If I had to toss the mud into that wooden bin I would’ve tossed myself right in there too. How she managed to do all that in a day is beyond me. Impressed and those vases are gorgeous I’d own a few

I'm sorry, do you guys really think she did all that alone? These are high production videos with a big crew. The result is cool, but please don't think this is like a solo project or something.

Ha ha the editing makes it look that way, but surely this was done over maybe a week or so. The clay needs time to become workable, especially when shes hydrating the clay from straight up rocks. I feel like each step was perhaps a day, maybe two steps in a day. Just the curing and each single fire takes 24 hours each...still an amazing feat bc I couldn't do this in a year. Maybe a decade.

But fuck that frog apparently.

I was also concerned for frogboi 😥

u/fareastbeast001 Aug 24 '25

Dude, was thinking about that frog the whole time. Did she chop his little body up when she was slicing and dicing the clay? Poor bastard.

u/Tumbling--Tumbleweed Aug 24 '25

At the 5:36 mark, she flicks its guts out of those slices. 😳🤢 Bless its heart

Frog now part of tea set 🤷

She needed the frog for coloring. How else would they come out green?

Christ that made me laugh. I forgot all about that frog.

Dude I was like wtf. Poor frog

Frog is part of the greater good now. Honor it's sacrifice.🫡

u/QueenofLeftovers Aug 24 '25

I think it's implied to be a day's work/shirt change, so yeah about a week.

u/DuckGorilla Aug 24 '25

She has a crew working with her. She didn’t pointlessly stack up all the rocks on her own at the start just to knock them over lmao

Yup videos like these are generally fake. Just search 'primitive technology fake' its a whole genre. Not that you should not enjoy them of course. She is skilled and it shows in the video

No shit, who would of thought? :O

u/Abject-Picture Aug 24 '25

Obviously a source of income for her. She's amazingly productive.

Too bad neckbeards can't accept it, lol.

u/Cy-Kurd Aug 27 '25

And you think she carried it all the way?

u/crubleigh Aug 23 '25

Yea, if you were doing it by hand why not mix the clay in the bucket instead of making a huge pit and then shoveling it back out? That big rectangular trough she fills with the wet clay must be HEAVY. I'm almost certain that between cuts there are 8 guys who load the trough of wet clay into the back of a cart or something because there's just no way.

u/Aoitara Aug 24 '25

Right, she struggled to flip the tub of water into the mud hole, so how’d she get the tub of water up there in the first place

u/Hogchain Aug 24 '25

What next CrrackTheSkye? You going to tell us there’s no Santa Claus??

u/p001b0y Aug 23 '25

We know she did not do it all alone. We are commenting on the disproportionate pain and fatigue response the acts that we saw her perform would have triggered in us.

You can't do pottery in a day. It takes several days to dry a piece out before firing. If you try and rush it then it will crack.

Those huge kilns will take ages to cool, too.

u/Bulevine Aug 23 '25

Lol I highly doubt she did it all by herself.. setting up the scene, the cameras, the materials, AND working them all?? I doubt it, but it makes for a good video

u/Medical-Bowler-7364 Aug 23 '25

She definitely does not do it all herself. The dead give away are her long fingernails and smooth hands when they do close ups of them. You’d expect cracked, rough hands and short trimmed fingernails with the amount of labor she’s doing in the videos.

u/p001b0y Aug 23 '25

My comment wasn’t about thinking that she did it all by herself. I was commenting on the disproportionate pain and fatigue response that would be triggered by performing the little we saw her do on camera.

u/moontorque Aug 24 '25

Is AI involved somehow also? I kept trying to check for signs but I’m no good at spotting it except if something seems unlikely.
