How to make the TWISTED mug on the wheel!

This video we are on the potters wheel and we throw some of these really cool twisted mugs/cups out of clay. This has quickly become one of my favorite designs and I have them as a reward on my kickstarter page!

“Where’d my sponge go? ....I just had it with me.” Me everyday of my life with every item around me 😂

[@marybethpair8928]

Jon you need to buy a bulk pak of sponges - Amazon has them 20 for 9.99. The 3 inch yellow ones. The fancy ones I lose so I stash the yellow ones all over the place. LOVE the new mugs - your energy is contagious!

[@terryfarrell3067]

Yes to the twist, easier for a person with weak or shakey hands to hold, that extra ridge gives your fingers something to grip.

[@hamdemon8511]

A black and green twist mug would be lovecraftian. Filled with existential horror and coffee that should not be!

[@iLitAfuseiCantStop]

Id have called the design "Mountains To Move" because they look like mountains to me. With light, snow or aurora borealis breaking over them. Beautiful work as always Jon!! 🏔❤

[@sharonbryant2547]

What a beautiful scene at the end. Love the snow. Twisted mugs really show off the glaze! Sweet Just cold here in Texas. Frozen cactus and no snow. Bummer

[@Angels-3xist]

Love it. Should get into more detail about the glazing and possibly about the handles. It's a fun design. I would totally buy one of those. Always wonder where people like this come from. Personable, photogenic, charismatic and informative. Knows how to do his job in all kinds of ways and how to make a good video. That's some special sauce.

[@carinebelloclamanufactured9674]

A thumb up is not enough, I have to say I love your videos and your energy. Thank you to share it! Edit: I've seen that you send your pots internationally, so I decided to participate to your kickstarter project too! One large cup will be for me! And it makes me so happy!

[@shirleycirio6897]

Your best video ever!! :))) SO YOU! Skills, humor, informative, humor, family, humor, SKUTT, humor, kickstarter, humor, so full of N R G! I talked about you in my ceramics class today. :) ...... Are you going to miss being able to run upstairs for fresh coffee?

[@Jonthepotter]

I might miss it!

[@City0FDreams]

I'm a novice and am now determined to get this shape. Almost had it yesterday but then went in again and messed up the cleaned up lip and couldn't get it back. But now it's me vs. the twisted mug.

[@denisenoble4010]

Love the shape and the glaze is beautiful

[@amyponce1103]

I lose track of my tools aaaaalllll the time. I love your sound effects, and your editing on these videos is so smart.

[@82prairiegirl]

Thank you! I’d been trying a few times with limited success, now I’m going to try again. The list sponge made me laugh as I am notorious for losing everything in the studio ( even though I’m super organized in other parts of life, lol)

[@juanitacaovilla536]

Can't wait to try this mug style on my next class.

[@amyheadrick5083]

Just started wheel throwing classes and stumbled upon your videos. I love your designs and personality you put into the videos!

[@hardwareful]

thought you made them with a mold. Wow, hand-drawn! Neato.

[@maryaldridge5618]

That beginning section of you holding the mug reminded me a lot of Bobby Duke Arts, which I LOVE

[@Jonthepotter]

Love @bobbydukearts!

[@catladylife]

Congratulations on your Kickstarter. I just purchased one of your spiral cups.

[@Jonthepotter]

Thanks!

[@blundrpluss]

This music is so chill. I love it!

[@lesleytruett8048]

great editing!

[@chloehinds2014]

You're so good at what you do!! I love watching your videos :)

[@ClownWhisper]

Love these mugs the most! Perfection

[@littlesammyf7380]

Wow you guys have a lot of snow still, we had a false spring last week and it was 20c! Can’t wait for my spiral mug, great video 😁

[@phillbarnes]

Hi Jon Those mugs look awesome. Do you wire them off the bat and if so how long before you do so, or, do they pop off by themselves? Guys like you have really helped me fast track my pottery skills and I thank you to the bottom of my heart. Looking forward to more vids on your new studio. Cheers mate

[@lynnost1959]

How do you finish the bottoms? Do you trim them?

[@peggymcthompson261]

Love your sound effects 😀💜

[@raihanaakternowshin1796]

Wow 😍 great👍 Thanks for making enjoyable and helpful videos..☺👌😊

[@deborarinehart2120]

I really like the twisted mugs. Beautiful colors too! What is your projected finish time for your new studio? Keep doing what you're doing !!!

[@Jonthepotter]

Hopefully 6 to 8 weeks!

