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 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?

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 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'?
