My name is Izabela, welcome to my channel.
In videos here, I teach the many trade tricks and secrets I've learned in my life time journey with clay. Do you like watching pottery making process and inspirational ideas, bonsai life style and interviews with interesting people? If yes, you will feel at home here.
What started as a small fun project, now became one of my favourite things. I design, film and edit the videos myself. Some videos take me a year to complete due to the long process of working with clay.
At Gaean Gardens we cultivate life experiences that are enriching and beneficial to our planet and all of her sentient beings.
Thank you so much for your support!

Life is a practice- talk with Tara, a potter of 22 years who gives herself grace
Tara's energy is joyful, energized, authentic. It is refreshing talking to her as she is an attentive listener and a great storyteller. Here she's sharing some of the stories of clay in her life, how it all started and what lessons she's learned from it. We can all learn about self- acceptance from Tara, a mom of 5 who balances through life with grace.
Tara is a person who brought me back to pottery after a break of few years. She is the person who taught me about firing, glazing, waxing and so many tricks that I am sharing here, on youtube. Now I wanted to talk to her on camera to show everyone how awesome she is. I am so blessed to have a wonderful, life long friend in Tara. In her presence, life is always fun and I gain many insights and revelations from her ideas. Hope you enjoy this as much as we did!
You can find Tara on Instagram @taraparklane
If you liked the video, please comment, like and share, it helps a lot! I decided to leave this one without the background music, how do you like this format? Would you like to see more interviews with interesting people, like Tara?

Rice paper for calligraphy needs to be strengthen and held by the weights for comfortable writing and painting with ink.

I used acrylic paint and Chinese Ink, both mixed with Americana Fabric Medium, which allows for the colours to stay on fabric and not wash off. The hoodie is a cotton mix from Micheals Craft store. It was a fun little project that t...

What a wonderful discussion!!!
Amazingggg!! ❤❤
I like how you you tell him "Don't try, just send it." Also, he could put clear grip tape over the "resolve" section. That should protect it further.
@t3dwards13 Thank you! yes, never try, just do it or not, he knows lol He did put the clear grip tape eventually
Excellent interview!!!
@@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951 thank you, Tom!
Foist!
Thank you for your reply Regards David
Hi just seen your video on making a large oval bonsai pot that looks fantastic what clay do you use and Do you need to put it in a kiln I would love to make one but don’t have a kiln Kind regards David from England
@davidhughes4020 hi David, in my video description you can read what clay I used, it's cone 6 stoneware, it does need to be fired. If you don't have a kiln you can look for a place to fire it for you, local community club or private places. Look up kiln space for rent, there's a website that shows local places, good luck!
I am simply loving the joy of each revelation as you are unloading, I have happy tears . Thanks beautiful people 🙏🏼🌈🎶
@beinghere1494 Brig, I'm touched by your comments this morning, they have brought me so much joy! Thank you so much, I'm happy to have you here 💜
Oh how wish I could be there and share your joy and learn from/with you. Blessings from this heart to yours 🙏🏼🌈🤗
I just love your hearts, I wish I could be there with you 🌈🙏🏼

@beinghere1494 that is very special feeling, I'm glad I put the videos out and decided to do youtube knowing you experienced this. It means a lot to me, thank you for sharing your beautiful heart! 🤗💜

Excellent display tiles. Cool colors.
Glad you like them!
Cool designs in these display tiles. Izabela you make a great teacher. Very interesting video on what you do. Excellent!
thank you, Tom!
Those are cool tiles. I bet you could use one for a mini bonsai pot. A super mini. Great colors on them.
thank you!!! Yes, it would be fun, but it would need feet and texture on the outside not inside
Brilliant idea!!! Looks like you had fun on this one!
Yes, lots of fun, glad you can tell :)
Fabulous work!!! I'm curious how permanent it will be.
Thank you!!! I haven't washed it yet, but I have washed my other T-shirts and they held up quite well
And they're musical when you shake it...😂
It's another hidden feature :D
Superb!!!

Cool assistant!

