Lately I've been dipping my toes into the world of mechanical pottery, and I was so inspired by the ceramic artist Andrew Clark to create this locking jar! This pottery project was an emotional roller coaster. Enjoy the chaos!

    As a heads up, you could have left the gallery as you had it after throwing and then the locking disc could have been shaped like a teardrop (the technical term would be "cam"). When the knob is turned, the wider portion of the teardrop would rotate toward the middle of the lid and disengage with the gallery rim.

    As always, I love your videos, you speak as your thinking and all the processes you think you may use our not come out. That was meant to be a complement, promise, it's what makes your videos so enjoyable. It may sound chaotic to you, however you work through it and to help us understand you talk us through your though process. Don't ever stop. This was a technical nightmare and you worked it out. 🎉😮😊

    Unless that piece that exploded was the only piece in the kiln it was from moisture that made it explode! I can’t believe all the work you did to make this. What an amaaazing pot. I had to watch the part where you crated the arts several times to figure it out. lol. Should have am watched the end first to find out how it worked first. Very very cool!!

    Sometimes it helps to make a cardboard mockup to get a "function fit" for the way it goes. That way you can see if it's right or needs an alteration. Once the mockup works properly you can then commit to the risking of clay.

    I love it! I paint textured/mixed media abstract works, and my theme the past few months has been "alien artifacts from an archaeological dig on another planet," and this vessel looks like it'd fit in with everything from that theme. It's mysterious and looks ancient, but also a little extraterrestrial? I just love it.
