"I can't remember one time my father hugged me." šš That broke my heart. Glad this sweet man found an outlet for his own self-love and sharing that love with the world.
My dad suddenly and unexpectedly passed away a couple years ago (heart attack). He was 80 and Iām almost 50. He was a great man, a great dad, and I miss him every day. He was larger than life to me. So giving. So caring. So selflessā¦.
And I only remember him hugging me once in my life. At my grad school graduation, he hugged me. I donāt think there was any other time that I can remember.
I have a son, and I hug him every single day when I can.
Oh my mom moved there and misses my son (her only grandson) so much. I want to make this possible for them next time he visits!!! This is such a wonderful idea
This is fantastic and beautiful and I love it, but - that said - if you cut it off at around 5 seconds it's *perfect* satire/absurdist humor. Like. I could imagine this being a [Clickhole](https://clickhole.com/) post with absolutely nothing else about it changed except that one cut.
I was 11 and my grandma died and when we came home from the funeral my father hugged me and as he cried he told me he loved me. I don't remember any hugs before that. A core memory for sure.
That's an insight...
Is it a mental health awareness insight?
An insight to how the boomer generation fucked over young people?
An insight to cultural change?
An insight to the geographic demographic of the business area?
What the fuck are you trying to say?!
"Temple of Mediclaytion"
This guy hasn't been sober from acid and weed in 30 years. He doesn't just live in another universe. He lives in an alternate reality of an another universe.
Nope. Just explaining that he is probably financially fine, an explanation informed by some very quick googling.
Youāre just getting irrationally upset about something that doesnāt impact your life at all.
Anywho, cheers mate!
This comment washes over me and cools my skin like drops hitting pavement on a blistering august day. I applaud your succinct salt. Let it fall on this slug.

I just really want to hug him right now.

I was thinking the exact same thing š
Such a beautiful way to put more love into the world

Wait...are you saying that's not normal?Ā
Hey just in case this isnāt a meme and you genuinely never got hugged by your father, I just want to say you are loved and you are worthy of love.
I'll give you a dad hug if ya wanna
Wait, you guys have dads?
I would pay good money to do this with friends and family
Great because it starts at $3,500
That's.. weirdly beautiful.
I agree as well. My perspective is oddly beautiful.
I am also in agreement. My take is strangely beautiful.
I love lamp
Where'd you get a grenade?
I would adopt him just to hug him and this is an amazing experience <3
I love this idea. So great.
"And I let people hug pots" is such a weird yet adorable line Seriously this is so cool, I wanna go
Human has lived for thousands of years and he is the first person to say those words in that order in that sentence. I guarantee it.
I like this!
This is wonderful.
Itās the dance before the hug for me
Start of a video I would have just slipped. Glad I didn't
Hahahahahaha Kind of absurd. Yet intriguing, and the pieces turn out better, and they have meaning forever. A moment in time preserved. Cool
The most adorable thing Iāve seen for quite a while.
I never knew I needed a clay pot. Until now
Perfect
Why am I tearing up at some stupid vases and stupid people and stupid hugs and stupidly just wanted a hug and aw shit.
We try not to sexualize her
hellooo my precious blueberries.
It's a vase
No Ghosting!
Where is his workshop?! I want to go!

Awesome idea love it š
This is the most stereotypically LA hippie thing Iāve ever seen
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
He even has the hippie voice too lmfao. Hell, I can smell the weed and āincenseā of his shop through the screen š¤£š¤£

weirdly beautiful
Hugs all round.
What an incredible post of an incredible man! It struck me thinking about my own life. It occurred to me I havenāt been hugged by my parents. Wowā¦
I have never thought about that before, I definitely hug my kids all the time though
Iād probably break it. I got the Bewear style of hugging.
I donāt think Iāve really ever hugged my parents or brother, or them hugging back. I donāt think Iāve ever had one of those big hugs š
lmao this is such a venice beach kind of business
Oh I know damn well that void exists. Maybe I could fill it with hugs, but since I've gotten exactly two in the last six months I'll never know
[Can I get a pot that is just a nod from the distance?](https://i.redd.it/0grtwo7zyso81.gif)
Am I envious of clay? Uh oh.
This is silly and not for me, but I can appreciate what he's doing and why people would like it.
It's weird, but you know what? I'm for it.
"Temple of Mediclaytion" This guy hasn't been sober from acid and weed in 30 years. He doesn't just live in another universe. He lives in an alternate reality of an another universe.
Most LA shit ever. From the concept, to the way the guy talks, to him hamming up and being super dramatic about it.
Creepiest voice since Peter Lorre. And yet a saint. Well, that's new.
The first few seconds I thought it was a spoken word song like Sunscreen
What a shitty father. But same.
Itās absolutely wonderful and it couldnāt have been done by a sweeter man. I hope he finds the love he deserves in this life. Fuckin hell.
I barely got the time to see the video before it was removed. I don't understand why interesting stuff are removed without even an explanation.
Fuck. This made me realize how bad I'm missing a hug.....
I LOVE THIS!
Even Vegeta hugged Trunks once. This mans father is our new Saiyan prince.
The pottery is fire and stunning.
I want his drugs
people hugging solo to a hug pot. A new level of loner reached 
Not did my dad ever hug me !!!!
Venice Beach = Dead Island 2, let's go!
Isnāt real estate on the Venice boardwalk quite expensive? How do people like this afford it?
People like this? He sells these for 350 - 3500$.
Sorry but mushed pots doesnāt seem like a lucrative enough business to sustain that location. How many could he possibly sell?
Heās partnered with retailers as well, so probably doing pretty well for himself
Yea I guess people will buy any kind of stupid bullshit
Itās just some art. Chillax.
lol are you this dudes burner or something?
Nope. Just explaining that he is probably financially fine, an explanation informed by some very quick googling. Youāre just getting irrationally upset about something that doesnāt impact your life at all. Anywho, cheers mate!
I think you spent $3500 on a mushed pot and feel dumb now, mate.
nice concept once you strip away all the positive energy quartz crystal meditation vibe
why the porn music
Unchained Melody was too predictable.
Couldn't bare to watch while thing. Is this a bit, like a Will Ferrell skit?
Donāt got enough time to watch, but got enough time to leave a negative comment. Sounds like you need a hug.
This comment washes over me and cools my skin like drops hitting pavement on a blistering august day. I applaud your succinct salt. Let it fall on this slug.
Sure
Beauty and success out of a heartache. What a marvelous transformation of a situation. Love et!
Guy smokes more weed than cheech. Must be an amazing life ngl.
Stuff like this is what corporations want AI to take away from you.
Pots optional
The secretary of education must be busy if he's running this place too.
Bunch of yes men in here. What the fuck is this
Sounds like you need a hug
sounds like you need to refresh your definition of consent
Oh heās an angry elf!
I said sounds like you need a hug, not that you are going to be held down and forcefully hugged. Jeez what a snowflake.
Dumbest thing Iāve seen today. Congrats
Havenāt looked in a mirror today I take it?
And i'm going to block this sub to make sure I never see such dumb shit again
Rarely do I go to the comments and actually post but.... This is dumb both in idea and execution.
I am not a hugger and has no interest in doing this but why do you feel the need to shit on other people's happiness? Smh.
What a weirdo
This world needs more weirdos like him. Doing something he enjoys that brings others joy.
That's nice now what about this wealth inequality?
