Ayumi Horie Dry Throwing

http://www.ayumihorie.com This method of throwing involves no water and I've used it for the last 15 years to make handmade bowls, dishes, plates- all low forms. At Alfred as an undergrad, I developed this dry throwing process in which I trim to center using a pin tool, scoop out the inside using a loop tool and thin out the walls by pushing them out with a rib. I use no water because I like the surface of moist clay, rather than wet. This method allows me to preserve the inherent textures in clay that I love- the stretching, cracking, and sagging. Fingerprints have a different kind of crispness and I can coax out a delicate edge of a line on a massive wall. Using this method, I can also work more spontaneously and intuitively because I dont have to wait for the clay to dry out quite so long. Many thanks to Lullatone and Joe Lutton for music and production!

Ayumi. We are enjoying using our handmade pottery from you. We love the earthenware cups. Handmade pots make life so much better, I think they make my food taste better. Thanks for the great pottery video. Karma says she wants to be in a pottery video now.

Thanks Ron, send in a demo video with some clay scraps on her head and I'll see what I can do

Don´'t know what I like the best - the technique you've invented, or the beautiful synch of video and music.

Either way I love it!
