#pottery #ceramic #art
this video walks plain the ins-and-outs of how to chatter your pottery.
I know rental if you have been requesting this video for quite some time and seen as we are going through the intermediate playlist at the moment I figured I would finally drop this one. soon enough I'm also going to order a set of chattering tools and show you how those work as well.

Now I know how to trim better. I was chattering from the start and thought I was just bad. Now I know it was Chatter. Thanks Donte.

[@browncowmeowchow6445]

I started driving on a pothole ridden island dirt road. I'm good my friend.

[@nancyhartshorne6491]

I would call the sound a .... Wait for it...a...chatter. 😁

[@cjsz6854]

The chattering tool does make it easier to chatter. I didn’t know about angling the tool. Excellent instructions as always! Thank you!

[@kristinemonaco6501]

Thanks so much for this instruction! I just purchased the trimming tool you're using and I love it. I now know a different way to add texture! Thanks so much for keeping your videos going during this time!

[@stickermigtigger]

I use a short piece of bent up hacksaw blade. I bend the contact edge section to the chatter angle and the rest of the blade so I can comfortably hold the tool in a natural hand position and just let 'er bounce.

[@Compastian]

What a great video! I've mistakenly chattered on the inside of bowls, calling for more water, but I never imagined it could be so beautiful on the outside. Thank you for sharing all of your knowledge.

[@ejhstagvideos6231]

I have done this accidentally (and not well) when my pots got a little too hard to trim well. Now, I shall try to do it purposefully and when it is easier to manipulate the clay!

[@erinwithryder]

Thank you for explaining chattering in details!

[@doreenwood3508]

You are so helpful , love your videos!

[@allatchernycheva9170]

Cool advises, thank you. Will try it soon.

[@catharinekennedy3383]

You are a very skilled teacher, even if you are seriously snarky. Nice job! Stay well

[@10001tp]

Love your potter tips and the way you say it 😉

[@MultimediaCowboy]

Cut thin metal strap from some shipping crates into seven inch lengths with tin shears. Hammer an inch of the tip over on a vice to just past a 90 degree angle. Hit the tip with a file. Give the length of the strip a slight arch. Adjust the angle and arch until you get the desired bounce.

[@debraheimbuch7943]

Thank you! Easy to understand!!

[@marygleason1189]

Very informative tutorial!

[@connecticutaggie]

Spring steel makes a great chattering tool. A great source for that is a hack saw blade. Go find that hack saw blade you threw away and now you have a great new chattering tool. You don't have a hack saw - shame on you, go to Harbor Freight right now and by a pair of blades for $2 and now you'll have a chattering tool AND a hack saw blade! This means you too Dante. Once you chatter with spring steel, you will never be the same. I know you love your Mudtools Do All; but, spring steel is better for chattering.

[@barbarac4138]

Nice job!

[@s.w.779]

You explain it well Ty👍

[@petersheremeta4144]

I use a tool you didn't mention; I use the tip of my right hand middle finger. It gives a softer pattern than the harsher mechanical pattern from a metal tool, and, I can also make a wave like pattern.

[@denisenoble4010]

Thanks for the tip, can't wait to try it x

[@Arweqat_alfan]

Thank you 👌👍

[@jaxeaton939]

So what is the standard of craftman for thin walls? How thin is to thin and why or what’s a good thickness that’s worth being sold and bought

[@sinandchips]

Potter tip: Use underglaze on the chattered bisqueware and apply it on the wheel. Hsin Chuen-Lin gang anywhere??

[@EarthNationCeramics]

We gone do that in a while too :)

[@sinandchips]

Yee!

[@michellemccurdy3062]

Thx!

[@pbathala]

Do you have any recommendations of pottery books that cover wheel throwing/glazing/understanding clay etc?

[@michellestratman8893]

Ive seen people chatter then push out the clay more. Is that really chattering? do you need special clay for that? Thanks! You teach very well.

[@gailbancer1571]

Is your bowl leather soft or hard?

