Just went back to see a few of your videos again. I am really happy to see this particular one, as I continue be become baffled by some of the common throwing errors that still come up. I know I will come back to it again and again, until I get it right.
Thanks Tim, Great instructional videos. Almost all my learning on the wheel is from You Tube potters. I refer back to yours often. You have inspired me to keep at it during that difficult learning phase. December 2009 I bough a wheel and 300 lbs of clay and dedicated 1-2 hours a night for 90 days and was able to advance beyond the basics. Today I launched my first ever YouTube video of me throwing a pot on the wheel. Check it out if you have time.
Hi Tim, glad to see you answering some posts recently. I'm (still) having a little trouble centering and I'm thinking that the clay just might be too hard! When I watch your videos (and all the rest out there) I notice the clay looks a heck of a lot softer than what I'm using. Any tips on making the clay just a LITTLE bit softer..and actually, how soft should it be? Could you say poke a finger into it easily? Appreciate any tips you could give. Thanks!
Subscribed.....I'm new at this...."wife is teaching me" but she is refreshing also ....just got a wheel/kiln .....this video helps alot ... keep up the good work
I don't know if my problems come from the wedging, which I do on a plastic cutting board that it probably too porous. None of the vids here talks about wedging surfaces and I know you don't even wedge at all, so I feel @ a loss here. Any advice will be grreatly appreciated!!
finally! a video that actually explains how to center and fix all the problems associated with it, rather than just filming it without any explanation. best video ive seen so far on youtube. thanks so much.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU - you are DA BEST teacher EVER!!! Your videos are the MOST iinformative of all. I cant say enough of how much I've learned from you, your description of what moves to do and NOT do, etc...I''ve never finished watching your videos without a smile! Thank you again and welcome back! and (as also with me) whatever issues you were facing, may you have learned something or forgotten something from them. GB
@bobbutnot These are example of common mistakes people make when centering. For a viedo without mistakes there is "centering and posture explained" and "First day or class"
Thank you thank you thank you. I learnt to centre on a standing wheel and the technique was just not transferable to a sitting wheel. After watching your technique and after many attempts I have now thrown 6 (you count them) 6 cylinders. I can't wait to get back to the studio again.
Thanks so much!, I'm so glad I saw your videos before heading up to my ceramics class this morning. I was getting so frustrated with the centerng of the clay and making a cilinder, yesterday I felt like I would never learn to throw and about to quit classes. Thanks to you I have made 1 very decent cilinder. I'm sooo happy!!
Thank you, I have been fighting with my clay for a while now. I learnt to center on a standing wheel and am now sitting so I will give your methods a try.
Yayyyy!!!! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!! ...for making another video! :D I'm so excited, I was starting to give up on throwing because I kept running into these problems. Without an instructor it can get kind of frustrating... :\ I can't wait to get back on the wheel!
glad you're back!! excited to learn some new stuff! do you think you could do a tutorial on throwing big things and knuckle lifts and such, I seem to REALLY get uneven walls when throwing big and I think its because of my lifting technique, what technique do you use?
I JUST went to your Facebook page today to see what the heck happened to you. You've been missed here on You Tube. You're so talenented, both as a potter and as a clear and engaging teacher. I always pick up something useful from your videos. Thanks again. Rick

I wish it was as easy to do as it is easy to watch...
