Pottery: Successfully throwing and trimming a mug

- čas přidán 26. 02. 2020
- For those of you who have been following me on my pottery journey, you’ve already seen my failed attempts at throwing a mug. Well, I am pleased to say that I finally succeeded. I was able to not only pull a straight and centered cylinder but was able to shape it into a mug! This was my first time making a usable pottery item and also trying my hand at trimming. I know this is all very amateur stuff for most of you pottery experts but it’s a huge breakthrough for me as a beginner! Keeping my fingers crossed that this survives the kiln (maybe I’ll do another video of firing and glazing if it does!)
Wish me luck! And continue to watch if you want to see me try to accomplish my next pottery goal! - Jak na to + styl
Really satisfying to watch
Great job!
You need to center the mug before trimming it.
Thank you for watching! And yes, I need to learn a lot about trimming, my entire focus has been on throwing so far I attempted trimming as a fun thing to do. Any ideas on how to figure out centering for trimming?
Beautiful work, but it’s also the sweater for me 😭🤍
Hahahaha thank you! And I’m SO glad someone noticed the sweatshirt 😂
Oh! So nice!!😁
Thank you!
You make it look easy.
That’s so kind of you to say! Hopefully I’ll keep getting better and the videos will get more satisfying! :)
Thank you so much for watching!
I'll be glad when I can get this far!! Hahaha My stuff keeps flying of my wheel! Collapsing!
I’m a beginner myself and it seems so daunting at first but honestly practice is all it takes 😊
Good luck!
@@caligirlpottery822 thank you. I will. Hopefully soon I'll make a usable mug. Lol

Okay, so I'm not the only one whose work always wobbles. How do you keep the wobble from getting bigger and tearing the piece apart? That always happens to mine.
After many a wobbled and collapsed attempts I realized that over correcting and trying to fix it didn’t work for me. So now I give myself about 3-4 tries depending on how wet the clay already is and then I just completely start over. But I’m also still learning so I’m hoping I will pick up more skill and maybe the corrections can happen while trimming? Trimming is my next milestone. Thanks for watching!
Learn to centre and if you knock the piece off centre when you're opening or pulling learn the techniques to recover. You'll find examples on YT on how to correct mistakes whilst throwing if you search.
Better compressing the bottem with a stick or bankcard or something.Pottery is cool! Grt Tom
Thanks for watching!

How long do u keep it in the cubord for
Unfortunately I haven’t had any practice with trimming and I don’t have a kiln yet so all my pieces are just practice. But someday I hope to have a tiny studio to myself at home, after I get good 😊
I hope you eventually learned how to throw a cylinder?
