collaring and choking for beginners 

OOOO I have always needed an explanation regarding twisting/wiggles inside when I'm trying to choke and/or collar and TADA here it is.

oh it's a pottery tutorial

this is not at all what Mistress thought it was but cool!

“Your moms fav” is absolutely diabolical 😭

this was not at all what I was looking for

So I've been doing ceramics at University for about 3 years now, and you just taught me something new with the 6-point choke. Thanks man

I mean, if I wasn't already subscribed, the video title would definitely make me re-think watching. Who am I kidding? I would still click 😂😂😂😂

I really enjoy your explanations. This is a very informative piece! Thank you.

Dude, you are so helpful, and know exactly what to say for me to understand. I immediately saw a difference in my work following your video.

Thank you. I can watch your videos all day! I enjoy the calmness and the slight innuendos 😂 and learn something at the same time!

Thanks for the tips Donte! I've been rockin' gourd vases lately. It's quickly become my favorite shape to throw. :)

Your videos are very helpful and fun to watch! Thankyou so much! 💖💖

ohhhh yes, needed this-- Thanks!!!

Absolutely THE BEST TEACHER!!!!

This is a ton of information. Thanks for getting into the details. I’m saving this video for review. I can’t wait to apply what you taught here.

Excellent demo. I learn so much from watching your videos. You're a wonderful teacher.

Love these videos

Her: like being choked. Donte: I'm a potter. Her: and? Donte: I know how to choke four different ways. Her: collar me now!

Awesome video. I had my first try at collaring/choking tonight in class with limited success. I’ll try your tips out when I practice tomorrow.

I have always like your videos , You take the time to show how things are done in such great detail, not just rambling on to show us that you can make a piece, I just started in 08' and you were /are my inspiration, thanks for the great stuff

Yes. The 6 point choke is great.

Great explanation!! I’d only head of the 6 point and choke. Never knew the whys or wherefores.

Really a helpful and informative video. Thank you.

You deserve more subscribers you have legit helped me so much!

Damn, Dante. You’ve taught me everything I know...

lol love the video and the title

You are so funny 😂. But you are helping me so much. Ty

Awesome 👌 🆒️ 👏 thank you!

Thank you!! That was an excellent presentation! Many of my personal questions answered!!😉 you dirty potter you!!!

Thank you, this was a fantastic tutorial!

Excellent!

Thank you for your teaching. I am 85 and still producing mostly mugs. 16 yrs I still need to return to basics. I am still considered an advanced student.

Very helpful and informative! Thanks a lot!

This is so helpful as I have lots of problems with twisting and now I know why! Plus, you said doodoo. 😉

I am making a lot of closed lidded jars for gifts. I am doing a lot of collaring in, and this video should save me some time and improve my work. I learned the six point and full choke incorrectly. I rewatched those two parts your demonstrated several times. I love all your explanations about what causes twisting and how to fix it. I learned so much. Thank you!

You are easily my favorite pottery person on YT. Your explanations & demos are so clear and easy to understand for a noob like me, you crack me up, and you've already helped me quite a bit in the first month of my first pottery class ever--yesterday I managed to throw a decent cylinder thanks to your video on that. Finally decided to leave a comment after noticing your shirt in this vid because it's become obvious to me that you're a Mega Man (and retro gaming in general) junkie like me...that figure on the shelf above your kiln was the first giveaway. (Was legit confused for a second, I thought YT's algorithms were playing some trick on me when I saw a thumbnail of a kiln + MM.) You ever think about dressing up your kiln as Heat Man?! 😂 I'm a Mega Man speedrunner (not a great one, mind you...but still better than I am at pottery presently lol). By the end of my current class session (3 more weeks to go), you know I intend to have an E-tank made! From one Blue Bomber fan to another, thank you so much for your content, it's truly appreciated.

Thanks Dante 😀

Thx just what I needed to know

Hey there omg it worked it worked it worked great, so much quicker, made biggest ever bell pot and no ripples in the clay, used 2 kilos of clay my biggest ever pull . Just angling my hand like you said and the six point collaring made all the difference.

I’m kinda disappointed it’s pottery, but also it somehow inspired me to get into pottery

Very useful I'm going to watch this again and again and again. I'm from Stoke and I've been struggling to make bottle kiln shaped vases , I think this will help a lot.

I’m into that;)

very helpful

It will be nice if you demonstrate how to throw the end piece. Thanks 🤗

Clay: Hey... hey... collar me... choke me...

@Earth Nation Ceramics add this video to the Beginner's playlist pls

Embrace the wiggle! Love it.

Can you use daz air dry clay for this.

Donte, can you talk about your wheel setup sometime. I noticed the rather large sponge on your left between your wheel and your water. Is your table a custom made piece?

One day, I will throw without a splash pan like you. Until then #muddypants

I love this kinda click baitish

What is your favorite clay to use on the wheel? B mix ok?

ارجو ان تعلمنا کیف ترفح هاذا الطين للفخار

Hi guys, where can I find the thin white sponge that he has on this video? Does anyone know? Thanks

some jokes just write themselves

I don't think this is very "advertiser friendly".

"We gained a whole inch by only choking one time!" nice.

😂😂😂 make things larger like your what!!!??? Hahaha jk
