    Your husband's pottery is just precious. How fortunate you are to have it. Thank you for taking us along to see Peter. The aerial view of you pulling out of your driveway was so artistic.

    OMG, Mr. Much More Patient’s pot that his mother saved....All. The. Feels.!

  • @SweetStuffOnMonarchLane

    Sorry to hear of Mr. More Patient's mom passing on... what a sweet story that she saved his little peice of art made with love with his own hands. Thank you for taking us on a field trip... I could watch him make pottery all day, and then the next day, too! Reminds me of when I took pottery in college. There's just something about handmade things. I had to rewind to see the doggie again... so cute/funny!

    So sweet that you now get to cherish the pottery your husband made as a child. Love the Wakefield pottery!

  • @ajack6421

    Loved the sweetness of your reaction with your hubby's pot and how she cherished it. Then, the artistry of Wakefield. Gardens are art. Pottery is art. ❤️

    When he pulled out that little tool, I audibly oohed and saved 😊. It is beautiful to see a true artist work.

    Am I the only one who teared up at the beginning of this video? I just lost my step dad recently and we did the 'going through his stuff' thing. It was very comforting but so hard at the same time! So to see Erin talk so lovingly about a parent holding on to their children's homemade gifts only to have it come back around full circle really hit home!
    Great video, as always!! Have a fantastic weekend y'all!

    This video is wonderful. What an incredible trip to Peter’s studio, Erin. That intro was beyond touching. The entire thing makes my heart sing. Thank you for the lovely shout out. I’m truly touched. And I’m excited to order more pots now! Shocking! 😂 Thank you Peter for continuing styles and traditions that make your work so special and timeless. You make it look easy, I know it’s quite daunting. Thank you Erin for capturing this and keeping this type of special art alive. 💜

    What a precious moment it must have been to receive a pot made by your hubby as a child that his mom has cherished. Thanks for sharing and the field trip!💐❤

  • @ec9401
    @ec9401 Před 3 lety

    This is just beautiful on so many levels. My grandmother was a potter for years, and I have one of her clay sculptures in the garden; it's a 'crone,'; she was a feminist/artist; they broke the mold when they made her. Before quarantine, I started taking a class, throwing my own pots, and hearing her voice in my head. I can't wait to get back to that. For now, I'm just hoping to eke out more time in the dirt before winter. Art and gardens go together like peanut butter and jelly. Thanks for your videos.

    I got so choked up when you were sharing the story of Mr. MMP’s vase and how/why it came to you. It was a great segue into your pottery field trip and such an interesting and beautiful topic. Thank you so much for your post today. ❤️🌸🌺🏺

    🍁When I lived in Wisconsin I loved going to Cambridge so much! Thanks for the memories. And isn’t it wonderful that your dear mother-in-law cherished her son’s tiny hands’ work on the little pot all those years. I, too, have a treasure my son made! Love and memories come in all different shapes and sizes, but they always fit perfectly inside our hearts. 🌻🧡

    It is so great to find artisans still pursuing their craft and making it available to those who appreciate hand made quality. I love timeless creations and it looks like Mr. More Patient could start his own side gig making pottery. :)

    Great field Trip! Hey Mr. more patient should hone his inner child, and make ceramics. I’m with you I’d buy that.

  • @dianeruesch8655
    @dianeruesch8655 Před 3 lety

    Yup, this is the guy who collaborated with Guy Wolff in the 90's (see About section on website). I had a prized 20+ year old pot from these 2 (bought at Seattle Smith&Hawken) which a repairman just broke in my garden this summer! I was so distraught and chewed the repairman's head off. Not so much because he broke it, but because he tossed it in the garbage. I use every shard of it still in the landscape.

  • @barbll000
    @barbll000 Před 3 lety

    Loved this video. I started collecting houseplants over a year ago and I soon discovered the second hobby is finding great and interesting pots to put the plants in. Choosing the perfect pot for a plant can make all the difference in the world to how it looks. I've always loved pottery.

  • @lorindachristine3291
    @lorindachristine3291 Před 3 lety

    Everything about this video was truly beautiful.💚 One of my otherwise less favourite nearby nurseries has an amazing pot collection. I was there Friday, and, like every trip, came home with a new pot.

