  • amateur hour. get back in the kitchen

  • the cracking also has to do with airbubbles in the clay which come from bad wedging

  • What is the density of clay and how much does it shrink % from wet to fired? Thanks!

  • why you sticking your finger at me ):

  • 1:21 shes sticking the middle finger

  • help on getting it off the wheel would be greatly appreciated

  • I was hoping someone might offer suggestions on how to avoid warping in both drying and bisque stage

  • U R Awsome nice work

  • I throw many plates in a year and none of them crack, even through I only lightly compress. So I think, that the tendency to crack is a lot to do with the type of clay.

  • Great Video, Thank you, Matt
