hello friends!!! here is our full stream from this week (7/6), making tiny pottery on a mini pottery wheel!! i hope you guys enjoy it and have a great week :) we're hoping to have our next main channel video up before the next stream, so we hope to see you guys there!! also, so sorry about tyler's shirt at the beginning of the stream -- if you're rewatching this later, we changed shirts midway through! sorry again and thank you for your patience

I appreciate Tyler so much. He sees in the chat that his shirt could offend or hurt someone and he immediately apologized and leaves to take it off. We Stan a king and a gentleman. Thank you Tyler 😊

most youtubers: buy our merch saf & tyler: here’s our merch but you cannot have it

Tyler don't beat yourself over the shirt. you didn't know and had no intentions of offending anybody.

Tyler is the sweetest most considerate person...like as soon as he realised the t shirt was offensive...he just went like I'll go change ❤❤❤

A shirt saying "We're working on merch. Sorry guys." So funny.

Next Stream Idea Team Geoguesser and its Saf and Tyler vs Cristine and Ben

Who agrees that they should do this whole thing in big?!

I know Tyler’s about to beat himself up over the shirt thing even though he did exactly what he should have done. Y’all better not criticize, I will throw hands.

i heavily respect tyler for changing his shirt the moment he realized it was offensive.

I completely understand not wanting to offend anyone and everyone knows that would never be Tyler’s intention. I hope Tyler doesn’t beat himself up over it, he handled it very well, and there’s definitely no need to dwell or bring it up again. I appreciate the balance between the task at hand and not giving too much power to the chat and letting it consume the decisions and direction the livestream takes. I think it was a great happy medium 😊 y’all were awesome as always 🥰

I love how these livestreams are basically giving them the freedom to try all the weird things they would do in main channel videos without the stress of editing.

Please let Carly always read the chat, and don´t read it yourself because it was so much more fun when you concentrated more on your interactions and on the pottery itself. The Chat is to distracting. Maybe you be in the chat for the beginning and the end and on the middle carly tells you some things from the chat. Either way i really like your videos :)

Carly is now like a parent with 2 kids who wants toys and stuff and just play with them. She buys them the toys make sure it works properly, gives them instructions, gives adult supervision, gets second hand embarrassment. All the joy of a parent 🤣

I feel like it’s only a small amount of time before we get a “Following a Bob Ross Painting Tutorial” stream. Im so ready for it

Tyler is honestly the most genuine soul. He easily could have ignored the comments or could have just said “sorry I don’t know what this means” and left the shirt on, but instead he openly admitted to his accidental fault, genuinely felt bad about it, and quickly changed. We need more people like him. Seriously.

The vibes and fun while doing the craft without worrying about chat the entire time is so much better. The atmosphere and interactions were so much more enjoyable to watch. Good job you 2! And now I go to Amazon to order a mini pottery wheel.

In Tylers defense because of the shirt: When you find a random shirt, I don't think you would expect that something offensive is written on it. Glad the chat pointed it out and Tyler noticed it! And don't worry Tyler. How would you know? So I hope you didn't feel so bad about it. :(

Don't worry Tyler about the t-shirt thing, you didn't know! As an Argentinean, I totally understand! Edit: I meant I understand he doesnt know but for argentineans at least that word is very negative

Tyler is adorable. You did exactly the right thing with the shirt, don't sweat it. Love both you guys ❤ Would LOOOOOVE to see vlog style videos 😘

I love the way that they always give credit to other KZfaqrs and people that they are learning from, its so nice to give platforms to artists

my favourite part was when we all sat on the floor together ❤️

Carly: the disembodied voice of wisdom, knowledge and second hand embarrassment.

I love that Saf only has to say like 3 words about something and Tyler knows what she's talking about. You two are so cute!

I'm only now catching up, and I gotta say, this is already the single cutest idea I've ever seen. I would be okay if all Saf&Ty did from now on was in miniature. Tiny baked goods, tiny gummy sushi, tiny tiny pottery to put it all in. I'm so enchanted and entranced.

I can't get over how sweet and mindful Tyler is. I only just started watching this channel over the weekend and he's just so precious

Quick tip for giving cats medicine through a syringe: Squeeze around the cats jaw at the corner of the mouth forcing the cats mouth open slightly. Wiggle the syringe behind their canine tooth ( if they gag, don’t be alarmed) And squirt the medicine in. The vet taught me this when I was having trouble giving my two cats their ringworm medicine. Hopefully this will prevent Crusty from spitting in back at you.

