[@desmond9168]

Beautifully explained! Can’t wait to try your ‘countdowns’! Like the word ‘stagger’ too!? Paints a great picture of what needs to be done! Thanks.

[@povpottery3648]

Thank you!

[@concernedcitizen8968]

I have scoured the internet and no one can explain this as you have. Thank you so very much!

[@povpottery3648]

Great to hear! Happy throwing!

[@bobbyb3543]

[@povpottery3648]

Aww thank you that is so sweet of you to say!

[@themima5]

Wow. Akes sense to me now. Ty

[@rosehogeweide2702]

Yes! Thank you for explaining this so simply. I had never heard of the 3-10-3 rule, and now I realise I've been pulling too fast! I am excited to get in the studio tomorrow to try this out. Much appreciate it.

[@povpottery3648]

Awesome, thank you for the positive feedback!

[@linn6980]

6 years gives me hope!

[@povpottery3648]

I heard a great quote, “people over estimate what they can do in one year, and underestimate what they can do in 10.” I try to remember that when learning new skills!

[@loosepenhenny]

This is really helpful. The wave analogy especially, as I’ve been pulling off clay while pulling up. Thank you!!

[@povpottery3648]

Right on, and thanks for the feedback! Happy potting!

[@whiteraven1067]

One of the best cylinder explanations

[@povpottery3648]

Glad you think so! Thank you!

[@rellatower8650]

Thanks for this lesson. Never knew how I got the rings of clay. I'm trying to pull taller and this should help.

Awesome! Let me know if this helps!

[@Nellian]

[@povpottery3648]

Right on, Heidi! Good luck!

[@lisataylor1305]

Thank you so much! I've been trying to perfect pulling and had these exact problems and you've answered them so I'm going to put this into practice. You said it took you 6 years to perfect, that makes me feel a little better so now perfect practice makes perfect. Thanks from the UK

Thanks for explaining why the clay comes off. I didn't realize it was not normal.

[@povpottery3648]

Right on, you are most welcome! Thank you for the feedback!

[@liaregia13]

I am a beginner and pulling is challenging, Thank you for this video now I know why I always kept pulling clay instead of getting taller haha thank you so much you explained very well.

[@povpottery3648]

Glad it was helpful!

[@SuesOriginals]

Nice video, Mr. Huang. I can use that with my students. Happy mud pie making and last one out turn out the lights. 😏

[@ang1418]

Best description of clarifying and correcting the pull when the top ring falls off.

Uuuhhh I am very happy I found this hidden gem of a video.

[@povpottery3648]

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@zarqaji8987]

Wow, this was very VERY helpful, thank you! Just had what I consider my first decent independent pull and had the ring come off and had no idea what happened. Now i know! I'd love a video on how to know when to stop bowling a belly. (I get scared I'm bowling it out too much and stop too soon I think) Also how to get a clean shoulder. Great videos from a great teacher, ftw. Thanks!

[@povpottery3648]

Thank you very much, I appreciate the feedback and encouragement! You got this!

[@knightclan4]

Yep That really helps!

[@jesswithoutjob]

This video is so helpful, thank you! Quick question, are you pulling with your hands positioned around 5 o’clock?

[@povpottery3648]

Yes, I am around 5o clock on my pulls.

[@fortcolors9887]

Mr. Huang why are you posting a video at 4am?
