This is one of the demos from the first day of class. youtube is not a substitute from taking a class with a real person. Getting hit by an instructor when you do something wrong will greatly increase your propensity to learn. Find someplace close you can take a class.

  • hi, i used modelling clay when i first started on the potters wheel, and they don't turn into shapes such as the "cylinder". now i was wondering; in the video, what do you make the balls out of? do you use ceramic? because i am new to pottery and i need some background information. :) thanks.

  • @AKfun2009 This is wet kiln fired clay. Not sure at all how modeling clay would work.

  • hi tim. regards from switzerland! thanks a whole bunch for your lessons/videos - due to them i was able to improve my throwing-skills e-x-t-r-e-m-e-l-y. you rock!!! any chance you're going to give a workship in europe? let me know!

  • @agretha When your ready to fly me to Switzerland I'll be ready to do a work shop. I am glad I could help.

  • So that's what I was doing wrong!  Excellent lesson. Thanks so much for doing this for me when I am not even paying you!

  • Well Nancy it nice to have you aboard. I have seen you before when you visited a pottery I think in seagrove? WOW you make a lot of videos. and if you want to pay me donations can me made to paypal.

  • Thank you very much! now I know how to centre the clay and I did it nicely. Not after half year ceramic class but your video. Thank you once again!

  • i'm jealous with 7:46. i always practice do it but fail. ok. no problem. i will always practice it. :)

  • @OreoIsYumm that's what i thought. lol

  • You could be Tom Green's ceramicist brother

  • great first class example! I am going to watch all of your videos because I am making my own home ceramic studio.

  • You are good dude! I love your instuctions, it has made me to see where I am screwing up.  I struggled through my first two classes and tonight I do my third. I now have a better understanding of what I am doing. I felt so clutsy but tonight I will be using what I have learned from you. More tomorrow if you are interested.

  • @timseepots thanks a lot!