I don't normally comment but I just want to admire how pure and amazing both you and Tyler are. Referencing the shirt. I have never heard that word and I wouldve assumed it was a brand, I think it's so amazing how quick and gentle he was about changing so as to not offend anyone. You both are great people and I love you guys, I look forward to seeing you post. I've been watching for years and you've both always been so personable, I'm happy you two started the live streaming so we can all see you two be more, "yourselves" if that makes sense. Anyway, I never comment because I feel it won't be seen. But here it is

This stream was so much easier to follow! With less reading the chat live while doing stuff... And I don't really mind the reminder to hit like, do others? I never remember when it's in full screen and then I click out of the ads

We need the bad prom photo to make it into a highlight reel 👏

As the daughter of 2 professional ceramists, who grew up watching her parents give pottery lessons in the workshop at home, this was very funny to watch 😂

This livestream is the best thing to happen to these two. I watch them for the adorable chaos and I get an hour and a half every week

Tyler speeding up the wheel and giving his little pot whiplash was the funniest thing it caught me so off guard

Safiya's hairstyle looks sooooo good on her

Tyler has always been a king

Using the pottery in a fairy house would be cute ❤

just rewatched y'alls wedding content. gives me a happy feeling all the time.

Breakdown of Basics: For those who would like to try pottery, regular or mini 1. Set yourself up for success and prepare your clay (make sure it's a uniform consistency and doesn't have any air bubbles- usually achieved by wedging the clay which, unlike kneading dough, takes air out and compresses the clay). Make sure you end up with a rounded piece of clay. 2. Clean off any dust/debris from the wheel by wiping it with a damp sponge/towel, but don't leave any standing water (should be tacky but not wet). 3. "Throw" your ball of clay, round side down, onto the wheel. (Ah, yes, THROWing on the wheel, a stroke of naming genius.) The round side should be down so that when it adheres to the wheelhead, there are no air pockets that could later cause the clay to fall off the wheel / make your piece uneven / later leave you with a hole in the bottom of your pot where you don't want one. The bottom should flatten nicely and shouldn't really budge- it should suction on there. If it is super off-center/off-centre, you can hold the clay firmly with one hand and rotate the wheel with the other, pulling the wheel in a direction towards yourself. 4. Decide which direction your wheel will spin and start centring/centering. In western convention, right handed people tend to throw counter clockwise, while lefties throw clockwise- I myself am right handed but throw with the wheel turning clockwise 🤷‍♀️, so do what feels right/works for you. Seal the edges of your mound so that they are flush with the wheelhead (that way, air and water can't get under it and rip your clay off the wheel later on). Your elbows should be tucked into your hips or thighs as a means for support to achieve a "tripod" like stability- your arms shouldn't be moving/pushed around by the clay, and the same can be said for your fingers if you are doing mini throwing. In centring/centering, there is a technique called “coning up” which is where you push or squeeze your mound of clay from the sides towards the centre/center so that it does literally that, cones up (see what they did there?), and grows taller. You'll want to use water while doing this so that your skin doesn't catch on the clay, but make sure you don't over saturate the clay either, otherwise the clay with lose its structural integrity and start to collapse on itself or even crack. Coning up and down (so not only bringing the clay up, but then also bringing it back down by applying more presure on the top than on the sides, also acts as a way of compressing the clay, getting rid of air bubbles and making the clay a uniform consistency, by realigning the particles in the clay until they slide smoothly across one another (clay particles are like flat plates). Once your clay is centred/centered, you should be able to loosely place or hands and fingers on the clay without the clay pushing them around (aka, they shouldn't move). Your movements should be slower than the wheel is spinning and consistent in speed and presure. 5. Make the hole. Centering/Centring is important for making the hole, because if your clay is off centre/centre, your going to have one side that has more clay than the other, aka "uneven walls”, which also later translates into one side being higher than the other and overall wonky unstableness, which also tends to be fragile. You'll also want to leave enough clay at the bottom of your newly dubbed "vessel", since from here on out it is extremely difficult, an overall hassle, a last ditch effort, near impossible, and not recommended to add clay; 'tis the point of no return. If you put your finger at a slight angle, find the spot where your finger(s) doesn't move with the clay (aka the centre/center), your finger should sink pretty quickly; DON'T MAKE A DONUT (unless your making a lemon juicer or something that requires it). 6. Make your vessel's floor. Once you've gone as deep as you need to (about 2~1cm for regular pottery) you'll want to start shaping the bottom or the "floor" of your pot. Put your finger(s) on the lowest part of inside of your pot and pull towards yourself to widen the floor. Curl your fingers to match the outer shape of your pot (if you were to cut it in half, the surface of the negative space on the inside would match the outer surface's shape). 7. Start pulling up. "Pulling up" is a technique where the clay passes through your hands/fingers in a bit of an S shape, since the outer hand (which starts at the wheelhead) is lower than the inside hand (which starts from the vessel's floor). Your fingers/hands should generally be facing each other, and even supporting one another as you pull up, moving at the same time, with one acting as the stabilizer/support for the wall of your pot, while the other gathers the clay. You want even walls. Remember to be consistent with your movements, move slower than the wheel is moving, and make sure your arms/hands are supported and stable. Most of the clay tends to be at the bottom, but remember that you don't have to pull it all up at once (and doing so is not recommended). As you get to the top, you'll want to loosen your presure slightly, so that you don't make your rim too thin and break it (also because it is also more delicate and less supported than the base of your pot). Compress the rim every so often to make sure it's even and structurally sound- you are stretching the clay afterall. 8. Shape it. Once you are happy with the height of your pot, this is when you can start to have fun and shape it. Of note, height will decrease as the width increases, so be aware of that if you want a relatively tall or wide piece. 9. Experiment, practice, and most importantly, have fun! In the end, having fun and enjoying your time playing and shaping your clay is the most important part, and a lot of the ways in which you achieve centering/centring and pulling up with depend on what feels right to you, so try things out and see what works for you! Happy potting! 😊

