27. 12 lb. Lidded Jar (2x speed)

Here's a 12 pound lidded jar video. I have learned this technique over the past 20 years starting with a video I saw 20 years ago of Waymon Cole throwing a two piece pot similarly to how you see me throw this lidded jar. I've sped it up 2x to help with the video duration. I hope you enjoy!

Very well done for 12 pounds! I’m impressed.

No torch needed Great skills

[@STAIND12300]

Do you score the lip before attaching the second half? Or just place on top and let the slip and weight attach it?

[@TangoTekLP]

Wow. My mug was child's play for you :-) Very interesting to watch

[@MatthewKellyPottery]

Thanks so much. Well, every piece has its difficulty. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I hope your wife is enjoying her mug as well. Cheers!

Great video and commentary. Really like your work and what you have to say. Thank you.

[@cindyperry4721]

Your work is just awesome! I would like more commentary and show how you hold your hands inside to shape. I don't care how long your video is because it's so educational. I'll watch! Thank you.

[@giselegawlak6458]

Beautiful work. You are very talented!

[@MatthewKellyPottery]

Thank you very much! 20+ years of practice but I still enjoy it!

The double speed had me constantly on edge of my seat- TOO FAST!! oh wait, its 2x speed. Impressive size for 12 lbs. I would have stayed for the 25 minute version. More shots of how you're using your inside hand would be educational. BTW.. where's the lid? and the finished piece. Moar vids!

[@MatthewKellyPottery]

Thanks for the comments. I'll upload the full video in case anyone cares to see. It would be a bit difficult to video my inside hand but maybe I can work that out eventually. Doing multiple angles is tricky as well since I have to stop in the middle to reposition the camera. I know it makes for more educational and entertaining footage though. I'm working on more videos. They will be out soon. Cheers!

[@zarouszz]

No need to reposition camera, just pull your hand out and show how/where you're pushing from inside. Looking forward to more videos!

[@MatthewKellyPottery]

Wow that was fast! You are very welcome.

i want to learn pottery. do you think its dificult.

[@chriscamping9203]

No music would be better even with just background sounds. I would also like to know how you went about finishing it.

[@MatthewKellyPottery]

Background sounds at 2x speed would be pretty interesting to hear. Probably sound like chipmunks and a high pitch whine from my wheel. Haha. Thanks for the input. That one was fired in a wood fired salt glaze kiln about 2 years ago. I’m working on making more detailed videos now than I used to. Cheers.

[@chriscamping9203]

@@MatthewKellyPottery that is true I hadn't thought about that. I could also have muted the sound. Either way. Great work. I was wondering more about the handles and decorative work. Looking forward to seeing more.

[@clifforddalton3067]

at 74 I find my hands are not so steady nowadays and quite often my hand will cramp around the pot whilst throwing too, oh well< hehe. Maybe that's why my shaping comes from the trimming [is that cheating]?

[@jaymassey7931]

Sweet video and pot! And please, up your music game

[@MatthewKellyPottery]

Thank you. If you have a plethora of royalty free music that will work with my videos feel free to share. Thanks!

[@gooberpones]

[@MatthewKellyPottery]

That's a great name! Did you know there's a famous author/motivational speaker with the same name?

[@gooberpones]

+Matthew Kelly Pottery agree it is an awesome name. but I did not know that. I'll definitely look into to it

[@MatthewKellyPottery]

I have never looked him up but heard about him on a trip to England I took several years ago.
