  • Throw every day and you will be amazed how much faster your throwing becomes. :)

    oh and it was me throwing, not Lowell. Thanks for posting! Anne

  • Pretty darn nice mugs. What are you firing to?

  • Thanks.. I'm glad you like them :)

    They're fired cone 10 in a gas kiln, and made from local clay found near our studio

  • I somtimes make stuff with Gray Kyotie Klay. It's the best, well thats what I think anyway.

  • For functional ware, we generally use local native clay we dig a few miles from our studio.

    What kind of clay is 'Gray Kyotie Klay'?

  • @webbpots I thought they looked ^10. Way cool.

  • Depending on the size pot you are making, you might use slightly different techniques to open. Regardless..

    A couple of keys to success:

    1) steady motion & even pressure as you pull the clay outward; and

    2) the support to the outside of the wall must be held stable. Here I use my thumb, but for larger pots I use my right hand).

    I brace my arm/elbow firmly & closely against my side and/or leg to give my right hand the support & stability it needs to hold steady, & give better control

  • I mainly have one concern when I trow, and its the step between centering and pulling it up. I see how you did it in the video, but do you have any other suggestions on how not to lose the center while doing it?
