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!

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

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
