@whitemudpottery, the top and bottom of the walls are the thickest at about 3/4 to 1/2" and the belly thins out to about 1/4", very thin for a pot of this size. We're able to get away with one sitting construction by using clay that is more firm than one would normally throw with and on larger pots charcoal heaters help to dry the bottom third from the outside (and sometimes from the inside), also it helps that there is major compression from the paddling. Thanks for watching!
@shettdogg, the video is in real time, I didn't edit out any drying time, the pots are made in one sitting. A charcoal heater helps to dry the bottom third of larger jars to avoid collapse during making (the jar in this video is considered medium size, no heater used). This is what sets Onggi apart from other large pot traditions, quick & efficient!
I have those tools. Now I know what there for. I'll attempt a pot like that one day. Great video. Looks very natural to him. Thank you for the upload.
@albpoolshark, I had a basic foundation and can read Hangul (Korean characters) but it was a whole new vocabulary around the studio, luckily the pots made for good props to use in hand motion communication when necessary.
i like how in this video they show you how they start out by wedging and placing it on the wheel. I am impressed with out they took the coil then flattened it out then placed it onto the bottom part. Ive never seen it done like that before! once again i like the method of using the wooden paddle to help connect all the pieces together
amazing! i dont know what to be.... an artist or pottery person....ive been doing art for many years,its okay. but pottery just seems more fun to do...
the process is so simple yet it seems the reason so many people dont do it is because they dont know about it, probably because the pots they make look to perfect to think any differently of, or its just to hard to master the technique, i want to see this in person, this is absolutley sick, and i appreciate how you respond to all of your comments thanks a lot
Yes, I love the simplicity of the process, very much of the old-world.
At first I thought this seemed to be an EASY way to make large pots. In fact, it is a QUICK way to make large pots. This process is extremely physically demanding and the technique is, as you said, hard to master. I feel that I am just now starting to figure it out after 10 months of my apprenticeship.
I agree, not enough people know about this amazing process, that's what motivates me to keep these videos coming. Thanks
Actually it isn't flower, nor is it flour. It is clay powder (kaolin), but you were right about its purpose, it helps to keep the pot from sticking to the wheel so it can be lifted off easily when finished.

How thick are the walls on these finished pots, I find it incredible that they do it all in one sitting!

물론 이렇게 만드시기까지 수없는 시행착
오를 거쳤겠죠. 간단하다는 말은 배우기 쉬워 보인다는 말입니다. 만드신 분 오해 없으시길. ^ ^
