@4rlorenti It depends on how big your cylinder is and how much you are going to stretch the clay. You may also consider the type of clay body you are using. All of these factors go into deciding how far I can push the clay. I believe it was 13 or 14 inches high.

@jerrysawitz how thick were the walls would you say before you started to belly it out? .......and how tall was the cylinder?

I thought he was going to make it a trapped air piece and cut off the lid.... I think it was a better form for that versus the round bottle with the small neck. etc. Great technique

Is this a special clay? Porcelain, stoneware mixture maybe?

elbows in. make sure you have even pressure with both hands. also make sure that you get a nice, firm connection with the wheel, otherwise itll slide right off.
