Do you want that vintage, aged, old-world charm of hand-crafted terracotta, but all you can afford are the boring new every-pot-is-the-same pottery from the big box stores? You are in luck! In this video we'll show you how to take cheap new terracotta and give it a rustic European patina and hand-thrown appearance. Your pot will go from one-of-a-million to One-in-a-Million, and look like it aged 100 years, all in one afternoon.
Vintage pottery truly does make me weak in the knees. I have been so happy with these pots, both inside my home and out in the garden. When I see them I smile, and I hope they will make you smile too. Enjoy the video and if you decide to make them, I'd love to hear how they turned out for you!
