I've been waiting a long time to slowly accumulate the footage for this video. It's another long one and it shows how I make a stoneware mug from beginning to end. I probably missed a lot in the video information wise so if there's anything else you'd like to know, please do leave it as a question in the comments and I'll do my best to reply.

I oddly find the narrated version more relaxing to listen to than the ASMR version. Lovely job on the narration.

Your videos are so incredible. I've watched through your beginners series twice now. I recently took a few private pottery classes at a local studio but at the final stage (glazing), they somehow lost my pieces. I was devastated! Watching your videos has made me feel excited to try again. I love how thorough you are and how much time you put into making these educational videos. Thank you!!!

This is so beautifully specific. The detailed tips like using the glaze lid to prevent spillage and using your fingertips to desharpen the edges after shaping make me emotional with their elegance. Not a potter at all but I'm planning to make a mug for my partner's birthday at a local pottery class and this will help immensely with making it a gift that's at least likeable if not actually practical.

Your glazes are stunning, and the forms have such clean and simple lines.Very inspiring! Thank you for taking the time to make this video; it was a positive joy!

Hello from Oregon! with our current conditions (40ish centigrade from noon until early evening, 30% humidity) mugs that size would be bone dry in 1-2 hours. I was amazed you had a batch that size and were able to attach all the handles without a bunch of plastic bags, even with your incredible speed. What is your humidity/temperature in the studio where/when you shot this? also, your name keeps coming up on r/pottery reddit as the man with the youtube videos for "remote learners" to level up. I've personally hugely benefited from your content. Thank you!

Thank you for another wonderful video! If you have time to answer, why do you soak at top temp? The reason I ask, I run a small clay studio and we have had trouble with bloating lately (since beginning to use darker bodied clays). I’ve read that it has everything to do with oxygen availability during bisque firing. So now I loosely pack the kiln and leave all the peep holes open but it seems so inefficient. I could give you more details but I just wonder if this soak is for that purpose or some other. Curious to know either way.
