It seems opening and pulling up the wall is dependent on the 2heel spinning faster than the pulling. Wonderful new info to help me! Thank you xxx

I’m really surprised you could make a tallish vase with 1lb of clay. Mine looks like a coffee cup! Beautiful work. Love your videos, thank you.

I see you don’t respond to comments. But if you do, is that mold made or purchased?

What glaze do you use. I bought a Duncan clear dipping glaze by mistake, do I just dip once for once fired to bisque piece Or?

It is also how close are your fingers are as you pull up. I teach students the distance between your fingers is constant as you pull up. With each consecutive they get a little closer and closer.

Best video for fat bottoms🎉

I teach all my students to do this. No one likes a fat bottom. lol

Thank you so much for these useful tips ❤

I always wondered how to get them to stay without flying off! That tip about rhe water is just what i was missing, thank you!!

Wow I have never seen anyone open the same way I do. I teach begineers this way to open their clay.

I started 8 years ago. I am 22 and started pottery in 8th grade. We were only able to do handing and I don’t think we even had a slab roller or extruder. I loved it so much but I left the toxic middle school I was at. I went to a different school but they didn’t have ceramics as it was a small private one in one school. There is an art center that is 3 or 4 blocks away from my house. I go there now and have been for the last 7-8 years. Covid was so rough since I couldn’t go in and do pottery. I’m enjoying it so much more now though. Waiting to get a slab roller and hopefully a kiln soon.

What was your day job before this?

How did you start/find out about pottery?

I made one of these and all is well, thank you for the instructions! However, it moves all the time when I wedge, which is very difficult. Any ideas on how you stabilise yours? I’m thinking of adding a non stick mat under it, but thought I’d check with the community first 😊

Gosh, while watching you, it's all coming back to me what I learned over 20 years ago in college pottery class. I'd love to start throwing pottery again.

How did you get the part top to be just the perfect size to fit the bottom? Thats amazing!

I miss throwing pottery. I learned to do it many years ago was I back in college class but besides taking a night class at a University near my home when I graduated (which wasn't ideal because with all their classes they had barely any storage for our pieces) I couldn't find any studios where I could continue classes. I always said I would create my own studio, but its never happened. It's lovely that you are able to create your pieces in your own studio 😊

🤩

Thanks so much!

Very helpful thank you so much

yes.. food for thought.. tho not, at present, from one of my pots.. thanks for the video :)

This was so helpful, thank you so much!

Amazing video and very helpful. Just made the same using your instructions and I'm enjoying reading your book too.

Very helpful! Thank you

love seeing a little insight into another potters day :)

Yeeeaaaa I'm too fat to brace my elbow against my stomach so I guess I'll go lose 100lbs and then do pottery

hot

Do you ever worry about your hair/ etc ending up stuck in the clay? I saw someone's flowy shirt get wound up in a vase once

Amazing thank you

lovely vids as usual...i suspect the "anti seize" u use is copper grease which is probably a fraction of the price. from a car accessory shop

Food really wasn't restricted in the center. I took food and drink daily. I can't wait to go again. This was my first year and I hope to go again in 2026.

HEY. I really enjoyed this video. Just found ur channel. I am on a similar waypoint in my life. I wonna quit my job for pottery. Scaring and exciting at the same time.

I wasn’t shown this technique when I started - 8 months ago. It’s FAB and genuinely makes centering SO much easier! Thank you

Hi Kara, I have just bought a laser G7 gas kiln too (March’24), and experienced similar difficulties transporting and getting it in place in my garden! It is now there, in its purpose (half-built) shelter. I have fired mine up briefly, to make sure it works; it’s rather noisy! I might have to build some soundproofing modifications so as not to upset my neighbours. I’m really looking forward to part 2 of your video.

I wonder why you are not wearing a mask while grinding the glaze from base of the cups???

Thanks for this video. Where is your diamond grinding dish from, and which grit do you use (I can see they come in different versions, I.e. 60, 120, or 240 grit). If I had to buy only one, which one would you recommend? Maybe it is unrealistic to think that I can buy one to use both for such type of rescue work and also for making smooth and nice bottoms.

Next time, you might stuff a sponge into the throat of your jug to prevent glaze from going inside while you pour your glaze. The jug, however, is great and I love your glaze results.

thanks for the video, now i have to figure out temps, cause i dont have a digital readout, just three house type switches

Thank you for sharing!.This was very informative. What is a soak?.. okay.. I see the answer posted below.. thanks.

I'm in my first year of pottery and only recently learned about NCECA but definitely want to go next year!

Very nice! Great job with the 2 part throw!

That's so cool! Is there a reason you had to add the top afterwards instead of just making it that shape/size originally?

Your vidio was so inspiring especially to people just starting out I fell in love with pottery when I was about 8 in the hop fields of Kent making clay things from the clay mud while my parents were hoping picking Tom earn a living I have had stop start career finances and children slowing things up and like you a few bad things I still love it and it is very hard I built my business up and then COVID sweept it away so onwards to new ways of selling good luck with all you do thank you

Ive always wanted to go! You’ve inspired me to get my butt there! Lol i live in the US! So i feel like i have no excuse! 😂

Thank you for your time at NCECA. I introduced myself to say hello at the “Throwing Taller” demo. It was a genuine pleasure meeting you.

Hi thanks for taking us round nseca I would like to know who was selling the jolly joggers machine for on wheel head if you remember or have info on them I would be grateful for info thanks once again for your I can not go myself so was so pleased to see it

Thank you, new potter
