I’m going to build one of these for my Dad. He has a hard time finding a mug he can grasp with his bent up arthritic fingers so I’ll make it with a handle he can fit his whole hand into. Thanks for all your instruction!
I especially like the indentations you made with your fingers. Thank you for showing the finished mug. So many don’t and it is frustrating.
She does such great videos. I had what felt like 100 bubbles in recycled clay when I rolled it out. It was my first time recycling clay. The next time, when I layed the very wet clay out to dry some on a plastic cutting board before wedging it, I slammed the cutting board down a number of times to force the bubbles to the surface, like what you do when you pour cake batter in pans. It really helped. Then I cut it in strips and slammed each down, one on top of the other. It was to force any bubbles out the sides. Then I wedged it. It made a big difference. I do follow how she let's her clay dry completely before soaking it and recycling it.
Started pottery last week with little knowledge, but it has been so much fun jumping feet first into something new. Your videos have been helpful and easy to digest for someone who has never worked with clay before. Keep the videos coming! Thanks again!
That's nice to hear! I'm glad you're having fun! :D

Likewise, just starting too. I feel like the more you can learn from others the better you will be.
This is an excellent video. You are so low key and easy going and you show how to make this mug simply with a normal person approach that can be easy to relate to. Thanks for doing it!🙂🙂🙂
I love your way of teaching! Your tutorial is so clear yet relaxing.
Hmm, ceritanya bikin mug slab sendiri nih. Kayaknya asik juga ya buat coba-coba. Tapi nggak nyangka ternyata ada DIY pottery segini seru. Keren sih!
It turned out so beautiful! ❤️
I knew nothing before I watched your video and the first thing I made was a cup using this technique and it's helped me so much just knowing how to begin. Brilliant tutorial. Thank you x
I’m so glad to hear! 😄
omg the dog hair problem, I was always really conscious about it hahaha. glad it is not just me
hahah yes it's no problem :)
Hey!! Thank you for this course!! I am going to try making a drip coffee maker. I will make the conical l thingy and the jug. I will use your techniques! Thank you again for your video. Your mug came out so good!!
Love this video! I just began taking wheel classes, but wanted to learn slab work as well. Your tutorial is so helpful. I have made three mugs, so far, using your techniques. Keep the videos coming! Thank you!!
I couldn't find the link for making a wedging board. I love your videos, than you for doing them.
I love this video, thank you for all tips and clear demo, many thanks n keep it up!!!
Thank you very much, beautiful mug!Looking forward to your next video!
Pinching something would be nice,too.Best regards ❤!
....so beautiful, thank you for the great video
A very, very good tutorial. Thanks.
A well-explained and demonstrated tutorial - thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very nicely and simply explained...thank you
Thank you so much for mentioning the dog hair! ha ha I am just starting out and it was stressing me out so much! This is a great video! i cant wait to try!
That makes sense to bevel the edges! I wasn't shown that but going to try it next time!
super nice, just what I was looking for, thank you!!!
Super helpful. I took a pottery workshop some months back and just ordered some supplies to try hand building on my own. Can't wait to try making this!
You can do it!
You are awesome!! ❤️ Thank you❤️
I am trying to make a pythagorean cup and this was very helpful. I went completely over the top trying to make it all bond perfectly because i underestimated how good it all stuck together. Thanks
I am so glad you are back :) I am a beginner and learn so much from your vids
Awesome! Thank you!
Thank you as always!
I loved watching your video Pottery to the People. I love working with DAS modeling clay and clay, and I wanted to develop my learning and I found you and it was wonderful, because you teach very well and I am sure that I will be able to do things better with your videos. Thank you and much success. I loved your Instagram and I will follow you. Success always! Hug
Pretty!!
Exellent explanation. Thanks.👌☺
Love it. Gonna grind this week to make some charcoal and rebuild my clay kiln, then my goal is to make a father's day mug for, yknow, father.
This is an excellent video! Super clear instructions, and you've shown an easier method for making the base than I've been using, so thank you! :-)
You're very welcome!
I agree re base technique-so much easier and less stressful. Thank you
Fantastic! This was a super introductory video, so thorough. Thank you so much for making it. How much do you think the mug weighs?
thats a good mug man
this looks *good*
Thank you!
Excellent video, thank you for sharing!
Where is the make your wedging board video link you mentioned?
Hey! I love your channel! It's so helpful for beginners and inspirational. One question, where I can find templates for sizing and cutting the right measure for making mugs? Thank You!
Brilliant videos, thank you so much! How thick is the clay for the slab mug please? I'm guessing about 6mm?
i love slip!
Hey I'm trying to get into pottery and I'd like some starting tips and tricks and know more about pottery wheels
Thanks!
I'm binge watching your videos. How come you couldn't go to your slip bucket and take out a couple ounces for slip?
Thanks ❤
Thank youiii
Thank you 🌹👍
Muito obrigada por compartilhar / gostaria de poder assistir em português ( Brasil )
i'm surprized it didn't shrink at all, at least not visibly. Well done, I loved the piece and i'll be trying it. Thanks
It definitely shrinks! About 10%.
