potterylife hashtag performance

#potterylife showcases the artistry of pottery, celebrating creativity, craftsmanship, and the joy of shaping clay. It features techniques, inspirations, community connections, handmade creations, and the therapeutic nature of pottery-making.

This month on our online membership, we have a new course that teaches you to make these closed form lidded jars. I am in love with throwing these forms and hope you will join me at the wheel with this project. If joining a membership is not your vibe, we also have an option to purchase the course and it does not expire so you can revisit the lessons over and over until you have a village of lidded jars. #pottery #ceramics #handmade #clay #art #ceramic #ceramicart #stoneware #potterylove #wheelthrown #handmadepottery #handmadeceramics #tableware #contemporaryceramics #potterystudio #artist #glaze #potter #potterylife #potteryteacher #potterythrow #potterythrowing #jar #ceramicjar #handmadejar #closedformliddedjar #pottersoftiktok #potterytutorial #potterylesson #potteryhowto

Normally our glazing videos includes me opening a large bucket and stirring vigorously to be sure the glaze if fully mixed, but we wanted to glaze each ornament a different color so we have gone miniature with glazing these small ornaments. I also had to get creative in drying these ornaments since if I set them on the table, they would surely mess up the glaze application. Having said that I didn’t want to hold them till dry so a little creativity was necessary. A couple of kiln posts and a dowel is the exact thing I needed to hang these to dry as I finish glazing the other ornaments. Finally wadding is applied to the bottom so they can stand up in the kiln. This will ensure they don’t fall over and get stuck to another pot or kiln shelf. I apply the wading in a coil so that I can easily break the wadding away after the firing. This way the hanger stays in tact and doesn’t break when I break away the wadding. So many things to think about when making these wonderful holiday baubles. #pottery #holiday #ornament #handmadeornament #ceramicornament #ceramics #handmade #clay #art #ceramic #ceramicart #stoneware #potterylove #instapottery #wheelthrown #handmadepottery #pottersofinstagram #handmadeceramics #tableware #contemporaryceramics #potterystudio #artist #glaze #potter #potterylife #potteryteacher #potterytrim #potterytrimming

So it seems to be official, Tiktok is shutting down on the 19th. Thank you everyone for all the questions and comments on my tutorials! I love making them and will continue to do so on my Instagram page. I will also be moving to Youtube as well so stay tuned for that 🤗 You can also find me and all my tutorials and more on twistedclayonline.com. #pottery #ceramics #handmade #clay #art #ceramic #ceramicart #stoneware #potterylove #instapottery #wheelthrown #handmadepottery #pottersofinstagram #handmadeceramics #tableware #contemporaryceramics #potterystudio #artist #glaze #potter #potterylife #potteryteacher #potterylife #potteryteacher #potterylesson #potteryhowto #potterytutorial

The last part of the process on these ornaments was the remove the wadding and hang these little gems. I make my wadding from 50% EPK (Kaolin) and 50% Alumina Hydrate. You mix these two dry materials with water into a clay-like consistency. Wadding breaks much easier than clay so I wouldn’t try this with clay. I think it would not remove as easily as wadding. Having said that, wadding breaks easily with a hammer and wood chisel. You just want to be sure that you don’t place the chisel right where the wire is so you don’t break the hanger. I hope you are having a wonderful holiday and are able to enjoy time with family and not let the stress of this time of year get you too much! New Year is right around the corner and I am ready to help you achieve your new year goals with all the courses that Twisted Clay Online has planned for next year. We are going to have a great year together! #pottery #ceramics #handmade #ornaments #ceramicornaments #handmadeornaments #clayornaments #clay #art #ceramic #ceramicart #stoneware #potterylove #instapottery #wheelthrown #handmadepottery #handmadeceramics #tableware #contemporaryceramics #potterystudio #artist #glaze #potter #potterylife #potteryteacher #potterythrowing #potterywheel #potterylesson #potterytutorial #potteryhowto

This week we made our first recurring quarterly donation to Cerf+. Thanks to the sales of The Bringle Tool in the last quarter of 2024, we donated over $800. The tragedy in California this week reiterates, for us, why this charity tool and this type of sustaining support is so important. The climate crisis will continue to effect our communities. We want to make sure craftspeople have the resources they need to rebuild and bring beauty back into the world. Endless thanks to Cynthia Bringle for letting us manufacture and sell her storied design. #garritytools #potsinaction #ceramics #ceramicswheel #throwingwheel #throwingtool #potteryrib #throwingrib #instapottery #ceramicsstudio #potteryclass #pottery #potterywheel #wheelthrowing #wheelthrown #handthrown #potterytools #handtool #sculptingtools #ceramicstool #ceramicist #handmadeisbetter #claylife #ceramiclife #claylove #potterylife #climatecrisis

Replying to @user1984017601702 There are a couple tricks to fix an uneven foot. Here’s how I troubleshoot uneven trimming #pottery #ceramics #handmade #clay #art #ceramic #ceramicart #stoneware #potterylove #instapottery #wheelthrown #handmadepottery #pottersofinstagram #handmadeceramics #tableware #contemporaryceramics #potterystudio #artist #glaze #potter #potterylife #potteryteacher #potterylife #potteryteacher #potterylesson #potteryhowto #potterytutorial #potterytrim

