#pottery #pulling #beginner
this one is a little bit long but it is a very important skill to master when talking about thickness of your walls.
this video will go over how to pull your cylinder of clay and common mistakes I see most people make. I HIGHLY advise you to watch the other episodes I link down below before this video as they will help you immensely.
I will be letting a few more videos out after this on the subject as this is a very challenging thing to master for a true beginner.

When I pull, my fingers get wobbly and starts moving with the wheel and I lose the stability, why does that happen

@magichepidog5743 Год назад

@@priyanka0107 u need to get more good

@gb4670 5 лет назад

really appreciated the part where you cut the vessel in half, and show your hand positions, so much easier to "get". Thanks, have a Great weekend.

@apollofell3925 Год назад

Learned more in ten minutes than two fkin weeks in my college class. I have a terrible teacher, these tips are a huge help

@SasukesHott 4 года назад

I can't even begin to explain to you how much these beginner's guide videos are helping me! I'm in a 3 week intensive wheel throwing course, and about halfway through all my pieces are flopping. These videos have given me a clear understanding of the things I'm doing wrong, and how to correct them. I can't thank you enough for sharing this information.

@WhaleTank 3 года назад

I did my best pull to date because of this video. I watched it like 5 times before class and it was the most successful I have been yet. This video is *chef's kiss*

@moonriver1712 3 года назад

When you explained how pulling works I couldn’t believe I’d never realized it was just squeezing and pressure application. I’ve been trying to yank my clay up my vessel for like 2 weeks you saved my life.

@EarthNationCeramics 3 года назад

That's what I'm here for :)

@cherylelberytaylor4416 3 года назад

Wow, you need to be a teacher if ur not already. That was so helpful, thorough an amazing thanks for your time and your help.

@kerrim1986 5 месяцев назад

This has got to be one of the most helpful pulling videos around. That pressure one has my name all over it!

@thehallhive9425 2 года назад

Not only was this way more helpful than other videos, but the commentary was a nice touch. 🤣

@vhstv8440 5 лет назад

Thanks for this video! As a high school Ceramics teacher, it's always important to let students watch and learn from different potters who might use different techniques. Sometimes the kids will "get it" when they see or hear a technique explained differently than I can. Great demo!

@colterthompson6846 4 года назад

Thank you for this. The too-much-pressure-causes-twisting concept is huge for me at this point in my ceramics learning.

@Phidias81 4 года назад

I'm not a beginner. Higher than intermediate I would say, but in this video I've found some precious tips. In particular I loved the idea that the hands and wrist don't move, but rather the shoulders and the back! Also I couldn't understand why when throwing larger quantities of clay, my pot would become wobbly. You showed the exact position I was taking, putting the arm straight and detached from the body! Now I pay attention to that, and my pulls and nice and vertical again!

@chrisc6676 3 года назад

You're obviously the best teacher of how to throw on RU-vid. Thorough, clear, and you put the science and logic back into pottery. I just decided to throw and found your channel. Excited to learn a lot ! Thanks so much

@sophieoshaughnessy9469 11 дней назад

There is so much here my teacher never told me as I crashed in burned serially. So glad I found you!

@kellyluna307 8 месяцев назад

I'm taking a class right now and our instructions were a hand out and a bag of clay. I learned more in this 20 minutes than I did in three hours. THANK YOU for sharing your knowledge!

@them2rascals 2 года назад

I just dropped several hundred on a pottery class and now i'm like "why?" Excellent instruction!

@Rachel-nc8tr 3 года назад

@8:50 I knew I had to subscribe hahaha this was honestly the most helpful and informative video that I've seen so far and I'm so happy I found it. I will be binge watching this guy

@marthagSC 5 лет назад

Thanks so much! Explaining the “twist” really helped me...basic physics, but I had not thought of it that way. I’m taking a beginners course, and a few selected videos in between studio time helps me think through the process and get it ingrained better.

