Love how this planter turned out Mia... even if the bottom fell off. Love watching all your projects

I love this piece! I also love that you post the failure, a real day in a potters life.

[@miyorinpyon6785]

Hi! I found your channel recently and have since watched all your videos! I love how well you explain every single detail, not just how to do things, but most importantly the why! You have so much knowledge and such a kind personality! I came across your videos because I was interested in pottery and the way you teach made me like it even more, so thank you! Hopefully I can try pottery soon! Wishing you all the best and love all your videos! 😊

[@PotterytothePeople]

That is so kind of you to say! Thank you

[@kayetobias-stachlewitz3063]

Great Idea! I would make a matching catch tray with it. Idea - You can also make another one and it could resemble a tulip. Thank you, Great Job!

[@ginnymaurer2580]

That’s awesome! I have some ideas of my own for a leaf planter. I’d like to use different ❤leaf shapes from my own yard.

[@walkerpottery9296-Natalie]

You picked a perfect glaze!

[@angeladundon7271]

So clever…looks beautiful

[@debatron3263]

You can definitely use it as a candle vase. 🕯 love your work. Thank you for sharing!!

[@yifat120]

Thank you very much. Great tutorial Loved it

[@cre2919]

Looked very nice Thank you for sharing God bless

[@slaviapolandia7541]

Love it!

[@Deem57]

Thanks for showing your "boo-boo". I just made a similar prototype today (before I even saw your video). I used a flower pot and lined the inside with plastic wrap. Then I formed the piece inside, overlapping the leaves. I don't know how it's going to work but I plan to make a larger one in the future. Your method could work better for the bigger pots.

[@nelllee57]

Awesome job ... Love it

[@maddoochamow]

I really like how it looks like! I will probably try it out. Thank you for the idea! you rock!

[@cathye.3151]

This is the first video I've looked at. Very cool idea. (not knowing anything about such things and the expense), what if you had cut the leaves so that they folded under? and then placed the bottom on top (inside) and glued it all together? do you think that would have worked? I'm going to try this because I think this is a GREAT idea! THANK YOU!

[@alans1816]

The pot looks great - except for the bottom. Would it be possible to glue the bottom on with more glaze? Is there a problem with refiring to glaze temperature?

[@kathybayham6229]

Perfect candidate for Kintsugi

[@sachdharma69]

great planter...

[@lizflowers100]

You can always glue the bottom on after it's done. I drilled holes in my pots and the bottom fell out. No worries, the right glue will connect them. Just check for toxins that may cause harm too the plant. Plants usually adapt with no problems to contact cements. Craft on!!

[@hollygauthier5691]

Pretty cool

[@carleenkatz4037]

E-6000 is a great glue to fix that with.

[@ronaldlogan3525]

I am so happy that happened to you. Something quite similar happened to me and I never knew why. But what you said about the glaze stressing the pot ? That must be what happened to my piece. Mine was bisque fired and then glazed and re-fired cone 05. It came out of the kiln in one piece and then fall apart after it cooled. I was baffled.

[@PotterytothePeople]

Yes exactly. As it cools, this stresses the pot too because of thermal retraction (after thermal expansion). It sometimes happens that it will break a few minutes or even a few days after unloading! Crazy, right?

[@jackiemorrison2661]

Still fabulous

[@nadiaveronicahalboth5480]

💚💚💚

[@leoniepl9846]

Lovely planter! Which glue do you use for ceramics? I was wondering of how to fix a broken mug recently...

[@TariHuffaker]

Just curious... couldn't you glaze those spots and refire? Hasn't that been known to work?

[@monawirth8076]

Lovely....

[@marisellestolz6755]

Hi Maya, how do you transport your nor fired articles to the studio

[@donnacowell7415]

I prefer a voice over.

[@simplyme135]

Hi, thank you very much for your detailed tutorials. However, I do have a question about the glazing of your other projects. The finished product almost always has small dots, which I absolutely admire. I know you use white glaze or seladon. How do you achieve the dots effect? Underglaze splatter? Thank you for sharing.

[@PotterytothePeople]

When my pottery has dots, that is actually iron in the clay body itself. But you can make a similar effect with underglaze or glaze splatters as you suggested :)

[@simplyme135]

@@PotterytothePeople Thank you very much for taking your time to reply. I know you are very busy.
