  • You know the camera angle and mirror really helped with visualizing this demo. I'd also like to know how much clay you used. Thanks for the demo!!!

  • I think it was 1.5 kg ...SL

  • Do you ever throw massive platters? I want to, but am not sure how to go about it, especially drying and keeping from warping in the kiln.

  • I dont generally , as my kiln is too small....I must build a bigger one . Yes drying is important with wide shallow shapes, turn them as they dry & turn upside down so the bases can harden off .Basically the more even the drying the better . SL

  • Is someone taking pictures of you lol? I keep seeing flashed. Nice bowl by the way!!!

  • An interesting view with the camera. I always love seeing how you place your hands so I can try to emulate this and improve my technique. You always make it look easier than it really is. Another fine video. Thanks.

  • i know you were not directing the question to me but I have back problems and have placed my whell on cinder blocks so I can throw while I am standing.

  • Hi Simon,

    I've been wanting to do pottery for a while now, and watching your work has really inspired me to begin. Can i ask , does throwing strain your back?

  • Thanks Simon! Merry Christmas!

  • Simon,

    Great video. Thanks for sharing.

    Best wishes from L.A.

  • Most potters I've met don't like throwing plates. Don't know what that says about us but... there it is.
