You could also make a slab pot base and do the same.

  • do u keep or sale these?

  • Everything I make is for sale in our shop at very reasonable prices.

    These are just £12.50.

    Too cheap.!

    Cheers,Dan.

  • How do you deal with the bat being off? I can hear that it is warped a little, I always feel like that throws me off. Any suggestions?

  • Hi,the banging sound isn't the bat being warped,It's just the wheel motor making the noise when I apply pressure to the clay.

    If you do have a warped bat then you could add a load of thick slip underneath to try to fill in the gaps and stop it wobbling.

    Cheers,Dan.

  • Dan, do you single fire your pieces? Thanks . Ed

  • Hi,no we biscuit fire then glaze fire them all.

    Cheers,Dan.

  • The round top is so symmetrical that when you spun the square base round, it looked like the top wasn't moving, only the square part.

  • Hey Dan, how long do you usually wait to do your smoothing and trimming? I've watched almost all your videos and I can tell its "leather hard" or almost, but I only get to work on my pots once every other day (I don't have a wheel so i work on them at school). I try to smooth them out when they are wet, but the best i can end up with is sponge streaks. any advice would be great. great videos!!
