collaring and choking for beginners

[@madison_mcelroy]

OOOO I have always needed an explanation regarding twisting/wiggles inside when I'm trying to choke and/or collar and TADA here it is.

[@thewarriorofboros]

this is not at all what Mistress thought it was but cool!

[@Unreligion]

“Your moms fav” is absolutely diabolical 😭

[@annewatkis5824]

I love the waist in the pot. Thank you soooo much xxx

[@giadasoravia911]

Found the video on Tumblr Ahah getting famous there

[@SeungBerryBlox]

Seen the title and immediately went to the comments

[@nathanwaterhouse8098]

Dude, you are so helpful, and know exactly what to say for me to understand. I immediately saw a difference in my work following your video.

[@themoodyonejb]

Thank you. I can watch your videos all day! I enjoy the calmness and the slight innuendos 😂 and learn something at the same time!

[@feliciamorris4965]

So I've been doing ceramics at University for about 3 years now, and you just taught me something new with the 6-point choke. Thanks man

[@triciac1019]

I am making a lot of closed lidded jars for gifts. I am doing a lot of collaring in, and this video should save me some time and improve my work. I learned the six point and full choke incorrectly. I rewatched those two parts your demonstrated several times. I love all your explanations about what causes twisting and how to fix it. I learned so much. Thank you!

[@caroleaton8237]

Excellent demo. I learn so much from watching your videos. You're a wonderful teacher.

[@homebrewer7]

Thank you for your teaching. I am 85 and still producing mostly mugs. 16 yrs I still need to return to basics. I am still considered an advanced student.

[@wrecker717]

You sir are a legend

[@kplays_6000]

Damn I wasn't expecting pottery

[@ianjames6320]

Hey there omg it worked it worked it worked great, so much quicker, made biggest ever bell pot and no ripples in the clay, used 2 kilos of clay my biggest ever pull . Just angling my hand like you said and the six point collaring made all the difference.

[@EarthNationCeramics]

;) I try real hard not to lie to you guys and to just speak from experience.

[@roundabouting1]

I mean, if I wasn't already subscribed, the video title would definitely make me re-think watching. Who am I kidding? I would still click 😂😂😂😂

[@davidhattenburg9011]

I have always like your videos , You take the time to show how things are done in such great detail, not just rambling on to show us that you can make a piece, I just started in 08' and you were /are my inspiration, thanks for the great stuff

[@ritalayman9396]

You are so funny 😂. But you are helping me so much. Ty

[@vivsnotthere]

lol love the video and the title

[@amandaneilson8561]

Awesome video. I had my first try at collaring/choking tonight in class with limited success. I’ll try your tips out when I practice tomorrow.

[@homebrewer7]

Yes. The 6 point choke is great.

[@annewatkis5824]

Love your tutorial. I wish I could do those different ‘bars’ on your pot.

[@theshamelesssociety7602]

Her: like being choked. Donte: I'm a potter. Her: and? Donte: I know how to choke four different ways. Her: collar me now!

[@andreaeyzaguirre6208]

Absolutely THE BEST TEACHER!!!!

[@ianjames6320]

Very useful I'm going to watch this again and again and again. I'm from Stoke and I've been struggling to make bottle kiln shaped vases , I think this will help a lot.

[@EarthNationCeramics]

If you go to the intermediate playlist in my channel we're actually talking about making bottles right now.

[@ianjames6320]

@@EarthNationCeramics cheers mate bank holiday here in England so got the kiln on and in the shed trimming pots , just in for a cup of tea , watch your vids then back out.

[@jenniferbrowne6803]

I really enjoy your explanations. This is a very informative piece! Thank you.

[@hollygauthier5691]

Great explanation!! I’d only head of the 6 point and choke. Never knew the whys or wherefores.

[@alyssamarescalco1431]

You deserve more subscribers you have legit helped me so much!

[@EarthNationCeramics]

Thanks. I personally like the amount of scribers I have and the little community I have. Small but strong. But it doesn't hurt for people to share my videos

[@thesloppypotter5060]

Damn, Dante. You’ve taught me everything I know...

[@lisalawn1111]

ohhhh yes, needed this-- Thanks!!!

