Thank you so much I learnt a lot from your detailed explanations not just about this type of pot but details applicable to any pot. Love your tutorial. Thanks again Lynne New Zealand
Thank you, Ki. You gave a very clear explanation of this technique and I love the side by side videos. I will try pushing the closed neck bit down into the lid to get that button on the interior of the lid. Great tip!
I am really enjoying this elegent technique, I practiced this form today with one kg followed by the teardrop bottle, used the thumbnail trick as well as the the recentering in the bottle kneck. Thanks Teacher I feel refreshed and inspired.❤
This video and the first part are some of the most helpful RU-vid tutorials I have seen. You are extremely detailed in your explanations about what to do, and this is something that separates you out from the rest of the ceramics RU-vidrs out there. Hope to see you come back, I know for sure you would build a following as your teaching style will definitely appeal to more people.
I like the trimming split screen, I just don't use or advocate sharp metal ribs I use wooden ribs with larger holes 1 or inch and 1/8 diameter easier to angle curves and archs ...plus younger and older students it's a safety concern
I can surely relate. Many years ago I was cleaning up a pot using a metal rib. I knew better but still prefer them. I cut my hand after not having a better grip on it. I had to have 4 stitches & told to not throw for a few weeks. Needless to say, a week later I was wearing a latex glove & back on the wheel. LOL
I especially like how the flow of creating the vase is broken down with well described technical steps. The split screen editing complements the easy conversation style narrative. Beginning, intermediate, and advanced potters will benefit observing this generous video! Looks like a shimpo wheel? ELY Molloy Studio
Thank you for your very descriptive video., `well both of them actually`, I watched part 1 first of course. It's a very inspirational video for sure. Thank you for sharing with us. From London UK. Subscribed.
You are a fine potter, thank you for all your videos, I enjoyed watching them all. Tap centering looks so easy! haha I still can't do it no matter how often I try. Please do more videos if you find the time, you are a good narrator. Thanks again :) Cliff from London.
not only you are a great potter, your are so good with words. you just say exactly what has to be done. thanks a lot. will definitely try this soon. so glad i found this
Thank you for the excellent videos. I would love to see your glazing process of these pieces. I've been making these for a bit, but I'm nervous about glaze dripping down and sealing the lid, however, when I leave a gap to allow for glaze movement I don't like the unglazed thin white (porcelain) line on the outer edge of the pot between the lid and base. Is it remedied by your suggestion of angling the edge in trimming?
I just finished my piece following your video and the result is awesome. I am a beginner but your simple and detailed instructions allowed me to make it without problems! Un grand merci!!!!
Thank you such a wonderful video. I did this type of jar in a class last week but the instructor only verbally told us how to trim and didn't have a demo piece to trim after we made our jars. I was confused and this has helped SOOOO much. Now I can trim my jar (which turned out so amazing so far) and not screw it up.
Less useful than your other videos. you're not explaining anything, just tapping. it's probably second nature to you so you don't know why it works, just that it works. It's about the rhythm of the taps, only one tap per rotation, the timing has to be when the furthest out point is approaching the tapping hand, and as you do mention, the force has to depend on how far off the bowl is. Look at the top down view for confirmation. Your 0.3 sec or so reaction time will make it harder to time correctly if you look at the tapping hand, look at a point opposite from it so when your brain notices a point furthest out on that side it has already moved to where the hand is and you can tap.
