Throwing / Making a Pottery Ginger Jar Pot on the Wheel. 

A.) Humans suck.

+Eefje Merckx Thank you, I've had a lot of practice though.

+Scout Broughton Thanks a lot.

REALLY? THIS IS SO COOL

Watch asmr videos

Good luck with your new job then :D :D

+Paul Woolley I've done a bit of a slideshow of some of the glazed pots. I'll post it up soon.

What Type Of Clay Do You Use ? And What Brand Is It ?

+beth savage Give it a go, Thanks.

+Ingleton Pottery I tried the apple you made a while back. But didn't turn out right. My teacher in high school showed me your videos and I fell in love with pottery. Thank you for so many great ideas

+Haitham Bilbeisi Thank you, I'll keep them coming.

Yeah

Different areas of the world use water differently when throwing. Potters in Scotland tend to use a lot. In America, it varies but potters use more water there than in Japan. Japanese potters use only enough water to create a slurry, then wet their hand and the clay using the slurry. Hope that helps to explain it a little. Regardless of where a potter is though, they tend to use a method they were taught. ;-)

+BoneChillinMusic He makes his own tools. I believe there are a few videos where he mentions how to make them.

+microiguana Thank you! Just the video :)

Separately so it doesn't stick!

+thpt I hear the sound of the wheel running, which could sound like dripping water, and then he dips his hands in a bowl of water intermittently while he is throwing.

Maybe you're hearing the camera adjusting? But it's very faint..

It's in almost all of his videos, and you can hear it only while the wheel is off and it's quiet.

thpt it's that tub refilling with watet

gladius187 yes

I usually smack the clay (for beginning, just make sure you're using properly wedged clay and make it a sphere before smacking it down so you don't have an air bubble trapped, that's usually what causes it to come up) down on the bat or wheel and then go around the edges with my finger to push it down and seal it to the bottom, then I'll begin using water to wet the clay and go over the edges again to make sure it well sealed, and then before I begin pulling up at all, I push down first to help create the seal better. Practice with this a lot and if you find you're still having issues, try dampening your wheel or bat but NOT the clay.

I'll try and rewrite that a lil easier: 1. Take a ball of properly wedged clay that isn't wet (as in water dripping off of it), but still easily moldable. 2. Smack (enough force to make a smacking sound but don't obliterate the clay) the clay on the wheel. 3. Press down slightly on the clay and then press down the edges of the clay where it meets the bat/wheel so you can make a proper seal between the clay and the bat/wheel. 4. You can start using water now for centering but push down before you pull the clay up to be safe. And if that doesn't work out well for you, try wetting up the bat/wheel a bit before you smack down the clay, but DONT WET YOUR CLAY, otherwise it won't stay at all.

+Olivia Ly I've done a few videos on centering. Have a look through my videos for "Centering" and it may help. Thanks.

thanks mr. :) I'll watch those.

It is a ginger jar :)

Jetstream 10 no its not

The title says "Making a pottery ginger jar". But ok, I guess it could be used as a cookie jar too.
