If we don't own a pottery wheel what makes you think we'll have a kiln ??
You can take it to your local kiln to get it fired I’m sure you’d have some in your area
@@sophiepetrovski3893 as someone living in Missouri.. in a small town.. I’ve never seen a kiln anywhere but my school..
@@beelzemobabbity I live in Missouri, kroggers pottery!!
I have a kiln no wheel...
@@martarosiak5569 then make one with some dirt. Thats how i fire my pieces. Good luck!
from my learning in ceramics class, you need a much thicker handle to hold the weight of such a big mug
!!!thiss
I thought it was just there to kinda make it look better and cute and stuff
Yeah I'd guess it's just decoration to make it more 'mug' like. I think most people would hold the mug without the use of the handle anyways because the weight would be more comfortable that way. I'd imagine holding only the handle would cause a very uneven weight. Maybe they should have a little disclaimer though about the fact the handles aren't suitable for actual use, and are just for decorative purposes!
Yeah but you can see that the mug itself is not thick so it’s not a problem. If she posted this is probably because she did this before and it’s good for her.
Yes I noticed too that she holds the mug itself with just her finger through the handle, so it’s more so for looks not functionality
I am a college student learning pottery in Korea! It's so beautiful how you make the cup with care. The cup is so pretty, too!☺️
I was just thinking about the korean drama Goddess of Fire! That’s a great opportunity for you to enjoy the beauty of Korean pottery ❤️❤️❤️
i hope you were lucky enough to learn the traditional techniques in Korea, i loove especially their glazing techniques. korean pottery is so much fun.
are you learning part time or full time?
Hola, por favor alguien sabe la referencia del secador de arcilla, gracias amigos.
I’m no expert but I recommend after scoring adding slip which is water and clay mixed together makes it very easy to attach the different parts 😁
Usually the case if the clay is a lot drier (leather-hard), otherwise after a few mins, scoring should be fine.

Mann it's so fulfilling, leaving everyone with a happy peaceful mind.
This is one of the most calming videos I've ever watched! Perfect for my anxiety ❤️
youre a queen for not gatekeeping the materials you use
Fyi The blue/transparent glaze is required because your mug won’t be food grade if you use acrylics after firing :D
thank you so much for the information! are you aware of any trustworthy brands selling transparent food-grade glazes for polymer clay?
@@notavailable2527 I don’t know if food-grade glaze without going through the kiln exist(because the firing process makes the glaze foodgrade), but I’ll probably start to look at coating for wood tableware??
can we put glaze on top of acrylics?
@@eylul-bq8dp I think they mean underglazes, not acrylic
Hello! I have the same question as juniper, can I paint my piece with acrylics and then glaze it with blue/ transparent glaze? By the way, thank you for your advice :D
This is so relaxing and sweet loves every second of it
This is so relaxing I want to make pottery now!! So excited to try it out!
I love your work so much! Great job and thank you so much for making content to help other creatives like myself get started!! love love love
Wow the cinematography and just everything was so aesthetic in this vid. Really enjoyed it
I know we might not have all the things needed but this is so aesthetic 💕
Beautiful editing!!! The hard work shows
omg!! this was so cute and fun to watch. i love the designs you painted on the mugs and how sweet and handmade looking the shapes of the mugs are. thank you for sharing :)
EVERYONE it’s not her fault that not everyone doesn’t have everything she used , she just tried to help with a different alternative! great video 💗
True but she shouldn’t have put at home if it clearly wasn’t
LMAO nobody has that mig asf oven because its specialized, she used clickbait and that's it bc nobody can make this from home
@@lucianabreceda3787 fair enough
well I can also put up a video of "cooking at home" while I go into a 5 star chef's kitchen and act surprised nobody else has appliances like that!
Seriously what is wrong with this comment section! For anyone wanting to build and make ceramics, do your research and realize it takes a kiln or high temp oven to cook your project (there’s no way outta that ) and she just gave us a short cut to take the wheel outta the equation. And as far as the small handle goes, ART IS ART. This was a great video! 💚
Such therapeutic video I literally watch this while having a headache and u inspire me to do pottery much love from India❤️
Starting pottery and I just discovered your videos. Great videos and I love the editing
everything about this is beautiful 💗
omgggg your work is just awesome! 💕💕💕
This is so relaxing, you don’t have the obligation to teach us your work so dont feel bad about the comments: )
Thank you for this. I’m inspired to make my own urns for my angel babies. I haven’t got ones that I like and this is a way to put my grief into my hands and make something with love ❤
Thank you so much for sharing this amazing video. I have watched it five times already, I love it 💕
This video was everything! I love the decorations on your mugs!!
Lola you have outdone yourself with your content the editing, thumbnail ,camera angles / shots , music. It is all so beautiful your editing is superb I gave been saying this since day one but you keep on improving well done Lola

what’s the song?
It's impossible to not like this video, like I'm getting a fresh bath of positive energy haha. So nicely done!
