I have been throwing for about 12 years and for the last three, instructing. I have found some tools and tricks that have become helpful along the way and thought I'd share. This video will show you how to throw a large bowl on the potter's / pottery wheel.

  • Oz, thank you for the complement. Lifting the pieces off the wheel head from time to time can be tricky! Sometimes bats will stick, if they do, I drill the holes a bit bigger, this way they won't stick (but not too large, so they have too much play).

    DirtKickerStudio! What an awesome name! Glad you could use the video.

  • You're welcome! And I'm very thankful that there is a place like this that I can share what I know with others! I will be posting more video's here soon!

  • nice...

  • interesting techinque when i throw that large i don't stand up while centering and your bowl got extremely off center stop touching it when you don't need to. your pull looked a little uneven could just be me and if you compress your rim after each pull you'll get the rim back on center if your rim ever becomes wobblely also refineing the outside with a rib would help with the wobble of the whole pot

  • WOOooo for Nirvana in the background!
