The Potterie Tour - Love, Leila

Video Description

Welcome to The Potterie Tour at Patina Meadow! Join me for a behind-the-scenes look at where all the magic happens — from soft clay to vitrified ceramic! In this video, I’ll walk you through the full pottery process including how clay transforms in the kiln through bisque firing, why that step is essential before glazing, how I prepare and mix glazes, test their specific gravity, and apply them to each piece. You’ll also see the tools I rely on daily (including a surprisingly useful toilet brush), how I recycle slip and manage clay waste, and how I organize my studio space to keep everything running smoothly. Plus, I’ll share my current glaze palette — blue, white, clear, and green — and explain how each plays a role in my work. Whether you're a fellow potter, a curious beginner, or just here for the cozy vibes, I hope you enjoy this inside look at my creative space. Want to try it yourself? Come take a class with me!
