Really good tutorial.
Thanks so much!
Have a heat gun or a hair dryer handy so you don’t have to wait for your clay to firm up.
This is so pretty✨️
Thank you!
I'm impressed that with no adjustments or fiddling with the holes he created a playable scale.
I may be 5 years too late..but your literally so awesome thank you so much for this tutorial
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching. -Andy
Thanks!!
Fantastic work.
Thank you Sarah! Look for some new videos this summer :)
I can’t wait to try this out next!
Great video! What a fun way to shape a round jar :)
I love your videos! They are incredibly helpful and simple yet detailed. I’ve been able to throw consistently large and tall cylinders thanks to your techniques :) I’ve improved so much! I even made my very first moon jar!
I’m so happy my videos are helping you Ingrid! Thanks for the kind words and be on the lookout for more videos this summer. 👍 -Andy
Yay! I’m so excited for more of your videos :)
Very nice! I noticed that you didn’t oil your wooden bowl before you put the clay in there.. is it because it was a wooden bowl? If I use a different type of material, would I need to oil it first? Thank you…. Is oil better or cornstarch? Or plastic wrap? Plastic wrap leaves marks I noticed… 🤷♀️please advise…
Thanks for watching! If it is a porous material such as wood, it is not necessary to use a release agent. I hope it works out for you! -Andy
@@andyruble633 okay thank you 🌸
Andy your lovely warmth of personality and eagerness to explain the finer details of hand placement and the importance of taking advantage of centrifugal force by stacking your coils inwards make this one of the best tutorials for the BIG scale clay vessels on CZcams. Im gonna take full advantage of this and try to make some wine storage vessels to sell to local wineries. I really want to make it as a solo potter, and big stuff is the dream since I saw Peter Voulkos's protege Peter Callas at my ceramics class in college. Ive never connected to an artform so deeply how I feel when I make large scale vessels such as these. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this lovely comment Galan! I truly hope it helps you out to make your best work yet. I remember seeing Peter Volkos working in Kansas City way back in the day and Peter Callas was his assistant back then. Look for more videos this Summer! Andy
I am a complete novice and this was extraordinarily helpful. Thank-you.
Thanks so much for checking it out! I’m glad it is helping. I’m going on sabbatical next quarter and will be making additional videos. 👍
If you were looking to make a deeper bowl (think Ramen/soup), would you slump over the outside or inside? (I am a woodturner, so making the proper mold is easy.)
Thanks for watching! I prefer to use the hump mold technique with the clay over the mold not inside. Good luck! Andy
Hi Andy! Please tell how long do you dry ocarina before making holes in it: several hours, 2 days, one week? Do you cover it with plastic bags to make it dry slowly or it is ok to dry it on open air? Thanks.
Hello, and thanks for watching! I like to make the holes and mount the blow tube when the clay is much stiffer in the leather hard stage. How long it needs to dry completely depends on the humidity and the temperature. You can speed up the drying by using a heat gun or hairdryer, or keep it wet by wrapping it up with plastic. I hope this helps! Andy
They told me that the clay should dry as slowly as possible. I thought that if it dries on open air, it will be damaged in the kiln. Is it true?
Really fast drying could cause cracking, but it is possible to speed dry clay and it has no effect on how it fires in the kiln.
Hi! I’m a ceramics major trying to make a big usable vessel. Do the seams between the coils smooth out on the inside/is there a way to make it smooth? I’m asking because I’m afraid of texture breaking the glaze and keeping it from being completely water tight.
I also just want to be able to look inside and have a nice even wall without and rings
Hi Simon! Thanks for checking out the video. Coil throwing is completely water tight when stacked, compressed and pulled well. The throwing lines on the inside can easily be smoothed out using a rib after you have completed that section of coils. Sometimes I use a rib on both sides of the wall to completely eliminate any process marks depending on what I’m making. Go for it and good luck! -Andy
You seem to have stopped posting videos a few years ago, but from the bottom of my heart I hope you are doing well. You explain everything so well. I'm coming back to pottery after a long lapse and I've been struggling to troubleshoot my issues since I'm not taking formal instruction this time around. Your videos are perfect, and I love the way you explain your hand positions! I'll definitely be incorporating (and anthropomorphizing) your "shadow bird".
Thanks so much for watching! I truly hope these techniques help you progress. I’m going on sabbatical this Spring and will begin posting new videos once again! -Andy
Thank you. Very helpful.
hi ! thank you for the video, just curious if you happen to know the exact spec to plug into a skutt electirc kiln? like if im firing at cone 012, what preheat to input if any?
Hello! I’m not sure exactly what you mean by exact specs? To fire these small pencils you probably wouldn’t need much more than a one hour preheat. -Andy
I dont know how to get plaster to dry properly, I tried getting calcium sulphate but it doesnt set hard at all!!!!
What a bummer! I really only recommend #1 pottery plaster which is the industry standard for slip casting and pottery molds. If you have tried this type of plaster and it didn't work, your mixing ratios must be adjusted or the plaster itself is old and no longer usable. Good luck! -Andy
@@andyruble633 that glazed pot is a beauty, i live the little cross stamp on the side, it actually looks like its metal. ill clean that one and fill it up with milk if i ever got it!!!!