[@peterbaudendistel4671]

...I use a dinner spoon...lol

[@deborarinehart2120]

If you use the lowest grip Like you 'd use to trim a plate, on the Giffen Grip, it works well. Nothing gets in the way. Sorry Dante just sayin'. Thanks for the video and stay healthy!

[@EarthNationCeramics]

Naw you good :) Wait... So there is another version of the giffin grip? Is that one also $200?

[@CuSunCreations]

@@EarthNationCeramics Standard equipment. Around 6:20 on this video.kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5izcqVna8iafbM they even make shorter ones.

[@deborarinehart2120]

@@EarthNationCeramics No mine is about 15yrs old those grips came with it. Not sure when they came out at the time it was $120 and a gift so cannot complain. I recently found additional grips for it (low ones also) that are adjustable for irregular shaped rims they are green I think they call them Flex Sliders. So those should work too. I can tell you they are slightly shorter than the Giffin Grip BSTK10 @ Big Ceramic Store.com. Those are the newer replacement ones but taller. See kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXfGXoqoodGefsk - this is the model I have grips are black and have pads glued on not slipped on like the blue ones mentioned above ( thank you, Jeffery, this sent me looking for info). I believe the older ones are slightly lower. When I teach, my students must learn to trim with clay coils before I let them try the Giffen Grip. That cheat must be earned thru practice with coils. Once they've got that down pat then Giffen Grip. I hope this helps! Have a great weekend! ;-)

[@lizwest1939]

how dry should your pot be

[@smitavinchurkar7623]

Can this be done without a wheel. I don't have a wheel

[@abiblabla]

I absolutely LOVE your videos! You are really an amazing teacher, thank you so much!

[@caroleaton8237]

Really Dante??? Pseudo farting sounds. Really? 😂 LOL! Thanks for the helpful advice and tips. How dry to you recommend the clay to be? I hope you’re staying safe and healthy.

[@KarryCeramics]

Oh thanks a lot 😊 know I really saw ....slow down it’s right way to showing us what happens with tools! 😏😎🤓🧐👌

[@osten_petersson]

now i want to try that with a fork

[@gr3y.613]

Definitely 1st

[@josephcampbell2413]

Clay cut-y noise

[@Mamii363]

It sounds kind of like a card (or even the sole of a shoe) bouncing off of bicycle spokes.

[@bigpapa5467]

How do u trim without Gif and grip

[@EarthNationCeramics]

Most of us trim without a giffin grip..... We just.... Use clay and center the piece. I made a video on how to trim in the beginner section, here. kzbin.info/www/bejne/npnXlYyLgrmBpsU

[@bigpapa5467]

Earth Nation Ceramics oh yea I was wondering if their was a way you can trim without putting the clay on the bottom, so u can chatter the top the rim of the piece.

[@babwau5327]

@@bigpapa5467 you can just wet the center of your wheel head slightly. That way your piece will be suctioned onto the wheel. Be careful tho because I won't hold as well as with other techniques

[@beekeeper8474]

As a machinist chattering is something we do anything to avoid

[@nancycampbell6800]

Screeching raspberry.

[@denisenoble4010]

I think it sounds a bit like someone using a didgeridoo. Thanks for the heads up on this how to make a chattering pattern

[@pennyfitzgerald9883]

How do you clean up the chattering so there are no sharp places before glazing? Thanks!

[@EarthNationCeramics]

Once you're clay completely dries the little bits will usually become brittle enough to just wipe them off with a brush or sponge. I usually just brush them off with a hard brush before I put them in the kiln :)

[@smitavinchurkar7623]

I don't see this mud tool in India

[@rikithareddy81]

Try claystation

[@rosemartin5137]

1st

[@AES97]

Looks like stretch marks almost.

[@mabob6212]

gawd, no wonder people never get to do chattering ...listening to u spouting off about it for 13.4 mins. what uv said can be much better explained in 5 mins flat
