A speeded up video showing my attempt to throw a 7kg vase. I have been increasing the amount of clay I can handle. Need more practice to throw more economically, but getting there.

  • Those were some fatty K.P.'s. Nice work! (Knuckle Pull). Needs work on the finishing tho.

  • Thanks for the feedback. I know: practice, practice, practice!

  • good job on this one, that;'s a lot of clay. Now I have to give it a go... Good to see someone else all covered in the clay they are working.

  • Thanks Mark. I'm a really messy worker! I think that this is down to experience, when I watch the expert Japanese they are always spotless!

    Mark.

  • The wheel is a bit fast in the beginning for me . Bigger the pot the slower the wheel. Also I would try to cone in a bit more before the second pull when you are going for a taller pot. Think of the early pushing in of the clay as a preparation time for the big lift . Really great third pull !!! Great rib work .

    You are doing great!! Setting up for a bottle think of the collaring in as a moving arch sitting on top of a dome . Amazing how strong a push you can give it when using an arched line. G

  • Thanks for your feedback G. The reason the wheel is fast is because I doubled the speed of the video to cut down on the size of the upload! Thank you for your tips they are fantastically useful.

    Mark.

  • Pretty darn cool.

  • I held my breath a few times for you! :-) Fun video.

  • Now if they had done that on the Soil Hill Button movie we would all have been left behind >>Most of the English bigware throwers used Steel ribs for more torque by the way . For XX xestreem throwing !!! All the very best and great work !! Guy

  • I was just thinking to myself it might be a good idea to use a wooden rib to pull that amount of clay ,when one appeared. great minds think alike,.... good stuff !! That looked like fun!!
