I'm really enjoying this lesson.

The way you decribe #3 is just right, I wished I'd have used that the other day with a student of mine. So many more reasons to keep watching and telling more people about your great videos Simon. I feel like I'm a good teacher but you know somtimes you just have to use different discriptions & wording with people. Every time I watch another video of yours, I find new ways, words and discrptions! Thank you so much, Simon for helping us all get better! DebraRay

wow that was strange, i thought they were huge pieces until you put your hand in there and it dwarfed them

Brilliant, absolutely Brilliant, This is one of the best explainations of pulling a cylinder that I have ever seen. You are providing such an incredible service with these videos. Bravo and thank you!!!!!

I have just started working with clay and throwing pots. These videos are clear, concise and to the point. This one, in particular helps to give me an idea of what should be happening as I begin the process of centering and getting a basic shape to the pot. Thanks so much. Keep up the videos. They are addictive!

Thanks for posting this Simon. Can you please talk about how soft the clay wants to be some time? I am finding that I encounter trouble when it is too stiff or if I have not wedged the clay enough and it has varying qualities. I am sure I can muddle my way to the answer through empirical testing, but hearing your comments would be very much appreciated. Many thanks for sharing all this fantastic material with us.

Kind regards,

Chris

Hi Simon. You're simply terrific and videos truly helpful. Could we use this same 7 form visual guide/aid to throwing cylinder serve as an aid to throwing bowls? or would they be different? and what stage(s)? Thanks.

I can´t wait till I have the time to try these shapes. I shall have the family for easter dinner on saturday, so I have to clean the house and make food. First thing sunday morning I will start my trowing wheel.

Thanks so much Simon! I was blown away by your generosity in sharing such an important lesson. I have only just found you and haven't started throwing as yet so this will be an invaluable lesson from 'THE MASTER' I bet both your father and grandfather are watching with pride and you never know they may even be taking notes!

Thanks so much again, kind regards, yours in awe, Nel (from England)
