 Hello everyone, welcome back to the Average. Today we've got a cool thing that we're doing. Potted sent me this home pottery kit so we're going to try it out today and I have a special guest Christopher, my husband. Say hello. Hi. For your hands in, you have to wave. A bit further, bit further, very good. I've also got these pastel pinks that you can use with them which is going to be great. So what do you get? You get a quick start guide. Top tips. So it tells you how to use, it gives you instructions, how to paint, how to do these things. This is cool, like different, ah, examples. I want to make a pinch pot. That's not a pinch pot. I don't know if I want to make a pinch pot but it gives you all the instructions on the different things. You just pinch it. Yeah I think so too. A squiggly tray, a trinket-ish for your trinkets. Photo stand, that's quite cute because if you have, we have one of these uh, bolognese cameras. That's what I want to do, a plant pot but for pens. I'm going to do this one. Chris, you just said what you want to do. Comes with everything you need I think which is really cool. I've got tools that me and Chris are going to fight over. A sponge, a stick, another stick. Need water though. Really, more sticks and a little curry. This is really nice actually because all the tools are branded which, quite sweet. Mm. Quite sweet. Super sweet. So I've got another pastel pinks which I didn't know it came with so there we go, we've got two pastel pinks that we can share. They look good. I used to talk into myself. Well I didn't know I was on the video so now I don't know how much do I say. Paint brushes, very nice. Very good. Stop. Just stop and do it. Super clay. It's a two days to dry. Okay so we'll do another video of us painting them I think. I don't know what this is, oh this is for the instructions to hold it up. We've got gloss varnish and base coat. So let's get going. Oh it's very brown than I thought it would be. Very brown. Pesto. She wants to do a pop too. Pesto pop. Why are you talking like that? Okay. She wants to do a pop too. It's the YouTube candle. Hi everybody, welcome. Chris you can have this much because that's what I've decided. Gimme. Gimme that. I'm already like annoyed with it. I feel like it's going to be weird in my hands. Okay divide the clay into a small bowl, one for it and are you okay? Can you get in camera please? Uh yeah sure. Release some water. You don't need constant background noise. Oh my ring's really good. Yeah you probably take that off. Ring flakes. Okay cut that out. It's not going cut out. You're going completely destroyed. No, my first time doing a video with you. Can you see on your side? There's a reason you're being very bourgeois. This is my one and you were doing a pinch pot. Where's your pinch pot instruction? What are you making? I'm making a plant pot. Oh right that's what I want to make. Don't look at mine. You're not making a plant pot as well. I couldn't find those instructions. You're just copying me. No we can both do one and then we'll see where it goes. Make a little vase or something. Then we compare them. No because you're going to beat me. I'm not going to beat you. Yes you will. I've never done pot for you before. You'll be amazing at it for sure and then I'll just be sad. Are you talking like it's not really so insecure? Stop being so insecure. Chris it doesn't mean flatten it. It means make two balls literally. Yeah I can't really read the instructions. It's right there. It's not that hard. It says divide the clay into one small bowl, one third and one larger ball, two thirds and also grow up like seriously. I think I've done mine. Okay roll small ball out into a small circular slab. This is small ball so this is my small ball. I feel like this is not small enough now. I'm going to take some off. I'm going to roll here. Okay go for it. Yours looks very oh no I think with the tin foil. This is trash. Why are we making the same thing? It's so boring. I was going to make a pot anyway. Yeah but you're going to make a pinched pot. A pinched pot. Okay my turn. I need to roll mine out now into a small ball. How are you supposed to make that round honestly? Oh use a bowl. Okay we need a bowl. We need a bowl Chris. I think that this grease proof paper doesn't really help. I think you're grease proof. But does it have to be a centimeter thick? It doesn't say anything about. It doesn't say anything about a centimeter but I do need to cut it into a bowl shape. I think I'm just going to do it. Just wing it. I'm just going to ring it. It's going to make my own circle. What are you talking about? Hey! What the hell? Five minutes earlier. Have more confidence in yourself. Two seconds later. Well if my pot is wonky I don't mind. I think it's going to be quite cute. You think it's going to be charming? Yeah like a wonky pot. Like you don't make stuff to just have perfect like things is it? Exactly. That's my point. That's my point. You don't make stuff to be perfect. Yeah you don't have it. You don't want it like like manufactured. Exactly. Zuccements. Okay done it. This will form the base of your plant pot. It's a little bit thin. Last ball into a long salad. Why is mine like break apart when I roll it? I'll just get your hands wet. I don't know. Yeah but yours is looking terrible and also get on camera please. Sorry I'm not a professional like you. Yeah well you have to be. You have to turn up. Yeah. You have to follow instructions Chris. I didn't say to use water though. It doesn't matter. Use your brain. Get bullied on YouTube. Shout out. It's too wet. I feel like this is not this is too thin but let's see. No that's not thin enough. I don't know. Okay that looks much better. What's going on? Why is your so scrumpty? I'm not sure why it's so scrumpty. You've overworked the clay. You've overworked. I have no idea. Don't make you nervous. Can you hurry up? You've rolled that out five times now. Yeah because I hope I'm trying to get it like perfect but it's just fading every time. Please. Sorry I've messed it up wait. We don't need a bowl. You've got to do it by eye like me. Oh we'll do a square. No it'll be too hard. What are you doing? Don't go away