This is by far the best pinch pot / hand building tutorial I’ve seen, the others were informative but the pieces they made were very traditional and old fashioned so not very inspiring...Thank you so much! I’d love to see how you finish off and also the pot with the lid. I’m sharing this with friends who I did a ceramics tutorial with, we’re based in Barcelona from all different places (UK, Spain, Hungary and Argentina) so you have an international following :)
Thanks so much, Alex! Hello from Los Angeles!
Same! I like how modern this feels!
I am also also interested to know what was involved in finishing it off
I’m a beginner - at nearly 70, starting weekly classes. This is amazing! I hadn’t thought of building pots at home, but definitely possible with this excellent tuition! 😇
5 thumbs down? What's wrong with people?! This was by far the best video on the subject I've come across, packed with "how to" tips and mesmerising to watch a journey of a slab of clay turning into a beautiful object.
Thank you 🌹
Thank you for having my back! 😂💖
Not a lot of hand building videos out there. Thank u. Ive subscribed☺
Love your approach and attitude. Not to mention skill. Thanks
Thank you so much Gina👌🏻👌🏻🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️👍🏻👍🏻
The way you made the foot honestly blew my mind !!! Thank you so much for this tutorial
Ha! I can't roll a coil with my palm - they turn out all wonky! Thanks for watching!
Very very very well explained! Thankyou a lot! Big hug!
Your hands are the greatest tool you'll ever possess.
This is by far the most thorough tutorial for making beautiful pinch pots on You Tube. I’ve made three little vases and have rewatched the video many times while pinching. Thank you!
I loved this video. It made me run to my lump of clay and turn it into a vase! Now I only need to find a kiln to fire it lol
👏👏👏 you local clay studio will be able to help 👍
@@anahenton3391 Yes, I normally go to weekly classes, but we're on winter break now and I couldn't wait lol
@@agustinaamigo gotcha!
And again, I truly enjoyed this all though I have been potting over 25 years:) your love of clay is evident and transfers even over this sterile screen, thank you again for taking this precious time to share💐
So nice of you to say! Thank you!!
Best pinch pot video I've seen! Thanks for including how you make your foot😊
Thank you from Judy, Brighton UK. I really enjoy your clear and straight forward tutorial and I look forward to following you for more.

This was a great video thank you. I've just started ceramic classes here in Australia and of course we started with pinch pots... so this video is wonderfully inspiring and helpful. Hope you do more videos. Cheers Melinda
Good work
I would love ideas for decorating and glazing from home. I don’t have kilns and things at home so struggle making it look good when finished.
Hiya, amazing tutorial. Loved it! Can this be raku fired?
I'd love to learn how to make a box!
Thank you this is a great tutorial!!! Was there a part 2 for this one in the end?
so fun!!
Gracias! Great info. I'd love it if you did a tutorial about glazings! Saludos desde Argentina ;)
more of these!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes please! I would love to see a little lidded jar or mug :) This tutorial was so helpful! Thank you!
Yes please! Lidded pot
Great tutorial... Thank you!
Can I please ask why you don't score your clay when joining or adding?
Wonderful tutorial, thanks so much! Does this same process apply to air dry clay?
Very informative. Can u please upload more
I’m so excited to get into pottery! I’m totally new to it, and your video has helped so much. What type of clay do you use?
So I can say, I was in a pottery store and I asked what type of clay we are better to use. She told us that there are two types of clay that you can use. Low fire clay it'll dry faster and high fire clay. I hope it was useful for you! :D
I would love to know what clay you use. Learned a lot from your video! Thanks!!
Hello, these amazing. Did you do a second video to finish them off?
Hi Gina, thanks so much for your video, its really helpful for a beginner like me. One question: do you have a tip for people with small hands? I struggle to reach into the bottom of the pot, to pinch when its too thick. If anyone else has tips that'd be great too thanks. PS Love your pots in the background :-)
Would you also Consider to Show how you glaze? Great Video!
Great teaching - thank you 👍🙏 How is your work surface made? Is it made with fabric on top?
Love this tutorial. Thank you. What brand and type of clay do you use, Gina?
Hi! would this work with air dry clay as well? By the way thanks for the tutorial! I really enjoyed watching it
Hi Gina, can you do a session on glazes? Loving your videos. Thank you :)
cindy rodriguez, we are teaching an online glaze class via zoom! Check us out on our website stilllifeceramics.com for more info!
@@StillLifeCeramics Hi I'd love to take a look of the glazing class but I couldn't find it on your website...
great video!! i'd be interested in the pinch pot box with lid... any chance thats coming up? thanks!!!
I love your work, what type of clay is that your using?
Ohhh my!
Thankyouuuuu
I just loved your session. I wanted to know if these can be made out of air dry clay as well?
I would think so- if the clay isn’t too wet to begin with and doesn’t dry out too fast! Not water resistant or waterproof unless you seal it and not food safe.
Very beautiful .. How to dry it ? Is it in air or through the oven ? How is it glazed ?... Thank you so much.
