Thank you Audrey! I’ve made these years ago, but the video I watched really smacked them down! No surprise that I had cracks!! I like the way you finesse them, I may have to try them again. Thank you so much for the great tutorial. Lots of little great tips along the way. By the way… now I have all of the tools in my Amazon basket. 🤷🏻♀️
I am really happy you liked the video. Ya, I have never had cracks, so I guess a little gentleness helps. I hope you like your tools. I like them and hope you do too. Thanks so much for watching!
It looks so easy when you are at the pottery wheel. Amazing skill. I hope that I get better from just watching you. 😜 and the pool noodle 🤩 I love your tutorials. With making it look easy you give me hope. Much love Suza ❤
That is so sweet of you, Suza! There are lots of skills I need to improve! Thanks for watching my videos. That means a lot to me. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I hope you heal fast!
It is my pleasure. I hope the tutorial helps. Oh dear, I just realized I didn't put the link to the spoons for the pigs. They are on Amazon. I will find a way to let everyone know. Ugh.
Audrey, I love them. I don’t wheel throw a lot. Shane usually does the wheel throwing and I do the hand building. But occasionally I will throw if there is something that I want to try. And I will definitely give this a try. My favorite was the bird one ❤. Thanks so much for the wonderful tutorial😊
Thanks so much, Diana! I am so glad you like them. Nice to hear your bird one is your favourite. I use that bird on so many projects and everyone loves them. So simple! Thanks for your kindness.
You could make a lid as a pig face and put a curly tail of a pig on the body then it really would be a salt pig. Thanks for sharing this video I will definitely try to make one xx
Love them Audrey! I will make them too, but probably try them with a mold😊 I think that will be quicker and easier for me. But I am not sure! I will let you know ❤
Thank you so much for the great instruction video! They are so cute, specially when group of six are looking at you :). It was a joy to see you throw and hand build. This piggy salt holder just the right size to throw for me 🎉. I was wondering, I don’t have a bat system, but I have the metal “trim tool”, which you used at the end of the throwing. Do you think can it be used on the wheel? My wheel is new and and don’t want to scratch it, so I didn’t try it yet 😳
They ARE funny all looking at you! A little singing choir! The trim tool may scratch your wheel. It is pretty sturdy metal. I found that the wooden tools dull down so fast. Thanks so much for watching!
The pool noodle is BRILLIANT!
@@PerrinPottery Yet another awesome use for a pool noodle! 🤣

Thanks for the tutorial! Now want to make more salt pigs and perfect the areas you showed how to!!
Great! I hope the little tips help.😊
Great video! Thank you for taking the time to share your method. It has inspired me to try and make some.

For sure! I have not made a lid before, but I have put ears and tail on them. They are super cute that way! Thanks for watching! 🐷
Very cute - definitely going to give this a try! Thanks so much for sharing x
Great, Laney! I hope they work out for you!
Thank you so much! I’m going to give it a try 😊 I need to practice much more on the wheel 😊
I am happy you are hoping to try it. Thankfully, it's not a lot of clay!
Love them Audrey! I will make them too, but probably try them with a mold😊 I think that will be quicker and easier for me. But I am not sure! I will let you know ❤
I hope you try them! Any way you make them, I am sure they will be nice!
@@AudreyLynnStudios I have three ready! I will show them when they are fired🙏💕
@@Ellen.s.atelier Awesome! I am looking forward to seeing them!
Just the video I was hoping to find! And I love the flower sprigs accents... very nice. : )
@@CeeJayKay OH, that is so nice of you to say! Thank you!

@@AudreyLynnStudios thank you so much!
Thank you so much for the video, do you put wax resist on the bottom before glazing ?
Sometimes I do, sometimes not. If I am painting the glaze on the usually I don't. Have fun making them!
Have you tried to round the bottom in trimming then smack down?
Ooooo....no I haven't. Hmmmm? That sounds like a good idea! Thanks, Jeff!
Is that a zester in your smack down? Lol.
I don't think so. It is coarser than what I know as a zester but not as coarse as say a carrot grater. I got it so long ago. I wish I could help!
