This is by far the best pinch pot / hand building tutorial I’ve seen, the others were informative but the pieces they made were very traditional and old fashioned so not very inspiring...Thank you so much! I’d love to see how you finish off and also the pot with the lid. I’m sharing this with friends who I did a ceramics tutorial with, we’re based in Barcelona from all different places (UK, Spain, Hungary and Argentina) so you have an international following :)

5 thumbs down? What's wrong with people?! This was by far the best video on the subject I've come across, packed with "how to" tips and mesmerising to watch a journey of a slab of clay turning into a beautiful object. Thank you 🌹

Hi Gina, thanks so much for your video, its really helpful for a beginner like me. One question: do you have a tip for people with small hands? I struggle to reach into the bottom of the pot, to pinch when its too thick. If anyone else has tips that'd be great too thanks. PS Love your pots in the background :-)

I would think so- if the clay isn’t too wet to begin with and doesn’t dry out too fast! Not water resistant or waterproof unless you seal it and not food safe.

Hi Darlings Awesome Video, love loved it !! thank you !! Are these vases water tight after the first fire? if they are not glazed ? excited to tune in to your other vids x

@ginazycher 3 жыл бұрын

Hi KJ! Anything made out of clay needs to be fired to the temperature it's designed to vitrify at (different clays are formulated for different temps) and glazed to be water tight. If you like the unglazed look you can just apply glaze to the inside and leave the outside unglazed.

@forestgrace9513 3 жыл бұрын

I would like to see how you add sculpted texture to the vase. What tools you use and at what point in the drying would you begin to add the texture. Thank you.
