I think remaking the shade would give you 'long term" pleasure. It's a delightful lamp & deserves a delightful top. 😊

I vote for you to remake the shade! And veil Gluck!

same! i'd even vote for one without holes, to put even more emphasis on the light coming out underneath ❤

What I like the most is that you show us all the mistakes in the process as it is in real life. Beautiful lamp anyways❤

I feel a strange affection for the lamp base that got squished because you put it together too fast. Blob Lamp! Short and wonky! Sometimes we are all Blob Lamp. It's really cool seeing you poke all those holes in the lampshade after marking them out with the ruler. They make such a pleasingly regular pattern! Except for that one line down the side... My favourite thing about these videos is watching you take the prompt from the show and go in your own direction with it and make what you want to make. I just love it when people express their creativity in their own way and bring their own personal vision to life. And you're absolutely right that the lamp turned out great! Cozy is exactly the right word! I think the lampshade looks neat the way it is, but if I were you I'd remake it... just because if I were you I'd be nervous about bumping into the pointy bits! That's me, though. I think the real question is whether this lampshade or a remade lampshade would make you happier to see in your home, and I can't answer that one for you.

Use the broken lampshade with the blob bottom and it can be a piece about how imperfect can still be beautiful!

I have to thank you for pointing out the Great Canadian Pottery Throw Down, because I've been able to find episodes online, and whenever I visit my Mom, we're able to watch it together. She doesn't find a lot of shows she looks forward to, and loves Pottery Throw Down, so this was a nice treat to bring to her.

I have a few thoughts~ >I want to say how much I admire you for finishing the piece even after the heartbreak of the "misfire," and completing the video! The way I would have walked away from the whole thing and scrapped it all... I appreciate your example! Because the final piece has great character! >With the breakage, you have a kind of "live edge" situation going on and I like it! >My suggestion is to create a new lamp shade, buy a fabric or paper one, *and* keep the first one. Then you'll have choices!! 😉

I definitely felt like giving up in that moment! Making a video held me accountable 😆

I think I would work with the damage and find inspiration from it, more than likely introducing other materials. It’s a delicate thing making something that looks really cool, but by weaving a thread like jute/leather or linen string (or even a knitted net cover) using the holes here and there it would be fun to try and see where it goes... You can always just make another lampshade, but on the other hand you might turn it into something even more fabulous by honouring the damage. If you decide to make another lampshade how about turning the damage one upside down and make it into a cool hanging plant thing by attaching some rope (macrame?) through the holes. Anyway, great job, Mia. Thanks for sharing. You have a lovely lamp whatever you do.

Make another but keep the first as well. Change them up according to your mood. I like the broken but changing shades is always fun. Btw the base is beautiful. Love the raw clay.

I think the broken one has its charm! You should keep it 😊✨

I like your lamp shade. I can understand if you want to remake it but the chipped side actually looks pretty cool. If you decide to keep the current one maybe you could chip the unbroken side a little so everything looks like modern take on a scalloped edge.

oh thats an interesting idea :)

Definitely do another shade and show us!! You can use the broken pieces of pottery in the bottom of flower pots.. I’m sure you have tonnes of other uses for it too! You’re great to show your successes and the blobs! 😂❤❤

Thank you for always sharing the warts as well as your success. I would make a second lamp shade, well actually a third because that is how we grow and when you see the lamp every day, you will remember overcoming adversity, whereas seeing the broken piece will remind you that you gave up before the job was done.

Chicago here (kind of close to your old hood). I love old stuff with a lot of imperfections, but unless you rough up the sphere (put some major dents in it or a hole), to give it balance, I think in this case making a new shade would be better. Plus you might sleep better by giving yourself some real closure on the project, lol. I'm kind of talking from personal experience on that. But I am soooo glad I saw this video because I'm gearing up to doing a lamp soon, so thanks or that nudge and being a great teacher!

While I love the swirled look of the current lampshade, I think I would remake it. Cool design! Thanks for sharing your success and mishaps. Ceramics is a humbling art form!

humbling indeed 😂 thanks for watching ❤️

Remake is a must. Very nice, cute and cosy lamp!

I love the broken, textured edge. It has so much character and really tells the story of your reclaim and hard work in making it. I also love how the light from behind emphasizes the uneven edge. As someone else has said, you could always make a new shade and then swop them over when ever you feel like it. I really enjoy watching you work and that you are not perfect. Seeing how you overcome problems in different ways is very encouraging to me. Thank you so much.

I love that you share the failures as well as the successes. I think remaking the lampshade is the best option. ❤

You are so great. You show what happens with a fail, now we know. I love the look. I would keep it. I can't wait to make one. Thanks.

I'm also a fan of rough and natural torn edge look. Thanks for sharing your adventure with us.

wow! I love it! Broken or unbroken. The clay color is so great with the light coming through. Great shape too.

I think you should remake the shade. Great job. It’s beautiful!!!❤

I really hope the US does a pottery throwdown and you can be on it!!!!

You can make a lint with macrame/tassels...a bit vintage vibe. Beautyfull lamp👌💯

I love how it turned out even with its faults, but I think I would have to remake the shade… 😊

I hope it doesn't come off as rude, but I love to see you fail. Not so much as satisfaction, but yes satisfaction... I can't express myself properly, my head is all sick, but: Someone as cool as you, with as cool ideas as yours and your skills, do make mistakes. You don't give up, and that's admirable

I've had some awful weeks at work and seeing you fail but persevere has made me feel so much better. It's so beautiful, love the colour of the clay. The broken shade gives it a lot of character. Good luck with whatever you choose to do

Leave it the way it is, Plenty of character. I wan't expecting the clay to become so red, I like it

I vote for remaking the shade. Is it possible to make star shaped cutouts instead of round holes? That would look great! Love your channel ❤

Nice work! I think you should totally remake the lampshade.

