Attempting to Make a Ceramic Table // large scale coil building pottery project for beginners

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Watch my attempt to make a ceramic table! I love large scale coil building, and this project had the added challenge of fitting into a tiny kiln, which makes it the perfect handbuilding project for beginners & hobbyists who might not have access to a large kiln. This is my favorite handbuilding technique to make large pottery, and I am so pleased with the results. I hope you enjoy watching me make a clay table!

    As others have already stated, the "process" of designing & measuring" is incredible. Your template work alone, is a major inspiration. Have you ever done any small lamps, with matching shades? To be used with an electrical "socket" insert in the base? You're an incredible inspiration...you broaden our horizons. 10 🌟's

    To me, one of the most compelling areas of creating is the problem solving and ingenuity that goes into achieving a concept. The variety of ways there are to create and get from one point to another make everyones work unique. I love the idea that you wanted to build this big, huge stand and turn a little guy into a big, sweeping palm tree and that you found a way in spite of limitations. Those moments where you are compelled by an idea and just have to find a way to it are where ingenuity grows. Personally I wonder if there would be a way to sort of hook the forms, but I’m having trouble thinking of one. Solving the problem of making large pieces in small kilns is a good problem to think about.

    Please make a 2 clay pots with a filtering stone in the middle ,in South America we use this to keep drinking water at natural temperature and we used a wood stand to hold the pot with the filter stone On top and the one with the filter water in the bottom with a nice cup with a long handles to take the water out .. I cannot find anything like this in the United States and I will love to see you create one .

    Hiii I always wanted to do pottery, but have never gotten around to it, I have so many other projects, so I just watch it on KZread, I only found you today, and I am amazed at your skills! I do not know why some kiln company hasn’t sponsored you and sent you the kiln that you want, I believe you would like a bigger kiln(???). I believe your subscribers would agree. Who do we write to? I’ve NEVER even thought of doing this for another KZreadr … what kiln do you currently use (brand and size so we can make this happen for you)!!!! WHO’S WITH ME ON THIS!?

    Mia thank you for your work! I'm learning a lot from you. I'm new to ceramics. I see you didn't glaze your product. But it will be used next to the sink where the water is. Please tell us on your channel when it is important to cover the product with glaze and when it is not important. Flower pots are not necessarily glazed. Do I understand correctly? Is it normal to leave a flower vase outside without glaze completely or partially?

    Fantastic result. One question though: why do you let the pots dry in between coils? I’m guessing that’s so you have a firmer base for the next coil but I’ve not had that be a problem.

    You really love a big project😂😂 this came out very cool! This may be a silly question, but how do you figure out the sizing of the templates? I get the height, width, etc… but do you just do the angle of roundness (there is probably a word for this but 🤷‍♀️) by eye or is there some math involved? Or something I’ve not thought of?
