[lost97457]

your videos are incredible!

[muditsallabout]

Thanks for making this video. Just found it this morning. You are so talented. Thanks so much for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us all.

what is the first tool you used to make the chatter?

[yuisato54]

You are such a good potter and teacher.

My chattering tool does not bounce and only leaves thin lines... Is my piece too soft? How tight do you hold your tool, and how much pressure do you apply to the tip of your tool against your pot? Thank you again for your awesome videos!!

is your clay leather hard when you start trimming?

[Mundm123]

i didn't like the part when you were cutting it in half, because it was quite beautiful^^

[hsinchuen]

@Mundm123 Hi, cutting it in half is for educational purpose.

[incilakay]

thank you so much. Being a Turkish potter and having no chance to workshops your video teaches me so much. You are always wellcome to Bodrum.- the south part of Turkey and be our guest. Thanks for sharing your deep knowledge. Just know that you are appreciated so much. inci - self thought potter

Your work is outstanding and your videos and teaching methods are so clear and helpful. I especially like the way you use the tools to create chattering. When doing this technique, is there an angle that you must hold the tool? I see the wheel spins at full speed. Thank you for sharing. I would love to have my own studio some day. This is totally obsessing!

where can i purchase the trimming tools used in this video?

[WallowingInTheMud]

@HunterFazlollahi He makes these tools from hacksaw blades. The demonstration video for making the tools is #7 in his series. It is titled "Making your own Trimming Tools From Hacksaw Blades"

Great video! You work so well - very precise and economical gesture. It is a pleasure to watch, thank you for sharing.

what did you use to burnish the foot??a polished rock?

[95CDH]

how did you form the cracked look throughout the outer wall of the bowl?

[WallowingInTheMud]

@95CDH Are you talking about the chatter marks? He uses the tool as demonstrated in this video, then highlights the chatter marks by his choice of underglazes, oxides, and glazes.

[WallowingInTheMud]

@95CDH Oops, or did you mean the glaze crackling? That's caused by using a glaze with a different "fit" to the clay body. Google "crackle glaze pottery" or similar search term.

[WallowingInTheMud]

@95CDH Found it! Look at his #37 video entitled "Rubbing Ink into the Crackle Glaze to Enhance the Pattern"

[sarab7070]

what is that glaez?

[TheRakuman]

Nice! Great demonstration and it was helpful to see the profile after you cut it in half. Thank you!

[gypsyjumper]

I think my eyes popped out of my head a bit when you cut the bowl in half.... it was so beautiful! :'(

Thanks for sharing these techniques!!! I definitely learned a bunch!! :D

Another inspiring video. I find that as my pottery progresses, I am more inclined to texture, and the amazing control in using colored slip while green. I've seen too many forms I like, be destroyed with a glaze that didn't add to the form's character. Thank you again for sharing.

[hsinchuen]

@john6283a  Thanks for your comment. If your are interested, I have more pottery making videos on Youtube. Please just type keyword "mypots" to search those videos.

[mydearsushi]

so cool!!!!!!!!!!! I like the way you trim it

could you show me how you color the bowl? THX :)

[hsinchuen]

@mydearsushi  Hi, can you tell me how long of pottery experiences do you have? Then I can decide how to explain to you my glazing process in the way you will understand.

[mydearsushi]

@hsinchuen

I am taking a beginning ceramic class, we are done with three classes .

Now we are talking about how to find the center on the wheel

Thanks

[hsinchuen]

@mydearsushi In order to show the texture, I have two options. First, I can use the glazes that show different color variation such as Temoku or Shino. Second, I will apply stain or under glaze and then sponge off the stain, and the texture pattern is left with the residual stain. I then can use some kind of transparent glazes to cover it. The bowl in the beginning of this video clip, I just applied red Iron oxide on the brown texture part and sponged off since my clay body is porcelain.

[leweeja66]

That was great. Thank you. I only seem to get chatter when i don't want it.
