16. Throwing A 15lb. Bowl 

I must have watched this 30 times. I have learned so much from you! Always fascinated with your background in production. Thank you

Love your skill in keeping it balanced and symmetrical.

Great video Matthew.

That is spectacular!

Just a thought... I've found it advantages the majority of time heating the lip with a heat gun to lock in the roundness. It helps to prevent warping as the clay dries. I'll also cover the pot with plastic for a few days... also to prevent warping. Admittedly warping can still become an issue.

Watched this countless times Matthew. mainly to get `info and technique` on centering and `staying` centered throughout the whole process. As an amazing potter of course you make it all look so easy! hehe. Thank you for sharing your work with us.

So I stumbled on this gem ❤

Lost count how many times I've watched this Matthew. You sure do have a great control over the clay.

Wow. 15#! I love how you open with your hand! I have a clay challenge class and throwing large and small will be coming up; I will review your videos as always for inspiration and ideas!👍👏👏👏

Watching it get closer to the bucket gave me anxiety so bad

This is the first video I saw from Matthew and have been hooked ever since. Thank you Matthew for all your videos, I have learned so much,

That bucket...frightening lol

Great work bro 👍

Wow are you good!

Impressive!

So fun to watch... thx!

amazing!

I think mason staining each block and then trim it and see what you get. Perhaps shades of blue or black and greys?

Like a boss!

Nice bowl !

Way awesome

Why not show the final glazed bowl?

Nice job...

Genial!!!! Un maestro

Do you find standing to throw large pieces, helps with control?

Impressive piece! What is the price for the bowl?

Cool bowl, you could make very big salad in a bowl like that!

Just caught your video. That was an impressive demo. My question is about your outer hand position (right hand) when you begin pulling the wall up. Because of the camera angle your right hand is behind the bowl which makes it impossible to your hand position, and whether or not you are using just your hand, sponge or rib. Great video.

what type of roller are you using on the rim of the bowl at the end of the video clip?

Wowinga!

Have you made any of these for yourself?

Good video. Music is really distracting though.

Using your palm to open is news to me. Oh, to be 20 years younger. I see a number of times where the piece is out of true, oftentimes because you don't take the time to ease off slowly, and like a ninja you just attack again and re-center. Do you rely on your strength or timing to do that?

How do you trim it?

loose the music. other than that, good video