Dang, I didn't even know what the shirt meant (I googled it because I saw people taking about it in the comments). Hopefully No one gives him to much of a hard time because sometimes you just don't know things and now we all do know for the better

I really hope this wheel isn’t too loud for you guys **whisper quiet**

I have binge watching all the live streams and I just have to say how perfect Safiya and Tyler are for each other. They truly are couple goals

I love how they say that tiktok is down, so we can hang out with them instead. But I would actually always prefer Safiya and Tyler to tiktok. They are the best people currently on youtube along with Rosanna and Lilly.

Tyler you are so sweet. We know that you and Saf are very kind and respectful people and would never intentionally offend anyone. You handled the situation beautifully! 🖤

Safiya’s shirt gives Jackson Pollock vibes

We literally named our dogs Reilly and Otto after the O'Reilly Auto Parts theme song (O'REILLY OTTO Parts) and then proceeded to sing the theme song to our dogs. Not sure if it was successful marketing, but it definitely was successful at something.

I miss the butthole references. I mean I refer to my beauty blender as my “butt sponge” and I have no idea why.

I really hope you paint them in a future live, they're so cute :)

I think Tyler confused the words “firing” and “throwing.” Throwing is the act of drawing clay up and out on the wheel to make the piece larger, shaped, or to thin the walls.

Tyler’s happy dance at the beginning of the stream brightens my day every time. ☀️

OG fans needing no explanation for that mug. 😂🥰

As a potter, groaning and chuckling at Safiya "No no no, that is not centered/centred!!!" (giving both options as a confuzzled Canadian English major)

Must protect tyler at all costs

just gotta say the streams are always so well-organized and easy to follow but still engaging all the way through. also, definitely some of the most rewatchable live streams I've seen.

the chat partying while safiya left the chat on the floor was hilarious!

These last two streams have made me a huge Tyler stan. His stream last week was such a fun idea! I loved it 🥰 And the way he immediately changed once he learned about the shirt being offensive was amazing. We love Tyler 🥰🥰

A lipstick mug for a RIGHT HANDED person . It wouldn’t work for this lefty! 🤣🤣

I use the "Butthole" lip thing as if it's an official makeup term that everyone understands and it greatly confuses people

Do we have access to a franken-polish? Cuz that would be a great glaze for this tiny pottery :) Edit: Dude getting Cristine to decorate the pottery would make an awesome colab Schadenfreude brownie points if its water marble 😂😂😂

PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! Release that Mustache Mama Shirt. Its literally to die for! :o

the spinning on the wheel acts as a blurring filter on your vases

I want to see someone use sugar cookie dough on this thing and bake little pots

You guys and ben and Cristine really are the perfect couple friends, newest evidence, both have cats that one partner is allergic too. there are more. I love seeing you guys post again. definitely missed you on your hiatus, you seem happy and glowing. Your content always makes me smile sometimes to have in the background while I do a project so I dont lose my mind in silence. Exactly how we should react when I don't know something has a bad meaning to someone and we are told. make a change awesome good to see.

