How To Throw A Small Vase 

Sorry for being so cruel, lol! I’m thankful for the thousands of pots I’ve made to make it easier to make the clay do what I want it to do.

Thanks. Always trying to add value

Thank you. This is a very comfortable size for me especially after throwing production for couple decades

You’re welcome!

You’re very welcome! Congrats on the success.

Thank you. I’m glad to know they’ve helped!

Me too but its getting easier

That’s alright. Keep practicing

I’ve never done that but would be interesting. The hard part is keeping track of a couple pieces at that many stages and also keeping up with the videos over that long period of time. I’ll try to figure it out though.

Would be easier if I made less pots. lol

@@MatthewKellyPottery Maybe you could mark the vessels S E for scientific experiment with the original weight, and size written on the bottom, and again just before glaze using an underglaze crayon. Those underglaze crayons are FUN! I know different clays have different shrinkage rates, that's why it's inadvisable to slip trail porcelain on a b mix vessel. I tried slip trailing a dark brown slip onto a b mix jar once. It sailed through the bisque fire and fell apart in the glaze fire. Some clays do not marry well. I did try again using a large rose stencil to make an inlay of red clay into a b mix bowl that also fell apart. An attempt to use glaze to glue the pieces back together was not a good idea.

@@MatthewKellyPottery I may, or may not have given three or four pottery teachers nightmares.

Do you wire off right away? Also, when do you take the piece off the bat? Thanks!
