Carving on a rainy day. I hope you enjoy this calming video and find some peace in your day.

I'm still working on decorating my work space. I'm thinking about decorating the wall with fake hanging plants that drape down with fairy lights 🧚‍♂️ I think it would look cute in the background of my videos! Anything is better than the current bare wall 😵

It reminds me of the stylistic artsyle in games, where items look sharp and a bit cartoony. It looks really nice, the style is unique!

🌿Please read before commenting🌿
I keep getting the same questions over and over and I am learning a lot of people do not read the description. So I will answer them here.
•Clay goes through many stages of shrinkage when drying and firing in the kiln. The mug looks big so that it will be normal sized when it is finished.
•Clay is called Brown Bear from Kentucky Mudworks (stoneware)(still looks like chocolate, tho)
•The knife is from Mudtools and is called Petal Knife #5.
•There is no finished piece at the end because it is just a simple carving video. I have plenty of finished work on my Instagram.
•Yes, I am aware that it isn't a mug until it has a handle. It will get a handle after carving.
•I sell my work on my website: www.kaiceramics.com
Thanks for watching 🙃

Will you be adding mugs to your shop soon? Thank you. Love your work.

That is so nice and so satisfying I never new that in pots they cut and give a shape to form a stand❤️

[bonnie]

Kai ceramics. This is exquisite. I’ve sculpted, thrown, guilt, and modified mugs of all kinds. But never carved one. I may have to now. Thank you.

[toastbrot]

Would also work well as a pot for plants! 🙏

[CaptainTom_EW]

It's so big and it looks like it's made out of stone
I love it!!

I would love to make a few batches of tools like that. I’ve always done a lot of tool and die making work on the side because I enjoy it and because it’s needed quite often.
I’ve always made a lot of my own tooling, but over 10 years ago I needed to make a batch of somewhat precision tools… Instead of just making one at a time.
I Wanted to re-create a set of violin scroll carving palm gouges. So I machined some massive swage blocks and shaping dies.
And used hydraulic press to form them, instead of forging them like I would normally do.

I’ve made all types of carving tools even some metal working tools. Having a bit of intermediate blacksmithing experience, and a basic set up… It’s incredible what you can make these days.

That looks like such a fun and interesting tool to reverse engineer, then go about designing the tooling that will allow somewhat quick batches with perfect repeatability and accuracy… source the material, shape material, heat treat, design and make the handles and ferrules, … it’s just such a satisfying process.

Would be super satisfying to make a few batches. I enjoy making tools more than anything in the world

My ADHD again: this would be a fun 👀
Me: please stop, , , 😭 we can't even afford our current hobbies

Pottery always seemed like a nice calming hobby to do at the side to relieve stress.
