  • how many years have you been at this? You are the best I have seen on you tube! Very inspiring!

  • Thank you.

    I only started in my 20s and I'm still in my 30's (just)

  • whenever I throw wide forms with narrow tops

    the should always seems to collapse on me

    is this because my walls are too thin

    or is it bc I shaping it too aggressively?

  • Could be too thin or the clay being too soft.

  • When you were expanding the form, were you using a rib on the inside, or your fingers/hand?

    I notice you use what appears to be a lot of water; do you find that helps. I am trying to minimize my use of water to keep the clay plastic and workable. Any comment?

  • Hi,I've never used a rib in my life,just my fingers to open it up.

    I use a lot of water because if I don't my fingers tend to grip on the clay and send it out of shape.

    Personally I would use as much water as you can as it's really just a lubricant and eases the lifting and widening....for me anyway.

    But It's not an exact science so whatever you find best for you then stick to it.

    Cheers,Dan

see all

  • That was so frickin cool!!!!!!!! I am just starting on the electric wheel and on my kick wheel I can get a vase going but when I try to get it to come in it collapses. Also on the third to fourth pull up it would collapse. Any suggestions?

  • It was like watching magic happen. I'll be starting ceramic classes and hope that one day my pottery will be as beautiful as yours someday!

  • so cool

  • It's utterly fluid how you work, you don't hesitate.

    I'm still working on throwing, almost want to give up

    when I see your videos. Yet at the same time, I have the

    biggest desire to get on the wheel again.
