7 easy steps to throwing a cylinder - Nov 12 -2018 with Simon Leach 

I rewatched this video and I have found this once again, a helpful and easy refresher for my current project!

I love seeing the way you position your fingers together. I'm in a class with some beginner throwers and I think some dont recognize how much easier it is to build walls when you start from a curved dome position, rather than keeping the shape entirely at a right angle from the beginning. Great steps!

This was a great video! I love how you went back over each step as you moved forward.

"moment of truth" and he laughs! I love how humble you are!

Kind soul. You give out knowledge.

thank you! I’ve had 9 classes but this video taught me more 😆

I am a beginner and this video is invaluable! Thank you!

Brilliant! Step by step demonstration of cylinder throwing is exactly what I needed to see!

You are absolutely correct, basics are the foundation to any skill. No shortcuts, just building skill, takes time AND learning from someone who controls those basics. So, thank you for taking the time for me.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge!!!!!!!

Thank you

Kiln and wheel have just been installed! You have been an inspiration!!

Very helpful to have it all broken down into 7steps. Thank you Simon!

This will be extremely helpful. I have such a hard time doing. Have to practice more. Thank you for filming these steps!!

Wonderful teacher about a fantastic dirt to art and function medium. Thank you and keep creating

Never tire of the basics....Thanks for this Deja vu video......still practicing

Thank you very much for this video. It was very insightful and helpful to me. I believe I saw the mistakes that I was doing that you proved incorrect. Again thank you. 😊

Very helpful. Thankyou. Everything clicked now.

Thanks for the video. Just beginning on the wheel. I can definitely see how "practice, practice, practice" on a cylinder is exactly what is needed

Hola Simon! Hace tiempo no te veia! Siempre tan cálido y didactico. Un gran abrazo para ti. Te saludo desde Argentina.

Thx will give it a try! Always struggled with doing the cylinder.

Thank you Simon, it a big help!!

Massive thank you! It has been super helpful!

Great instructional video as always. Always good to watch.

Super helpful. Thanks so much!

Thank you very much Simon. I have one question, how wide did you spread the cylinder? So it’s 5 inches tall how wide? And thank you for such a clear and concise video I shall practice.

Hi Simon, just wanted to say you're awsome!

Thanks for the review. Always welcome.

Thank you Simon.

You are an amazing instructor

Thank you Mr. Leach!!

Very helpful thank you Simon ❤️

Thank you for the very detailed breakdown

Wow - the 2018 edition!

Thank you !!

Hello from Japan. Been "doing" pottery for a number of years, and I have become determined to be able to throw a pot WITHOUT luck. My goal is to eliminate the "happy accidents," if I can. Thank you very much, Leach-sensei, for your good encouragement! (By the way, I wonder if you ever received that caricature of grandad with Hamada-sama (sent, from Mashiko, to your email under my real name... ; )

Thanks Simon! That was a big help. :-)

Great video, thank you so much ♥

So great, thank you

Bravo!!!!!

A very useful review of the process. You say 12oz should make a 5" tall cylinder, but what is the diameter?

Fantastic Simon off to. Do some practice

I’m new to throwing still learning but question that floor has plenty of thickness to trim a foot?

What is the base diameter?

Lol, almost a full year later and I suppose that only the two most stubborn people in the world, who refuse to throw a cylinder properly, has made their voices known with a thumbs down. Hahaha (Who would thumbs down this video???)
