I love the cat, please keep him in the videos. He is very sweet. I have usually done most of this at leather hard stage but I will try the cylinder wrap around technique. Thanks for the many tips.
Thanks for tips! Never thought about using roller for shape .. I usually leave clay out20 min let stiffen little then just cut 4 in circle add wall .. will try this see if I do better shape not be wobbly. 😊 I do go back use red solo cup shape after assembly.
And like the volume in this video went down and down... Interesting and masterful way of making a textured coffee mug. How many more mugs do we still need? :)
Just started to dabble in hand building this month. Was quite pleased with the three that I did even though one has a beautiful vertical crack. Will definitely try the cling wrap when applying my stamps. Will also use the plastic on the inside of the cylinder instead of newspaper. So many points I will have to start using my ipad out in the studio to remember them all... Rolling a coil........Ah Bisto! moment. Thanks for sharing!
Hi! Thanks so much for the video, it’s super helpful for a beginner like me! Is 6mm (just under 1/4 of an inch which is 6.4 mm) too thin? I am planning on using a hand cut linoleum stamp to push into the clay. Thanks!
I love this method. I am a beginner potter, and am overwhelmed by the myriad of methods. But this one makes sense, and looks like something I could do. Could you use pvc pipe instead of carboard tube?
I've purified natural clay, but it's not good for the materials that are added to the mud when you knead it to be obedient? Please help me how to prepare clay to make traditional pottery, I do not have the money to buy ready clay,
You need to add what is known as Ball Clay to your found clay. It makes rough clays more plastic. You can try adding vinegar to found clay, that sometimes helps.
She would be very sad to get rejected. She sleeps next to me literally all day, every day. A previous studio cat had to sleep in any bowl I put on the table. I have photos. She was promoted to house cat and now sleeps on the bed, absolutely adorable. You are right, very distracting. I probably could have made lots more pots if I had not spent half the days paying attention to them. Still I will probably live longer with less stress from petting them.
I love you having a cat in your studio. She’s awesome! We have three miniatures schnauzers and one of them stays with me in my little studio, she just loves to lay in a chair and watch and just her being there makes me happy. You’re right less stress with a pet around. Great video! 👍🏼
I really enjoy your video's. Thank you for sharing your skills, tips and suggestions. Your work is beautiful.
Thank you for your generosity in sharing your your skills 🙏🏽

Thanks, my cat will appreciate it.
Love the kitty. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, very informative video.
You are welcome.
"When you do the first one it takes you an hour." Oh, I laughed at that! So true!
Thanks for watching.
Aww! I love your assistant and I’m sure he/she loves the new home.
Thanks but sadly she passed away last winter. I had her 12 years.
You are a wonderful teacher!

How many more mugs do we still need? :)
😉 Found it! I rolled out my clay yesterday and I'm rewatching your video for tips! Hand building tall mugs is not easy for me.

Great to hear! There is a different feeling when hand building.
Hi Vince. Thanks for sharing. I did learn a thing or two from this :-)
Thanks Linda, though Vaughan is my name. Common mistake, I have had Bjorn, Von, and Vince.
I love going to garage sales for kitchen gadgets or the Salvation Army store to the utensil aisle - recycle is my thing now lol
Or my own backyard 😊
Hardware stores are my favourite, potato peelers are always fun.
Magnifique,si j'habitais votre province,vous seriez mon mentor,merci
Je suppose qu'apprendre de CZcams est la prochaine meilleure chose
Thank you
I like little tips you give. I know some of them but was super stoked to hear some new things!
Thank you, those little tips can make potting a lot easier.
That was great!!
Thank you, it is rare for me to hand building.
Great video
Thank
Thank you too
Thank you , I’m going to give it a go from Jennifer Downunder 😀

If you are gentle with the clay you can go even thinner. The thinner the clay slab the harder it is to handle. Try one slightly thicker first.

Yes any pipe will do as long as you cover it so the pipe pulls out and leaves the paper or plastic inside the clay cylinder. Thanks for watching.
Awesome
Thanks
Can you please say how you prevent the handle drying quicker than the cup. Thank you
I often wrap handles in saran wrap if I am worried they will dry too quickly, but I use a damp cupboard which slows drying a lot.
What did you use to make the texture stamps? You mentioned that you carved them...
They are just clay.
What is standard size? 4x 12?
I wonder where you get your cardboard tubes.?
I collect all sizes, paper towel, all the way up to bubble wrap tubes.
Can you sublimate a hand built or wheel thrown mug?
I do not know how to do that, I would assume you would need a press.

Sous-titres français svp, merci d’avance. !
The Devil’s work. Hahaha, so true.
Camera is to far away.
Thanks, I have been putting it closer in more recent videos. It may show better on a large screen.
You are a fantastic artist. You need to remove the cat from the video, especiallythe cleaning ritual, very distracting.
