Throwing a “One Piece” Lidded Jar on pottery wheel 

Thank you for watching! Also thank you for your comment which encourages me so much. I am new to RU-vid so I wonder my explanation is reaching the viewers. I will do my best to share my experience. Let’s make more pots together!😃

Sweet!

Thank you for your lovely comment Sashak 😊 ONE PIECE is one of my favorite techniques and I use it so often. I’m going to do it again with better explanation and details in near future. I’m so happy to hear you feel you want to go back to the wheel! Me too❤️

Isn't pottery fun!

Thank you for watching! This is really fun method, I want to make a step by step video one day to share with more potters😉

Thank you for your comment Angiea 😊 Yes I leave the lid on the pot. I want to them to shrink in the same condition. You may worried the lid is stacked the pot. In my case it doesn’t happen. The video one is quite tight you can see but no problem. You can start to make slightly loose fitting maybe.

Thank you for your your comment! I use the metal kidney to take a pot off. I used that method in the video “ Throwing a cup with twist”. the pot is attached mainly by the edge so just sliding the metal kidney in should be fine to separate the pot from the wheel. please try.

Thank you for watching! Yes I keep them together always. I didn’t show the details in the video but I used the wax at the gallery. I also use not runny glaze for ONE PIECE. I want to make a video which goes through the details of making ONE PIECE in near future as many people seems to be interested. Thank you for your question which helps me understanding what I am missing 😉

Thank you for your comment! I am glad I could make you want to do this😁Let me know how it went please.

Thank you for your comment Pale😊 I posted version 2 some time ago. It includes few points I was missing to explain so when you have time please check it.

Thank you for your comment Hannah😊 This is a very good question. I fired them together for the bisque and glaze firing. I need to choose non running glaze and extra care for the joint part cleaning. This pot is tight fit so better to fire the lid and the base together. When I fire the wider flat lid I could fire separately. The flat lid could sag sometime. I mentioned about this in the cookie Jar video which has flat wide lid. if you are interested in please check. Thank you for watching !

Thank you for your comment! I hope my Japanese accent didn’t put you off completely 😅 This method has so much potential. I am planning to post more ONE PIECE series in the future. I am so glad to hear you are going to try. I am looking forward to hearing your success soon😉

Thank you for your comment 😊. I posted the version 2 for this jar making recently. If you haven’t watched it please visit my channel. It covered many more points I didn’t explain in this video. There are many other closed form videos also in my channel. Please try to throw them!

Thank you for watching! I want to encourage everybody to try pottery 😄. It is difficult in the beginning but there are big rewards later. I am planning to post the video soon dedicated to beginner. I hope you will enjoy it.

Thank you for watching! I am so glad my experience can share with many other potters all over the world. Let’s make more pots together ☺️

Thank you for watching! This tube is water pipe insulation. you can buy at DIY shop in different size. My wheel setting is higher than usual to avoid the back pain. so I can not use my thighs for my arms anchor point. If you also have a same problem with me I recommend this style. ☺️

Thank you for watching! I don’t have on line shop yet. One day I will open the online shop.😋

Thank you for your kind comment 😊　it makes me very happy to share my experience.

Thank you for your kind comment 😊 It is a big motivation for making more video.

Thank you for your kind comment ☺️ It cheers me up! I am so glad my pottery style can inspire the people. I will make more:)

Thank you for your comment Fay😊. What I said was always at the subtitle so you are not missing anything 😉. I couldn’t digest your question well, sorry. Is the part “Lid catch” ? Your question was “how to hold the tool?” I looked the video again and I couldn’t think I use any unusual way to hold the tool at that point. So I thought I maybe not understanding your question. If you can rephrase your question for me please. By the way my next video is “One Piece Version 2” This video covers the details I was missing to explain. I hope next video will be useful for you.

Thank You!

Thank you for your comment 😊 Crack after drying? which part of the pot? If you are talking this close form pot and the crack is at the dome part pleas make sure your air vent hole is large enough to release the air. It may be closed during the drying and creates crack. If the clack happens at the bottom after trimming or firing, reduce the bottom thickness. This will prevent an “s” crack at the bottom.

Thank you for watching! I will do my best to share my experience.

Thank you for your question Jane😊. Yes I fire them together for bisque and also glaze firing. For the Glaze firing I need to wax the joint part very well. The glaze needs to be not runny one.

Thank you for watching! I am glad you like this method. I think this is a good example of “ there are many ways” . You are getting new wheel! Nice😍 Which make have you chosen? Mine is “Simpo” whisper. I have no complaints, I love it.

@@AlchemyCeramic mine is a yaekoo! It’s not that big which is what I’m looking for since it fits my studio!

Thank you for watching! Let’s make make more together 😄

Thank you for watching 😊. There are new versions. Please check those videos.

Thank you for watching!

Thank you for watching ☺️

Thank you for your comment 😊 I used metal kidney. Please watch my other video “One Piece Lidded Jar Double Decker Version “ at 10:40 you can see how I did.

@@AlchemyCeramic Thank you so much for your prompt response. I love your videos and how informative they are. You make some of the best throwing videos. どうもありがとうございます , 陶芸の名人

Thank you for your comment 😊. Those glazes are all made from raw materials. Oxidation mid range firing.

@@AlchemyCeramic awesome keep up the great work

Thank you for your question 😊. There is no speed meter on my wheel. The speed of the wheel is different depending on what I am doing on the wheel. I use a throwing batt most of the time so if you see how batt spins you can get some idea of speed at each stage. My wheel pedal is just under my right foot. I know it is difficult to find good speed in the beginning. The best practice is centering and making a cone shape nicely. Also using different softness clay. You will realize the combination of wheel speed and hand power are key points.

@@AlchemyCeramic thank you so much for your help! I’m going to keep trying until I master it! 👍😊🌸

Thank you for your comment Patricia😊 it is tricky to make the first one but after that this becomes easiest way to make well fitted lidded jar. Please let me know when you made.

😆

Thank you for your lovely comment Martia😊 Making pots nourish my spirits.

Thank you 😊

Thank you for watching! I hope my video inspired you to make ONE PIECE .😉

Thank you for your comment 😊

Hi Susan, thank you for your questions. I am not sure the first question’s meaning, could you explain again please. I used Stoneware buff with 20% Lava clay. Bisque fire is around 1000 degree. The glaze fire is around 1220 degree. I hope this will help 😊

​@AlchemyCeramic hello:) those must be Celsius degrees?

Susan, I'm not sure where you're getting "the lidded piece is called a sauce pot" Anyway, to answer your question, no, the clay pot is not used on a stove burner.

Thank you for your comment Giorgio😊

Thank you for your comment Potteryhandmade😊

Thank you for a lovely comment Tricia😊. Your comment made me so happy! It is very good way to make a bunch in one go so you can definitely master this. This is the comment I am waiting for. I feel sooo good!

Hi David😊 Yes it has for me. I love the adventure they go through to find the treasure. I can’t explain why I call this method “One Piece” as it will be too long🤣 simply I am also in the quest of finding ceramic holy grail.

​@@AlchemyCeramic wow well said. ✊✖️
