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

  • soldate 60, pretty standard, i believe.

  • very nice. i have a hard time with centering it. got any tips? anybody?

  • 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.

  • i cannot center a piece that big. or even one the size of a softball. i can cone up and down too many times to count me hands are still flying left and right. any tips?

  • as i said above, keep your elbows in. it'll do wonders.

see all

  • I think you did a great job, thanks for posting now I know how to do a bottle neck. Oh and I watched the whole thing so yea there are people out there willing to see it through. :)

  • amazing how quickly you threw a large bulbous form. beautiful lines!

  • Very nice!! this has helped me improve, i started this winter Check out my work on on facebook if you have time i have alot of my pots on there search Blue Earth Pottery, thanks

  • Amazing :)

  • @jsawitz thank you ...that helps.

  • @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

  • I watched the entire thing! How fun! He's really good.

  • good music
