Throwing and trimming a pasta bowl | MAE CERAMICS 

Couple things I love in your process. 1) You have the 'heavy lifting' done before you pull. You center, open, compress all before the first pull. You don't have to do more than 2 or 3 pulls because all is prepared. 2) You compress the bottom in setting the final inside shape. 3) You wait until leather hard to trim. So many people trim too early. 4) You get the inside 'pretty' while throwing, the outside while trimming. Great process!🙂

Beautiful bowl! I love your calm, specific instruction (i.e. reason for needing to use more clay for bowl) for your videos; it is so helpful for us beginners! I also love that you show your finished work (esp. in glazing video)! Thank you Lily!

Your video is the first I have seen for “creating” a bat ! I am a beginner and don’t have a lot of tools yet; THANK-YOU!

Thank you for explaining this so well! It was really helpful to see the same piece you threw being trimmed.

Yes trimming a long spiral curl is so satisfying! Love your tutorials Mae. You've helped me to become a better potter. Thank you.

My mom has MS and dexterity and processing issues, these have become our plates. Pasta bowls are now the default setting in our house. I love them! Thank you for showing me how they were made. I have always wondered.

I’ve been loving the videos! As a potter from Rio de Janeiro is very cool to see how other potter around the world do pottery. Sending my love, Fê

Love this shape, gonna try it! And thank you for your effort in making this video for us, beginners 😇

I just found this channel and this was soo satisfying to watch!

I really really enjoyed this, thank you! I have my first throwing lesson on thursday and you explained everything so carefully that I feel even more excited! I'm looking forward to exploring all your other videos!

Really useful video. I find shallow bowls the hardest things to make, but I’m going back to them tomorrow now I have watched this! Thanks

Some old kiwi potters in Oamaru showed me how just a wet chamois secured the bat underneath too!

BRB watching you trim that bowl on repeat for the next ten hours.

Thank you I reaally enjoyed your video! Also a pasta bowl is way more practical than making a vase hahaha

You're just lovely! Keep up your videos!💕I'm falling in love with pottery, now I must try🌈

Kia Ora from Whangarei! I’m subscribing and putting the bell on because yay for a kiwi potter 😍

I don't ever plan to do any sort of clayworking myself but I find watching other people do it very interesting. Great video!

Great video, thank you. I just came in from my little studio, was trying to make pasta bowls....flop, flop flop.... Will try again tomorrow using your techniques, and more clay! Thanks again for sharing your knowledge here, appreciated!👍👍

Love it! Thank you for this video!

Beautifully thrown. You mentioned the freckles were in the clay? Can you explain that? I am a new potter and could use some glazing tips. Thanks for the great video!

Thank you for such a thorough video. I’m going to try this with newly reclaimed clay tomorrow.

it looks so good. i love simple shapes theyre so satisfying to watch. makes me want pasta HAH

Excellent demonstration thank you. I'm going to try this today. Mx

Love your salad bowl . Love your work. I just started to make pottery. I'm very impressed on your work. Hope to see your another work soon.

waw! I just loved this🤩

Thank you, that was So helpful ! ❤️

This was such a great tutorial for a shallow bowl! I saw you answered a question about the width of the bowl once throw (so thank you!), but wondering about how wide you opened to at the 6:00 minute before you start with the walls?

That's impressive ❤️

예쁜그릇입니다. 영상을 잘봤습니다. 감사합니다.

Very interesting video : Did not know the sound thrick to estimate the thickness :very cunning !

So fun to watch.

Hi Mae I was watching your hands and realized that you use both hands to trim with? I am left handed and was taught to throw right handed which works ok but when I trim I find it difficult to do the walls of the pot and saw that you trim the rim with your left hand then the walls with your right hand? I have tried having the wheel turn clockwise and trim with my left hand but invariably my brain gets confused… did you train your brain to use both hands? Any tips? Love your work and explanations are top! Thanks

So amazing 🎉

This bowl is incredible. This is my goal to make a shape close to that in my pottery class (I'm still very much a beginner), if you had to estimate about how much clay would you say you used in terms of weight?

Very talented🤩👌👌👌

Very good video.

Great video!! I’m trying to make a set of these bowls that will stack and I’m having the hardest time!! Great tips in here. 🌈

Nice shape and thanks for sharing. Is the end bowls size difference due to shrinkage? it look more the 10/12 %

Well done. Questions for ya. Is there ivory color clay? And is there transparent glaze?

hi love! thank you so much for this video; i'm a intermediate potter but i'm learning something new everyday by the wonderful people here on youtube! i just had to ask where you got youe stamp made, it's so lovely and i was looking to make a custom stamp just like that!

This is great, thank you. You measured 6cm tall, how wide is the bowl when thrown?

Nice

Hi! How many grams did you use for the bowl?

Hi, thanks for this video. Where did you buy that little ruler?

great.. thanks :)

Love your video of throwing a pasta bowl. How much Clay would I need to make a large pasta bowl 26 cm diameter and 6 cm high? Thanks Carole

Hi! Love the video and watching your technique. Where did you get your makers mark made?? Thanks!

hey could you explain why pottery is not dishwasher safe and u make a very sartisfying work i appreciate it.

What kind of bat do you use? I’m unsure what kinds to buy? Love this tutorial. Thankyou

throwing bowls are easy, but throwing the who cabinet is the true test bit of arm work and gravity takes the rest really

Love this! Also note the heart on the base of the bowl before trimming? 🤍😇 10:28

❤❤

What size would you disc be before you start pulling out?

Hi Mae! I've been curious as to what kind/brand of throwing bat's you use? Thanks!

Hi, I love your throws/pasta bowls, they're beautiful! Do you sell them? Do you sell them in the US 🇺🇸??

HI, a beautiful bowl. Can you please tell me the width of the rim?

nice

Hi, Love the video! thank you, how many pounds of clay do you used for the pasta bowl? Thankss

Thanks for the excellent video!! ;)

Hey how much kg Clay do YOU use :)

😀👍🌸

Hi Mae :) can you tell me what the weight of the clay was for this bowl?

HII!! HOW MUCH CLAY DO YOU LEAVE USUALLY AT THE BOTTOM, 1.5 CM? OR MORE?

How many cm wide do you make this bowl? :) Looks like the perfect size!

I'm a lefty, too. When you are trimming, do you have the wheel going clockwise?

Love this best of all the pasta bowl videos I’ve watched! Very well explained complete with all my many questions answered in the video or in reading all the comments and answers. Beautiful bowl in the end and very simple procedure. Thank you so much!

Cool.

Olá! What's the diameter of plate?

I noticed that you're left handed and you tend to work more close to your body at 5-6 o'clock, with the direction your wheel is spinning you wouldn't be able to work on the left, but if you change the direction it spins you might find it easier (if your wheel can, the wheels I've used before could), it might take a while to get used to but it's probably better.

Can you share the kind of clay you are using? Starting to use more than just the studio provided clay and live the finished look of yours. Thank you!

Thanks for an awesome video! I love it! I made some pasta bowls yesterday and struggled to get them off the bats today (I wired them before taking them off the wheel). Just wondering if this is likely due to them not being dry enough? Haven’t had this issue with plates- but thinking the reclaim I used was quite soft and possibly needed more drying time.

Nice video! Very instructive.

Hi Mae! Love your videos 🧡 Can I ask you which wheel have?

I am in love with that bowl

Nice!! Thanks!