I really want to try the two bowls attaching to each other but I feel I’m too beginner to do it. Thanks for this video. I laughed at a few parts of it. I’m your big fan now.

The lamp has a lovely organic shape - like a forest mushroom (or toadstool :) The cap is typically ragged in places along the edge - in my opinion it's perfect!

I think you should keep it. If not, transform it. Also, what about the art of kintsugi on a broken piece in the future?

@PotterytothePeople

Yess I have been meaning to try that :)

I like the broken edge!

As a woodturner who likes to make natural edge bowls I would keep the "damaged" shade, adds character to it.

Sorry but that was a great laugh. Glad you stuck with it. Impressive

I think you should break it all around to make it appear as though the broken texture is a deliberate part of the design!

Love this! I like the raggedy shade. But would love to see more lamps. Stunning when the light shines through.

I would definitely re-make the shade... it's a beautiful lamp 😍

following along with that show is a great idea.

Yes remake exactly same look .. it’s awesome

Great video 😊

It looks so good, I think remaking the shade will bring you the most joy from the project. Once more , an excellent episode

Two options: chip around the entire shade so all of the bottom edge is rough and broken all around (which may break it completely) or re-throw it. I vote re-throw. Regardless it is a very cute lamp! Still enjoyed the build!

So good to see you work thru all the challenges! We all learned!

I really like imperfect things and I love the result. I won't tell you what you should do but, if I did end up remaking this lamp, I would try to recreate that scruffy finish of the top.

That was wonderful and yes you should make the shade again. Could you also make a video on lamp parts - where to find them, how to wire them up, etc. I'm currently making a lamp myself and finding it hard to source information.

lovely! I do love that you can see the different clays in the broken lamp shade part, if you do remake it or use a cloth lamp shade, maybe you can use bits of the first lamp shade to decorate the new one, or attach bits of it to the body of the lamp. as always, I really enjoy your process and these videos :D

I love watching your process, successes and challenges, all of it is so inspiring. Keep up the amazing work and PLEASE keep making videos!!!

I really like the shade - it tells a story ❤

What a beautiful and unique lamp 🙏🙂 that realy lights up your day 💥

I love, that you took the challenges. I guess you learned a lot. I don't know if I would rebuild the shade or adhans the misstake (like these japanish tradition)...I like the ruff edges so I would try to shape them a bit more.

Loving this series!!!

I’d remake the shade & just take what you like about the break & incorporate it into the new shade

Looks like my picture of recent eclipse.. nice chipped of rim adds character.

Well done to you 👏 I love the lamp and shade unglazed and the proportions are just lovely, but there’s a but 😆 you should make the shade again 😊

Remake, it is so cool!

the tasty colour of your reclaim clay is gorgeous, shame about the shade, but id make it again as the 'pattern' was good and they looked great before bisc. another great make. ive been watching the series on you tube as i cant get it any other way so good luck with the next challenge and the fluent german during the spring and summer x

remake. It is so cozy cute.

I think you should re-do the project and I'll buy this one from you! ❤️❤️

5:17 Hein sight 20/20, what if you kept the top one on the batt but supported it up? Like, the kiln shelf supports supporting the batt. I wonder if it would still droop but droop in a different way? The shade, I think I would've gone too far and made the top look like it was pillowed/ quilted. I would like to see you remake the top and maybe turn the existing one into kensugi? Or add to it? I love the layers

I’m enjoying that the broken edge lets more light out. Can you deliberately break more?

I think I would glace the top in a way so it would look like you wanted it to be like that. I mean to play with the colours. Greetings from Berlin in Germany 😂😂😂

remake it so that you can see your original vision for the piece, As always very much enjoyed the journey you shared

I think leaving the lamp shade reminds you of the journey. Put the broken part towards the wall?

It looks nice with the lights on.

Is there a way to smooth and seal the broken shade?? That way it'll stay like that and not... Crumble?? Or cut anything/anyone.. and u would still be able to see all those amazing layers!!

Remake shade!

Re make the ceramic lampshade. When we get tired of a project, it is natural to settle but you now know what to do.

Remake the shade but cut stars and constellations into it this time

Remake the top!!

I would try and break the lampshade all the way around and see what it looks like with a chainette fringe around it

It is a lamp with hints of conceptual art. You just need to write a postulate about its breakage and that's it! 🤣

hahaah truth

I think you will want to remake the shade.

Why not try cutting the broken edge off with an angle grinder or something first? then decide if you want to make a new one.

Great video! For the shade, you could remake it if you really want the designer look (maybe make it out of a different color clay for contrast?) but if your fine w/ the prehistoric look, you could (maybe?) break the rest of the edges. Also, I think it's interesting to see the transition between the broken and the unbroken sides. It's kind of like half of it went back to how it was when it was "new" and the other half stayed "old". You could also just remake the shade, and break the edges so you can switch it up whenever. Sorry For this being so long of an explanation :/

my heart wants an unbroken shade.. but also i feel for the broken one. can the broken bottom be sanded down .. or perhaps crack the unbroken sections so its all raw at then end

Homogenous really caught me off guard lmaoo

I've never heard it pronounced that way before.

Keep it and build a new one. Are you leaving it raw or are you going to glaze it?

Remake the shade. I think the base deserves it.

Why your wedging board doesn't move? Mine (I made it following your instructions) moves every time I apply pressure...

Question, when you let your 2nd-attempt thrown piece dry overnight, did you wrap them in plastic or just leave them uncovered overnight? (Section before you covered the 2 pieces with blue plastic to homogenize.)

@PotterytothePeople

I left them uncovered but my studio is in a basement so things dry slow!

Definitely remake, but take the qualities you like about the busted one and incorporate intentionally into the new one.

Remake it!
