- VLOG 33 Noel uses cultery and kitchenware from the caravan to get messy with mud! All is forgiven because he delivers an engaging step-by-step account of the clay filtration process and an illustrative journal of creative transformation. The gentle slow-living vibe is a refreshing antidote to the pace of modern life. We hope you find it wholesome and relaxing to watch.
This process is incredible. I now appreciate how hard our ancestors had to work to create their household goods. Clay from your own land and make this beautiful pot. Thank you.
It feels very primitive and a lovely way to connect with the land… and yes the ancestors.
Loved watching your creative process. Creativity: the most reverant form of prayer. Creating from the land: priceless. I can see it now... sitting in the window of the finished cottage... complete with a few small wildflowers from the field. ❤
Beautiful words Julie. We also need the dolls, Ralph, Maisie and Winnaker sitting beside the case of flowers! 😊🙏❤️
Captivating! What amazing skill ! Out of the earth with very few tools watching an Artist create a thing of such beauty…Amazing!!
Thank you Noel ❤
It’s remarkable that it’s using raw material from the field. Really satisfying. Thanks for your kind words Helen. 👍❤️
Well done Noel, it's a beautiful pot! I'm looking forward to seeing how he fires it. He has the patience of a saint! It's like he is on a retreat there, hard work, creativity and isolation. Surrounded by nature.
Yes, he does go quite feral and primitive once he’s out there alive. But he’s home now for a week or so. I’d love to develop it as a retreat where others can visit in the future. 😊❤️
@@TheHiddenHouseIreland I can see that as a real possibility! Reconnective Healing and pottery/sculpture.
Noel the pot is looking fantastic both tctill next time the oldies 🤗🤗
Thanks Ann ❤️
Love the pot! Took me back 60 + years to my teacher training days in the North when we used primitive methods including that one in our pottery classes!
A bit of nostalgia there then Adelaide. 😊🙌
So beautiful what a talented chap you are 😊 fascinating thank you
What an amazing find (a property full of clay!!!). Thanks for sharing this process
We’re very lucky. That field has really helped us out. 😊
The clay pot is absolutely beautiful Noel a work of art. I love the etchings on it also. Looking forward to seeing your beautiful cottage developments
Thanks Annie 😊
That’s a gorgeous pot Noel. That was a wonderful video -so informative. Thank you.
You’re welcome Maeve. Glad you enjoyed it. 🙌
The vase to this point is lovely! I look forward to seeing how you proceed with bisque firing and how the final piece turns out. Magnificent earthenware!
You sound very knowledgeable Frances, are you a potter yourself? 😊
@@TheHiddenHouseIreland I was for several years. I had both a wheel and kiln and gave both to exceptionally talented young women who aspired to become full-time artisans. With retirement not too far off, I’m looking forward to nurturing my creative spirit - perhaps hand-building or experimenting with raku again. I haven’t worked with ‘wild’ clay so watching Noel was inspiring.
@@FrancesAnnSquire That’s fascinating to know. Would love to see your raku firing. Do keep in touch. ❤️
Absolutley amazing, so gifted Noel, I found that relaxing and therapeutic....
It was quite ASMR in places wasn’t it. 😊
What a beautiful video. Thank you for posting! Noel is so very talented! 😀😘 xxx
Ahh, my lovely sister. Thanks for watching love. Xxx
@@TheHiddenHouseIreland❤️🥰❤️xxx
Well I am all caught up now with the house progress 😂 desperate for the next episode now!!!
Noel, it was so interesting watching the pot making process and The final product was impressive !! Good luck with the next steps 🙏
Thank you, I should have more news to share over the weekend. 😊🙌
That took me back I've had the enjoyment of making coil pots,what a great video.
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. ❤️
Fascinating, thank you!
Made from the earth surrounding the cottage. A true work of art that will someday be sitting on the window ledge, filled with wild flowers from the meadow.
