Making a clay pottery Tagine Moroccan Cooking Pot on the potters wheel throwing demo

[Timbear45]

Fantastic video...pottery is a strange kind of alchemy to me, and such a joy to watch the creative process.

[elainethepotterful]

Did you just glaze the inside of the top and bottom?

(Lovely throwing skills!)

[yaseenarchuletta]

ZWIIIIINE BAZAF!!!!

[haeresy]

I have a quick question, how does one make a terracotta pot/tajine like this flame proof? As I made a BBQ out of terracotta and it cracked down the side with it's first use. ANyone got any ideas as I know you can buy terracotta earthware which is flame proof? Is there a special process to make it have this ability?

[dulsecielo]

Does the food tastes different cooking it in one of these??

where can I buy one ??

[Bigfoot10203]

Wow! You're professional.

[soumire]

5 seconds were enough to subscribe. absolutely magical!

[puggychu]

Amazing! Its like watching a magic show :) Beautiful object appeared out of a plain blob!

[kitbeethoven]

Lovely work, great hands, perfect music, fine video angle! Inspiring. Thank you.

[Love2TravelAway]

WOW!!! I took pottery in College, wish I could of done at least a coffee mug, God has given you two gifted hands.

[mrdavetail]

for sake of reference can you tell me approximately how much clay was used? in lbs or kg? also - you are a true master at your craft. thanks for all the vids

[jessypooh24]

I think it turned out just fine. great job.

The music is Smetena's "The Moldau," a tone poem about the flow of the Moldau river. One of my favorite pieces, next to "Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks."

これはすごい！これは素直に感動しました。

自分もやってみたい！

What is the classical music playing in the video? It is so nice..

[albpoolshark]

im in a ceramics class and ever since i sat down at the wheel I've been obsessed... personally i like using a lot of water when i throw although my teacher seriously disagrees. Its nice seeing someone as yourself throw because it shows that i don't need to change my way just because someone says it's "wrong"

[venetiancat]

AWESOME! I've been wanting to make one of these for a while as a gift to my husband, now you have inspired me. LOVE your choice of music too :) BTW, I am going to use Laguna 250 Raku clay-I find that it holds up very well to open flame and electric stoves, and I have successfully used in for all my cookware. I stain it with iron oxide for beauty. Thanks SO much for posting : )

[acidfriend47]

it makes me wonder how the hell do you do that design at the end lol now that is true Skill. XD

[zobzob]

for sure its not your first ,but is a good job.

[morriswil32]

How does this pot work as a cooker?  Do you put it on hot coals or something and bake with it?

[mckennasit]

do you glaze this at all?.....and is this for the top of the stove or in the oven?

love your work

[15commandments]

Dan, I love your style when you lift the clay after opening it. I've tried to recreate it since it appears to be very efficient but I've had no luck. Any pointers?

[TheDraindeimo]

@15commandments Lol that makes two of us XD

[rubberstampman]

Excellent music choice, The Muldau!

[rmcdaniel423]

@rubberstampman I was going to make this reply, but you beat me to it! I totally agree!!

[BonzaiBunghole]

how much clay did yo use for each piece?

[zoeybaldwin]

Do you make a hole in the top/handle?

[Jackmagmason]

cool

[MoroccanSword]

you have to show some respect to those skilled craftsmen whenever you buy or use those clay tagine pots !. excellent job

[rozniy]

When I watched this, I remembered the pottery scene from "Ghost" and the song "Unchained Melody"... LOL!

[24gadget]

cool

[SofhiaX]

I love watching pottery bakers at work. The spinning is quite therapeutic.

[hennalicious1]

im moroccan very impresed....;)

[sousoukitchen]

It looks great except like you said, the lid should have been deeper.

Thanks for sharing, keep up the good work, if you open a tagine shop in the USA, let me know I will come shopping.

[benscratch]

@sousoukitchen he works in the UK

[cdmudslinger]

You are right....to cook much in them I found it better to make them deeper...more goodies for the cooker... I loved throwing the knob on the lid...first time I ever tried it...cool..

[cdmudslinger]

Hello again....I have been working on these too..it is great to watch a master do them...My last one's lid stuck...kiln over fired...oh well more practice...right?

[0emk1]

Dan, is the material you used ok for stove top? Please excuse the ignorance but I was trying to imagine cooking in a flower pot :-)

[youdanxxx]

If you use the correct Terracotta Clay fired to a high enough temperature it's fine on the stove,although Gas is better as some halogen hobs aren't suitable apparently.

[maradnus09]

How do you get such considerable height in th first pull (the one where you wrao both hands around the clay and essentially collar in)?

When I do as you do, I cannot keep the clay moist enough for me to get much height. I also get deep ridges from my right ring finger digging into the clay.

[youdanxxx]

Use really soft clay and tonnes of water.

[leeuw666]

nice work!!

[kroraven]

Very interesting! Thank you ;-D

[DirtKickerStudio]

Tagines are wonderful to cook in.  They actually create a cooking environment that is constantly basting the food, which makes meat extremely tender and flavorful.

Nice job!

[clearvision5]

This is just great! Thanks for sharing...keep them coming!!!!

[MamereClaire]

You are an amazing potter.

[eagleriverpotter]

First pull at the beginning is by far the coolest to watch. Thanks for the vid!

[skycub99]

WOW you made one!!!! you did it so much easier than i did lol, thanks alot for the demo. i feel special now, never had anyone actually make a video to one of my questions!!! i ended up doing ALOT of trimming on mine.

[Alyzabeth01]

Pretty cool:)
