One Trick to Help Throwing Shallow Bowls

[@mgxa_]

I'm constantly amazed by the spotless condition of the sweaters and dark clothing you always wear in your videos.

Thank you for taking 'your precious time' to teach us!

Perfect timing. I just sat down at my computer after throwing a wider bowl. I intentionally left the bottom wider as you just did. I had brought into the studio a bowl from a maker I admire and sat down and figured out, as best I could, how she made the bowl. Having something in front of me as a visual aid helped in this instance. (I throw porcelain and like the walls, rims to be thin). Love all your posts...!

[@JeLevs]

My lumps look *exactly* like the "what not to do* version, and I'm just starting to branch into bowls. A well-timed video! Thank you!

[@erikstallman256]

You are an amazing potter!!! So impressive😀 Thank you for sharing 🥣

[@TeleportsBehindYou]

I was having this exact problem with large bowls! I'll try it when I get the chance

[@TeleportsBehindYou]

Yes it worked! I made some nice large bowls this morning with no flopping over!

[@TeresaBaileypolymath]

This was a lovely demonstration of bowl stability. Thank you for it!

[@vivienstratton4280]

I am a beginner (still after a year) and struggle with the throwing process but watching this makes going on all the more worthwhile! Thank you

[@doggo6331]

Funny this comes out right after a failed attempt at a wide bowl that is part of my water fountain in progress

[@kalanphelps9498]

i really love that rim! decorative enough to catch your attention, yet perfectly understated; much like all of your work.

[@bobcalhoun3714]

As a beginner potter these tips (in your previous video, and here, too) have helped make larger bowls more successful. I will also leave a thicker bottom if I'm going to remove the pot from the bat. One tip I've seen is that you can move some of the clay back down toward the bottom on the inside if you haven't quite got that nice round shape correctly.

I've made this mistake more than I'd like to admit. I'll try the second approach the next time I'm in the workshop. 🙏

[@floriangadsby]

I still make it!

[@lottaearth]

Thanks for this. I've had some issues with bowls collapsing.

[@Alex_0Z]

nice! i always struggle with a nice curve for pasta bowls

[@jonnyblows9261]

Amazing videos, just getting into pottery and you've been an inspiration. I was wondering if you could do a video and oxidation glazes (in an electic kiln) for those of us that dont have setup that would allow for a gas kiln.

Your video inspire meeee

[@alphonsinelepitre1992]

Thank you for sharing ! So you keep your flat piece of clay for the day after ?

[@knightclan4]

Thanks

Thanks!

[@floriangadsby]

Thanks so much Stanford! What a kind gift. I so hope you found the video useful and thanks for taking your precious time to watch. 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@sv-ziska]

@@floriangadsby as a newbie potter, i find all of your videos incredibly useful!!! thank you so much for your generosity

[@sabineseidel9797]

Thank you so much!

It is possible to throw shalow bowls of narrow bases using the correct ribb. As long as euler relationship is maintained in the amplitude of the curve, all the lateral walls in their extention will be held perfectly if using the correct ribb (in nature, the intersection of trunk and branches of the trees are an example of that). Handmake ribbs with progressive curve amplitude taking advantage of Burmester templates or french curve rule.

excellent

[@areseses1773]

Wonderful ❤🎉

[@deemdoubleu]

Awesome

I have a silly question: what would happen if you simply carved a vessel out of a block of clay? I mean with a chisel or something, without turning it at all.

[@floriangadsby]

You can indeed do that! In fact, there's a technique called 'kurinuki', which is exactly what you describe.

[@LanaSims-jv2bn]

@@floriangadsby Thank you for your reply! I looked it up and it's fascinating and quite beautiful.

[@marypeterson1011]

I notice you throw the ball of clay down on the seams created by wedging instead of on its side. Does that weaken the base?

[@floriangadsby]

I've always felt that throwing with the spirals spinning in roughly the same way the clay is going to move might help - but once being coned up and down a few times and squashed into the disc shape I'm not sure how much of a difference it makes, especially with a slightly grogged stoneware like this. Issues could arise potentially with a clay more prone to disaster, like porcelain, but I think as long as it's wedged well and centred properly it'll be just fine no matter what you do.

[@prestonbliesner4929]

I would love a video about the yellow oxide slip you use, I’ve been experimenting trying to replicate it with no luck

[@floriangadsby]

I've been accumulating footage for some kind of yellow oxide video - I'll edit it into something one day! How are you firing it?

[@prestonbliesner4929]

Cone ten reduction firing. I don’t know all the details because I’ve just been taking some high school classes and my teacher hasn’t taught us much about his firing process

[@floriangadsby]

Strange! It should work in that firing - are you mixing just 100% yellow iron ochre into a slip like consistency, then brushing it on pots?

[@akfourtysevn]

went to the shop to try to buy something from you. you need to increase your prices if you're sold out like that constantly
