Attempting to make / throw my biggest clay pottery vase ever

Ingleton Pottery http://www.ingletonpottery.co.uk After many requests to see how big I could make a vase.
Here's my effort.
My wheel is too fast to make enormous vases but this one was big enough for me.

Dan, this is simply facinating. I have been thowing in school for about a year now and am looking into getting a wheel. I was curious what type of clay you use because from seeing your large vases to your flimsy candle sticks, the clay must be very versitile.

thanks

@freakydeakydude22 Hi,all the pots are thrown in Grey Stoneware clay.

Cheers.

are you in a cave?

Hi Dan, I was wondering do you have your own kiln for firing?

[snowboardskater1102]

i heard if you use urine to wet the clay it keeps its form while pulling better

@ramEnmozes you don't have a cave in your house?

hi, im still really young, like 14, but i find pottery very interesting and im hoping i can persevere with it when im older and have a job, it looks like a really neat hobby through which i could channel my creative personality, i truley admire your work and think you are quite skillful at what you do! :)

Hey Dan,

This is really incredible to watch. I've been throwing for a while and I have trouble when I make pulls up. Sometime my hands and the clay will get dry and it will mess up my pull. Does this happen to you?

Hey dan, your videos and your skill is truly amazing. Pottery looks like so much fun. It so relaxing to just watch. Well im still very young but this stuff looks very fun and rewarding :) Is Pottery hard to learn and master? If so, how long at average?
