How I make my "abundance" candleholders
This is the first part of the process, where I make the base part of the candleholder itself and the body, the upper arms and breasts. In the next part I will be making the lower arm, the hands and combine everything together/ This is the first video I made with my new camera and editing software just to try them out and learn how to film and edit, as a matter of fact I need to change my editing software because it took me a day to edit these 4 minutes. Next will I will find a faster program and continue to upload better and longer videos I hope. In the meantime enjoy and please ask any question, I am happy to answer. Have a great day!

Always wanted to try out painting with oxides as they are, only with water. This is the firs time I tried it, hope it gives you inspiration to go on and try it yourself maybe one day.

This is the timelaps of me sculpting a small white eartenware fox. It takes me about 15 minutes to get to the end of the first stage. After that I wait about 12 hours and then make final adjustments and paint them. If you would like to see more please visit my instagram

    So you want to be a potter? Oh take this marketing and business class then. After all the business classes take one class in pottery. Yeah i think that's the reality. If you cant sell it you store it somewhere. It makes me sad because we get a chance to be creative but the bulk of the work is figuring out what sells, what market and how to sell it then carrying and setting up pots.

    Beautiful work Imelda. I to am fascinated by oxides but they have o be tamed too. - Do you have recipes for your oxide mixes? - Do you add EPK or Gerst. Borate to that? Add a little EPK to the mix and that will help slow down the melting & prevent full run to bottom. - What clays? The white looks like Bmix with Speckles. And the Red is ?? - cone?

      You could possibly fire it in the saw dust technique, so the carbon of the burnt saw dust will seal the pores and also give it a glaze like effect

    Hi Imelda! You look so nice with short or long hair! Thank you for your videos. Yes, custom orders can have a lot of pressure... especially when you have such a HUGE order! Even 1 custom order for me I freak out (not pottery). lol I am going to start handbuilding ceramics when I get my birthday money to go buy supplies end of this month! I am so excited! I have the same dilemma as you and other ceramicists... what to make and also has to be unique. The other thing I really want to learn about is the kiln and making sure I do the right thing! Also need access to a kiln as I cannot afford one right now. I look forward to your next video! :)

    @KitoSan828 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Imelda I wanted you to know as someone just now starting off as a potter I am still struggling (in a small way) with what exactly to make. Like yourself I too enjoy making utilitarian ware (Coffee mugs, bowls, etc.). So I decided to focus on just two things (coffee mugs and bowls) just because everyone uses one or the other often several times a day. I know that there are a lot of other artists out there making coffee mugs, but my goal is to produce these and show them on my Facebook and Instagram account to get a feel for what other's think about my work, and use that as a way of determining where I go from there. Even within the idea of making "just" coffee mugs and bowls, there are a lot of differing styles and design possibilities. And I have seen for myself that a person can be profitable just making coffee mugs alone. I still work a full time job, and I have another part time job.

    • @imeldaclayfigures4110
      @imeldaclayfigures4110 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi Amanda ( please forgive me if I miisspelled your name). Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts, feelings, and experiences in trying to work as a full time potter/ceramic artist. I didn't start out knowing what to make, but I did know that my studio space is small and I too enjoy making functional pottery. Because there are a lot of coffee houses and coffee drinkers where I live, I decided to start by making coffee mugs. I pursue my production like a job, and I still work a full time job and a part time job.

      @imeldaclayfigures4110 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Diana Figueroa Thankyou! Yes I think someone can learn ceramics and pottery alone at home, in an auto didactic way, but will need good tutorials and practice. Exactly like someone can learn to draw or to cook alone. It’ s just a skill like any other. With that said, I also have to say that someone needs an autodidactic personality, which means have confidence in themshelf that they can learn stuff alone. Good luck! 🦄
