First some images of my finished work and then me throwing on the wheel. This is my first attempt so I hope to get better.Please be gentle! For more information and images go to www.timgeeceramics.co.uk
This is a lovely video of Tim Gee at work, throwing an incredibly fine porcelain bowl using Audrey Blackman porcelain. It is astonishing how the material stretches and becomes practically filmlike in Tim's hands, on the Shimpo wheel. Congratulations Tim; I look forward to seeing the next stages of wiring your bowl off the wheel and refining it further. Would be great to see maybe a short section, where the viewer can see your head and position of the shoulders too whilst you work.
Good to see your work again Tim. I was a student at Plymouth while you were there. Greetings from Greece and keep up the exquisite work! Marissa Taboulchanas
Couple of things, firstly its not a shimpo its a pottersmate wheel somewhat adapted to my needs. I will try to show the turning process of the same piece in the next video.
Thanks for comments, turning video will be up soon. I have used most porcelains, best I have tried is Southern ice from Australia. Expensive, but very white, very good to throw and very translucent, but too fragile when dry. AB porcelain is good to throw and hand build. Worth a try if you can.
Tim, Not to toot your horn too much but thanks for the excellent upload. It is nice to have extended video and youtube is missing good, simple people just doing some great throwing! Would love to see when you get a chance to trim. I think maybe later in the year I can look into what it would take into importing some of the AB Porcelain. Have you tried any other porcelains that stood out or heard of people using Ukrainian Porcelain? I heard it stands up well and has a great kaolin. Cheers from CA
awesome demonstration. I recently tried poreclain for he first time and it's so hard. Just by opening the clay the rim suddenly gest these overlapping bumps. Any advice on that?
