I appreciate what a great teacher you are Simon. You'll say, "do this", or "don't do this" and I'll wonder, "but why?", and you, as if in reply, will say, "because if you do that, this will happen". I love that you give us the reasons why. It makes the instruction relevant and much easier to remember, and that's why I'm always willing to give you a view, a click, a like and a share.

As always, Simon, Thank you! Even your videos that are a couple of years old are a treasure. I've been trying new fandangled ways to make bowls using ribs, etc... bottom line is, you only need your hands. Once I stopped fiddling and came back to the basics as you show here, my technique has improved greatly. I appreciate you.

amazing instruction Simon, we are making bowls as the new form in my class this week and your video is invaluable! I also appreciate your slower wheel speed, as a beginner, watching ceramics instruction videos on KZbin can be intimidating because of the hyper speed of their wheels! I can't go that fast! thanks again

Thank you so much Simon. You are like an old friend I haven't seen in years. I appreciate your KZbin channel very much. I am trying to get back into throwing again after a 12 year hiatus.

Very useful, Simon - Especially the bits about getting the height first and using the stick on the outside with the hand inside towards the end. I just tried throwing a bowl and managed it following these directions. I have made bowls before, but not in a single attempt! If you're ever making saucers I like to see how you tackle them - I'm struggling!

I found out the hard way that the rims of the bowls that are not rolled seem to chip much more easily than those of the bowls that are rolled. The bowls seem to work out much better when the rims are rolled, and they last longer as well.

This might be a dumb question, but when you roll the rim, does that trap air in the rim? Like a giant air column in the rim that goes all the way around basically?

No it doesn’t, it’s more of a folded rim that’s rounded off. Try it :)

I have trouble removing my pots from the wheel. Have to use bats and just leave the pot on the bat after cutting it off. However, this causes my bats to get a bit of mold on them.
@gabriellame18156 жыл бұрын
Grammie Gilliam hi Grammie), i am a newbie, but I learned, that repeating this steps help:1. Dry the wall with a rib or throwing stick (I do it 2 times), 3. Cut the excess clay at the bottom, 3. Dry the wheel around with a sponge, 4. I use Simon’s cutting wire (it helps, I think it lets some air between the bottom and the wheel), watch the mirror, not to collect any extra clay from the wheel.5. Dry the hands, 6. Use Churchill’s victory sign to lift up (first lift up the side where the cutting wire “went out”. I hope it helps! Happy pottering!)

Hello I'm curious on bowls how they are made an I'm thinking about making bowls. I like what you've done on making your bowls but I'm just also curious on the bowls that you've made, are these types of bowls that you're making, can someone use them for cereal bowls? Are those you make for outside for flowers to be placed in? I want to learn how to make the type of bowls that can be used to eat from. I'd like to make the type of bowls that are sold in stores that is sold in the kitchen ware. So any information that you could share would be highly appreciated. Thanks for your video an you've done a Awesome job with making your bowls. 😄

@fransaunders62523 жыл бұрын
Hello Billy TheMystery. I am also a student learning the processes. My understanding is that the process continues to complete the piece. It must dry to a leather hard stage, then you trim any excess clay away, make sure the surfaces are smooth and finished. It must be completely dry before it is ready to be fired in the kiln. After the first firing you can use any number of techniques to finish it. If it is to be used for preparing and eating food you must use glazes and techniques that are specifically intended for those pieces. I know, it is a lot to learn. Best of luck with your pottery journey, have fun along the way.
