7 easy steps to throwing a cylinder - Nov 12 -2018 with Simon Leach

[@realworldmom]

This was a great video! I love how you went back over each step as you moved forward.

[@radmune5]

I love seeing the way you position your fingers together. I'm in a class with some beginner throwers and I think some dont recognize how much easier it is to build walls when you start from a curved dome position, rather than keeping the shape entirely at a right angle from the beginning. Great steps!

[@aoefeable]

I’m one of the beginners! I’ve had 5 wheel classes and have yet to make a cylinders, only bowls. This video is very helpful in regards to what I was missing.

[@isabellemata9877]

I rewatched this video and I have found this once again, a helpful and easy refresher for my current project!

[@annagray6491]

I am a beginner and this video is invaluable! Thank you!

[@gabrielamedina4676]

"moment of truth" and he laughs! I love how humble you are!

[@Brik-in-the-sticks]

You are absolutely correct, basics are the foundation to any skill. No shortcuts, just building skill, takes time AND learning from someone who controls those basics. So, thank you for taking the time for me.

[@jaybreda1]

Brilliant! Step by step demonstration of cylinder throwing is exactly what I needed to see!

[@jaystride]

Kiln and wheel have just been installed! You have been an inspiration!!

[@msannatsem]

thank you! I’ve had 9 classes but this video taught me more 😆

[@MTimms62]

Very helpful to have it all broken down into 7steps. Thank you Simon!

[@BertCAmbrose]

Thanks for the video. Just beginning on the wheel. I can definitely see how "practice, practice, practice" on a cylinder is exactly what is needed

[@leticiascro81]

Hola Simon! Hace tiempo no te veia! Siempre tan cálido y didactico. Un gran abrazo para ti. Te saludo desde Argentina.

[@gough2]

Thank you very much for this video. It was very insightful and helpful to me. I believe I saw the mistakes that I was doing that you proved incorrect. Again thank you. 😊

[@DunoonVanRijn-dx1hr]

Never tire of the basics....Thanks for this Deja vu video......still practicing

[@alandunnighan2159]

Great instructional video as always. Always good to watch.

[@ThisSlowCoach]

Amazing! I love your style of teaching 🔥❤️

[@jar2979]

Thank you very much Simon. I have one question, how wide did you spread the cylinder? So it’s 5 inches tall how wide? And thank you for such a clear and concise video I shall practice.

[@ggrailbingham]

Did you ever find this out? I am also curious about this 😅

[@jar2979]

@@ggrailbingham I think he mentioned it in another video that he doesn’t really measure it. 🤷‍♀️

[@peggybarss9468]

Thx will give it a try! Always struggled with doing the cylinder.

[@gtrapper3745]

[@billspies435]

[@rachelhardy3381]

Very helpful. Thankyou. Everything clicked now.

[@gabrielamedina4676]

Massive thank you! It has been super helpful!

[@andrehernandez3840]

I’m new to throwing still learning but question that floor has plenty of thickness to trim a foot?

[@curiousamiba]

Hi Simon, just wanted to say you're awsome!

[@yummyummy619]

Thank you Simon, it a big help!!

[@emilyb.3361]

Super helpful. Thanks so much!

[@honeytta.studio]

You are an amazing instructor

[@Mikedartagnan]

A very useful review of the process. You say 12oz should make a 5" tall cylinder, but what is the diameter?

[@11pleon]

Probably just big enough to put your hand inside

[@Mikedartagnan]

I tried this today and mine was 5 1/4" tall and 3" in diameter, but I made the base a bit too thin.

[@sleachpots]

Mikedartagnan - 3" wide is good !

[@toniamoxley6467]

What is the base diameter?

[@mikeu5380]

Hello from Japan. Been "doing" pottery for a number of years, and I have become determined to be able to throw a pot WITHOUT luck. My goal is to eliminate the "happy accidents," if I can. Thank you very much, Leach-sensei, for your good encouragement! (By the way, I wonder if you ever received that caricature of grandad with Hamada-sama (sent, from Mashiko, to your email under my real name... ; )

[@georedegerloch1570]

That's exactly how I feel, thanks for bringing it on the point

[@melissagraham4569]

[@emmyloumccoy1221]

Bravo!!!!!

[@grinninggoat5369]

Lol, almost a full year later and I suppose that only the two most stubborn people in the world, who refuse to throw a cylinder properly, has made their voices known with a thumbs down. Hahaha (Who would thumbs down this video???)
