  • there are many questions i want to ask because im in my 2nd year of ceramics and im doing an African Udu drum.

    1st how many pounds did you use for this project?

    2nd when lifting, my cylinder tends to flare out, but when i close it back in, my whole cylinder starts to wobble, any tips?

    3rd is there a certain way to center the clay?

    4th what is the best way to lift the clay?

    5th how do you make it to where the cylinder becomes a sphere? any tips

  • @SyphonFilter26 The answer for your 1st question is in the annotation at the beginning of this video. I recommend you watch my other videos before you ask more questions because the answer might be in the other videos, especially my video # 44, 45. To search my videos, please type"mypots.net" in Youtube's search box or if you know how to go to my channel it will be easier.

  • Does the B-mix with grog help with obtaining the height ?

  • No, adding B-mix was to prevent pots from becoming too brittle after reduction fired.

  • Thank you for the video, I assume that you are still using T2.

  • B-Mix with grog and T-2, 1:2 ratio

  • and without any stains on your pants... DAMN YOU SKILLED GENIUSNESS!!!

  • @SyphonFilter26 I did an Udu drum :D but I never did it on the wheel, I worked with slabs. To give you a tip on that. Udu drums are only fired once. If you listen to the video on my page you can listen to both sounds when its fired once and fired twice. I think its called " Udu second made"

  • this is fab! I have to demo a closed form for my class tonight and I haven't done one in about 5 yrs so watching you was just what I needed! thanx!!!

  • I can usually manage to make a pot without peeing myself as well, who likes stained pants? lol jokes aside, GREAT WORK! (and that is an understatement)

  • what type of clay do u use? is it cone 5 or higher?

  • zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

    

  • Hello. Love toe video!!! Can you tell about your hand position during lifting???

  • I agree with lghtme, I see people making pots so quickly, but that's not the point is it...the point is to make them well and yours are just LOVELY! Love your forms!
