Throwing Tall Skinny Bottles - 6lbs 

I had to go back and watch the out-takes twice. Talented and funny. Thanks.

Love the music on the second bottle. I just started throwing 6 weeks ago, so all of this makes so much more sense than before.

Hahaha...loved the bloopers!! And, the t-shirt!!!

Thank you

you should have more views...amazing work

the choice of t shirt for this demo is epic ;)

I love how you show how high you get with 6 pounds of clay, I really like that idea because it’s efficient. If I may ask, how wide are they and how thick do you make the walls. I’m trying to do a unique bottle type but I think my first one was way to skinny, and didn’t work out, (but hey that’s why we keep at it.

You make this look so simple but I know it is not Great work

you' sure have come a long way since we first made contact. Eye laser surgery for one, also my talking you into Patreon which I hope has helped you out a lot. Also you've become a "dab hand" at narrating your videos, this in itself is sure to have helped so many people. Your camera techniques have improved no end. well done Matt.

You said it att 13 min. Thanks for not speaking all the time! Silent concentration is beautiful!

That clay body throws tall well I’m curious what it is. I have found some Kentucky Mudworks clay I like for tall stuff

I feel like I'd lose skin and fingers throwing on a square bat

Beautiful! Sry if this has been asked already... what clay body do you throw with?

LOL...burrrp

How is it that a number of comments concerning the subject matter appear before you even center the clay !! Interesting !!

Thanks for the video Matt... watched this 4 times. This is one of the tricker ones. Once I get at about 14" I have trouble getting the clay up, or it buckles or I get thin spots. Super fun.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge! p.s., love the shirt!

These bloopers are hilarious! Thanks for the educational videos and explanations. Love your videos and I’m always learning something new from you!

Every time I watch this I learn something. Thanks!

I watched this yesterday and was so inspired that I'm watching it again today :) I do have a picture of the ones you made years ago Matt. It's also another skinny necked bottle so I'm bound to like it more :) Thanks Matt

I hope you don't usually wear your hear like that...it looks stupid!

Thanks for another video! You make it look way too easy.

Awesome throwing there Matt, such control and steadiness throughout. That second one sure gave you much less problems than the first, you always seem to be able to get around those problems though :) I want one ;) Keep me updated please. Regards and safety for you and your family.

Excellent camera work on this one. Those close ups of your pulls are perfect. I've re-watched that video from a few years ago of you making a tall bottle from 6lbs many times. That and this one are great. Thanks again for another fantastic video.

howsit going bro, hope all is well. i really like your lil close up shots your splicing in. nice to see the detail of your technique. very nefty

Your pottery is always fantastic.....but can we talk about your shirt for a second. That shirt is AMAZING, as I am sure the person behind that sentiment is as well! I also need to get me one of those. 😀

Say what your hand is doing inside

You are the "tall boss" ! I am so impressed and am really working on my tall cylinders and find it a struggle! Well done!

Does your clay body contain grog? If so, does it affect glaze and surface appearance?

Very nice. Consider that trimming is the other half of the process.

Awesome

Nice work. Did your wife buy you the t-shirt? :) I'm going to have to try a 6 pound bottle to hold some peach vinegar I made.

Shine on. Love what you are doing. Thanks for the helpful video

love your pottery, your teaching, and... your outtakes! :)))

Who would have believe that you were making your Distancing mugs 22020! By all accounts you could still be making them as "Social distancing 2025" How sad

The old flowerpot makers in the UK often did a left hand knuckling in for the first pull on the 12 or 16 or 24 pounders using the heal of the left hand . George Curtis at Littlethorpe Pottery used to say "Let the wheel do the work " :) . Are you near my old friend David Stuempfle ? Great throwing . there Matt

thanks

I've seen some potters stand up when they make that last pull. Good to have long arms.

I've started throwing bottles and the taller they get the less clue I have how to trim the base? I've shaped them upside down on a coffee mug but that doesn't work when they're bigger

the last bottle went really well throughout, excellent

You absolutely had me holding my breath on that first one. I could sit and watch you throw pots all day long.

Awesome job! I have the same issue when talking to my students and demoing I never get it to work out. I just need to focus still..:)

Oh god, how do you tream that!

nice job !

Great video Matt you need a 4ft or 5footer for the front of the wood fire cover and ash. Check out nic Collins bottles.

Another excellent video. Regards to your wife for being perfect (like mine). ;-)

Awwwwww what a sweet guy you are . . . It's the T-shirt silly. Your pots aren't bad either!!!!

Wow you are awesome. I'm a total disaster compared to your efficiency.

I really enjoyed this video :D How do you finish the bottoms? do you trim them at all?

Really enjoyed ....... good tips......glad to hear you help feed the family...be safe!

Fabulous! How tall are the bottles from 6pounds of clay? Thank you :)

How tall is the first vase you threw?

Love your bottles but love that shirt!

Fantastic technique... the Bottles look great!

Thank you for such an excellent video 😊

Hey Mr. Kelly, I find inspiration in your videos and other pottery videos here on RU-vid. After Watching pottery videos and wanting to do pottery for years and years, I signed up for a 4 week class today. It's very exciting and also a bit scary to learn something I've never done before, but your bloopers at the end of this video shows the kind of trouble you go through to share your knowledge here and that believe it or not gives me hope to step into an unfamiliar area and learn along the way. Keep inspiring many people and I wish you and your family best wishes :) thank you!

Thank you so much for sharing. I've been struggling with making a taller shape. I keep losing it about mid-way. Also, sometimes I struggle to understand how tall I should be attempting with a certain amount of clay. Is there a rule of thumb? Thanks again for a great video.

Who got you that tshirt? lol

I like your shirt

Amazing!

Your light is shining

Omg

Your human and retakes are Cracking me up. Glad you kept them.