from the instructions. Don't do these. We have a plan. We have our instructions. That's what we're doing. Plant pots have to have folds in the bottom though. I thought that was something you should do right but this one doesn't. I'm not going to use my for plants. I'm going to use my for pens but I'm just saying. Could be nice. Look at your perfect circle. How dare you show up to my channel and make a perfect circle just freehand. You dare sir. You know I've only got one shot. I've got to make a count. Mine is not really a circle now. Oh crazy. Come in secure. Mine's bigger. We're going to have a bigger plant pot. Now I have to make a long thing. Now what do you know? I'm going to make a long one. Cut that out and you make a large bowl into a long slab. What's that just gone in there? What is that? A bit of crumb. Try not to hit my ear. Yeah could you move your perfect circle out of the way? I'm going to destroy it. Relaxy here and it's perfection. Oh really? So once big boots. I don't know what that means. Don't need a ruler. We just play it by ear. Watch it be not long enough. That's wonderful. Wait, wait. I'm going to do this eye now. These are going to be for my bits. I'm going to stick on the outside because it doesn't say to do anything on the outside but I'm definitely am. You're going to decorate it. But I'm definitely am. What are you going to put on the outside? Cats of course. I'm going to put cats and like sparkle shapes. Look at that. The perfect scraped rectangle. It's not a thing square and it came out of scraped which is not even a thing. It's a scraped angle. It's perfectly scraped. It's great. You think it's going to go around all the way. Good question. You know what? A ruler would be handy right now. How? You can't measure the ruler of this. Here you go. I'll take measure maybe. Okay, okay. Okay. Is it going to make it smaller? We can make that smaller or? Yeah. Wait a minute. Oh is it going to be the perfect circle now? Am I really, really good? Look at that. Okay. It's not hurt. It's not quite Chris's perfection circle. Don't touch. Sorry. Okay. I'm going to move mine other way so you can make your rectangle now. That looks great. That looks creamy. It looks delicious. Awesome. Oh no, you got skunk on mine. Slather some water on. What did you say? Like creep. Oh no. You pushed too hard. You have to be gentle. Oh god. Put too much water. What did you say? Good to be gentle. Oh my god, weirdo. Why is that weird? Why is everything like that with you? What? Just cut this bit. We like that again. We say you're perfect at this, but because you have like five tries. Christopher, in the frame, please. For the ladies and gentlemen's at home's to seize. What shape do I have? You have to make it a ball. Like remember the instructions from the beginning. This is so painful. I didn't know they skipped ahead. No, not too much pressure. You're making it like a, do it like this. Make it a ball. Has to be a ball. Okay. Perfect. So close. It's sabotage. You need to hurry up. My thing is getting melty. My side of my pot is not doing well over here. You need to hurry up. Almost died. This is good. It's stressing me out. We're dying. These plant pots are going to be tiny by the way. We're like, yeah, we're going to make this giant plant pot. Now we've just got these two tiny. They're broke again. What is going on with you? Why is it? I don't understand. Maybe it's too hot. The place too hot now because you'd be working it too much. Maybe I'm not an expert, but I just put this down again and just roll it out. Oh my goodness. Please. Sorry. Shall I do it? If you want. Okay, I can try. But you have to look off. You have to babysit mine. Why is it drooping over the edge? What did you do that for? Why did you do that for? It's to spike. No, no, I didn't do it to spike. You're naughty. Let's make this into a ball again. Perfect slab. Also, I don't think you have enough clay here. I've got enough. I've got enough. No, it's not enough. I want clay here as well. It doesn't matter. Clay Guida. What? Maybe it's because of this, like the rollers wet. It could be a multiple reasons that we don't know because we don't make clay things. Yeah, come on. Give us a break. Give us a break. Chris, please, hurry up. This is how my brain works. You ready? Ready about five hours ago. Okay, you just chuck that and it hit my base. And I'm annoyed now. Your face? The base. We need this for our bits and bobs. Indiana Jones and the rolling pin. I loved it. I could cut that out. No, that was so good. I haven't cut that out. Indiana Jones and the rolling pin was so good. Yeah, I loved that. Didn't you see my reaction? But yours is looking really short compared to mine. Yeah, that's cool. All right, let's get both of them on camera now. Yeah, let's just roll mine out. There's not enough time in a day, Chris. It says to score the bottom. You can see that me and Chris are very different the way that we approach stuff. Like, I'm so like, whatever, and Chris is such a perfectionist. So it's really hard to work together at the same time, but it's fine. Okay, now we have to score the outside like this, Chris. Here's your tool. Are you doing it? You've got one. Never mind. No, because mine's not long enough. Mine's really short. What the hell? Okay, I don't know how long it hasn't been recorded, but Chris is rolling his out and I'm attempting to make the side. It says to carefully wind a rectangular shape around the base and then cut off any excess. It's so hard. Why is it falling? There's no way it's going to stand. It's too thin. It needs to be thicker. It's too thin. I'm just going to go for it. I don't care. If it falls in, it falls in. If it dies, it dies. Slip and blend the pieces together. Okay, I can try. This is painful. You got it. You got it. Here is Chris's perfect sculpture. Structural integrity is an A star. Smooth. And then here's mine. And it's got a little wonky, but we still love her, you know. We have to love wonky pieces of work sometimes. But yeah, we're going to leave this up to dry and then we'll probably decorate these next week. So if you want to come back next week, subscribe and like the video. Thank you. Just ridiculous.
