Thank you, thank you, thank you. I've been throwing for about 3 years and have never been satisfied with my height results. This video has explained to me where I need to improve. I knew about collaring, but thought it was just for shaping. Whole new ballgame! Thanks again. Fritzi, Orange County CA
Thanks Beth! I never get tired of watching people throw. This is a great demonstration of collaring to get height. It’s so important to get those basics ingrained in our grey matter and muscle memory.
Thanks ! I haven't seen this technique for getting taller cylinders so I'm going to try it!! I'm fairly new to pottery making but still can't throw a 6" cylinder for a mug. I'm excited!!
Great vid......I'm a newbie thrower (10th week typically once a week ) and have just started venturing into cylinders I find that when I try to throw for height, by the time I get towards the top the clay drys out and gets to gritty to fininsh the pull any suggestions? Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us all
