Simon the tankards are very nice I am in the process of building a wheel like the one you throw on and would like to know the weight of the flywheel if possible...PS keep the vids comming I love to watch you throw when I cannot get behind the wheel at school...Thank you for the inspiration!
Simon, thank you for all your videos. I am appassionate of doing raku ceramic for many years, now my sun construite for me a wheel and I start to learn on it. Uh, I have problems with centering, but I don't give up. When I see you, it gives me many optimism, and when you say "keep practising" it gives me power to go on.
Simon, I wish you good work and keep to send us more videos.
I appoloiged you for my english, I hope you understend me anyway.
I learned to throw initially on an old manual wheel almost 3 decades ago. Now, I'm in ceramics II class to refresh those lessons/fill in blanks. I'm lefty but throwing right-handed & it feels natural w/o any ill effects. MOF, I threw an olive oil pitcher today like the one Simon has in his videos. Mine is much shorter from throwing too thin on the bottom but it appears to be functional and thick enough to survive the kiln. Next is handle and stopper. Hope this helps.
This is great stuff Simon. Just one simple thing that might be interesting for you to try - use a camera position which shows what YOU can see rather than showing us what you're doing as an outside observer. For someone trying to learn from you (which I would love to try) I think that might help. What do you think ?
It is true that I always find myself trying to twist into a position so my hands are in the same relationship as they appear to you. Usually everything appears backwards to the onlooker. Maybe a video taken with a mirror........... hmmmmm.
How much clay to use to make this?

are you left or right handed? does that make a difference to pottery in this style?

Hi Peter , I am right handed : maybe if the wheel went around the other way ,like in Japan left handers would find throwing more easy ? I dont know ?

hi - yes a good idea but short of strapping the camera on to the side of my head ....!!!!
Maybe I could suspend it from the ceiling - I'll give it some thought ! SL

Another amazing video, and the background noise was almost non-existant don't worry.
Thanks for uploading :]