When saf brought out the string the first thought that I got was the ghost ship scene and yeah me too Tyler I'm also kinda creeped out by such things

Love how much Saf is just restraining herself to let Tyler have fun. I feel this so much because I do the same thing with my husband all the time

I got so happy when y’all sang the O’Reilly’s jingle - my boyfriend and I named our new puppy O’Reilly so we can sing the jingle to call him 😂😂

Love you guys so much, this pottery idea is so fun!!! Live streams are nearly impossibly hard to host and you guys handle unexpected things so well and are so so entertaining, i love watching you try things and i look forward to these streams every week🤗

Now I need a shirt/mug that says "A time was had" 😄

Tyler immediately getting the Ghost Ship reference was iconic.

No one: Tyler: is it “schmock”? We stan.

Thank you Tyler for reading my comment about meeting you two in Vegas at Paris Casino 😍😍😍

Pottery is hard when it’s regular sized, but this is fun, there’s usually a tray too to keep the mess in with full size machines

I adore these two people so much. They are one of the duos who are fun, and they are so respectful and so kind towards everyone and everything. And i love that so much. You two are wonderful and I am so glad that I met you two through KZfaq 😭❤️

I love watching these two. They are so adorable and genuine.

how WHOLESOME is it that tyler went to change his t-shirt when he saw something saying it is a derogatory term? I just started watching the video and was a bit shocked when I saw the word but did not think he was aware of what it meant. The fact that he went and changed is so sweet and significant, specially for us south americans who have been called that numerous times in not so ideal situations...

My ceramics teacher made an entire itty bitty teaset in like five minutes to flex his skills on us. It was beautiful.

Tyler killed it with the second pot though!!! Damn it's pretty and when he raised it, i was shook!!!! And so did Safiya, her sheer skill with that pencil looking tool made me go woah!!!!!

I look forward to watching you guys each week! Thank you for being so fun 💗

That was such a gentleman move, Tyler. Truly why I love you guys so much

The whole vibe of this video is amazing. This is one of my favorite streams so far!

Tyler is such a sweetheart

From many years experience, you needed to slow the wheel down and take your time to center the clay. Good job trying! A normal size wheel are fairly expensive and it's more difficult to throw air dry clay with it.

You handled the shirt situation so well! Thank you!

Literally two of the nicest people I've ever seen. ❤

My favorite part about if that mug every did come out and 20 years down the road it ends up at a thrift store somewhere and it would confuse an elderly lady sooooo deeply! 😅

I love the cup idea it's your freaking color lipstick color like everything

when it goes faster, it warps the thin walls generally you want to start out fast and then slow wayy down

Love you guys so much 🖤🖤🖤 thanks for being yourselves

I love you both, it's so soothing to hear and see this stream

I don’t typically like or dislike any videos, but I HAD TO when Saf asked for it. The look on her face. I loved it LoL. Priceless.

I got so nervous for them all of the sudden about the shirt. But I could totally understand that he wouldnt know, and he worr it just because of the aesthetics. But they were really professional about it 💕 Really enjoyed this Mini Pottery stream hahaha

I haven't watched for a while. Glad I'm back. You two are hilarious!!! Always a fan!!!

I should probably have put in earbuds for this one… because I’m 100% sure my parents are wondering what the hell I’m watching 😬

Please don't get too worried about your shirt Tyler! you had no idea

The wire is like a garrote. And I knew Saf was talking about Ghost ship right away too. Love that movie

I swear I love that mug so much!!

I legit thought Saf’s tshirt mess was just a galaxy print design

Def need to do full size pottery and decorate the tiny ones! X

I like when Tyler is the chat master!

I love you guys thanks for being yourselves

gosh, Saf’s need to be perfect and Tyler’s chaotic way of throwing reminded me of my middle school art classes. when we worked with clay, we didn’t use wheels, just our hands and various tools. so, i sat across from theses two guys; they were best friends and one was surprisingly very good at sculpting. all of the things he made in art were pretty perfect and he got great grades. the other… he would just dunk pieces of clay into the slip and when using the glaze to color he just mixed some together and threw it on his pieces. he was a great guy, just was a bit too chaotic to channel his creativity energy into his art!!