This month’s online course is closed form lidded jars. This clip is a little snippet from the troubleshooting on the form where I throw a knob on the original form. There is of course a lot more shaping to do on this pot, but all of my online courses include plenty of troubleshooting from problems that came up with students when I was teaching it in my in person studio. These closed form pots are so fun to make! I hope you will join me at the wheel and make some closed form lidded jars of your own! I have decided to extend the holiday sale thru the 15th of January so there is still time to take advantage of the promotion. #pottery #ceramics #handmade #clay #art #ceramic #ceramicart #stoneware #potterylove #instapottery #wheelthrown #handmadepottery #pottersofinstagram #handmadeceramics #tableware #contemporaryceramics #potterystudio #artist #glaze #potter #potterylife #potteryteacher #potterythrow #potterythrowing #jar #ceramicjar #handmadejar #closedformliddedjar

This is a bit of a continuation of the previous post which was how to cover your thrown pieces without messing them up. The next place where work can get messed up is uncovering and removing pots from the board. Sometimes they get stuck. You can wire them again, but you will definitely loose a little clay from the bottom and potentially mess them up. I like to twist and lift from the bottom in order to release them from the board and turn them on their rim to finish drying. #pottery #ceramics #handmade #clay #art #ceramic #ceramicart #stoneware #potterylove #instapottery #wheelthrown #handmadepottery #pottersofinstagram #handmadeceramics #tableware #contemporaryceramics #potterystudio #artist #glaze #potter #potterylife #potteryteacher #potterylife #potteryteacher #potterylesson #potteryhowto #potterytutorial

This lamps course is by far my favorite to date. I have become a little bit obsessed with this shape as you can see from all these forms. I’m by far not done with this form though and I hope you will join me in this course that is included in our online membership or available for purchase for long term access. The forms highlighted in this video are just a few examples of the possibilities when learning to make lamps at the wheel. I can’t wait to see all the lamps you all make from watching this course! #pottery #ceramics #handmade #clay #art #ceramic #ceramicart #stoneware #potterylove #instapottery #wheelthrown #handmadepottery #pottersofinstagram #handmadeceramics #tableware #contemporaryceramics #potterystudio #artist #glaze #potter #potterylife #potteryteacher #potterythrow #potterythrowing #lamp #ceramiclamp #handmadelamp #potteryhowto #potterytutorial #potterylesson

PART 2 is posted! Learning how to cover your work so it doesn’t dry too fast is such an important skill. When pots are freshly thrown it can be tricky to cover tightly without messing up your pots. This is a little video on how I cover my work so that it doesn’t dry too fast and also doesn’t get distorted. #pottery #ceramics #handmade #clay #art #ceramic #ceramicart #stoneware #potterylove #instapottery #wheelthrown #handmadepottery #pottersofinstagram #handmadeceramics #tableware #contemporaryceramics #potterystudio #artist #glaze #potter #potterylife #potteryteacher #potterylife #potteryteacher #potterylesson #potteryhowto #potterytutorial

Replying to @Beagle_Momma3 Sorry for the super late response 😅 Here are some of the hole cutting tools I have and how I use them! I have in depth tutorials on twistedclayonline.com for those who want a thorough tutorial on how to make holes. Our Garlic Keeper and Berry Bowl courses are the best for mastering this skill. You can get 15% off our online membership now as we’ve extended our holiday deals 🤗 Link in Bio #pottery #ceramics #handmade #clay #art #ceramic #ceramicart #stoneware #potterylove #instapottery #wheelthrown #handmadepottery #pottersofinstagram #handmadeceramics #tableware #contemporaryceramics #potterystudio #artist #glaze #potter #potterylife #potteryteacher #potterythrow #potterythrowing #lamp #ceramiclamp #handmadelamp #potteryhowto #potterytutorial #potterylesson

The long awaited sponge on a stick demo. I have had a request many times to teach you all how to make this tool. We make these for our beginner tool kits at Twisted Clay and they work great! I have used a lot of different sponge on a stick tools and this is a simple cost effective way to make a sponge tool that will help you soak up the water from the base of your pot. Also! I’m going live tomorrow morning on twistedclayonline to answer questions!

Happy New Year Everyone!! This year is full of new projects that I know will challenge you and help you learn important skills at the wheel. I hope you will start a free trial of our Twisted Clay Online Membership and make 2025 the year that you see huge growth in your wheel skills. I am so excited to be starting the year out with a new course on throwing closed forms. This is a tricky project but one worth pursuing. Even though it's not a faster way to make lidded pots, I do feel like the lid fits so much better than when thrown separately. They look like they belong together because they were once one piece. Also, once I started throwing closed forms, I was hooked. It is one of the most satisfying things to do at the wheel! In this course we explore two different ways to make a closed form lidded jar. We are making small trinket jars that have many use from salt or sugar jars to storing small items. These jars could also be scaled up once you get the hang of this way of working. Join me at the wheel! This course is online starting today. I can't think of a better way to start out 2025 than challenging yourself to improve at the wheel! #pottery #ceramics #handmade #clay #art #ceramic #ceramicart #stoneware #potterylove #instapottery #wheelthrown #handmadepottery #pottersofinstagram #handmadeceramics #tableware #contemporaryceramics #potterystudio #artist #glaze #potter #potterylife #potteryteacher #potterythrow #potterythrowing #jar #ceramicjar #handmadejar #closedformliddedjar

This video is a little peak at my Lamps Course. When teaching this project, I think it helps to visualize all the different ways you can change a shape by changing the order of the sections that go into each video. I am so in love with this course and I hope you will join me online to make a lamp of your own! #pottery #ceramics #handmade #clay #art #ceramic #ceramicart #stoneware #potterylove #instapottery #wheelthrown #handmadepottery #pottersofinstagram #handmadeceramics #tableware #contemporaryceramics #potterystudio #artist #glaze #potter #potterylife #potteryteacher #potterythrow #potterythrowing #lamp #ceramiclamp #handmadelamp #potteryhowto #potterytutorial #potterylesson
