This is where some of the Oiyas (Ollas) I made last spring went. kzread.info/dash/bejne/lYOIm7CphsnZoKQ.html

Beautiful gifts, Eva!💝

Hello from Colorado, USA! Fun to watch you work! I took a ceramics course in art school but my lifelong career has been as a painter. Happy gardening!

Thank You very much, Raul. I am so happy if someone is watching. It is so much fun to do videos, and learn someting new!

Fantastic video! Throwing with a highly grogged clay is tough- I admire your skill and ability to do so and still have skin on your hands! 😂 Thanks for demonstrating the two part olla process! Also, nice tip on the speed of the wheel being faster lower down and slower higher up. 😀 I’m part Finnish so it’s nice to see your channel. I’m subbing!❤

For sure! Ollas were used by indigenous peoples in ancient times. Greetings to Texas, and Thank you.

I haven't thrown anything on a wheel in...30 years?! And I probably wasn't very good at it. LOL But, I need to make some of these--I'm sure it'll take me a few dozen tries, or more. Nice to see the process. Thanks for posting!

Thank You. 😂 Yes, it takes a long time and patience to learn to throw, but If I did anyone can! You can make Ollas from ready-made flowerpots too, just glue them together .....if you don’t want to spend time learning the wheel.😀

@@UDUMBARA_Helsinki Yeah, I saw a couple of videos with people gluing them together, which would work, but the cost if you're doing a lot of them is quite a bit. I can buy 50 lbs of clay for about $27, where as the pots (unless you can find them used) cost about $7 each. I'm also building my own kiln which will serve a secondary purpose as a paper burner and ash for compost/soil rejuvenation. ;)

Hi from Birmingham, Alabama ! Usa. I saw your gifts to the LaLanders & loved them. I'm sorry but they are just too pretty to cover with dirt! I love throwing clay but really suck at it! please make more videos - the music fit it perfectly. I'm a big fan of all the chateau vlogs in France. Thank you, Linda 🧚

Hej Linda and Thank you so much! It is fantastic how LaLanders connect people all around this globe 🌎! It is so much fun to follow them. I like their vlogs much more than any tv shows. Thank You for contacting!😊

Greetings from Ghana! Very inspiring! Hope to find the right clay here to experiment with this for our permaculture garden raised beds! Olla!

Wau! If you come across a brick factory, you might be able to obtain clay from there. O, consider reaching out to a local potter; they (maybe) can make Ollas for you. Thank you for your warm greetings❣

Thanks for sharing, and greetings from Canada.

Hello from Canada! I just found your channel this morning. I'm loving it! I was wondering what the company of your wheels are. I'm new to pottery and was wondering if you could recommend a beginner wheel? Thank you

Hello! Thank You very much. I work mostly with Shimpo ( Nidec) RK-55. It is perfect for learning. And I still like using it even though I have done pottery for 40 years. There is no need to buy wheels with big motors. Throwing pottery is a technique. This is the wheel I use with my students, too. It is a good way to learn to listen to the clay and not use too much physical power. All the best!

Do you leave the Olla in the ground in the winter? We've been discussing this in my class. We're in Canada and can go to -30C. Any chance of breaking? Thanks for your video

@UDUMBARA_Helsinki

Yes, it can break, and I would not. If there is water inside and freezes, it will break (as water expands when it freezes). Also, the frost expands the ground, too. Here in Finland, you can see how the frost breaks the roads every winter. It must be the same in Canada. All the best and thank you for watching🪴😘!

I have a nonfired or low fired native pot that is suddenly falling apart. How do I save it? Water seems to make it worse. 🤨

@UDUMBARA_Helsinki

If it is nonfired it will turn to sand if you use water on it and if it is a valuable pot, you should contact a ceramic restorer, restoration goes over my expertise. Hope you can save it.