Wow... They turned out so great!
My gosh you two make magic happen in that kiln!! My son doesn’t do pottery but I know he’s going to love this page!!
@@micheledickey4066 thank you for sharing and enjoying!!!
Awesome!
Thank you!
What more can one say but, Superb!!!!!!!
@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951 glad you liked it, Tom!
Foist to like!!!
Gorgeous!!! Did you use a reference photo? Or from memory?
@t3dwards13 thank you! I did use some reference and some make up, the photo was of the bird and two seperate pictures of the fruit and flower from suicide fruit tree. In the photo the bird was not eating the fruit or sitting on the tree so it was a combination of imagination and reference photos
Thats so beautiful! I wish i could get into pottery. Is it difficult to learn?
@jennevakanis18 I'd say if you want to learn it means it's calling to you and you will enjoy learning. This kind of dish is super easy to make. Of course, refinement takes practice, but to start you can self- learn from youtube, find somewhere to fire your pieces and understand how this process work. Good luck and hope you get to try it!
@@gaeangardensbyizabela thanks I hope to try soon!
Cool video. You are the master!
@@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951 thank you, Tom!
I like how positive this unloading is! Love the little bonsai dishes!
@threelittlepotters that's an attitude I developed over the years, it's more helpful for sure. Glad you enjoyed it! Just subscribed to your channel, I'm looking forward to watching your content
@@gaeangardensbyizabela Thank you so much for subscribing! I definitely feel the positivity of that attitude. I imagine as a student, it would make you very reassured to take risks and grow. I hope that if I get to teach classes in the future I can embody some of that.
@threelittlepotters oh yes, thank you for sharing this. When people learn new skill they are often very critical of themselves so if we can encourage them and show them how amazing it is that they had tried something new it makes it a more success process for everyone 💜
Wonderful work. I have one doubt: can we use a terracotta pot for planting without firing? I made one by myself but don't have access to a kiln. Can I use it for planting if I prime the air-dried terracotta pot with GESSO and paint some acrylic on it?
@HarusaiBonsai good question: what kind of clay did you use? If the clay is meant for firing- stoneware or earthenware, then I don't think it would hold itself even with acrylic paint because the water will seep into it and simply soften it back again. But if you used some sort of air dry clay, than I'm not sure, as I never worked with them, but perhaps you have some chance? If you'd like to fire it, search for local workshops, pottery stores, community groups and see if anyone can fire it for you. I believe there's a website where you can search for kilns to rent: kilnshare or something like that
@@gaeangardensbyizabela Thank you so much for reading my query and clearing my doubts. I used earthenware clay. This means I must fire it. I will search for a kiln in my locality. Once again, thank you.
@HarusaiBonsai you're very welcome, hope you find it and let me know how it goes. It's well worth firing it and having a great pot since you have made it yourself
@@gaeangardensbyizabela Yes, that's true. I will definitely share the update on it. Thank you.
Such a big pot😂
@@JamaicanemeraldQueen just huge! Lol
Это что-то невероятное! Просто шедевры, прям каждое изделие шедевр. Благодарю вас❤
Thank you so much! I'm very glad I could share and you enjoyed seeing them ❤

Great items the students made and the Chinese writing ones are super cool.
thank you, Tom!
The pots turned out great. Now to see what little ones Nigel put in them.
that will be so cool to see!
Your students are soo fortunate to have you!!! I'd say Nigel could be considered one of your students as well!...But then you're also a student of his. 😎
@t3dwards13 Yes, Danté! Nigel gives me credit but really he has a natural talent, I mean who does that? Shocking to see quality of his work
And yes, I learned so much from him, started bonsai thanks to watching Bonsai Zone!
Fired up to make more!! Thanks Izabela!!
Nigel and Izabela, every single one of those turned out beautiful!!! Got me motivated to glaze all my baby pots :) Thanks for sharing!
@CGKFPV oh that's awesome, glazing is quite daunting process but the results make it all worth it, have fun and enjoy!
@@TheBonsaiZone that's great, you have the momentum, Nigel!
great job Izabela!
@@BlueJayBonsai thank you, Jay!