    @TheLizzlebizzle Před 3 lety +1

    Thank you so much for championing creatives and the creative process. As an artist (painter), my garden and the wider landscape are a constant source of inspiration. I loved your inquisitiveness with the process and the artist, drawing out the inspiration from the artist. Peter's work in making those stunning pots is just magical.

  • @tawanajeffries3610
    @tawanajeffries3610 Před 3 lety

    I love Wakefield pottery. I’ve always wanted to take a pottery class. He makes it look so easy but the one time I tried making a piece it was much much harder than I thought. Thanks for the field trip.

  • @paulag.panzermd8239

    I have my kids pottery- such a meaningful post today. And, as a gardener, how could you not love pots !!! When Smith & Hawkens was in business, every time I stopped in, I picked up Guy Wolff pottery. Some are 20 years old. I will definitely check out Peter's site, beautiful work. Thank you for this today !! 😊

    • @TheImpatientGardener
      @TheImpatientGardener  Před 3 lety

      Peter worked closely with Guy Wolff to help produce those pots when Smith & Hawkens was selling them back in the day.

    @terrya. Před 3 lety +6

    When our kids were little, we used to make an annual summer trip to the Wisconsin Dells for them, and to Cambridge for pottery for me. (I have several Wisconsin Pottery pieces from those years.) I just got my very first pot from Wakefield this month - I was influenced by Laura at How's It Growing! Such fun to see this video! Thanks for sharing your field trip!

    • @sallyrichardson4082
      @sallyrichardson4082 Před 3 lety +1

      Wasn’t that fun! I picked up a piece of Wakefield as well recently after seeing Laura’s video about her pots. With winter coming I didn’t want to put a plant in it, so I put a silk arrangement in it. I can enjoy it all winter, then decide if I want to put it out in the garden. It’s the most beautiful golden color, and goes beautifully in my dining room. Thank you both so much for educating us about Wakefield pottery.

  • @thesmallscape
    @thesmallscape Před 3 lety

  • @beckyjohnson3161
    @beckyjohnson3161 Před 3 lety

    Enjoyed this field trip very much my great great grandparents came from Norway and settled in Cambridge their home is now a bed-and-breakfast I think it’s called the Victorian their names were Hans & Karen Olson. Another set of great great grandparents lived in Albion which is near Cambridge. Several descendants of these great great grandparents also lived in the area. On my last visit I visited the Rowe pottery store and purchase some items that I just love. I would like more pieces. On my next visit I will check out the Wakefield pottery. I see that they have stores next-door to each other maybe Wakefield wasn’t open the day we were visiting.
    I have been watching your videos for a very long time but not one that comments very often. I’m from northern Minnesota upon the Canadian border and so appreciate all that you share with us. Thank you and have a blessed day.

  • @tonichamber08
    @tonichamber08 Před 3 lety +1

    As a fellow Wisconsinite, I loved this video and I love Peter Wakefield's pottery. I ordered my first piece after seeing Peter's studio on the How's it Growing? channel and it obviously was made with heart and soul. I will order more pieces. They are truly beautiful in the garden and in the home. Thank you, Erin, for this peaceful and beautiful video!

  • @kyrad6543

    Love that blue pot.! pot/paperweight LOL. You could make that Orchid pot using the coil method of hand building. This video makes me really wish I never sold all my pottery equipment, especially since I just retired yesterday. What I loved was making something out of a lump of clay that is useful, yep that and it just feels amazing in the hand. Thanks for sharing.

Erin, you are an artist at home and at work. I wonder, are you familiar with Margaret at Away to Garden? I suspect you would enjoy her writing. Thanks for this video, loved it!

    I have a similar pot to the one you showed in the beginning However, the one I bought, is a bird house. Hangs from the base (sideways) with a wooden perch. Adorable!

    @dianawilson5030 Před 3 lety

    You’re absolutely right. Art and gardening go hand in hand. I’m an art conservator and an art dealer. Most people think I must be an artist (nope). Where I create beauty is in my garden. Much more challenging using nature’s palette. It’s ever changing, ever growing...much more interesting than a static painting.