Love those kind of videos!!😍 You are so talented❤️
These are so lush! Been trying to find a video like this thank you!!! ❤️
You said we can make it in home what about heat :(
Oven
just microwave it😍😍😍🙌
What temperature should be required in microwave?
@@hetalchauhan6204 you can’t microwave it. You can’t bake it in your ovenat home. It needs like 1800° Fahrenheit
@@linneafrangipane5785 thank you 😊
It was so interesting to see the process of how these are made! Handmade things are ✨❤️ also great choice of music, this was super relaxing to watch 💫
🙏🙏🙏
🏺🤍☁️
i love the aesthetic of your mugs omg
thank you for this beautiful video 💕new clay arrives today, exited to try it ✨
This was the most lovely, beautiful, aesthetically pleasing video I’ve ever watched! 🤩 I love the ceramics too and the style!
The editing and aesthetic for this whole video is EVERYTHING 😍
this video was so pretty and very inspiring!!
I'm in love with this I'll make one ASAP thank you so much 💙💙💙
This gives me ideas! 😍
This editing is really good!
What a beautiful video!! My mom used to make and paint ceramics... this inspires me! 🤍
Love it! This is the type of pottery I'm wanting to do. So happy I found your channel.
Omg !! I've been wanting to make my own ceramic for so long this is perfect!!
i can’t wait!! that thumbnail looks so freaking aesthetic hahah - honeypot films
hahahaha it’s taken me so long to put together 🥺 hope you like it x
The result is really beautiful 😍
This is truly so soothing to watch, sit down and relax and watching what kind of magic you can create :) I have been a fan of ceramics myself and was thinking about giving it a shot from time to time, but will see :) thank you for sharing these videos with us and keep up the lovely work. All the best to you.
No wheel required... but a huge clay drier is 🤦🏽♀️😂
Yes, this is basic stoneware knowledge. A kiln is way hotter than a regular oven, so unless you'd like to burn your house down, you need a kiln.
Literally lmao, I'd guess the wheels are more affordable than the kiln hahaha. Not exactly something you can just do at home
some local ceramic places will let you fire your pieces! maybe ask around?
@@natsukikato7294 people just want everything to be sooo easy.. goddess
@@jenniferbarcelar4297 Some people cant afford it. Be more understanding ....
beautiful !!!! It makes me want to do it ! kisses from France
Omg your video is so relaxing to watch. I love it.
Super helpful thanks! And love the aesthetic 😌🤍
Grertinhs from Croatia. This was so relaxing to watch. Like poetry in clay 😁. Would love to know more about the program you use for editing.
hey babe I want to make some mugs for Christmas gifts for my family! I was wondering what are the best clay brands that you recommend there are so many 😅 I’d love your opinion! You’re so talented
Thank you. Your video make me feel comfortable. I love ceramic❤️
ur insane !!! so beautiful ✨
cries with acrylic nails haha x but this video is so BEAUTIFUL!! really enjoying doing it along !
Looks amazing... How long after turning the kiln off did you wait to take the mugs out?
Ta vidéo m’a tellement détendue merci ❤😊
So pretty! Thank you for sharing! 🥺💗
Thanks for using our tunes!!!! 💛🙏
In my neighborhood we have a ceramic artist I will defined ask her if she can bake (?😂)my mugs 🥰 My mom always buy ceramic plate sets from her as a gift to the family or friends.
Please tell me the name of dough which is used to make mugs n plates
I think it still looks beautiful and aesthetic 🌈❤️
just... wow !!! love this
why is everyone complaining about everything?? if you don’t have an oven specifically for ceramics you can’t do it all at home, you need to go to your local ceramic studio, isn’t that kinda self explanatory? she legit did nothing wrong and the mugs turned out super cute..
Then the title shouldn't be misleading, it clearly says "from home" why wouldn't expect people to be upset?
Because most of the people watching a DIY mug-making tutorial probably don’t know what a kiln is or why it can’t just be done in a kitchen oven. The title is targeting beginners/people who know absolutely nothing about pottery. How the fuck is “going to a local ceramic studio” self explanatory?
Hiiiii, waiting for this from México! 💗
omgg you are the best ✨🥺🥰
Such beautiful work of art.
This video was very inspiring and encouraging, thank you for sharing.
the most satisfying part about this video is that it's exactly 10 minutes long
😂
aside from the fact the last five mins is just her insta user n pic lol
Its not satisfying. She had far too little content for the video so she used rip off filler to get to 10 mins because thats the minimum to be able to add ads. Its lazy and greedy and she only did it for the money
@@emme6055 chill out dear. It do be like that sometimes
Loved this!! Do you skip a firing? Cause I see you glaze when it’s bone dry and not after a bisque fire, I have never seen that!
It’s my first time to see someone not bisque fire as well. I guess it’s the type of clay she used? Hopefully she’ll reply! :)
Maybe she uses underglazes ? I Mm confused as well :)
She replies to a few comments already but not this question? She should engage and have a Q&A so she can answer questions.
