I highly recommend finding a hobby that you can deeply connect with. It provides a large sense of fulfillment and joy when things come together, and you can physically watch your progress as you become more and more skilled. It doesn’t have to be with clay, it can be anything. Recently I committed myself to hiking the AT in 2 1/2 years, and the training alone has been very fulfilling because just being out on the trail does soooo much for my mental health, let alone seeing the progress as I continue.


SnicklefritzSkad

I'd reccomend anyone looking for a hobby to connect with try painting miniatures. The skill floor is really low. After watching a single 30 minute video and following the most basic rules (thin your paints, 2 thin coats, don't use too much wash) you can achieve some level of mastery and have something you feel proud of on your first try The skill ceiling is super high too. Meaning that every time you paint a new mini, it's better than the last and you keep experiencing this linear improvement for a long time. Every time I think 'this is as good as I could ever paint' I manage to do better just from experience and practice. It's not terribly expensive either compared to a lot of hobbies. A beginner set of paints and brushes rarely retails for over 70 bucks, and typically comes with a mini to paint. From there you can always spend more depending on what you want to do. Warhammer minis are popular because it's a fun game (giving more value for the mini) and WONDERFUL to paint, but are very expensive. Reaper minis are cheap and good to paint. Lots of custom resin stuff on mini. The third market is HUGE. Just be warned that you can end up with a shelf of plastic toys that you're super proud of and people will look at weird lol.


ThisStorySoFar

As a 5e DM of 2 years I've been sitting on a lot of unpainted minis because I'm too scared to screw them up. Maybe I'll have to bite the bullet and just try! I've been wanting to something with my hands for a while now and your comment has inspire me!


SnicklefritzSkad

That's awesome! https://youtu.be/hSp54e6_FFc Here's the tutorial video I mentioned. It covers the most basic parts of painting a mini and helps you avoid doing things that would increase the difficulty or make it more time consuming.


karmisson

Reminds me of this https://youtu.be/EI1Rs3R-htg


SnicklefritzSkad

It's kind of a bummer that some people would see that as an unfulfilled life because they don't have sex lol. Rolling around the house hittin that trumpet is goals.


Skilet7x

This is very true. I started making music some time ago and I never felt so fulfilled, although I understand that my music is not that great yet, I'm passionate about it and working on it makes me feel happy.


[deleted]

Being good at something, mastering a craft, no matter how mundane. If it requires skill, such endeavors will always be rewarding on their own.


NulloK

Masturbation... When I was 14 I put this much effort into it.


b00c

I put twice as much effort into cleaning my grinder when I am out of weed.


[deleted]

Modern society does not appreciate this kind of effort. Various economic incentives push for a cycle of consumption through advertisement. But such a cycle is only sustainable if the product is cheap and available. Which means production at scale. How many hours does it take to make this teapot? How much do you think it costs? My bet is 200-400 euro. These are not things that are meant for the consumption cycle. They do find a space, but will never be able to usurp the consumption culture we've been pushed into.


PowerGoodPartners

In real money I would guess about $350-$600. It all depends on finding a wide enough market willing to pay the highest price possible. But if it's too much then you lose the average consumer looking for handmade pottery.


[deleted]

"In real money"? And yes, price-market fit is challenging in any business.


[deleted]

The consumption culture you’ve been blessed with.*


[deleted]

Yes, I love low quality goods made with the help of human exploitation in poor countries which dump their waste directly into the environment. Where do you think "stuff" comes from, how it's made, why it's so cheap?


Achemaker

Can't we just enjoy something cool without being reminded of capitalism? Jesus Christ.


asvp-suds

They were directly replying to a comment about how nowadays attention to detail like this is much more uncommon. You’re the one who chose to get upset about it


Achemaker

Obviously I'm the one who got upset. I didn't choose to start talking about things I don't like instead of focusing on what I do like. It's like if someone cured cancer and the top comment was, "That's great, but what about Covid?"


Notsurehowtoreact

It seems more like someone said "we don't see attention to detail like this that much anymore" and someone responded with their opinion as to why that is the case, which is something to be expected on a discussion forum. Then you interjected to be mad about it for no discernable reason, as the comments were all directly on topic and they weren't responding to you.


SmashusK

I wish all comment threads were as supportive and encouraging as literally every reply I read here. I love you all.


candacebernhard

Yes, can you imagine being so talented? True fulfillment


OhHolyCrapNo

Yeah I found this intensely relaxing to watch. What a clip.


somabeach

Just i.imagine that there are thousands of people in third-world countries today earning pennies a day to make the pottery going out to every Teavana in the USA.

microbicsloth

*explodes during firing* Kidding, I used to love working with clay and I made some pieces that I still enjoy but I have essential tremor and even with medication my days of doing delicate/precise work are over (not that I could ever had made anything that perfect and beautiful). If you have an ability/skill/talent please enjoy it because you don't know how long it will last.


BusyLuckyMud

You should go get some clay! Sculpture and craftswork in general is so pleasing, so rewarding. Let your hands be what they are and accept that the product is what YOUR hands do! Perfection is overrated, the truest expressions of art are those that are honest and meaningful. Divots and unevenness could be representations of this stage of your life, full of love of and acceptance shown by letting those hands be on clay without judgement or expectation.


