Retired teacher here-compliments on your great instructions. I have taken multiple throwing classes and no teacher has explained the actual process of creating a bowl as well as you. Thank you so much!!
OOH that means so much from a teacher, I now own three studios and what ive learned over the last years is that .. just cause someone can throw pots, it does not mean they know how to TEACH pots!
I don’t know how I found you but my gosh I am soo happy! You are sooo good at explaining everything. I’ve been a handbuilder and slip caster for over 20 years and just recently got a wheel but hurt my wrist and waiting for it to heal. I can’t wait to start throwing. You are an excellent teacher!!!!
I have watched many videos on how to throw a bowl but your instructions were super clear and precise, thank you 🙏 can’t wait to begin my ‘bowl-making’ journey 😁 love this bowl shape as well!
Check out @MudClaystudionj on instagram or our website www.mudclaystudio.com. I dont teach as much but I run one time workshops! Most popular is my cylinder bootcamp Take a road trip!
Thank you for this great tutorial! I’m a beginner and have been watching tons of videos, and so far I am learning the most practical and easily applicable instructions from you. I appreciate how you clearly explain everything you are doing and why. It is so helpful for me! Thank you!
Thanks so much. I say throwing pots is one of the hardest skills to learn. But it’s it’s. A bunch of small tasks that you can perfect and put together to make it part of your body. So breaking it up always helps my members! Any ideas for videos. Please let me know
Great video, I’m a ceramics student and I’m doing some practice outside of class. Since I don’t have a professor for the majority of the time I’m in the studio this helps so much!
Your tutorial is great! Just a tip: the flashing red and purple of your text before it becomes readable is visually painful. I had to close my eyes each time. Maybe its just my eyes, but maybe consider a more simple text transition style?
Thank you so much, your technique is the only one that has made sense and I've watched a crap ton of tutorials! No bullshit, just instructions. Thanks to you I've started throwing gorgeous even bowls!!
That was great from you ba Hassen ❤❤❤❤ Waw you are a great I like to hear the appreciation of the crafts of ceramics, because it's good and healthy, that's why I have to tell people that ceramic tools are the most important ones you should use for cooking .
Oh goodness! Thanks so much. I love to help beginners "Get it" Breaking down the steps are super important. Its not hard overall. Its doing small things that seem obvious but coordinating them all at ONCE!
so much good articulation on keen observations. and a few techniques that i don't believe i've seen before. can't wait to try. i've been throwing bowls for a few years, and I'm still still learning how. thanks.
ahh i have been watching pottery youtubes so much lately and just stumbled upon the studios in Madison and Boonton this morning and now i just accidentally stumbled upon the literal youtube channel for what looks like the classes i was just looking into because you happened to mention it in this video (i also happen to be in northern NJ)???? Literally feels like fate (or a good programming algorithm i suppose) after the last few months I've had lol. thank you for this amazingly descriptive video and i hope you're in the Madison studio i think you are and i get to take a class with you in the summer!!!!
You make it look so easy! I've taken 2 classes and bought my own wheel to practice on, (using Amaco air dry clay) its slow going but I'm getting the hang of it. I hope to be as good as you someday. 😊
@@MudgirlPottery , 😊👍🏻Thank you for the comment. I've actually taken a wheel break for a bit and have found I love handbuilding, specifically slab building, it's fun and I'm pretty good at it. Will be taking up the wheel again as I know I need to practice and do like the look of items made on the wheel.
@@kevinmencer3782 I actually joined a studio (the place where I took the classes) but never really went more than 3 times and it was very expensive. I've moved on to paper making, it's fun and I can do the whole process in my kitchen. 👍🏻😊
Thank you for the great explanation. Beautiful bowl. Question: when my bowl collapses should I start again with newly wedged clay or can I use the same clay again?
Thank you for the great tutorial! I've never really used bats, but I know they are made of an assortment of different materials. Once you're done, do you pull a wire through before removing from the wheel or allow it to dry and "pop off," or pull through after it dries a bit? Depending on what material your bat is, do you pull your wire through at the same point?
I take the bat off the wheel and then pull the wire through. I don't think it matters if you do it on the wheel or off. I let my pot dry a bit before I take it off the bat. Some remove their work and put it on a wooden tray or shelf as soon as they are done throwing that piece. It takes practice not to alter the shape as you take it off when it is that freshly thrown.

Beautiful bowl! I love your videos - great instructions and usefull tips 😊
Thanks so much!
You make it look so easy! I've taken 2 classes and bought my own wheel to practice on, (using Amaco air dry clay) its slow going but I'm getting the hang of it. I hope to be as good as you someday. 😊
Just choose one thing (a cylinder) and do them over and over again, cut them open each time and examine and adjust! You'll get it!

If you want to do it with real clay, there are websites and apps that must people who rent out their kilns to amateur artists.

Thank you for the great explanation. Beautiful bowl. Question: when my bowl collapses should I start again with newly wedged clay or can I use the same clay again?
Glad it helped Always re-wedge and let dry a bit before using again
