HELP! I can't pull a wall

[Kbeck94]

Thank you very much :D

[liptontea]

Fantastic video! It is very informative.

[astralslade]

is it true that you have to measure it 

[AdrianSuperfly]

I just want to say thank you SO much! Your videos are great- informational AND funny. Next time I'll put your advice to good use!

I started watching Terraria videos... Somehow I ended up here.. O_o

[TheFruitSquad]

@henkkkah i dont see how thats possible LOL

[Islandaholic]

Hi there! Thanks for the videos, I really love them! I struggle with the "Doughnut" stage, the stage where I've opened up my piece, and about to make it taller with my hands, before I pull it up. I seem to get it off center really easily when I do it this way, and then when I pull it up, it's not consistent all the way around, because it was off centered. Thanks!

Can you make firing videos?

[SpookyCrab]

I love being able to throw decent pottery in my basic 3D art class I TA for. Considering I'm an attention whore I get my daily dose of "Whoa! That's sooo cool! How did you blah blah blah?" And it's all thanks to you (Tim) and Youdan. So thanks.

[Shewhoishollow]

I love your videos. I now know the reasons why my pulling results in twisted and collapsed pieces! I still don't know how what to do about pulling at the top of the wall. I ease off on the pressure but then I have a fat lip! How do you fix that?

[MsRedHare]

Just wanted to let you know how happy I am to have found you. I'm a newbie (about 1 year) and have been getting bored with all the other videos out there. Same thing over and over and over again. I'm loving learning about what I'm doing wrong as well as things to stretch my skills (I love the fake faceting videos!). You are a great teacher. I wish I lived near you!

If my school doesn't have porcelain, how would I throw? How soft should the clay be?

[timseepots]

@farragatish Use what you can get. It all works the same when you don't know what you're doing yet.

[KarateDork]

@farragatish Porcelain is actually very soft and hard to manage. My uncle who does pottery on the side won't even touch porcelain because it's so temperamental. You can pretty much throw with any clay, and most schools have what you need.

[Patotype]

Wooooooo!!! I did it!!! Thank u very very much!!

[timseepots]

@Patotype Glad it worked for you

[astralslade]

@timseepots hi i cant center it do you know how to center it

[abhijitkhansaheb]

Thanks! very timely and helpful.

[Alyzabeth01]

Well, you just addressed every throwing problem I was having before I got totally disgusted and sold my Randall kickwheel last October.

[MamereClaire]

These are the best videos I have seen on throwing. Thank you, I had a teacher who said when we begin to sound like a TV hospital drama-" Oh I think I can save it.

Oh no, let's try compression"., it was time to start with a new piece of clay.

[Patotype]

Thanks a lot Tim! I'm gonna try tonight to pull up a good wall following your instructions!

[albpoolshark]

is that porcelain?

[timseepots]

@albpoolshark It's poor mans porcelain... Bmix Only using it for demos

[albpoolshark]

@timseepots haha well then i think i need some of that cuz im not good enough to throw with porcelain without messing up and having to re-wedge a couple times before getting a full piece. The cost is just not realistic for me when im still learning although i love smooth clay

[finessewes9119]

I attempted to teach a fellow classmate how to pull. it took me alot longer and i had to make up alot of words. you are a great teacher.

[timseepots]

@finessewes9119 That is the same reason I have funny names for things like the flexible metal rib of death or elephant butt.

[farragatish]

Nice!
