Always god to go back to basics, there are so many little things that need to happen and when you do them all together it works a treat and leads to less oops moments later on, I've been doing a class once a week, since forever and every now and then things don't go to plan, last Thursday was my day to hit every bump in the road to project cylinder. So for the last couple of days I've watched videos like this to remind myself of all the parts that are important in their own way but pulling together, no pun intended, when they come together it works in your favour and the start follows through to the end a d a new cylinder shape is born. So your video, beautifully broken down and put back together on the journey upwards was a must watch for me, your show and tell format worked for me. Cant wait to get back to class to try again. Thankyou 🎉😊

wonderfully clear explanation ~ thank you for this tutorail!

Thank you for this really nice tutorial!

Keep the good work I don't know you but you seem like a nice teacher :3

As a beginner, I appreciate this video, because I’m so new I don’t know what I don’t know to ask about. I kept hearing the word “bisque” so came to Google to find it more, which led me to you, so thank you for looking out for us newbies!

I wonder what your mug pieces looked like after being fired?

Great video, thank you

Grüße anndeine Oma😊

Excellent techniques here. Thank you! You've solved my slab problems [interiors too thick, sides too thin + how to get rectangular].

Information 😊

Thanks for the invitation

I tried and it worked great! Thank you, thank you! I bought some from a shop in Winnipeg. (I am in Canada). These were very thin, like saran wrap & easily folded over itself in the water. I noticed yours are thicker. However the thin works well for concave mugs... diner mugs. Fired at 05 and it worked great with new ceramic (porcelain dishwasher safe mugs) from Amazon. A couple other mugs bought at value village did weird things.. one mugs distorted.. the other, the decal had bubbled.. perhaps a higher temp was needed. I needed to buy MICR ink, pricey, but should last me a long while.

I love the realness of this tutorial… you are no afraid to let us know that you're struggling a little bit and yet still sharing your wonderful techniques. Also really appreciate that you let us know how long you've been throwing. As a new potter, it can be very intimidating to watch people just make perfect pots seemingly with ease and forget that they've been throwing for 10 15 20 years! You are a great teacher, and I appreciate your sharing your knowledge and beautiful craftmanship with us!

Very nice demo! Thanks.

Love it thanks for showing us your process.

Thank you! this was very helpful and to the point!

Mam.. you have a dead body

Hello, your tutorials are great! Have you ever considered offering pottery lessons?

Thanks Kara, we missed you! Your videos are always so helpful and encouraging for us newbies🥰

I'm quite new at this and am wondering if your fingers on the inside are higher than the hand on the outside. Thank you for sharing your skills.

Thanks so much, this was concise and to the point. And I really like the spray bottle tip because I use way too much water and that adjustment will really help me!

Amazing tutorial... so clear and precise, much appreciated! :)

Thx

Thanks so much!I wonder if I could use red iron oxide on greenware and apply over underglazes?

It’s good that the coloured glazes were stable, non-runny and the dots in full strength fared ok. I use watered down underglazes for colouring greenware or bisqued items for a non hazy look. I quite like the 2nd pot. These are my kind of colours!

Thank you 😊

Cool caliper trick! Thank you!

thank you!!!!

beautiful

can you use amoco potters choice glazes such as emerald falls?

Impatient not unpatient

Lady, so you have nails and still are able to throw a pot on the wheel. Kudos to you!

What does the finished product look like?

It worked!!!! Did it over my bed and it popped off! Used my meditation bowl mallet!!❤❤❤❤ super Super thanks!

Lots of great tips! If there is text on the decal, should I reverse the image before printing?

Super helpful! Especially the trick at the end 😉 glad I stuck around for that part. Thank you!

Thank you. I’m a complete beginner. Never sat at a wheel yet. And this really helped my understanding 😊

Thank you so much for this.

With all due respect… your explanation is riddled with big mistakes. Cones measure HEAT-WORK (heat over time). They do not measure or reflect temperature. They are absolutely needed even in modern kilns. Where as the controller panel will tell you top temperature, only a cone can reflect heat work. Ceramics need to be held at particular temperatures for a long enough period of time to allow the necessary chemical changes to occur. I hope you will do more research, learn this topic well, AND THEN do a new and accurate explanation.

I will be making lidded pots for grandkids for Christmas. This is great timing I found this video.

Hello from France!! thank you so much for this helpful video! I'm beginning throwing and I will be aware of the speed of my wheel and my hands as well 😌

New to pottery, is there a purpose to the very shot choppy brush strokes?

Do you wire it off or leave it on?

The problem with cones is that they do NOT measure temperature, they measure heat work. If you don't use cones you can get nice results just going by the temperature, on a pre-programmed firing schedule. However if you change your firing schedule the results can be noticeably different. For instance, you have to go to a higher temperature if you fire on a "fast" cycle rather than a "slow" cycle to get a given cone number to "go down" Your cones in an electric kiln confirm that the firing went as planned. You don't really understand what is going on in a kiln if you don't understand heat-work. Every potter ought to know.

The community studio I go to doesn't use cones, but they still talk about them. I think even with electric there could be good reason to use them. It's become quite clear to me that different parts of any kiln can have noticeably different temperatures in them. Peeping through to see the melt, might be more fool proof. I love the idea of rearranging the chart into a line.

Are the good for microwaves and putting in the dishwasher?

Great video. Love to see how you turned the foot and glazed the bowl. Thank you!

sanding bisque fired items is at its best when you want 'smooth', particularly when the clay has grog, or particles that drag and score unfired clay during sanding. Sanding before has many advantages. Sanding after has surface mediation benefits you can't get before firing. And before firing, consider misting and then wiping which will allow shallow voids to be filled or misting then shaping, sanding just with fingers.

nice clear picture, a good angle for seeing what you're talking about, reasonably clear instructions, and not a lot of chit-chat. Well done!

Can any color toner laser printer can be use?
