ohhhh...the look of traumatic recall of the old studio at 6:05 is priceless!! LOL.

[@lailinshale]

as far as merch goes: if you did a t shirt/hoodie that had a drip design from the shoulders that looks like a drippy glaze, it would look so cool.

[@diystarms6550]

Never start real size pottery yet, only miniature pottery at this moment, so this is a good video before I start throwing on bigger wheel. Thank you, very informative.

[@Cate7451]

Thanks this sounds really great. One needs some great basics. But as few as possible. Also, wet rags, mop and bucket, bakers racks, everything on wheels, giant car sponges, ripped foam pieces for rougher work, hammer, rubber hammer, platters for drape mold, recycled printer paper,

[@theslenderchick1797]

Yay!!!! You are going to NCECA!!!! This will be my first year going. Now I am super excited, and will deffo come see you at the booth!!

[@feefeesolovely2550]

Thank you very helpful

[@lydiabosley9152]

Love your wacky energy! As for favorite tools, I do a lot of sgraffito-over-underglazes, and I love the Xiem ribbon tools for carving through the layers, esp. one which has an elongated small oval at the tip - perfect!

[@Cate7451]

Interesting, I’ll have to look that up🐈

[@julies4106]

Oh, just ordered the trimming tool from Old Forge. I haven't had a chance to use it yet (in the middle of remolding two bedrooms, one to make a clay room!). I can't wait to get my hands on that puppy!! I do use the Mud tool, tools.

[@mel4333]

Oh Jon! You're so crazy, love your presentation. You make the pottery tools so cool!

[@amyponce1103]

Hahaha... I love the juggling! You are a fun guy and that’s one of the reasons I love your channel!

[@adirutler5221]

me to

[@brendenkoontz4614]

The bottle cap is genius

[@marinaiakovel3045]

You are the best! Thank you!

[@TinyTina_Rage]

Thank you! Hoping to learn how to throw so this was a great, quick “what is this thing?” video! Love your style!

[@peggyhollis8050]

Great info! Thanks so much! Making my wish list now😂

[@karlafrostfire78games48]

Thanks that helped me learn about the essentials and about them

[@kristin3125]

Iam loving you 📹's. You are amazing. New to this. You are a big help. I started pottery and it is my new happy place and I dont want to stop.

[@srhsmustangmudhole1156]

This fan girl is so excited that you will be at NCECA! I will probably be crying when I meet you because I am not cool AT ALL!

[@krishughes-craig2575]

I just ordered my firat MudTools!!! Thank you. Literally! :)

[@SetGozo]

yes love this one,very helpful

[@J_young_824]

Your videos are so addicting. I really wanted to try pottery. 😍😍😍

[@Anthonyfontano]

Thank you for this video💖

[@emilycohan]

Yay - thx for this video. 😊😎

[@user-ow7bi3se2b]

Hahaha *me running around for bottle caps and paint scrapers*

[@konstantinr.7123]

Awesome video 😁

[@hilde8900]

Thank you

[@marlaleticia6349]

I from Brazil, I Love your work

[@BrokenArrowPottery]

Love the video! Juggling needs work. ♥♥♥ Cheers!

[@sueholt3549]

Thanks Jon. So wish those kiln shelves were available in the U.K.!

[@lilyruin]

Sue Holt yeah, so do it.

[@catladylife]

When I load my kiln now I can only think of the advancer shelves! I gotta get me some. My kiln is super old and manual. Hope to get a new one with new shelves.

[@catladylife]

I just heard on the video that you are going to NCECA this year. This will be my first time. I look forward to seeing you there

[@sylviadeleon1866]

Great video, great information, !!! Love you back !!!

[@KatherineVictoriaArtist]

Hi, Jon! I love your work!! Could you possibly go into more detail on how to use the diamond spinning trim tool? I tried the bottle cap version and my pots would get caught on the excess clay being trimmed and then and fall down. How do i prevent that if im not using the little pieces of clay around the side? Thank you!

[@incendi4ry]

OKAY. You had me in a panic juggling for pots. I also would have appreciated seeing the grinding stone in action on that mug, but perhaps I can find another video elsewhere. Gorgeous stuff, as always. Thanks for the content!

[@incendi4ry]

HAHA. I spoke too soon. The next video in the list is (literally) your How to SAVE POTS and DISCOUNT MUGS! video and it started with a grinding tool. :')

[@tabithaingram9042]

im in love the that Russian doll bat system... they look perfect for what im about to do.. John my pottery arrived damaged... so im throwing more money down on a wheel that initally planned. yes free returned and refunded . and yes sir that hoodie looks cozy. on that specific bat system ..... where exactly can i find it? im a craftsmans daughter so i end up making alot of the things i need in my life when i cant find what i need at a price that fits... but i cant make these easily so i would consider buying

[@tabithaingram9042]

spcifly a url ... right here in the comments would be great

[@cgmissy9880]

So no kiln wash on the Advancer shelves at all? Couldn't tell from your video or their site having never seen these shelves before. I really like the idea. And BTW I love my Mudtools trim tool too. I checked out the grinder discs and was a bit taken aback by the price. I may still have to get one as I tend to screw up glazes when playing around with "I wonder..."

