last video of the year 🥹 thank you to everyone who has watched and supported me this year! i’m looking forward to making more in 2025 so if you have any video suggestions or requests please let me know 🫶 (& if you have any helpful tips and tricks for ceramics, i’d also love to hear from you 🙂↕️) ❤ 🍐
I really enjoy your videos, thank you for the wonderful creations! I wish you health and luck for the upcoming year 2025 and hope you achieve all your goals. Your creativity and dedication are truly inspiring. Keep up the great work and continue to bring joy and inspiration to your viewers. Happy New Year!🎉🎆🎨
Thanks so much for sharing the learning moments rather than just a perfected finished product. It's important for folks to see the process and learn to push through the difficult spots. Also I think that burned cup looked kinda cool.
I just started my major in ceramics and sculpture, so I don’t have much advice to offer. However, I will say that a sponge or a smaller rib can be extremely effective at smoothing things out. I find that it doesn’t leave the streaks that you would get when using a brush to smooth things out, and it also to compresses the clay back together as you work. For tiny details like the corners of the paint palette, silicone sculpting tools work great. There are also more precise sponge tools that come cut a certain way so that you can reach smaller areas. Though, in some cases it can be easier to buy a sponge and cut it down. Denser sponges might be better for that purpose.
if you want the under glaze to really pop, i would recommend 3 coats of it anywhere you use it! i learned that the hard way a few times during my hs pottery class. also if you want a nice rim on the bottom of a piece (where the glaze stops before the bottom of the piece) use wax! it will melt off in the kiln, but you do have to wipe off the glaze you might get on it before firing it. I love all the piece you made!! That sandy clay looks soooo nice fired
I recommend you to make ceramic slip with the small clay rest, puting them inside a sealed cup with water, so you can use it as a "'clay glue". Also i dont recommend separating the glace in small containers if they are not well sealed bc they will dry! Amazing work as always ❤
I recommend an exacto knife or something similar for the cutting you do to the rims of cups! Those pottery knives aren’t designed to go through as easily for a more precise cut like that. Using any craft knife will be much easier when you’re cutting. The pottery knives are perfect for instances like the palettes, though!
@@PearFleur also it might help if you let it firm up a bit more. as you're cutting the shape the cup deforms and clays, especially the laguna you were using at the start of the video have a 'memory' .Which means if the shape deforms, once you fire it (or sometimes even when it dries) it will revert back to that shape even if you compress it back to the original. if you firm let it firm up and use an exacto knife like the original commenter said, you will have an easier time cutting cleanly and precisely :)
gahh i predicted that you'd start ceramics!! im so excited that you did and i look forward to seeing more ceramics content in the future! your abstract style would look amazing on your handbuilt mugs and vasesz
Je vous écris en français car je ne suis pas sûre de vous dire aussi correctement à quel point je suis impressionnée par votre travail. Non seulement chaque vidéo est le résultats d'un nombre forcément important de travail et d'entraînement , non seulement la beauté du tournage et montage en font des petits chefs d'œuvres visuels. De l'art, de l'asmr et du bonheur pour les yeux à l'état pur. Je découvre depuis des années vos vidéos avec toujours autant de plaisir sans avoir toutefois déjà commenté Meilleurs vœux pour cette année à venir
When I made my first clay palettes, the glass crazed for me too! They’re still usable, but the cracks have been dyed. If you use something like dr martins ink, it can kind of bond and seal in the crack and I haven’t had an issue with functionality after that!
Always in love with your works!!! Btw which kiln are you using? Could you give more detail about it in one of your next videos? Will be really appreciated. Thank you 😊
Love your videos💖and since this is the last one for this year, I am wishing you a Happy New Year ✨🥂 Video requests: sketchbook drawings/ paintings, using different mediums(please use also markers:alcohol ones and acrylic ones). Art supplies/ stationery unboxings, journaling pages ideas 💖
I’m liking the kitten in the background. It’s a sound I miss. I lost my two cats (19 yo m & 17 yo f) in the last two years. I miss the way they’d lay on my chest whenever I was laying on the couch. They’d tuck their little heads under my chin and purr and drool. Miss those mischievous lil buggers.
Just an observation from a ceramics major, you could be using too much water, and it’s possible to make the clay too wet to where it just turns into slip and it can make it less durable in the long run. You can also refire pieces! The cracks and lines in the glaze aren’t from you pulling it out of the kiln too early, that’s called crazing. Crazing is where the glaze shrinks more than the clay, so it cracks. It’s still usable for paint, but if you want to refire it maybe you can try letting it cool for longer and maybe the glaze will remelt in a better way?
i think if you use a little less water on your finger, the clay will be smoothed out even better! and using a metal spoon to burnish the places you can reach might also help C:
This was very relaxing to watch. Something I popped on while trying to get my baby to sleep. I have a question though; I don't do ceramics, but I have dabbled with clays, wouldn't it be easier to roll out two thin slabs, cut them to the same size, and then just cookie cutter out your shapes from one of them, and place it on top of the other? Instead of trying to carve out the shapes from the one thick slabs? Please don't take my question as criticism, I loved watching you work, and honestly, I'd love to try to do something like this one day. I was just curious about techniques.
Not PearFleur, but having done some ceramics I think the reason is this: thin slabs of ceramic clay, esp when you have lots of shapes cut out of it (a lattice basically), would be really difficult to attach onto the flat bottom slab, both in laying it over (it may break), but also in making sure they stuck without any air bubbles or excess moisture differences from scoring and slipping (which can cause cracking when fired). Carving from a thicker slab would prevent that, since it's all from one unified clay piece, and lets you use non-cookie cutter shapes for the wells. And of course, less clean up too.

