This is awesome! A local coffee shop here in Sacramento use all her ceramics exclusively. I was just looking at her instagram/website last night. What a small world!

2 things,
First, i love videos like this, showing someone super passionate talking about their craft and giving new insights into things the average person might never really think about.

And second, i love the community here in the Eater comments, cause I dont think ive seen comment sections on YouTube this polite and engaged on any other channel this size

also her smile when shes talking about all this is just everything, you can tell how much she loves and cares about it all

I'm a metal artist just getting into ceramics and this was exactly what I needed to see to get inspired. Part of the challenge of being an artist is to master the materials so you can create what you want.

The amount of thought, and effort that goes into something that many don’t even think about. This was beautiful, and eye opening!

[awatifbentahar]

I love her passion and how she's willing to share how she does the things she does. Without mentioning how beautiful her work is! Loving it :)

Very beautiful craftsmanship. I love how patient and knowledgeable she is about her craft. When Erin kept saying Kim’s name my eyes got big lol Because I want to have my own line of dinnerware in the near future.

Pottery making không chỉ là một nghề truyền thống mà còn là một nghệ thuật đòi hỏi sự khéo léo và tỉ mỉ. Mỗi sản phẩm gốm sứ đều phản ánh tài năng và tâm huyết của người thợ, từ khâu chọn nguyên liệu đến khi hoàn thiện.

I LOVED watching you create your art. I feel exactly the same about creating, presenting and eating from beautiful ceramics. It takes dining to a very special level. Please, please do more

Beautiful plates👍🏻😊 it was enjoyable watching her making them.

This is my first time seeing someone using snail caviar, I didn’t know it could be used that way😅

As a ceramicist, this is a little "precious", but we don't want to take away the passion the artist has with impact of the experience.
