We've had a number of requests to produce a video with Ann throwing in the studio - NO funny stuff, NO music...just Ann doing her thing. In this video, Ann demonstrates how to throw a 10.5" porcelain piece - much taller than a mug or bowl. Ann shows you how to deal with the tricky aspects of throwing taller such as Pesky Bulges and Stiff Clay. OK, that sounded like a joke but its not - this is a SERIOUS video for SERIOUS potters so no laughing.
If you would enjoy a deeper learning of Ann's painting, decorating, and glazing process then check out Ann's Video Workshop Series. These workshops are very detailed (typically 1.5 - 2 hours in length) where Ann provides step by step instruction and are designed to help potters take their work to new levels of craftsmanship and artistry. vimeo.com/showcase/6725318

Clay Companies use a plasticizing ingredient and that if you take your bag of clay and drop it on the floor about six times from about shoulder height it softens the clay. I’ve tried it and it definitely works well to soften a whole bag of clay

@annruel1982 3 года назад

Great tip Lynn! Thanks so much. I will give that a try!

@ginaiannucci Год назад

I do this and I also stick my bag of clay in water in a bucket of water overnight with the bag closed and that works l too.

Ann, I have to say, your videos have helped this rookie SSOO much!! Love how you explain and demo. THANK YOU!

@tricialee5 3 года назад

Now THAT was a great demo!! All business, attention to detail and straight to the point. We don't need music and jocularity while trying to learn a technique. Thank you, Ann, for your kindness and for sharing your knowledge.

Thank you for this video…as a beginner potter I am struggling with taller forms and this clear explanation is invaluable and inspiring!

@lazylaurablue Месяц назад

This is great thank you. I have recently started to try to throw larger pots, but I always come unstack when I start to pull them up. Now I see that you are pulling up the top first and gradually working down to pulling up the bottom all the way. That actually makes a lot of sense for the stability of the base. I was going to ask my tutor tomorrow, but I am actually going to try this once first and see if it works for me. Nice one!

Thank you for the multiple camera angles! This is the best video for making something taller!

@breadlytoasted Год назад

Thank you so much for describing how to get the walls to cone, and how to press on the thicker clay at the bottom. I've been struggling because I almost "scoop" it. You are the first person out of dozens of tutorials to actually explain that part.

@marciasilviajohnson6461 2 года назад

A tip for you, if the clay is hard , put it in the plastic bag or use the bag it came, and with the bag open thrown few times on the floor changing directions, it will soft the clay for you to wedge and is very nice to thrown after🤗

@LittleStreetPottery 2 года назад

Great advice! Thanks for watching!

@Moharani21 2 года назад

I make 2-3 holes in the clay. I squeeze a watery sponge to fill the holes in with water. I wait two days for the clay to be manageably soft to work with.

@freddiemoretti8456 3 года назад

Always working to get more height and I think this may help. On second thought it may be a losing battle at the age of seventy as I think if I remember that I will start shrinking as I age. Then again if I don't remember hearing that somewhere I won't worry about it. Thanks for sharing with us this downright serious video on pulling up and in ............the clay today.

@annruel1982 3 года назад

I could give it a try to make you taller Freddie, but I dont know if I can get you on my wheel, hahaha. .....but you are right about the pulling up and in. As long as the base stays wider then tapers to the top, it cant collapse and you have a better chance of gettiing the height. Thanks Freddie!!

@gaspazha7045 3 года назад

Great video and instruction. Can’t wait to test your new tips. I especially appreciated the part where you initiated the lift from the top portion of the cylinder. It makes so much sense. Thank you for sharing your expertise.

@annruel1982 3 года назад

Thank YOU for watching!! I do think there is a difference with "making sure the walls are nice and even and not too thick" from an actual "pull from the bottom" . i have heard other potters refer to both as a "pull", but I think that is confusing so I separated that out from actually "making a pull". ....if that makes sense.

@janhuisking1170 2 года назад

Oh my gosh this is so great! I only used 4 lbs today but by focusing in even walls and starting middle up and then bringing the bottom portion up the middle really helped. I’ve consistently had issues with my bottom half getting too thin and collapsing. Great technique. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for that Ann. i want to throw big but its scary. your video was good, moving up slowly in sections is something i'd not thought of, till now. just need class to start in September and wire off more than 2 or 3 lb of clay

@LittleStreetPottery 9 месяцев назад

Good luck!

@juliestrater439 3 года назад

Great video; I loved watching you throw six pounds! Love the tip about pulling from the middle, rather than trying to pull all the clay from the bottom on the first pull. Question; Is your finger position on the inside directly where the sponge is on the outside? Thanks for your videos Ann. They are so helpful!!

@LittleStreetPottery 3 года назад

Glad you enjoyed it!

@carmenmiller6622 2 года назад

This is a great tutorial, the music triggers anxiety though. I almost turned it off before even watching and had to mute the end.

@davidcudlip6587 3 года назад

14:08. I don't see a rib on the inside. I see a rib on the outside and fingers on the inside. Are you pushing the top of the vase with the outside hand/rib and bracing with the inside hand?

@annruel1982 3 года назад

Hi David. That was the part of the video where I was shaping the vase. by pushing the clay at the top inward to create a neck and pushing the clay under the neck outward with the inside hand to create a voluminous profile. I am not the most elegant thrower, but I can get the job done, haha.

@davidcudlip6587 3 года назад

@@annruel1982 Thanks. I just started making long neck vases and bottles. I have a problem with sinking shoulders and necks.

@annruel1982 3 года назад

@@davidcudlip6587 Gotcha David. It may be that your clay is a bit too thin when you try and stretch out the shoulders too. Perhaps, pulling more from the bottom to achieve the height instead of thinning out the clay at the top...then try the throwing stick to achieve the volume at the shoulder area to avoid the tired clay that is at the top of the vase. Have you tried a throwing stick. If the neck is too thin to get your hands into without stretching the clay out in tight neck area, a throwing stick will be able to get in there easier and help when the clay starts to sink.

@davidcudlip6587 3 года назад

@@annruel1982 I was thinking of ordering one or making one. That might help forming a good shoulder after the neck is collared in. Tonight I threw a replica of an 18th century rum bottle that surprisingly turned out okay. Those were actually hand blown glass but I like that shape. I just got into this last month and never worked with clay in my life. It can get addicting.

@annruel1982 3 года назад

@@davidcudlip6587 Wow, you are doing great then David. Congratulations. You are so right. it is very addictive :-)

@vzeimen 2 года назад

It seems like your inside hand is below the outside hand, this is opposite of what I've learned and strive for. I'm hoping to find another of your videos where you address the placement of your fingers as you pull.

@ludouglas1 Год назад

this didn't feel a confident tutorial. it went off centre early, it was uneven on the top, it had a terrible wobble and you pushed out at one point long before you were meant to and it had a bulge just below midway. then it started to collapse. you often didn't apply water to the walls after pulling up and with the rib, it started to get a corrugate dlook on the outside. This wasn't fluid as a process for beginners that's for sure. With the wooden rib, the whole pot was so out of whack, I felt anxious watching and didn't feel I learned a clear lucid way of creating a large pot.

@cookieoriginals8319 3 года назад

You are so sweet , did you do this just for me ;) ;) LOL

@annruel1982 3 года назад

Hahaha!!! I did think about that because you are right, the clay is very stiff, so I left in the tips about what to do when the clay you start with will hurt your wrists. Good catch, Cookie!!!
