- Making bowls and putting on textures with MKM rollers. Starting from a 3 lb pound ball of clay, I will show you the bat system I use, preparing the cylinder for the MKM texture roller, roll the texture on the cylinder, how to stretch the clay out into the form, how to decide where to put the foot, and trim the bowl. I am using the MKM Big Handroller BHR-10 for this video.
You are so helpful and the bowls where you used the MKM rollers look exceptional!
What a wonderful discovery, finding your CZcams channel! I must have watched upwards of 70 ceramic CZcams videos the past 3 months and you are getting the gold star for best presenter. What a nice guy and geez, you even have super video with the use of 3 cameras. You clearly explain what your doing and I am continuing to learn from you. And I really enjoy your very pleasant personality! Thank you so much!! I will be sure to share with my other clay artist friends! : )
Thank you for your kind words. I love helping people learn.
Your explanations during each step of HOW and WHY is fantastic! So grateful for your teaching!
You are so welcome!
really love how you describe things in terms of energy. Thats my language too. Enjoying this vid a lot . Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love this channel!
Thank you
I love the way you explain everything with such detail! It’s a pleasure to watch your videos and so very helpful and informative. Thanks and keep up the good work!!
This was a great video, I can't wait to try this technique!
A very good instructor. The more I watch you the better I like you. Thanks John.

Wow, thank you so much.
Great trimming tips. Have been a potter for many years never knew the rounded edge on a trimmed foot can reduce chipping. Never thought about one side of the foot hits the surface first. Great tip. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
John I love your videos! You make the explanation of what you are doing so fun! Thanks for sharing your talent.
You are very welcome
Thank you for sharing your process. Great great camera work!
Thank you.
Beautiful ❤
Perfect ‼️ you are excellent teacher. Set up your demonstration, the camera angle and details ...No compared to any other demonstration video. Beautifully done.❤ by the way, I use same tool and bat set up . Absolutely, No nascence instruction and demonstration.🎉
Thank you 🙏. 目から ウロコです。👏
Thank you for your kind words.
Thank you! You are a fantastic teacher! The multiple camera angles are so nice and easy to see. I will be watching all of your videos. Please post more!! I've been doing pottery about 10 months (my pandemic hobby...) I've fallen in love with it. If I lived on the west coast I'd be looking for your class!! :)
Thank you so much! I will have more soon (a few weeks from now). My real job, teaching ceramics at a college, is eating up all my time.
Hi John, I just discovered your videos, and I am learning so much! You're a fantastic instructor! I'm back to the wheel after a 40 year hiatus from college and loving it!
Inspiring!!!
Purple background is cool too 😎 💜
Thank you. Purple is one of the best colors.
איש כל כך נחמד ! הסברים ברמה גבוהה בנדיבות ודייקנות. תודה רבה . אמשיך לעקוב וללמוד ממך
This was a great video! I loved the different camera angles. Debumpify - great word! :)
Thanks so much! I will need to trademark "debumpify". I see it as a the next big thing. I am making up new words all the time.
I came across your video about rollers today. Loved your approach. Thank you very much for sharing. You're got an admirer and a follower here in Brazil from now on. Good evening.
Thank you.
Thank you for the technique
You are so welcome!
“You know, sometimes, you can see better with your finger! “ John H. 😉
I remember when I first starting saying that and thought "does that even make any sense at all?" I just can not think of a better way to say it and have the same impact and entertainment value.
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
Always great and useful information, John.
Glad it was helpful!
Great video thank you
Thank you for watching. It is one of my most popular videos.
Thanks for making videos! I like your style a lot, hope you keep posting
Glad you like them! I have been having such a good time planning and filming them. Real life sometimes keeps me from filming them.
Another idea and I have many many many! How do you make a baking container?
excellent video. This is very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
The detail in you videos is so helpful-I tried making this bowl yesterday and it worked beautifully! Could you please specify which MKM rollers are your favorites for not showing seams and giving pattern continuity? Thanks.
Wow-this content is EXCELLENT. Can’t wait to see more from you. Have you considered Patreon for teaching lessons?
Eventually/maybe? - I do not understand much about what a Pateron really is. It is one of the things I need to research and see if it fits with what I am doing.
Thank you
You are welcome.
Debumpify... your techniques are so cool! I love your surform!!!
I have every surform they make. I love them as well.
I 'm with Carol and Mary Jean below - you are a terrific teacher - the best I've found at explaining what, how and why you are doing and making it fun! I'm pretty sure you are using MKM roller BHR-010, Curlicue, which also comes in a smaller form HR-009, which I ordered yesterday after watching you make patterned cups. Yes - debumpify! I have 2 questions: !) to roll horizontally, or even vertically have you tried using a piece of a pool noodle on the inside instead of fingers? 2) would it help to stiffen/dry up the clay with a hair dryer for a minute or two before rolling?
I have tried many different ways. I did try putting in a plastic pipe but did not like the way stamped. If you could see what I was doing with my hand on the inside - I am holding my palm and hand kind of flat so the roller will print on a wider area of the cylinder. The pipe keeps the cylinder too round and the stamp only printer on a small part of the cylinder. I do like the pool noodle idea - I will have to try that one out.
@@JohnHasegawaCeramics John - Your approach has revitalized me on the wheel - Thank you! I tried the pool noodle yesterday inside a slim cylinder and I think it helped by reducing vertical stretching of each roll - the rim was noticeably less bumpy. Jury is still out on whether the hair dryer helped. I used a Xiem silicone roller which I think benefits from a cornstarch shower (which I had skipped in my eagerness) to try a horizontal roll with the noodle inside. It did work but the pattern wasn't properly incised. More experiments coming.
Is your cylinder about 1/2” thick before you start rolling?
That is about right. They need to be a little thicker than normal because I stretch them out into the bowl shape.
Hi John, How thick is the wall before you start using the timber roller.
Thanks
I thow it thicker than I normally would because when using the roller it thins the wall of the bowl and then pushing the form out also thins it out as well.
Great video, all the way through. I especially appreciated the parts about eliminating the beginner's bump and about trimming. Do you ever offer workshops?
Glad you enjoyed it! I sometimes do workshops, but COVID has stopped all of those things. I will hopefully have some workshops next summer.
Do you ever teach outside workshops for the public?
Sometimes but COVID had stopped me from doing any of those things. I will announce here when I have my next workshop.
Awesome video!!! I have a question, after I apply texture, I've run into a few issues.
When stretching pot, my texture develops cracks. Also, even though I soak my rollers, they often stick. Any tips to avoid these issues?
Good question! It sounds like your clay is a little "short", which means that it will will crack when it stretches. I would try a more plastic clay (one that will stretch more without cracking). I am using wooden rollers because they stick less to the clay. Keep them wet or maybe wet your pot a little before rolling. That might help.
@@JohnHasegawaCeramics Thanks for your reply! I'll check out a different clay body =D
How can I contact you so I can tell you everything that people are going through in all our classes in Pottery.
I want it to hold my cereal and milk in the bowl.
thank you! They are so much fun to make.
Why do you go from the top down? What would happen if you went bottom up? I only ask because I learned you always go bottom up
What kind of clay are you using? It looks like porcelain.
It is called Kristy Lombard. It is made by my local clay company. It is a lot like cone 6 b mix.
@@JohnHasegawaCeramics It looks very fine, low grog?
@@gbennett58 yes it has some very fine grog so it has just a bit more tooth than regular b-mix
@@JohnHasegawaCeramics Thanks. I'll look for a similar clay from Continental Clay Co.
