    Thanks you so much for making all of these beginner tutorials! I've watched so many, but they're all missing details I need. I used to throw a lot, but the last time was 15yrs ago. My husband bought me a portable wheel (We spend our lives traveling) so I'd have something to do during quarantine (aside from driving him and the teens nuts). 😂 While I remember a lot from before, including form, I've forgotten a lot of the minor stuff that was natural and easy for me originally and are crucial for each step of throwing. These have been fantastic, and I'm back to being able to start throwing again. Now, I just need to figure out how to get these things fired while quarantined. 🤔

I am having trouble throwing a slightly larger (4#) bellied bowl without the sides collapsing from their own weight. How do I pull and shape a bowl with a rounded out shape like a good batter bowl that is larger?

    Hi, can I ask, how do you manage to use so little water? My hands get a little sticky and I worry I loose control. Please advise. Thanks

    • @StevenKin
      @StevenKin Před 6 lety +2

      Do you sponge water onto your pieces? One thing that I've taken to doing is just dipping my hand into water, and seldom using my sponge until I need to mop out the inside of a piece or clean up the surface. A lot of Japanese potters take the slip that builds up on their hands, adding a little bit of water, and using that slip in lieu of squeezing more water on.
      Hope this helps!

  • @missykitty100able
    @missykitty100able Před 3 lety +1

    Hi I just have a question. Before you cut it in half on the first pot, the very bottom/ base wasn't round like the rest of the pot. It kind of resembles a question mark. This is a problem I always have and I don't know how to make the base round like the rest. it's confusing because your supposed to make the base but then you can't really form any pudginess out from the base because it always has to remain straight and you obviously can't dig your hands into the base because then you'd destroy the floor of the pot. I end up trimming it off but I then the base circle gets smaller and smaller and the very bottom doesn't pudge out. I hope this makes sence sorry if it's confusing... I just really want a pudgy pot but the fact that you can only make it pudgy starting only above the base makes it impossible.

    • @EarthNationCeramics
      @EarthNationCeramics  Před 3 lety

      The point of forming what you would consider the question mark is to create a self-supporting curve. if you push it out too far it will fall.
      Tldr you're pushing the bass out too far period try moving your fingers up the vessel faster instead of pushing the base out so far

    @bryanduarte9373 Před 2 lety

    Love your video very informative in covering the basics but, there in important step your missing. Why are not concondensing the rim of the bowl ? That add extra clay on top and acts like an anchor in keeping your cylinder together as you are pulling up your walls and the it helps keeps your bowl together as you stretching and forming it. Also by having a slightly thicker rim helps visually and functionality of the bowl. Just curious overall that's all and also your very right about the about using the metal rib in forming a bowl and it's works as great trimming tool to refine your bowl inside an outside .

I had been like trying to pull my walls like in the bowl curvature and it just made some thick ass like 4 pound bowls that not even trimming could save (and you better belive I smashed their sad bisque forms) . And I kept having the metal rib like within reach when im on the wheel and I would look at it and be like "but how the fuck do I do the thing?" and it would go untouched. The gates to bowl haven have been unlocked. Thanks!
