It took me a couple of years before I could make anything that was even remotely decent, and then for some reason after all the struggling you can throw better. 20 years on and I'll admit I'm still learning new things, and you just keep on improving. Just stick at it,it'll come eventually. Cheers,dan.
I dunno if you're gonna read this, but this video inspired me to make ceramic eggs by myself. Thank you for the inspiration, and a lovely work of art!!
+Sashean Kennerson +Amy Nguyen I have to admit, me too.. it's calming to slowly see the final shape rise up ,on one hand (literally!^^), but on the other hand I am still stunned how simple something so delicate is created... Must be a beautiful craft.
I don't know how I got here but I live pretty close to Ingleton, as I'm in Lancaster. Such talent, always wanted to work with clay, but don't know how to start.
BOBA THEE CAT I took a pottery class at my school and I can say this, it's not soothing until you get good You have to have a lot of patience and also, if the bowl or whatever looks good, stop touching it, quit while you're ahead, which I learned the hard way Also using smaller ammounts of clay is much easier for a beginner
I was looking for a way to make an egg on the wheel because I want to make a dragon egg. Thanks for the tutorial. I have a better idea of where to start now. :)
wouldnt that explode in the kiln? Because the moisture inside the egg would become steam inside the egg. And without an exit for the steam it would just explode .-.
Wow, I've been watching your videos for quite a few days now on making/throwing different pots on the wheel, and being that I am in a Ceramics 1 class this semester... you make this look SO easy. It is incredibly difficult for me to even make a simple cylinder! It is amazing watching you do what you do. And if you dont mind me asking, how many years have you been doing pottery? And what kind of clay do you use? (We use earthenware at my school =) )