Beautiful work! How did you get this piece from the wheel to the kiln and what kind of kiln do you have that would fit this piece?
Believe it or not, I lifted this piece off while in the stiff leather hard stage. I then once fired the piece in our soda kiln which is large enough to accommodate pieces of this size. Thanks for watching!
Andy, I just want to say that this video was so mesmerizing! I've only started ceramics in January this year, so I don't know all the possibilities yet. I am gobsmacked at the height you've built on this! I am surprised that despite having almost no attention span nowadays, I couldn't tear myself away from the screen! This was amazing!!! So inspirational! I was hoping that you or someone else can answer a question I have. I understand that it is important to maintain thickness in the walls to support the building and throwing, but once you are done coil throwing, how much can you trim the form? Or would trimming it any be detrimental to the firing process? Thank you!
Thanks so much for watching! I hope these techniques help you make your largest form yet. 🎉 To answer your question, I usually throw the form to its final thickness but you could trim it quite a bit and it shouldn’t effect the way it fires. 1/2 inch to 3/8” would be the thinnest I would go for a large form. Andy
Fabulous tutorial ... thank you. Curious to know what that market is for such large pieces? And are these mostly decorative or is there a functional use for the pots?
Thanks for watching and I hope it helps you! This pot is largely decorative and often graces people entry ways. The price for these pieces depend on size, form and surface decoration. $800- $2000
Nice guide. I'm going to be teaching a whistle class soon. I'm also trying to make a 3 chambered flute/ocarina. That's turning out to be a lot to have bitten off! I'm trying to make it somewhat unique in that I want one chamber to be the bass with two holes controlled by the thumbs to play 1st, 3rd and 5ths. the other two chambers to share (7) finger holes, so that they play relative 3rds and I"m hoping it gets a decent organ-like tone to it. I'm using math to try to get relative tones. I first tried a cylindrical design, but I couldn't get a sound out of it the second day after it dried to leather hard. I'm trying a more square/cubic approach on my second attempt. It's turning out to be too big, but I'm saving the whistle parts for last and I'm hoping I can get all 3 chambers whistling as desired, then I can dial it down on the 3rd one to get a good fit. I'm imagining I might have to make some "channels", esp for the thumb bass notes. such that where I place my thumb leads to a different hole position leading to the chamber to get the desired tonality. Long live imagination and exploration!
Awesome! Sounds ambitious. I have made multiple chamber whistles in the past and they really sound great. Look up a guy named Brian Ransom. He has made the most amazing ocarina clusters I have ever seen! Good luck, -Andy
Awesome video. Thank you so much!
I'm glad you liked it and I hope it helps with some of your projects. :)
I followed your sprig method with great success thank you. BUT I'm struggling with applying them without them 'lifting'. Have you done a video on applying them please? Many thanks
Sorry for the slow response! I haven't made a video on this, but it is best practice to make sure both the object and the sprig are basically the same leather hard consistency. Apply slip to both sides and firmly work the edges down with your fingers or the tool of your choice. Drying the piece slowly will also help a lot! I hope this helps... -Andy
Thank you for keeping it simple
This is the only video that really helped me make the ocarina work. Thanks a lot.
I'm so happy it helped you! Thanks for watching.. -Andy
etude for okarina czcams.com/video/NfU9cV549tg/video.html
Esse formato de ocarina é bem diferente da ocarina peruana que tenho mm
It is different but very effective! Thanks for watching... -Andy
Very cool !thanks for sharing !
The right way to pronounce is: si (ci-nnamon ) gilla ta ( ta-blet) 🤗
Hallo, good morning, What kind of plaster?
#1 pottery plaster is best. 👍
Very good 👍
hi, thanks for the video. loved it. can you pl tell from where you got the wooden bowl? does it not need an agent like corn starch to prevent sticking? i prefer to use these simple tools rather than expensive forms sold in market.
Hi Radha! I found this bowl at a second hand store. I sanded it until the oil type finish came off allowing the bowl to be porous once again. You can always put some thin canvas over the form to act as a release. An old tee shirt works perfectly. -Andy
@@andyruble633 thanks. will definitely try this
Great video!
Thanks Hilary!!
Incredible...from Brazil

How do you make such even coils?
Hi Jacob! For this project I used an extruder which in this case made about 3/4” thick coils.
thanks Andy
Exelente MAESTRO! Gracias!!!!!
But what is the pasta used?
How do you move so much clay?
Coil by coil! Thanks for watching.
@@andyruble633 Hi andy! I like to watch people who know their job, and you are a maestro. I think we didn't understand each other. How do you move so much clay from the wheel to the drying place, or kiln?
@@user-cw2qc5qe6z I remove them from the wheel while they are is a still leather hard consistency. Sometimes two people locking arms is needed for the really large ones. I hope this helps! -Andy
Very cool
Beautiful! Thank you.
Awsome! What a great way to show how you do it.
I hope it helps, and thanks for checking it out!
Great
당신은 점토가공을 매우 잘합니다
How do you wire something that big? on the bottom?
Hi Carlos! In this case I usually just let it dry on the wheel head or throw them on a bat for easy removal. There is no need obviously to trim this size work as it is shaped as you throw. Andy
@@andyruble633 Thanks! I'll try this method some day soon :)
nice work in your website!!
Thanks so much for looking! 🙏
