Chillax and Watch Me Throw

Hello everyone! I've been enjoying making more simple videos for you guys. I've had some requests for just throwing videos (non-tutorial style). Do you prefer with or without music? I couldn't make a decision on this one. I get a lot of complaints when I put in music. Anywho, enjoy this one! I will do the next one like this with other forms. :)
My bat system is made by WonderBat and was purchased on Amazon. I am not sure if they are still being made, but Dirty Girls' bat system is just as good.

Thank you for posting this kind of "chillax" throwing demo. I find the videos without music actually quite soothing because it feels as if it's me working at my wheel. Like one of the comments below, I would also like to see you trim. And if possible, would you throw something else, like bowls? Thanks again!

[@5grandbabies]

Good demo! How about ‘Let’s chill and watch you trim?”

[@KaiCeramicsOfficial]

I don't normally trim, but I have been considering making a trimming video just for that!

I personally prefer without music when looking at videos (for the most part). Unless of course I am listening to a music video, LOL. I don't know why that is - perhaps people's tastes are so varied? But having no music makes it seem almost like I am there. When there is no soundtrack, you can hear the water, the hum of wheel, the clink of tools. It is peaceful. You can hear what throwing should sound like. Thank you.

[@LARA-zj4hu]

I love music, but sometimes it steals the beautiful details of the moments, as you said, the sounds of the water, hands in clay ...

[@vikassm]

Same here. I Prefer the sounds of the craft. The sounds of Motors, blades, knives, etc seem to calm my mind. It's almost meditative 😎 So many youtubers spoil their vids with music that is somewhat painful to my ears 😂😂

[@willmohammed7442]

you probably dont give a damn but does any of you know a way to get back into an Instagram account? I was stupid lost the account password. I appreciate any tips you can give me.

[@willmohammed7442]

@Royal Makai i really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and Im trying it out now. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@everydaythrowingpots]

Hi,thank you for your demo. It is very helpful. I'm a Japanese in Tokyo. I have been making pots for fifteen years,but not pro. As you know we have a lot of these kinds of videos. But they are too professional or too suitable for beginners. I love your simple skillful videos. I also amaze the speed of turning wheel. I'm looking forward to watching it.

[@KaiCeramicsOfficial]

Thank you for watching! So glad you found my video. Thank you so much for the feedback. That's awesome that you have been making for 15 years! I have been in ceramics for 8 and hope to continue for a long time.

[@charlesgerveler4247]

Thank you so much for your videos. Watching how people work the clay and do their magic is so helpful as a beginner.

[@stefaniecolapinto]

Very chillaxing indeed...very nice 👌

[@APgeithner]

I’ve learned a lot from your videos and applying your techniques. Thank you for sharing your work 🙂

[@shivaniravi7946]

Very relaxing thanks for this video.💛

[@wilbmoore]

Always a joy to watch.

[@kennagakui4462]

Impressed by your clean approach. My wheel surface becomes much messier. Thank you for sharing this.

[@indiedee]

Very nice, thank you so much. It's always interesting to see the process

[@theceramicrepairstudio]

Enjoyed the video.🥰

[@dolly12989]

Please post more videos like these. it is actually relaxing.

[@Sailor_S]

I ordered one of your jars for my mom's Mothers day present and she loves it so much!

[@KaiCeramicsOfficial]

Thank you! I'm so glad to hear she loved it! Thank you so much for letting me know. ☺ I love hearing about where my little creations are going.

[@cameronfink7325]

Pottery is one of those things that I'd love to at least try but I don't have the money or facilities.

[@bernhardschodl7113]

Thanks for your videos. You make really nice pieces. I especially like the way you design the rim of your cups. When you ask me if you should make the videos with or without music, the answer is clear: keep making them without music. All the best from a potter from Austria

[@KaiCeramicsOfficial]

Thanks for the response and thanks for watching!

[@deias.721]

I literally fall asleep to this its so soothing😌

[@jayelle3448]

Truly enjoy it without music, one almost feels as if they're right there, the sounds are simple and soothing. 3-M award for you! _Magically_ _Mentally_ _Medicinal_

[@AdirondackRuby]

Very cool, very relaxing. Also, I just love your eyeglass tattoo. As someone who wears glasses, I find that to be extra cool.

[@Seidenblaster]

I vote no music. I like the water sounds.

[@ridgoro]

i'm impressed how you are able to throw with long fingernails. pro level!

[@paquitoperez2116]

Yep.. that's is also the first thing I saw... next time with nail varnish!!

[@blainebradley3778]

What kind of table is that? Looks neat!

[@navyblue32]

I swear the table pattern at 7:46 onwards is mesmerizing

[@NaomiALJ]

Awesome! Also, wondering, which clay are you using here?

[@KaiCeramicsOfficial]

Highwater's Helios Porcelain

[@pookiielover]

yes yes yes

[@ferre347]

Hi! I really enjoyed the video thank you! What’s the bat you’re using, I noticed your wheel doesn’t have pins!

[@AnkisCreation]

Great demo, but how much clay do you use for a mug

[@kenzielong5871]

Kai, what type of tools you are using? Or does anyone know? Specifically the wooden ones.

[@kreendurron]

What wheel is that. I really like the removable center block I've never seen that before.

[@KaiCeramicsOfficial]

That is a bat system called WonderBat. It ia not a part of the wheel itself.

[@puppylover081001]

What bat system do you use?

[@ketfrigg]

Hey Kai! What kind of clay are you using here? It's sooooo smoooooth :D

[@KaiCeramicsOfficial]

This is Highwater's Helios porcelain. One of my favorites!

[@Sourlizard312]

How do I prevent spiral cracks in the bottom of my pieces?

[@cathygray7492]

Hi Kailyn! I LOVE your work! I would love to purchase some of your fancy handled mugs…any plans to make more for sale?

[@margitniethammer8512]

The blue tool seems very good. Can you please tell me, where do you have it from. I’m from Germany and can’t it find here. Thanks a lot for the video.

[@KaiCeramicsOfficial]

Hi Margit! I have a tools video with links to all of the tools that I use. Please check it out! I am not sure if they ship to Germany, but you can try!

[@margitniethammer8512]

Thank you. Your video was helpful. I found it.

[@bruhe]

I've never seen a bat setup like that - and now me wanty. Do you use clay with a lot of grog? it looks super soft. You're centered and pulling walls and I'm still coning up and down. haha

[@toomuchsalt3775]

Great video, what wire do you use?

[@KaiCeramicsOfficial]

I use the Dirty Girls Pottery Tools 7" Ergo Max Cut Off Wire.

Please comment.

I have only ever used Brent or Shimpo. I want a Shimpo Whisper one day 🤩

[@marymacdonald3506]

How much clay are you using? Thanks

[@frostychris89]

Do you have a vid about the Batts you are using?

[@KaiCeramicsOfficial]

I don't because I don't think this particular system is made anymore. Dirty Girls has a bat insert system that is really good.

[@frostychris89]

@@KaiCeramicsOfficial haha, that is going to a hard one to Google.

I think a trimming video would be great because you are very good at showing the techniques on the video!

Can I build my own wheel at home or it is not preferable or impossible?!

[@KaiCeramicsOfficial]

I know nothing about making wheels. So, I am not the one to ask 😅

[@paquitoperez2116]

Why not try some chillout music? Anyhow, whatever you do, you will never ever please everybody. And as long as you are pleased with the results, the hell with those who are not happy. This is YOUR video.

Is your microphone strapped to the wheels motor? Just asking...