Thank you for all. I would like to know about pottery from the beginning, that means starting from how to select the soil for pottery to producing the product. please try to inform me how to begin.
So beautiful 😍 PLEASE can you show me how you glaze this cup , can we do it at home ?
Here's some info about how you can glaze from home: czcams.com/video/c8ET60elLBc/video.html Just find a glaze with speckles in :)
Good quality clay..
Hi, is the mug finishing is waterproof? What do you use for that
Can you explain when to slip for a handle and when you can skip that step? Thanks!
You are very golden
hi, is it possible to make a heart shaped mug with slab pottery? my first one i kinda freestyled so logically made the base first instead of the body.
Danke für das Video 😊 ich hab deinen Account heute gefunden und freu mich schon auf die anderen Videos
Ich hab eine Frage zu dem Boden der Tasse - auf der Innenseite hast du die Verbindungsstelle vom Boden zur Wand nicht verblendet, nur auf der Außenseite. Ist das innen egal/wird das von der Glasur verschlossen?
Liebe Grüße
Super, helpful as always! Danke!!
Oh yeah, those dog/cat hairs... I gave up aswell :P
haha oh yes
Can you post a link to where I can buy that clay?
can you please link the glaze used?
Very simple instructions. Great video. I am a beginner. What clay do I ask for at the store?
I source mine online from Rocky Mountain Clay if you’re planning to kiln fire it. Make sure to get a clay that can be fired to the desired cone. If you aren’t kiln firing, you can pick up some air dry clays at some decent craft and art supply stores like Blick.
Oh cool, you're German? I've just started learning german. Also idk why this video showed up in my feed. I've never done anything pottery related buy I guess I might now. Would it be fine if I just used the clay down at the stream, if you know?
oh my GOD this video was so good it gave me those funny stomach butterflies at one point when you cut to the mitered 45 knife cut, I can't wait to try this.
edit: Trying to limit myself to one question... what did you glaze it with? I have some grey natural clay I collected that seems to pit fire buff or yellow but I was hoping to put something simple and natural on it next time to get something wild looking like yours
It's just a white glaze with some blue speckles in it. The darker clay helps to give it more depth :)
@@PotterytothePeople thanks for the reply!!
Hi Mia, your videos are great and very useful! Well done! :) I have a question, is it necessary to wedge the fresh clay which has just been unpacked? I usually do but I know people doesn't, so I was wandering. Thanks!
it’s not necessary:)
Hi :) i love your channel só much! It has been my company this quarantine
That's so lovely to hear! Yes, the bone dry pieces can be just left out as long as you need until you have access to a kiln. Just be careful they don't get wet or bumped because they will be fragile! Hi from Berlin!
Could you show me how to blend coils as mine always end up having different thicknesses.
I talk about coils in this video: czcams.com/video/BN1Fcr_pVvQ/video.html
What kind of clay does she use?
The clay from Carl Jager? ;)
Silly question but do you not still need to wedge when rolling out a slab? (I know you said to pop the bubbles, but I thought it was a necessity to wedge clay before use. Does the compression of the roller stop the need for this?)
You should always wedge the clay unless it comes straight out of a new bag of clay. Rolling it out without doing this will usually result in a lot of air bubbles that you can’t see and the pot will not be as strong.
I agree with what michele said!
What do you coat or seal it with thats food/beverage safe? Thank you!
ceramic glaze :)
What Are you rolling on?
what name of this clay?
Aha! Found your answer in another comment, 5mm, thanks!
I use my ruler as a square, but it's worse than eyeballing usually.
Has anyone told you , you look like Breda from the last kingdom ☺️
what board are you working on ? Is it plywood or mdf?
I call it a wedging board. It's just normal wood wrapped with canvas. Here you can see how I make it: czcams.com/video/ttePyXBvCTI/video.html
hello, may i ask how thick is the slab for the mug? im trying to make a mug but im afraid that the mug is to heavy for the handle
1/2 centimeter
What material do you put so that we can drink from a ceramic cup
glaze and then it's very important that it is fired in a ceramic kiln to at least 1000 degrees celcius. No other technique will make food-safe pottery.
Start of the video: "Going to make this tiny little mug"
15 minutes later: "This is starting to be a very beefy mug"
சூப்பர்
It's not a great idea to keep dry bits of clay for making slip as breathing in clay dust can cause silicosis.
Instead, make a batch of slip and keep it in a slip trailing bottle or just a tub like an old yoghurt pot. This keeps it wet so no danger from clay dust.
I have slip that I made almost 2 years a go in a squeezey bottle and it's still usable immediately without any extra mixing.
Definitely need to show wedging or at least mention it.
I don't usually wedge when the clay is fresh from the bag... #lazypotter ;) If you handle it right it will be fine.
lockdown...lol.
Not another mug!!!! How about a jug or pitcher????
Sorry but bad advice not to wedge. If you miss a bubble your pot will explode. Yeah? Take one minute and wedge first.
moisture causes explosions, not air bubbles 😉
Also she didn’t tell anyone not to wedge, just that she didn’t. People are lazy and sometimes you don’t feel like it. If it’s a fresh cut of clay it’s fine not to wedge