[@dustinthebrain]

Awesome video ! May I ask what rib you are using to pull ?

[@lesselavie7675]

Love the swirls!

[@SlapStuffTogether]

So pumped for your kickstarter :) I snagged a mug from there too. Thanks for sharing how you make them! I'm now excited to try this technique too.

[@hoainhu21]

Love it! I've learned so much from you!

[@GambolingwithMonique]

Thank you Jon!

[@mrohmiller1098]

Very cool! 😎❤️

[@katekaniff5987]

Twisted Mister 😂🤘🏻

[@abigailsnyder781]

Where you get your wheel

[@alexandralaske9415]

thanks for sharing

[@patwie57]

These are wonderful....does that wooden tool have a name, brand?

[@theslenderchick1797]

Hey Jon, do you think you can do this with a bowl?

[@Taylor-wt9zv]

8:02 Thank you lol

[@ataliemitchell3606]

Awesome! I’m gonna try it! Thanks I really wanted to see this.

[@toddwinchester7516]

I think those are very cool, Have you tried it the other way where you two figures inside and the stick push in from the outside? That may look cool or bad...

[@Jonthepotter]

YEs I have tried that, it works but looks a little different!

[@simoner.6760]

🖒Super😊

[@arunragoonath2315]

Hey don't get me wrong your mugs are beautful but What about the cleaning of the inside of the mug

[@robertcole1098]

Nice! I definitely will be trying to throw these. Are your new batts Masonite? Cheers Bob 🇬🇧

[@jenellrichards5980]

I noticed those too, did you make them or purchase?

[@graycephelps3436]

Hi awesome mugs!! What is the clay body you are using here?

[@jeffersonarchibald4437]

Why do you wet your bat. On the wheel itself, if wet, the clay won’t stick as well. Thanks

[@chrisdawson3859]

I was taught to use a dry bat. But the more potters I watch the more I realize that they often dampen the bat so the clay will stick better. It was news to me!!!

[@snugglebuns6969]

Hey hon! GREAT VIDEO! Can u use ur “twisted” method w bowls?

[@Jonthepotter]

Sure!

[@marissaandersen5572]

What cone of clay do you use?

[@jonastallmadge5584]

I can’t wait to do this tomorrow

[@MayaRivka]

Just love you!’

[@patriciadelfinagonzalez1330]

Que HERMOSO VÍDEO, COMO ME GUSTARÍA QUE FUERA, PASO A PASO,EN ESPAÑOL,!!!

[@tarzantarzan4309]

You are good Last seen very beautiful

[@owenstarwell905]

Hi Jon i live in waconia to your wife is my art teacher

[@AmyWick62]

Do you ship to Canada?

[@sharonnelt]

Yep he does

[@Jonthepotter]

Yes!

[@assasin101011]

you're like peter mckinnon that is expert in pottery 😁.. ill sub to u sir

[@sparky122sparks]

Peter McKinnen of pottery?

[@CrOsS1693]

Is it possible to achieve the design without the mug spinning?

[@Jonthepotter]

Not sure, it probably is possible! I have not tried!

[@CrOsS1693]

Jonthepotter thanks for your honesty. At first glance it just seems like it might be more difficult to do while spinning, as you have to make sure you're avoiding the previous divots, but I could see it being difficult to achieve the same spin without the motion sort of allowing you to glide the....stick(?)....upward.

[@crookedstraightpotterywood7379]

I will now only refer to "Glazes" as cemical water.

[@debzfiedler6100]

So excited you have added the Twisted Mug to your Kickstarter. I have been planning to join up, but was really wishing I could get one of those!!! Reminds me of one of my favorite songs from Joni Mitchell's Court and Spark album, "Twisted." (Yes, I'm old...but hey, it's a GREAT tune!) Anyway, I am appreciating your Toobs soooooo much! Your energy is inspiring (wish I could borrow a couple tablespoons full), and I have learned a bunch of stuff. Signing up for my second 3 session pottery class. LOVING IT!!!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5rWiqpmmtWJlbM

[@hangtru0812]

😯😯😯

[@billlamm4688]

Your music choice is fine but some audio levels are not good for headphones 😲

[@Jonthepotter]

I'll keep that in mind, thanks!

[@Loud3n]

I hate the sound bottoms of mugs make on other mugs and surfaces its like nails on a board

[@Dally_Sparkles]

ha ha i just worked out why you are always so crazy.. coffee..

[@artisticpoetry]

First to comment. Cool
