[strahonja]

Andy, great videos!! I saw your architectural sculptures/sceletons, very nice... are those hand built pieces or extracted/carved or....firing on those is veeery nice

are you going t0 have any workshops in Massachusetts/New England?

[bogie13p]

Great video! I wish I had watched this before I made my first 20 cylinders! Oh well, I'll go throw some more cylinders tonight and try the 6 step method and see how they turn out. Thanks for posting.

Auu, you've made the process make sense. As a beginner it all seemed so magical. Now I understand what the process really entails. I think this will take a lot of the frustration out of the learning and make it easier to feel more comfortable on the wheel and speed up the learning process. Thanks SO much.

Thank you so much! My ceramics teachers doesn't teach this well.

[misslori66]

the way that you collar in step 3 is really interesting. I am anxious to try that out and see what results I get. Great video.

PS- the walls of your piece were amazingly even!!!

May I ask how much clay do you think you have there? I swear it grew. It appears to be only 1000 grams or so but then looks as if you have twice that. Very nice in any case.

[AndyRuble]

Hi,

I use 2 pounds (less than 1000 grams) of clay for my six steps demo. Thanks for looking!

[travismagick]

Awesome! You've filled in a lot of holes that have been left by other teachers. I can't wait to get back into class! Thanks.

Your wheel is turning really fast, it seems. I've always heard and read that the biggest mistake beginners make is to run the wheel to fast when they are pulling - especially on electric wheels.

Your thoughts?

[Marihani]

Thanks so much for posting this. I will give it a try as soon as I can get to my wheel!

[nancy5750]

This is amazing! Thank you for doing this series - and thanks for the detailed explanations of every step with the cutaways. I can't wait to get started following your six steps. I know I'll have a much easier journey to the "coveted number six" now.

You are the best teacher. Thanks!!

[jonathanb921]

This series is great. Thanks.

[K9Mom]

This pottery newbie thanks you tons for posting these! I wish my teacher taught like this.

[bookjunky23]

Thanks for posting these. I've been out of pottery for a while and trying to get back into it without a teacher, but struggling to regain my skills. I think you've helped me pinpoint my problem (moving too fast, what else?). Really helpful and well explained.

[foxmill4life]

these are the most helpful videos in my learning process so far with throwing. thanks!

[vpfree4me]

[rubleandy]

I'm using a clay called sculpture raku clay made by clayplanet in santa clara.

Sorry for the sound, and thanks for checking it out!