@nancyburns7513 4 года назад

I've been taking pottery lessons for 2 years switching from left-handed to right-handed. This video brought everything together in my head. Cutting the piece in half and explaining what happened was an amazing eye opener. Can't wait to follow more of your classes. Thanks.

@heatherstewart3295 5 лет назад

EarthNation Fan goal: popularize calling it ‘squeezing’ instead of ‘pulling’ :D

@RobinAlanaBerry 5 лет назад

Thank you so much for this! I am going to refer back to this over and over I'm sure!

@staciebarton3658 5 лет назад

Thanks for this video! I keep getting the twist. Now I know why. 🤓

@dbsartworks418 5 лет назад

Thanks, I have been throwing for a year and a bit and learned several new things!

@catladylife 5 лет назад

Thank you so much for the basic tips. I never really learned from the beginning. I started going to a local parks and recreation that was more like just open studio and everyone else had already been going for a while and just was doing their own thing. So I pretty much just learned from watching others. But I've learned a lot from videos like yours that show the very basics from the start. We need a good foundation to work on from the beginning. Thanks again

@cjsz6854 4 года назад

I especially like your instruction to use stabilized elbows to pull. I hadn’t thought about that before. Great tip.

@smartypantsify Год назад

Thank you, Dontae, I enjoy all your talking, jokes, and especially your mastery of working with clay!

@megankathleen8765 3 года назад

honestly, dude, thank you so much. the extra visuals you did in this series - such as slowing down movements, comparing wedging to revving a motorcycle, and slicing the cylinders in half to explain the process - helped me understand things about the mistakes i was making in class and the results i'm aiming for in a way that my college professor and the other videos on youtube were just unable to. i'm going to be an art teacher and so i have the complete authority to say that you are a genuinely excellent teacher for breaking down the process in this way.

@Xarxos 4 года назад

The part where you explained how you need to squeeze the clay upwards really helped me to visualise, and also the part where you showed how the twisting can occur definitely made me realise what I was doing wrong! Thank you so much for this! The video was brilliant! :D

@Jinxaire 5 лет назад

You explain things so well and show me exactly what I need to do/how to move my hands, elbows, and fingers. You explained it succinctly than my ceramics teacher. Great job, thanks. Subscribing for more.

@mirandacatharineescalante5271 4 года назад

Thank you for making these videos sir; they're very helpful for ceramics class at school.

@alishaharris6407 2 года назад

I was having so much trouble pulling a wall until I found your video. Thank you!!!

@clairepeters4964 3 года назад

I cannot believe watching you once helped me so much! I have never been able to pull half as well before this! You give such a good description of something that is so hard to describe. Subscribing to your channel right away. Never written a comment on youtube before but this actually made me so grateful I had to! You are a fantastic teacher. Thank you!!!

@norkelbri Год назад

I have learned more from your beginner series than I did I the past( weeks in a wheel class! THANK YOU.

@merrillranken6135 3 года назад

The specific shots and comments about hand and finger position were SO important. The tip about moving the elbow (flex biceps) was game changer for me. Thank you so much!

@amandajohnson5293 5 месяцев назад

Great video. Good info for me starting to pot after 45 years. Love your approach. I appreciate the “why “ of the action. The twisted humor works . You are refreshing to watch.

Thank you so much for these beginner videos. I truly appreciate your thoroughness. It really helps with my understanding and confidence. Now i finally feel ready to turn on my wheel for the first time.

@asmrdazzle 3 года назад

Thank you so so much!!! We recently started throwing on the wheel in my ceramics class and I’m getting the hang of it and making complete bowls, but I was struggling with pulling and also using wayyy too much water!! I’m learning so much from these beginner videos, they are so helpful!!

@annewatkis5824 Месяц назад

@janesaunders576 4 года назад

Thanks for the refresher course. It's been 40+ yrs since I last touched clay. Now I'm ready to get my hands dirty again and I'm really looking forward to it! 😺

@eden5887 5 лет назад

These are great videos. I threw a little in college, but was more of a handbuilder. Ten years later, I'm reteaching myself at home, so having all these great tips & reminders is awesome. I've watched quite a few videos, and these seem to be the most in depth!

