade to match the base? I really think that would be amazing.😊

I'll be watching. One other thing I do differently is use quilt batting, the soft kind that I can tear up, to stuff the curves after I get the bowl over the drape mold. It's strong enough to hold and, since it's going under the cloth the bowl is draped over, doesn't get dirty, while helping to hold the shape.

Most than pretty nice!!🎉🎉🎉

Nádherné 😲😲😲😲

My first-time watching. Just beautiful!!! Love ❤️ ❤❤

Nidec by Shimpo is my guess for the slab roller. I just picked one up second hand too. This video was my motivation to move on from just wheel throwing. Thank you for the great sharing of your talent! Thought about you during the recent storms Sept 23 and hope you avoided any damage. All The Best from Idaho!

Muito lindo!!!!❤️

Vaughan your tutorial looks very interesting so I've downloaded it so that I can watch it later, I'm not very well at the moment, and I dont want to miss any of it.

Please show the finished pieces of your talented and hard work!

Wow 🎉🎉🎉 . I want to do that

I’m sure there is a Google video you could learn how! You have such a loving following of people.

Molto bello!!!!

Just for information... Those two tools with the handles that you thought might be for wallpaper or plaster (they can be used for the plaster for sure) are also texture tools to add wood grain to things. You lay down a dark colour and let it dry, then lay a light colour over top and drag the tool in one direction, tipping it back and forth as you do, and it puts a nice wood grain down. Then let that dry before varnish or glaze is added. You can also use those pointy parts to drag other patterns onto projects.

Thank you

I want to visit. 😮

I think your little roller is for pressing down the seams on wallpaper

Me gusta lindos❤

Love your videos, have just discovered them, they are so informative and clear. Great ideas, great pottery, thanks so much for sharing. Wondering what you had that large piece of wood on (which the clay slab was laid) and it turned so easily? Thanks so much, M.K.M.

很棒的作品!

nice

Ps. You should have the donate option! I will be happy to donate some $ to your channel.

These are amazing! My question is what keeps them from warping as they dry?

Gorgeous! Do you use pouring glazes for the sponging, and do you use multiple coats?

Is that your Cobalt/Rutile on the exterior? I really like the outcome, 😸, beautiful stuff!

Very informative content! Thank you for your great videos. If I could ask, where do you buy the foam you use for the slump moulds? Thanks

Good Morning from Arizona. Could you tell me please Vaughan, how do I mend small cracks in my pottery that is drying to go in to bisque? Ty, you are great & so VERY talented.
