intermediate lesson on bowls (making a better functional bowl)

[@patspotpage]

Thanks for sharing these tips. Even for more experienced potters it helps to go back to basics sometimes. And I love the humor salted all over your videos!

[@debbiesmith297]

This is the best teaching of a bowl EVER! Thank you!

[@scottperkins7375]

I really appreciate these simple and super informative videos. I share them with my students all the time and they always rave about them. Thanks Donte

I like the way this was filmed. Very relaxing warm video and nice bowl!

[@EarthNationCeramics]

I'm happy someone noticed the warmth

[@markhousel2712]

thank you. I have learned so much from your videos! Any chance on a few vase demos like this? Intermediate vases tips and tricks?

[@JennaDanelle]

Great video as always, all excellent points. I am still working on bowls and different forms and it was funny because as you were making each point it was like watching the checklist of making a bowl I go through in my head, come to life. Lol.

You’re one of the best potters…I enjoy watching your vids bcuz you’re so natural with your expertise and you make me laugh with your beautiful spirit…

Thanks for these tips, especially about opening the rim up just a bit- most of my bowls are impossible to stack & now I have a plan for making them more user friendly!

[@debbiesmith297]

Great video!!!!!!🎉

Thank you for the close up of how to use the metal rib! Very helpful!

[@triciac1019]

I have been focusing on bowls lately and like your idea of tipping the rim outward a bit for stacking. That will really help me. Also, I like the idea of having the shape of the bowl going and not just focusing on creating cylinder first. Thank you!

Hi thank you for your awesome videos I'm a beginner so I'm learning alot What kind of clay are u using

[@ewiley2351]

Thanks 😅

[@chrzzzzz]

cheers bro. Do you have an advanced series planned?

[@EarthNationCeramics]

I have a few, the issue is at my advanced ideals are very personal to the individual. I don't want to put down a set of rules or principles that I consider advanced than expect everyone to copy them because by that level you should have figured out your own art style. My goal is to help you improve the basics of the advanced, not exactly to tell you what is or is not advanced.

[@chrzzzzz]

@@EarthNationCeramics I think you can definitely frame them as "here's a more complicated technique/design consideration that I do for XY reason, here's how I got to that point" Your journey to reach an opinion would be interesting to hear.

You were trying to be professional? 🤣 I thought you were just trying to be quiet so you didn't wake the baby 😂. Apparently I rant level Dante has desensitized me to normal Dante.