[@lynmattern9738]

Got my tshirt!

[@julies4106]

Love your videos and energy. I think your juggling is great!!! So, with the new kiln shelves, do you no longer use cookies?

[@loribidgood2259]

Hey, Jon. Could you please put the link to the gradient background that you use for shooting photos of your pots? Hope to see you at NCECA! I only live about 3 hrs away.

[@baronalexis3852]

I read the title of this video whilest looking at the thumbnail of the video beneath it, which had a 9 barreled musket on it, safe to say I was amused :D

[@Bible.Thumper]

“One too far.” The reason why JTP only breaks one pot when he juggles them: Son: Hey mom! Have you ever noticed missing things are alway found at the last place you look? While JTP’s pottery is A#1, his KZbins are perfect: Informative, well lit, well-edited, cheerful.... He even waits until you have seen his videos before asking to Like, Share and Subscribe. Thanks!

[@hlopez9696]

Hello from England! I love your fun, positive energy videos. I am a bronze & ceramic sculptor, but find it hard to sell work that is quite expensive. I've always wanted to try pottery as I love working with clay, so now have a wheel too. I am watching my way through all of your videos. Throwing is hard! For a pure beginner, could you please suggest 10 items to throw in order of ease? I'm not sure what I should be attempting first. I can just about center, throw a coaster, a cylinder & a very small vase. What order would you suggest so that I can improve steadily? Thank you for sharing all of your useful tips. Keep making your lovely videos. They are a delight to watch 😊. Helen

[@Cate7451]

He didn’t really answer this question. Bowls are good because they are simple. Making the same thing over and over really teaches you. I tried to make everything at the beginning and had many failures. It was sad because I elaborately decorated them. Mugs sell very well but you have to learn to attach handles and make them. At the beginning you are very much learning the touch and feel of clay. I found that every 6 months that I was better. Wobbly mugs were good to practice glaze on.

[@hlopez9696]

@@Cate7451 Thank you for your suggestions. Gosh 2 years have passed now and I did find that little cylinder egg cups were brilliant practice. Then espresso cups, spoon rests, mugs and salt pots. I still need to attempt bigger bowls. Having the clay the perfect consistency really helps. I love throwing pottery. For anyone starting, just keep at it. It is so rewarding xx

[@mrwebbelfixit]

Jon Have you ever used the bat system they sell at Continental clay, that is a lot like the one you have in your video?

[@janetjohnson998]

Thanks! What about you air cleaner?

[@sheepsrubberpants]

Great video. I’m nursing a metal rib cut...OMG I swear it’s worse than a paper cut. 👍🇬🇧

[@gsandau]

So am I!

[@puppylover081001]

What bat system do you use?!?! It’s not in the description

[@eildonn]

How do I become a patron?

[@copic_dani4543]

Hiii great videos, just found your channel a couple of weeks ago and they are very helpful. Just wanted to say you look somewhat like Peter Mckinnon he's a photographer and filmmaker. 😅😂

[@copic_dani4543]

You should watch one of his videos and lemme know if its true or I'm just tripping 😆

[@Jonthepotter]

Haha I love Peter McKinnon, his channel has been a huge inspiration for me:)

[@copic_dani4543]

I feel like you guys have the same energy. I wonder how would a video of the 2 of you guys look like, I bet it would be fun since you guys are both cool

[@ozrif]

What paint do you use when firing the clay

[@Cate7451]

We call that paint glaze. Mostly he uses prepared glazes which is more expensive than mixing your own perhaps.

[@osmanyreyes8373]

I got a nasty cut in my finger today. The straight side of the metal rib slashed my index finger😐😐😐

[@gsandau]

I use a DVD for a spinner 🙃

[@wefimi]

What is the name from this oven plates?

[@Cate7451]

Sorry don’t understand try rewording🐈

[@meand3786]

👍🏻

[@danielacaporro520]

Salve dove posso acquistare questa attrezzatura? Non me la cavo molto con l’inglese.

[@Cate7451]

What language are you speaking? Where do you live?

[@Wonderland_Homestead]

OH ITS A MUG. I saw the pi symbol weeks ago, but this is a whole new perspective.

[@breathewithfairy7789]

First time hand building: "something hurts..." *me looking at my bleeding index finger* "gosh I cut myself" I mean I am really talented, I can accidentally hurt myself with anything... Good thing to know people do cut themselves on metal ribs... so its not just me

[@nicolaswann5456]

🤣 one too far 🤦🏻‍♀️ I’ve bought a few of these already thank you.

[@romainiktis7313]

I like you too, I see from France. See u soon 😉

[@surendarkkl3937]

Hi sir I can help you

[@Cymbelin]

I was shocked to see a grinding tool in a studio. I was taught to never sand or grind my work, for any reason. Risk inhaling glass particles? Silicosis is not pretty, so if you're going to recommend such practices, I would suggest you at least make it clear to your viewers how imperative it is to wear a mask. Even better, become skilled enough that sanding or grinding is unnecessary.