[@SilverDOMO192837]

this was not at all what I was looking for

[@EarthNationCeramics]

;)

[@JonasGuy5802]

I’m kinda disappointed it’s pottery, but also it somehow inspired me to get into pottery

[@eireneeukharistychandradin6502]

Your videos are very helpful and fun to watch! Thankyou so much! 💖💖

[@thefoxsaysmeow]

You are easily my favorite pottery person on YT. Your explanations & demos are so clear and easy to understand for a noob like me, you crack me up, and you've already helped me quite a bit in the first month of my first pottery class ever--yesterday I managed to throw a decent cylinder thanks to your video on that. Finally decided to leave a comment after noticing your shirt in this vid because it's become obvious to me that you're a Mega Man (and retro gaming in general) junkie like me...that figure on the shelf above your kiln was the first giveaway. (Was legit confused for a second, I thought YT's algorithms were playing some trick on me when I saw a thumbnail of a kiln + MM.) You ever think about dressing up your kiln as Heat Man?! 😂 I'm a Mega Man speedrunner (not a great one, mind you...but still better than I am at pottery presently lol). By the end of my current class session (3 more weeks to go), you know I intend to have an E-tank made! From one Blue Bomber fan to another, thank you so much for your content, it's truly appreciated.

[@dawnsimpson4804]

Awesome 👌 🆒️ 👏 thank you!

[@ackamazing]

Love these videos

[@varinakosovich1283]

Thanks for the tips Donte! I've been rockin' gourd vases lately. It's quickly become my favorite shape to throw. :)

[@cjsz6854]

This is a ton of information. Thanks for getting into the details. I’m saving this video for review. I can’t wait to apply what you taught here.

[@harrylane4]

my partner asked me to start doing this but I don’t know how pottery is going to help in the bedroom

[@shirleycirio6897]

Really a helpful and informative video. Thank you.

[@marciasilviajohnson6461]

It will be nice if you demonstrate how to throw the end piece. Thanks 🤗

[@jaxeaton939]

I’m into that;)

[@nancyhartshorne6491]

This is so helpful as I have lots of problems with twisting and now I know why! Plus, you said doodoo. 😉

[@melitinibaltatzi]

Hi guys, where can I find the thin white sponge that he has on this video? Does anyone know? Thanks

[@EarthNationCeramics]

It's a sponge sold by mud tools corp.

[@melitinibaltatzi]

@@EarthNationCeramics Thanks you very much! I really love your videos, congratulations.:)

[@beckyirvin4935]

Thank you!! That was an excellent presentation! Many of my personal questions answered!!😉 you dirty potter you!!!

[@taramcginty7326]

Thanks Dante 😀

[@legitusername-zl7to]

0:03 that reminds me of the body of the people who expected something else from this video

[@sinandchips]

Clay: Hey... hey... collar me... choke me...

[@micburnah]

Excellent!

[@mervatameen646]

Very helpful and informative! Thanks a lot!

[@TheOutdoordad]

@Earth Nation Ceramics add this video to the Beginner's playlist pls

[@annewatkis5824]

Hello, I love the ings on your pot. How do you do that? Thanks lovely x

[@annewatkis5824]

Rings!

[@sairamalik7332]

Embrace the wiggle! Love it.

[@katkempf5072]

Thank you, this was a fantastic tutorial!

[@lesleypember2700]

Can you use daz air dry clay for this.

[@fedahassan4787]

ارجو ان تعلمنا کیف ترفح هاذا الطين للفخار

[@sharonbryant2547]

Donte, can you talk about your wheel setup sometime. I noticed the rather large sponge on your left between your wheel and your water. Is your table a custom made piece?

[@meganb4646]

At the end of today's KZbin LiveCast he talks about it a bit. Ill see if I can find the link... here it is! kzbin.info/www/bejne/bprNqHl7prF7gq8

[@MsHburnett]

Thx just what I needed to know

[@mariancary7851]

What is your favorite clay to use on the wheel? B mix ok?

[@EarthNationCeramics]

B mix is a very standard clay that most people who are beginners use. There's a grog and a no grog version of B mix but I personally prefer darker clays. if you're asking because you might be starting out and you want to know which one I would suggest I would suggest the beam mix with grog as the no grog is a little bit closer to porcelain and porcelain takes a little bit to get used to

[@Ryan6.022]

I don't think this is very "advertiser friendly".

[@shelley_park]

One day, I will throw without a splash pan like you. Until then #muddypants

[@homebrewer7]

Lol

[@homebrewer7]

Muddy pants lol

[@allisonperna5862]

"We gained a whole inch by only choking one time!" nice.

[@vtecarmo]

I have to confess I misunderstood what this tutorial would be about.

[@Claire-xb3vw]

some jokes just write themselves

[@renren4m802]

Safe words not included in this tutorial 😜

[@theshamelesssociety7602]

I love this kinda click baitish
