Thank you so much for the demonstration on how to use the wooden knife. I've been screwing that part up for a while now! If possible, would love to see how you do it on a bowl. Thanks again!
Amazing ALL your videos very clear informative and not annoying 😂. Most of the RU-vid instructors try to be funny. You actually are funny.!! And you are real good as well. Keep it up!!
HeyTim,I just come across your videos. They are so much help. Thank you so much. You explain things so well. I’m enjoying watching every video. Thanks again, I’ve got a renewed excitement.
Thanks for all these beginner's videos, very helpful and informative and your voice is calming!! Also enjoy the patience and your step by step way, just started taking pottery classes and using the wheel so this is reinforcing everything :)
Thank you so much for this video. I have been using my tool all wrong and as a result quit using it, now I can go back to using it and getting great results.
Awesome, now I know what I've been doing wrong. When I try to remove the skirt from the piece, it always goes up against the piece I just made. Soooo frustrating! Thanks for the tips!
In my throwing class I use a bat and take my pots off when they're a little less "fresh". I feel the judging eyes on me all the time :/ This will definitely be something to practice. Thanks for going through it!
Ah I think my problem is that I don't remove the excess slip with the rib tool, so my piece is still really wet when I pick it up and it warps straight away. Thanks for the tip
Love the "snowbank" clay removal technique! Have you tried 6 inch hydrobats from the Ceramic Shop? They help the pot dry very evenly because they suck moisture out of the bottom of the pot. When approaching leather hard, the pot pops of naturally without having to be cut. Thanks for your video!
what happens after you finish a piece? trying to recall from my lesson last summer: - let it dry until leather-hard - put it upside down on the wheel with a little bit of water to create a seal - trim excess and create a foot - bisque fire - sand off lip and abnormalities - put wax on the foot (and anywhere else you want not glazed) - glaze - fire anything else I'm missing/forgetting in the lifecycle?