Happy Holiidayss!! Really looking forward to seeing more of your art in 2025! 😍
Happy holidays, Pear Fleur ❤ may your talent keep growing and letting us see your projects for so many years 🎉 I wish you happiness
Your videos are always so aesthetic and calming! May you please make a video of you using oil pastels?
Maybe another monochromatic painting video, or painting flowers? I always find nature and flowers such a relaxing thing to watch being painted ☺️❤️
Never apologize for kittens purring .. it's a lovely addition to the ASMR of this whole thing. So soothing
I came to the comments to say the exact same thing 😅
The purring is absolutely heavenly, thank you for keeping it in!!
the shapes you make, no matter matter what media you're using, are always the most pleasing to watch. i dunno how else to explain it

Idk why but this part 6:11 is the most satisfying

I prefer hearing the kittens 🥰🥰 very nice touch. And these palettes are adorable.

The kittens purring in the background is a nice touch to the video... No need to be sorry!
I just loved how the underglaze slid from the spoon like custard! Delicious!
Your videos are always a joy to watch! 💜
this is beyond relaxing, I love it ☺
Wishing you a great new year! Thanks for the pretty videos you've made and will make for us! Hopefully you will be healthy and happy always!
The kittens purring was an added bonus!

Just at the right perfect time. Excited for this new video.
pearfleur: sorry about the kittens purring
me, a cat lover stuck at work who wants to go home already: nO NO APOLOGIZING
Always in love with your works!!!
Btw which kiln are you using? Could you give more detail about it in one of your next videos? Will be really appreciated. Thank you
😊
It really doesn't matter if it's cracked ! But it is one of your fascinating creations ♡
Thank you for sharing your processes and results! ❤
Would you recommend using Marco S-2101 with Amado velvet underglaze after your experiment?
Love your videos💖and since this is the last one for this year, I am wishing you a Happy New Year ✨🥂

dude who EVER complained about kittens accidentally purring on a mic.
may i ask what kiln you have? it looks like such a great at home size for a hobby potter!
it’s the L&L plug & fire kiln :)
i think if you use a little less water on your finger, the clay will be smoothed out even better! and using a metal spoon to burnish the places you can reach might also help C:
Bravo for your clay courage!
Delicious accuracy and creativity... individual and personal style. Best wishes for 25
I like 10:02-10:06. My personal favorite lol
How do you fire your pottery? The one that aren’t air dry?
@@Barnew1868 L&L plug & fire kiln!
I’m so sad for you about the palettes. I thought that was the coolest idea. I’m glad you can still get use from them.
Can we use earthenware clay without firing?
What is the kiln and size? It looks perfect for all the crafts :D
where did u purchase the canvas fabric?
Lowe’s!
@PearFleur thank you! you are a master of arts. i love you 😭

Also making your own shapes is more fun! :)
What kind of kiln is that one?
Apologizing for one of the most pleasant sounds there is- a happy animal- is wild. Never apologize for that!! 🫶🫶🫶
what's the cats name? they are so cute!!! I always enjoy your videos; merry Christmas and a very happy new year!
Dirt & Daisy :)
yo siendo la amiga a la que le hizo la paleta OMG
No one ever: I hate the sound of kittens purring 😡
🎶🐈🧡
wow 😲 wonderful ❤ amazing 😍 creativity 🎉 lovvvvvvvvvly 💗 patterns ❤🎉 extraordinary skills ❤🎉🙌🙌👏👏👏👏👍❤😊
I am absolutely pissed at TH-cam for not giving me this video sooner 😭🗣️
hmm next time could we maybe have the mic closer to the kittens? the purring sounds are a bit small imo
