I like your tea bowls. There is just so much personality and freedom.

I recently posted a series on tea bowls. Lots of fun.

I admire your ability to thow off the hump. It's a real challenge for me. I seem to get an un recoverable wobble. I also end up with S cracks. How do you compress the base when you throw off the hump?

cool

There is absolutely no reason this could be considered a "japanese" tea bowl.

@kidkabitzer agreed. nothing about this demo indicates a Japanese tea bowl.

Wow, aren't the wall and the lip extremely thick? I wonder how pleasant it is to drink from them. Cool, though.

[offcenteredpotter]

they aren't really intended to be drank from considering they will be raku.

Been a while since I looked in on you. Your having fun, I can tell.

When you know what your doing it's time to pair back. That's true confidence.

Cheers, Andrew.

hmm

I envy you with clay

you have the luxury of working with a medium which always looks good ;)

glass always looks horrible unless its perfect to the point..... or maybe im just a perfectionist

Nailed it once again my friend! I tried throwing off the hump for the first time last week. Ended up with 8 peices off an 8lb hump. My instructor also made the reccomendation of going "double thumb" when opening up. Hopefully it compresses and prevents S cracks in the fire. Thanks for posting this clip, super awesome!!

I like your comment about little imperfections making the piece very pretty. Lately I've been trying to focus less on perfection of the piece and more on charm.

Thanks! Great Video.
