  • Is porcelain easier to throw and sculpt than regular clay?

  • Matt says that when the tapping makes a resonant drum-like sound the wall is becoming appropriately thin... - on behalf of Matt.

  • I think that Matthew Blakely is the best at pottery

    from I.L

  • Porcelain is challenging to throw. The bigger the piece the more difficult it is to keep the it from collapsing. Matthew is an awesome artist.

  • easier to throw, no. It is a softer clay and can very easily be manipulated especially when being thrown. However that doesn't make it easier to throw. too much pressure with one hand could make your pot go off center. beginners should stay away from porcelain until they get better at throwing

  • that is soooo cool- he's my bf's dad!

  • do you keep the slurry in the wheel well and use it to throw with?

  • Can I ask... when trimming, Matthew taps and listens... I know he's checking thickness.... how does a thin pot sound different to a thick pot?

  • its has less or little to no sand so you necessary to use less water or its more likely to collapse on itslef or warp,

    so its structural while throwing but after being fired, it is stronger than most other clays and is harder to break