What a glorious thought. Idyllic. 🌸🌺🌼
Absolutely fabulous. Thoroughly enjoyed watching this artistic work
Thank you 🙏
Great job 👏 👍
Thank you 😊
Throughly enjoyed watching this video and seeing the pot making process from scratch - just lovely…
So glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching 😊👍🙌
Well done and welcome to Ireland. From limerick 🎉
As a potter myself, I LOVED watching all this, and I am looking forward to seeing the pot after you have fired it in your wood fire I think you said? From the land, and your cottage is sooo special, this pot will be sooo special too. Blessings from Jilly & Madge the rescue greyhound, from a sunny and warm (for a change) West Devon, England. xxx
Ooh wonderful. Do you display/sell your work Jilly? We’d love to see examples of it. 😊🙌👍
@@TheHiddenHouseIreland Sadly I do not make things now, but I do paint bisc pottery, and fire it in my little kiln I keep in my small garden, in a storage unit, which is run off my electricity. However, I have not painted any pottery for about 2 years now, as due to my severe anxiety, I just do not feel like doing any. But watching you make your lovely vase, it made me think maybe I should get the paints out again, as I know it would relax me if I did so. Thank you for your videos. xxx
@@jillychandler Noel will be so pleased to know that. Please do start painting again. 🙌🙏❤️
Noel your really creative great sculpture I Love 💗 working with clay
I can imagine you doing that Mary. Do you make pots too?
That’s so good to source the material from the land!
It feels very satisfying and while some to work the land in that way. 😊
Fascinating watching the entire making of this ancient craft. A truly lovely thing to have created❤
Thank you Pat. I enjoyed editing this one. It’s quite relaxing in a Bob Ross kind of way… 🤣
@@TheHiddenHouseIreland❤
This is so interesting and brings back so many memories. I'm from an area in the Netherlands where Beaker People lived. In the 70s, our teacher taught us 6/7 year-olds how to make pots by rolling coils of clay.
How wonderful. I’m glad it made you nostalgic 😊
Amazing, what a special pot. Thank you for this insight into process of preparing clay to making the pot. Will need a special place I. The house once it is finished.
Yes, there may be quite a few as we have lots of clay! 🤣
Fantastic. I will look for the pot when your new home is finished
We can do a ‘spot the pit’ feature! 🤣🙌
Wonderful.
Well done it looks amazing 🤩
Thanks Samantha 🙌
Wow 💚
I used to go down fresh ditch digs for my mother and bring clay up.
Sounds very rustic and rural. 😊
What a gift to be able to create something so beautiful!⚱️✨️💫
Great work Noel so talented, do you sell your work you have made before this ?
It’s been mainly sculpting with stone and some bronze castings before. Noel also paints and sells his paintings from our little shop in Cornwall. He hopes to have a studio when we get settled here so you’ll get to see some more of his work. This was more of an experiment with the earthy medium. 😊
Wow! I don't think i can do that! I hope you will show us after it's fired.❤
He plans to do so. 😊
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Yes powder is so nice but wild clay is sure different…..found one batch that was in a perfect rectangle glob…got out as much as I could..in a construction site ….well what can I say….by the time it was fired ..we had never experienced bright burnished red….the odd thing was IT WAS SHINY AND OILY FEELING LIKE IT HAD BEEN SHELACED
Fascinating isn’t it. Was it a success or did it go badly wrong? I’m not sure I follow due to my ignorance of process. 😊
Delightful video. What other materials do you sculpt with? Do you carve stone?
Yes Noel does carve stone although it has been a long time since he sculpted this way. Usually he works in clay. I’ll post a photo of his stone carving tomorrow. 👍
@@TheHiddenHouseIreland Do you mean on instagram? Forgive me, I'm not great at social media nor am I active but if that's what you mean then I'll look.
@@tracybush8115no here on TH-cam, I can post a photo like on Facebook/insta. It should show up on your feed, or you can find it by clicking on the community tab on our channel page. 😊
How do you keep the lares of clay moist and flexible over the process
@@robbiestannard2236 By covering it with plastic each time to keep the moisture in. 😊
I preferred it when you were singing!😅
