THanks Kevin, I started throwing as a teenager in New Hampshire but spent the summer before my senior year of High School at Jugtown Pottery in North Carolina . Thats where I fell in love with clawhammer banjo Clarence Ashley to be exact .. Happy new Year , Guy

Guy, Thanks for showing us the details. I saw your pot design in Los Gatos California Smith & Hawkins. Told the Sales people to watch you on youtube. Very Cool.

[@guywolff]

Hey Judy , Thanks .. The G wolff pots at Smith and Hawken are made by a wonderful group of potters I have been working with for years through Aid To Artizans and Potters for peace .. They are great potters and very good people .. All the best , guy

Hello, I love the torque of throwing directly on the wheel head . Its faster for me to be able to really push. I put pots on bats because they are flatter then the pine boards Ive had since 1971 . Pots of complicated form above 12 pounds I may make on bats and most pots over 25 pounds I make on bats . I use a ring of clay on the wheel for that as shown to me by the great Italian folk pottery Emanuel Rondinoni ... All the best , Guy

[@guywolff]

Hey SImon , Great to hear from you .. I hope its not as cold as we have been seeing here wherever you are today Devon or Spain . Thinking of you , Guy.

[@guywolff]

Thanks Lawton for having a look and your kind words .. All the best , guy

[@guywolff]

Thanks for the visit Peggy !! Yours Guy

[@guywolff]

Hello . i am using a block of clay that is around 7 Pounds for these pots .. The stamps are made from antique lead type from old printing presses glued onto wood .. The type is very very hard to find.. All the best for now .I love making pots as well .. 16 to 59 is a long time to love something (and it keeps getting nicer !! Yours Guy

[@felicityrich]

That was fun Thanks. Felicity

[@guywolff]

Thanks for having a look Daimira .. Yours in clay . Guy

[@guywolff]

Great to hear !! Keep it up . Careful drying them . All the best , Guy

[@guywolff]

I left the pot with the rip in because I liked the ramblings I said while throwing it .(Also the student can see what compression can do to a rip ). . I never know what is coming out of my mouth till it is said .. Thanks , Guy

[@bethpatrick5063]

Thanks for having an Oops included! I oops a lot and it feels better to know that even the best have an off pot.

[@guywolff]

Hello Hanna , Yes I left that on the clip because it helps show what is possible with compression of the clay .. . You are kind to leave the nice note .. All the best , Guy

[@guywolff]

I know are'nt they great . They are so simple . ITs a little wood and a jig saw . Two hinges and your home . Any handy friend can do it . I made them the morning I got home from Portugal .Start at 5" and make them every half inch . I made them up to 12" . All the best , Guy

@All4iTT It depends on how big the flowrpot is .. Say the wall on a 6 pound flowerpot is 7.25 inches tall.. the wall is as bit thicker then ,1/8 th inch

[@guywolff]