I’m a ceramic student so I can help you answer :D Bisque firing is important but not necessarily required for making ceramics, the technique she use is called “single firing”, when she glaze a bone dry ceramic and skipped bisque firing. It depends on the glaze you use but single firing has a risk of the glaze cracking, but if you use food-grade, commercial-use glazes like she did(I never use that), bisque firing is not really necessary
@@sometimesnotreally1683 do you know how long you should wait after it's been glazed to fire it? Like it there a certain amount of time it should be done within? Thanks☺️☺️ I just bought paint and clay and glaze but I'm not sure what the steps are
Omg, love your videos so much. I started to clay as well!
this is so beautiful and inspiring! thank you for your video
Everyone reading this, you’re awesome!
Isn't the handle too tiny for that big cup? I'm not an expert, just wondering.
What a beautiful job. Excellent video ❤
Watching this video was like a therapy for me ❤️
Cant we do it without that massive oven :(
nope. if they just dry out without the "oven" they will be very very fragile, can break even if touched wrong.
It’s possible if you just get air dry clay but you can’t glaze it without the oven (it’s called a kiln btw) but you can just paint it. Probably not suitable for drinking if you do that tho.
@Trashmouth Spinelli a normal oven isn't anywhere near hot enough!
@@saaral where can you find those ovens? are there specific places ?
@@Atena142 there are some ceramic studios where you can fire your pottery, also you can buy a small one for about $1,300 or so :)
can I put it in a oven on very high temperature because I don't have money for those big special ovens like this in your video? or if I use Air dry clay, it doesn't need to go to the oven, right?
The highest temperature an oven (from home) has, is not enough to fire ceramics. The air dry clay indeed doesn't need to go to the oven but you can't use it to eat/drink from it, only decorating ur house or put jewelry/keys in it. I don't have a professional oven either, but I managed to rent one from a ceramic school in my town. So you can search on google your local ceramic schools or art schools and send an email that you want to rent their oven. Someone will accept!
beautiful 👌🏼😍🤍🤍🤍🤍
Wow this looks like bliss
gotta get that 10 minutes in lol
Beautiful but, why is she wearing rings while doing this? 😂💛
I noticed. I thought it’s unreal. Anything for the video.
@@bluebiegrace1828 ... i wear rings while making pottery, there’s no problem with it
I'm assuming they're gold and won't rust or anything. If she wants to wear them, or is the kind of person never to take her rings off then why shouldn't she wear them?
I guess she doesn't mind wearing rings while doing that. Honestly, I would feel uncomfortable doing something like this with rings, as they would fill up with product or hinder me to do the details. But it's a matter of taste, I'm not telling her to take them off to do it, it just seems strange to me.
I thought I am the only when to notice this thing😂
yessssssss lady!!! the QUALITY on her 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Just subbed! 🌺I love your channel Loli thank you for simply being yourself and just doing what you love to do its so inspiring.
Don’t worry if you don’t have a kiln, chances are you have an arts center in your nearest town where you can fire things for a fee or a subscription.
Exactly!! This is totally doable and it’s nice she’s putting up a tutorial
So, it can't be done as a hobby without the big heaterfire machine?
Use air-dry clay :)
@@Chloe_888_ how can I make it so that I can actually use it to drink stuff out of?
Yes I am curious to know too! Tia.
I do at as a hobby and fire them at the local school..just ask around, some schools or craft stores may have a kiln (or ask local artists if you can use theirs) :)
Hey! I was inspired by this vid and made a mug ❤🥰
So inspiring and therapeutic.🤎🤎
The mugs handles don’t look like they will hold the weight of the liquid in the mug
Why is everyone in the comments talking about the kiln. Did she say its with no kiln no, she said it had no wheel required. she also said pottery from home not easy diy pottery from home. Read the titles lol
...how many people have a kiln in their home???? she even had to leave her house to use it, so it's not even "pottery from home" lol 😂😂😂. it's clickbait, plain and simple.
It's soo aesthetic✨
you have great fine motor skills! I've always wanted to do this. Thanks for sharing
if any of y'all want to do this at home I recommend buying air dry clay because it just naturally dries and you don't need a kiln
Most non-kiln clays arent food grade...
I really thought i could do that at home 🤦🏻♀️
I found you today! And I’ve been enjoying binge watching your videos omgggeee
Waiting from Melbourne! Out of lockdown but still in bed watching your vids ❤️☺️
Wow it’s gorgeous !!
Really helpfull! As someone who doesnt have a wheel and is just starting i loved it!
this video is so perfect!!
Wow. A mug without a wheel. Thanks for posting this ❤️
love ur videos so so much :) granted i don't make pottery, ur vlogs esp inspire me as a small business owner as well x
ive been struggling with my pottery because im a beginner and this really helped! i made my first ever mug thanks to you :)
can you tell me from where you have bought the colours?
Thanks a lot ❤ they look amazing just like you. Keep it up ❤
Oh it looks so good ❤️
