So many neat ideas here. They all came out looking splendid. It's really hard to pick a favorite, but I think I'm most in awe of the little box shape. Sometimes, the 'simplest' shapes are the hardest, because they are so unforgiving. Everyone knows what a box should be, so the slightest wobble or warp makes it look off. You make it all look so simple, and yet having had my hands in mud for years I KNOW it's not. Very inspirational, Ann. Love your videos.

Hey Em! Im so glad you like them. I hear what you are saying about geometric shapes. They re very difficult to get straight for sure and take some patience. thanks as always for your support !

I have to tell you how much your videos mean to me. First of all, your projects are so much more elegant than what I usually see. I love that you use porcelain. I’ve had quite a bit of experience with porcelain molded pcs. but very little with with hand building. It’s such an inclusive method. I just bought a potter’s wheel, took a beginner’s class and I learned that I needed a lot more practice. Because I did some china painting, I’m curious how they will work.

Love the video! Mulberry leaves work great as leaf templates too. That's what I use usually.

@annruel1982 7 ай бұрын

Hi Doglover. Actually, the leaf we are using in the video might be a black mulberry leaf. Jim and I have been trying to figure out what kind of leaves those are in the backyard. We found on line that the basswood leaves that seem to be prominent in this area and figured that they had the same jagged edges, but I just looked up the Mulberry leaf and that fits the description too. Do your leaves look like the one we are using? You may have solved our mystery!!

I love these!! Especially the candleholder and the leaf vase. What if you turned the leaves up and down and formed them around the pvc pipe. Then the tips could roll back gracefully on each side at the top? Just a thought… it’s beautiful the way it is.❤️🐝🤗

@annruel1982 7 ай бұрын

Hey Deborah! Love that. When I was playing with this idea, I was actually turning those leaf pattern pieces in different directions trying to figure out what I liked the best. I found that there are many different options but I had to choose just one, haha. I think. you should go for it. Im sure it would be just as beautiful!! Great idea that you have about the tips being rolled back. I hadnt thought of that. Very creative.

Hi Meisme. I went back and looked at the video as I am having trouble recalling a blue tool. I did use a red rubber kidney shaped rib to do some of the smoothing. Could that be the tool you are referring to? Jim has some listed in the description section under the video for you 🙂

Hi Maggie. Welcome ! Im glad you found our videos. I do a LOT of painting on pottery. I hand draw my imagery and then use underglazes to paint them. I actually have a workshop series separate from these videos that are about 1 1/2 hours long to walk people through my process. I provide templates so no one has to feel intimidated to paint. Look in the description section under this video and you will find it. Good luck! 🙂

Hi BZ. I know I hate that. I recycle the plastic wrap and have a big stash of it to use on my projects. Of course when we are videotaping I use clean sheets so you can see through it. But I havent found anything better that works for this purpose. What do you suggest?

@bz6175 8 ай бұрын

@@annruel1982 Thank you for your answer. I dont know what to use because I do the pottery as hobby here in Berlin, Germany. Maybe a thin cotton cloth? I would like to see your recycled plastic wrap. I think it's not so important to see all details because the result is more important. I love what you do and wait for your videos every saturday.

@annruel1982 8 ай бұрын

@@bz6175 I hear you. The thing is that people who are trying to make these projects actually do want to see the details and I feel I need to include that. Im sure if I didnt, I would get more comments from people who complain about not being able to see what is going on, haha. I have tried the thin cotton cloth, but it leaves unwanted texture in the clay plus it doesnt quite have the stretch that the plastic has. Another plus about the plastic is that it has the see through factor that is important if you are trying not to overlap things, or if you need straight lines or if you are trying to minimize waste of your slabs etc. You would think that pottery would be more environmentally friendly but in reality, we have to dig up the clay and elements for the glazes from the earth, we store our clay in plastic, we burn wood for wood kilns, we use electricity for. our kilns. 😞

@JohnLowes 7 ай бұрын

@@bz6175 Like most other potters, I use plastic, but I have had the same supply for years. I use it to slow down the drying of the clay. It is upcycled plastic film from dry cleaner, so not plastic created for drying clay. For cutting shapes I don’t use plastic wrap, as I can round up the edges after cutting the shapes, much as Ann does. Plastic wrap will do that automatically, but it’s not much effort to do that manually, Ann does this too in her projects. I upcycle plastics to aid in forming and texturing as well. I make my own tools from wood scraps upcycled from throw away pieces purchased from a luthier, or cutoffs from woodworking that are too small for any other purpose. I also make tools and cutters from the metal strapping used to hold down items to shipping pallets. We can all do a little, to a lot, to eliminate waste going to landfills.
