Pottery Blooper Reel from the Last Month Making (#Shorts)

Last week was my final week at the wheel, throwing pots and trimming them. To coincide with that, here's maybe my last #Shorts blooper reel for a while. If you'd like to know what happened for each mistake here's a handy list below.

•The first is an ink dip pen body that I wired off too vigorously, causing it to collapse forward. Usually I lift these away keeping them upright the entire time but this does of course happen from time to time.

•Next is a bowl with the base gauged out. It happens. Usually a fault of the tool suddenly snagging and turning out too much or rather it’s because I threw the internal curve of the bowl too deep and I simply thought I had more material to work with than I did.

•The third had to be squashed just as the form wasn’t what I intended. Fourth, a beaker, vase shape that I trimmed too thin towards the base, I could feel my finger pressing in and deforming it, so it was a good excuse to cut one in half to see what the cross section was like.

•Fifth, a vase that I thew too thinly, the shoulder specifically, causing the rim and top to collapse in on itself.

•And lastly, a little bowl that I again trimmed too aggressively.

Thankfully, as all you potters who follow me will know, and most of you who aren’t, clay at this stage is completely recyclable, so all of these fails can just be either wedged up and eventually made into new pots.

I’m pretty sure all of these videos are everyone’s favorite. Not because of the failure, but because of that beautiful *squish*.

That half dried and half wet pot cutting into halves is so satisfying

[JosieJKVLOGS]

Y are these satisfying it’s literally him failing I mean I feel bad but still

[TheBelovedBlondie]

I feel like pottery would be a great source of dealing with anger management or depression not only because you can be creative but because you get to smash things

[froggy]

The passive aggressiveness, I love it

My man's karate chopped the bowl🤣

I love how it's instantly "you can't fix that, try again"

Cutting in half was amazing, a new perspective...

pottery is secretly just the art of smashing "accidentally" ruined pots

[lemonadepie]

I love that in pottery when y’all mess up you can take your anger out by just simply *SMACK*

This is fantastic. He can take out his frustration on his creation and just recreate it. Of course his time is wasted when things don't turn out right, but must feel great being able to crush the crap.

Human brain: Don't eat it, it's clay

Monke brain: chokolat. Me want bite

Everytime he breaks it and punches it, I could feel the frustration behind it.

I love seeing the fails of a creative process, when you watch people make successful things you think "wow it must be so easy for them", but seeing the failures you can truly see how easy it can be to mess things up, and not everything you make will be perfect. It's just a part of the process, failure and success.

The Moment when they destroy it is just the reason why I am here.

I really love bloopers. Hard road till you make it ❤

Cutting clay is so good. That little crunchy feeling and the sound are addictive
