I appreciate the seam being used as both part of the design and emphasising the process. Thanks for posting.

Thank you… you get it.. why hide the process… enhance it

I was searching whole world and here you are, just beside me. Love your work 🙏 Looking forward to learn more from.your videos.

I was mesmerised watching you work! Thank you so much for sharing your techniques! Your pieces are really wonderful!

This is an excellent video. Outstanding work !

Thank you for sharing. I loved your technique's presentation.

Great! I just saw your page on Esty before coming here. Small world!!!!! Love your work!!!

Love this! What a clever idea! Thanks for the inspiration. :)

You have a wonderful technique, a pleasure to watch.

Love your patterns! Thanks for the video and inspiration! I'm heading to the hardware store to make some tools similar to yours, then get my hands in clay!

enjoyed your video....learned a thing or two. I love the detail, I do extreme detail too. The green tumbler is my favorite with the off set line areas..Great work. Thank you for sharing :)

Gorgeous work, love the detail. Thank you ❤

Glad it helped you and inspired you

Very awesome! as always!!! Congrats!!!!

Great stuff! Really enjoyed this!

love your work!

Hi, It is a plastic sheet similar to a table mat, that I am using. Got them from a friend. They do stick on the clay even though it doesn't apear so. I dust my clay with cornstarch to avoid that sticking. Another thing that works well is XRays

Well done. Great music.

Thanks for the info, Charan. I really appreciate your helpful suggestions. I'd love to see more in depth video on the "painted tiles" you made (peeling up the paper was just a teaser)! Materials, products used, technique wold be much appreciated. I am a sculptor primarily, and am always looking for great surface techniques. Bambi

beautiful! thanks for sharing your skills

Duh. The Henna cone is brilliant. OF COURSE! What could possibly be better?

Spectacular!

Very enjoyable. Music was nice also.

Namastey, Thanks for sharing your video. Good technic of working. Am taking your example.

Sharing this with my students thank you!

Charan-I am very impressed with the quality of your work, and your nifty "tools". I have been looking all over town and on the internet for mylar and can find none. I like the control you seem to have with your mylar "tubes". Can you direct me to your source for mylar? Thankyou. Bambi Anderson

Really interesting to watch! I admire your meticulous attention to detail. I wouldn't have nearly the patience necessary for this kind of work!

Thanks so much. Tomorrow we are making mugs in the children's class I teach and I picked up a few pointers even though I've made many hb mugs before. I use the wallpaper brayer a lot.

@vrlooney The roller is a wall paper brayer you can get at a home improvemnt store. The texture tool for making parallel lines I made myself and the texture tools I got at thrift stores. And I use a cookie cutter for the bottom. Others are just basic clay working tools you can get at any clay supply store.

@venetiancat That is right. You can see through my other videos and see how I make the henna cone as well for sliptrailing.

That is very nice!

Absolutely beautiful, and I love the colorful, happy delicate patterns. Looks like you are using a henna cone to apply the slip trailing?

@potterylady1 Thanks! Glad you like my work.

Yes you are from Etsy! Beautiful.

@TeresaGagne That is cool. Do post pictures. I would love to see them.

Hi Bambi, Mylar paper is nothing but metallic gift wrapping paper. Check your local stationary shops and even dollar stores. I have used clear gift wrapping paper too. It just needs to be something that doesn't absorb the water from the slip. Experiment with different ones to see which stiffness you like better.

I love the video Handbuilt cups. I wonder what the dimensions on the pattern are. It looks like it is slightly bigger on the top than bottom. I would love the dimensions .

Do you such beautiful work. Thank you for showing your process. Can I ask you a question? How do you keep your tumblers round at top consistently ? I would think that even though you use an egg to round it clay has memory and would tend to warp to a somewhat elliptical shape after glaze firing. Thank you.

Good question. The egg or any rounded form helps and I use it every time I touch the mug in any step. First while forming, then when attaching the bottom l, then when adding buttons, and when adding the handle. That forces to clay memory to stay in the round again and again. They are not perfect to round still, but if I wanted it perfectly round I would just throw on the wheel. Hope that explains it

WOW! That was the quickest response ever. Thank you! It makes sense that you keep reinforcing the clay memory. I do realize that the tumbler will never be perfectly round but as a wanna be hand builder my attempts have always yielded a pointier side where the clay attaches. I appreciate your generosity in sharing your knowledge. Thank you again.

Tar paper works well too, but can be a little flimsy when cutting along the edge.

Cool!!!

Where do you get all your gadgets? On line?

to what cone do you fire your clay?

where can find this music?

Anybody who makes pots with John McLaughlin is alright with me.

Oops...handbuilt tumblers....

Quite an intricate process! Next time don't wear a logo shirt as it detracts.

Instead of the irritating music you should have given some explanations of your methodology and tools being used. Although apparently obvious for the advanced potterer, this did nothing for me.
