dan how do you get your pots perfectly center????

[violet46]

I tried throwing pottery for the first time yesterday and boy, you sure do make it look easy! And it's not as easy as it looks folks, especially if it's your first time! I'm determined to master this wonderful art though.

[trillfire]

the right speed plus the right amount of water and finger pressure will make the clay move fairly easy, if your afraid of the clay you wont get it, but it your too bold n aggressive you will fail also. this art takes a lot of patiences that most people don't have, including me

[macuser575]

how do you take it off the wheel when the walls are so thing i always do it in ceramics and i mess it up

[LilSpyroDragon]

love your work but you need to get above angles so we can see how you open the clay

[737Pilot122]

Dude that's crazy fast, I wish I was that good, any secrets?

[TheShow871]

That is soooo cool.

[randompplzdoinrandom]

wow!! i tried this when i went to mexico last summer nd right when i threw it down the whole thing flew back in my face cuz i put too much water on the wheel at first... we ended up just buying one lolz

[ahotlama]

generally how thick ar the walls of your vases/pots?

[Tazne]

beautifully done.

[Sirio1969]

Thanks very much for your videos, the video is high cuality

[icgitar]

Hi dan! how come you can use so much water when you are throwing a large pot? it my highschool studio by the time we are done making anything it is nearly stone dry!we use red, white, and raku clays btw

[lastsanelunatic]

you make it look sooo easy--- i've been throwing for about a year now, and i can make mugs, teapots, long necked vases, pitchers, and bottles to my heart's content.... but bowls, for some ungodly reason, i just cannot get. the rim always gets too wide and splays out and collapses... what do you do to keep it from doing that?

[karenjimenez]

amazing

[randy95060]

Much better camera angle. Now we can see what the outside hand is doing. Beautiful bowl.

[ninuchi]

you make it look SO easy but those who have tried throwing ONCE know how HARD THIS IS!!!

amazing job!!!

[OftenCommunicant]

fantastic...you make it look like magic.

[ndelayne]

Wow you are amazing!! Your skill has tought me so much - but I do have to say you sure make it look easy - and hopefully someday it will be for me. Awesome work!!

[tmonkeypunch]

There's a saying that to make a 20 lbs bowl you need to start off with 25 lbs (more or less).

This guy pretty much used pound for pound to make that bowl. No wasted clay. Amazing.

[o0Jinxx0o]

i like the shape very much :)

[TheArmySongs]

how do u pritnt video beacause i wannna

[virga1]

i am so amazed when i see people throw like this. one speed, one fell swoop -- it is truly impressive. just have to keep practicing.....

[llacali09]

wow!

i wish i could throw clay like this!

you're so pro. haha, you centered in about 5 seconds....its takes me a few tries at 10 minute interals to center correctly.

i hate you!

but at the same time i worship you. haha

good job.

[bsboy20]

centerings fairly easy just takes practice that takes skill

[Hoboe630]

does your wheel have a wobble and how do you center it so easily i have to force the clay up and down a couple times to center it?

[Piggieelaydee]

I have never thrown clay before...

I would love to try one day ;]

[stanger1904]

if i used that much water and made it thin it would just fold.. guess that shows u have some real talent

[DirtKickerStudio]

I like the base on this pot. Is it rounded?

[asianx7]

sweet shape

[leeuw666]

you make verry nice work!!!

[criticalcato9]

You seem to use mostly your fingertips, no knuckle or hand pad action. And yet your hands look almost delicate. Where is the strength required to move such a large amount coming from? And what about the foot? Do you dig it out or leave it as is? If you did turn it, would it throw the bowl off balance?

[youdanxxx]

Just technique I suppose.

I do use a Knuckle lift on taller things.

[THEamazazing]

what type of caly r you using?

[youdanxxx]

Just normal Stoneware clay.

Cheers,Dan

[reynolpe]

what kind of bats are you using? They seem really thin.

[youdanxxx]

They're home made out of some kind of Epoxy Resin an fibres so they're very thin,light,stiff and waterproof.

[capabel1]

I like how your wheel is a big bath tube.  You seem to use a TON of water which would probably help. My little wheel doesn't have any room to hold water and I hate how my clay gets dry so easily. What kinda wheel is it?

[youdanxxx]

I always use lots of water,the wheel is just some old commercial one.

What I've done is drilled a hole in the side of the wheel,attached some pipe,and the water just drains away into a bucket,so the wheel actually never gets more than a quarter of an inch deep in water.

[cheesypopcorn9]

lovely

[punkyloo]

very nice!!!!

[dapottery]

Nice, fantastic!!
