after throwing now for a couple of years, coming back to your videos. you sir have a very effective no nonsense way of doing the job and doing it right ! In my apprentice opinion.

What a genuine pleasure to watch you at work! Need to say thanks to the infinite patience and talent of Tama Smith of Prairie Fire Pottery when we were neighbors, I've successfully thrown 4 cylinders on a kick wheel... only 996 more to go :-) before I can attempt an actual structure. I'm checking now for more of your videos!

Hi Sandra, I have to admit to never uploading one. I guess I gave up putting up videos, because there are so many on KZbin. When I do spouts I make sure the spout is quite soft when it goes on. This makes it very easy to smooth into the body of the teapot. Best wishes. Lee

Why the outside gallery flip to inside, instead of creating the inside gallery directly?
@leecartledge5 жыл бұрын
It enables you to get your hand inside the pot without catching the gallery and then when you flip it over it gives a nice narrow diameter. I first saw Ray Finch demonstrating the technique years ago.

Shouldn’t the spout be tapered so the liquid moves in one direction? Not perfectly cylindrical for if it is, your water, tea, Cream etc, will just come out in any direction around the spout.

@lasusanar8 жыл бұрын
+lee cartledge It will be better to just leave the camera hook to a tripod, and leave the focus on your hands and what you are modeling on the wheel, so in that way is easier for the viewers to appreciate more the technique. Zooming in and out can be challenging, mostly if the camera has an automatic focus system. Thanks again for the video, the information is awesome!