@gracelouise3014 5 лет назад

@neilahalter9663 Год назад

Thank you foe for such a detailed lesson on pulling up . I'm taking 2 different classes on pottery and you just showed me how to correct my pulling. Thank you again .

@sharonschutt7500 2 года назад

This was excellent !!! Some teacher don't realized that as a beginner, a thorough description of a process is a good thing.

@camillet9883 2 года назад

I practiced a bunch of cylinders today, then watched this video again. Now things make more sense. Thank you for the clear instruction.

@vjvierengel1176 5 лет назад

Thanks Donte! I’ve been potting for about 6 months now, so still a beginner. I went through a stage where I did a lot of repetitive practice with pulling cylinders, and I got quite a bit better. Recently, though, my cylinder pulling started to go bad. Not enough water, my left arm not braced, and too slow a pull all seem to be the culprits, based on your excellent demonstration. Can’t wait to get back in there and adjust those and see how my work improves! Thanks a ton!!!

@nikikavian1076 2 года назад

Thank you...Thank you....Amazing instructions with all your posts..much appreciated. X

@artmelodic 4 года назад

Thankyou so much for this video! I'm an Aussie and have only just started on the wheel...literally done it twice! Once with teacher assistance and once on my own. I recognised many of the issues you spoke of with both myself and my classmates. My issue was mainly not getting the height. The way you disected and showed finger positions was awesome..thankyou!! My teacher is amazing at explaining and demonstrating what she is doing and fortunately has taught me the method you use however the disection really made me understand what my finger positions should be and how the clay reacts. I'm definitely going to show my classmates this as one in particular was getting the twist n slump. I think this may show him where he is going wrong. You are an amazing teacher and I'm a new fan!

@Aaron.101 8 месяцев назад

Thanks, the demonstration on pulling was great. I enjoyed the part when you cut and showed the pull.

@fuzzy_tinybee 3 года назад

I centered my clay for the first time today!!! And then it flopped when I tried to pull it up 😂 so here I am lol, I'm gonna try again 😄

@Mamii363 2 года назад

@eryngarcia9040 3 месяца назад

Started a pottery class yesterday & had a wonderful time, but I could feel that I needed better understanding of what the clay was doing so I could correct what I was doing wrong. This was *phenomenal* for the way my brain works, thank you!

@claireginon7663 10 месяцев назад

Excellent teacher, correcting my mistakes and giving me faith to continue ❤

@meredithinserra4670 5 лет назад

VERY helpful! I've only been at the wheel about 3 years as a hobby potter and nowhere near a master yet, so I mess up a lot, throw unevenly, don't throw consistently, etc. I have improved a LOT but I have a long way to go. The elbow thing I HAVE to try! I bet that's going to help me a LOT!

@charliemilam5757 Год назад

Man you’re a rockstar, you explained this so well and helped me a ton!

@johnnyrey7769 3 года назад

I use my knuckle when I pull. Strange but it works for me. Love you vids. They help a lot.

@dennishartley-realestateag3467 9 месяцев назад

Thanks for the awesome videos, entertaining and really helpful for a beginner who just makes the same mistakes over and over.

@ceel.2361 2 года назад

This is such a great tutorial! I just had three pots destroyed when pulling halfway up because I was moving my hands! (Just started in the wheel). I can’t wait to go back and practice this method!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!!

@hannahhalow5340 2 года назад

You’re a really good teacher! I’m excited to try this out! And you’re funny too, Thanks

@elisec9530 5 лет назад

Thanks so much! I just started a wheel course and I have * mostly * figured out centering and opening, but I could not for the life of me figure out what to actually do with my hands to pull. The caterpillar and the inside pressure being slightly above the outside pressure are just the tips I need. Also: where do you get your nice floppy sponge? Mine is big, and stiff, and sad.

@EarthNationCeramics 5 лет назад

It's a mudtools sponge I bought from the company.

@artmelodic 4 года назад

I too agree, that tip was one I needed too.