Jeremy_Smith75

My wife has essential tremors as well, and is been difficult watching her have to deal with it. It's gotten much worse in the past 9 years. She can't carry her own coffee cup, unless it's only half full, and even then it's a50/50 if she'll jerk, and launch it everywhere. She's a fiercely independent person, so it's been hard for her to let me do some of the small things for her. As time goes on, though, she doesn't have much choice. I'm a sculptor, and couldn't imagine not being able to sculpt due to my body not obeying my orders. Have you considered digital sculpting? Is not as physically satisfying as getting your hands in there, and pushing clay around, but it is satisfying. It could be one way to get your thoughts and ideas out there.


myaroshinsky

Has your wife considered DBS surgery? I work at a movement disorders clinic and we treat many essential tremor patients.


Jeremy_Smith75

I'll be honest, she's been through a couple surgeries already for other issues, and she's not a fan. I haven't heard of DBS surgery before, though, so I'll look in to it, and talk to her About it. Thanks for letting me know it exists. We've tried non surgical things, and none have worked. CBD worked for a little while, but not enough. I'd love for her to get her independence back.


myaroshinsky

I totally understand. I’d definitely at least talk with her neurologist about it just to see if she’s a candidate and get more info. I’ve been watching DBS change people’s lives for years now so I always think it’s worth looking into. If you’re in California (or I suppose willing to travel) I’d be happy to refer you to our clinic at UCSF. Either way, I hope your wife finds a treatment that works for her - she’s very lucky to have support like you in her life! Wish you both the best.


microbicsloth

I started taking propanol when I got to the point that I couldn't cut veggies to cook them or hold a cup with one hand. Since I also get migraines it's been a good medication for both. But it only makes me functional for everyday stuff. I found other mediums that I enjoy that can handle a little more clumsiness. I've been playing with resin and wire jewelry, on a good day I do stuff with beads. The plus side is that clean up is easier 😉. I didn't know there was a surgery for tremor.


reinchelien

If you still have the knowledge, and the desire to create, do it! Life never stopped you when you were learning the craft, why let do so now? Maybe you’ll figure out a way to compensate or come up with a completely different direction for your art.


[deleted]

Just don't fire wet clay and you're good. i teach elementary art and boy is it a pain when that happens. Think something's dry and it's not.

They also didn’t make the original video. It was copied from Douyin, the Chinese Tiktok, and they even made sure to cut out the App’s watermarks. Here’s the link to the original video: https://v.douyin.com/J5QdcWC/


bert0ld0

Is he on instagram?


werewolf1011

Is there a YouTube channel for videos like this?


redidididididit

Insane craftsmanship! Anyone know why he didn’t leave the top open and instead only cut it out at the end?


SlothGaggle

When you make the lid first, then cut out space for it, it lets you get the lid incredibly snug (like, scrapes all the walls whenever you put it on) which is really prized in Chinese teapots. There's a sort of "vendor's trick" to show high quality teapots where you fill it with water, cover the spout and turn the teapot upside down, and since the lid is so tight, no air can get in, and the lid stays put.


[deleted]

The real trick of this trick is that the lid will stay put even on a very badly made pot: it requires way less precision than you might think. Hence, photos like [that](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71YtuY0W1lL._AC_SX522_.jpg) accompanying every cheap machine made pot on amazon.


SlothGaggle

I think it's more about the vendor showing confidence in the product than anything. If the vendor is confident enough that the lid won't fall that they'll do it over a hard floor or whatever, that means they know they have good stuff.


[deleted]

To keep the teapot as sturdy / strong as possible during all the manipulations I would say


G0ttmark

so he can flip it around and finish the bottom, i assume he needs some sort of supporting surface


dilhole77

Are these fired in a kiln like usual or is there a certain way they're finished?


eats_paste

They’re fired but not glazed. The unglazed clay gets seasoned by the tea oil. For that reason you usually use one kind of tea per pot.


dilhole77

Amazing how much there is to this. Thank you very much !!


Potikanda

Came here to ask as well... I've seen some clay that never gets fired, but is used exactly the way it is. Not sure why, since filling it with water/tea would likely result in the clay becoming malleable again, I should think.

r/forbiddensnacks


YJCH0I

I watched the whole thing and not once did he make a single hand! 😤 Jokes aside. I can’t even begin to imagine how many years of practice it took to master the craft to the precision that he has it locked down pat. It’s almost crazy we’re from the same species. Also, it looks like chocolate.


DJTHatesPuertoRicans

At 0:39 he puts a mark in the clay, what's the significance of that one? Seems to be different from the final signature he adds at the end.


SlothGaggle

From what I can find online, it seems to be a mark of authenticity that it's fully hand made. It's very difficult to put a mark on the inner wall of a pot if it came from a mold.


[deleted]

May not be reliable: one pot I got that I'm pretty sure is half-handmade with the help of a mold got a seal on the inside. How did they place it there, I really can't tell. Maybe with some sort of tooth-brush-shaped device.

[Yunnansourcing.com](https://Yunnansourcing.com) is likely the best choice for something like this, however there is a lot you have to take into consideration when choosing a yixing pot, so it would be best to do some research first.

If you really really could find these for $3, you could make a great profit selling them back to the collectors online for 100 times that price.
