  • That gorgeous, gleaming white porcelain is really something. Thanks. Why do you work off the hump for this pot, is it so that after you run the wire under it, it's easier to lift and remove? I really love the shape of your pot.

  • @goforkt Hi, if the pots aren't too big, I throw most of them off the hump. There is nothing to do with easy lift or remove from the wheel. It my personal preference and the way I had been taught.

  • do you do anything special when drying the second lid you showed us how to make? being that so much clay is leave to trim for the knob

  • @js74858 No, I didn't do anything special to dry the lid.

  • Nice to see someone that still trims the bottoms! What is the type of clay you use in this video?

  • Now why didnt i think of that! That's an awesome way to trim those kinds of lids!

  • As always, so impressive. I cannot believe the ease with which you pull work off of the hump. It's apparently something I am incapable of doing without disfiguring the pot miserably. I've surrounded my life with bats! The unfortunate part is that centering and maintaining center while working small amounts of clay is such a bear for me, so throwing smaller pots (1 lb or less), is so attractive to do off of the hump. :o/

  • The stone you use for final burnishing is that a piece of quartz or citrine? Just wondering.

  • Why its the clay you use so white?

  • you got skills man

  • @hsinchuen I have started resting the lid on a small piece of plaster and laying plastic over the lip and its been working very nicely to dry the big chunk out for the trim job
