So glad you're doing both angles! I've been watching your hands in the previous videos to see how you use your left hand doing the claw pull. Now I can see it much better. I'm learning!! Matthew, your videos are wonderful! Thank you!

[@MatthewKellyPottery]

I’m very glad it helped and I’ll be doing more like it soon.

[@stephaniebart-horvath1382]

I’ve watched you make this vase at least three times. You make it look so effortless! Your work is beautiful.

[@ReapWhatYouSeauxLeJeune]

I absolutely loved the view from 2 cameras!! Awesome job!!!

[@janetjohnson998]

Love the two angles. As usual, a pleasure to watch you throw.

[@patriciafurr4771]

Great video. The addition of how much clay you used, measurements, advice on water and dual view was awesome! Yes More video's!

[@debbiewilsomn4314]

You are an amazing potter and teacher. I rewatch your videos constantly and always learn or refresh my memory. Thank you.

[@shirleypaganuzzi6142]

Please continue doing these videos with both angles, they’re super helpful! By the way, thanks to you I have become a better potter! Thank you

[@SallyRoperPottery]

Another great video Matt. Two angles is fabulous, and yes, gives us more insight as to your technique. Giving the measurements also adds to what you are making. With close up camera work, we the viewers don’t get a true perspective on size. I have missed your videos but understand that time away is necessary. I have taken a two month break from my studio - Olympics, family celebration of a Gold Medal performance from my daughter, COVID, and Long COVID which has robbed me of motivation. It is coming back slowly, thank goodness. Be well, keep making great pots and videos.

[@MatthewKellyPottery]

Thanks so much for the feedback. Congrats to your daughter!! I sure hope your energy and motivation returns 100%.

[@erinrcross]

yeah yeah the two angles are good. It was just so refreshing to see you again. hope your time healing and with family was great. glad you finally went and got something (business expense, or not) you were working for that is always a good feeling.

[@patspotpage]

The dual angle is great! It makes it easier to see what you are doing, both outside and inside. Thank you!

[@ksnickles2230]

Love the two camera angles! Love your work! Thank you for sharing your expertise with us!

[@triciac1019]

I am still a beginner, kind of. I threw pottery for three years in high school and haven't worked on any for 46 years. I have taken two classes and had open studio time. I have missed it and am finally back into it. This video sure helped me realize why something I was throwing collapsed (the clay abssorbed too much water). I will watch this several more times to absorb more information. Love the two angles of cameras. It helped so much!

[@jda8409]

I love the details you express in making your work. alot of times its so automatic, you dont even think about saying what needs to be done to accomplish what you are trying achieve. Seeing both angles is really great step in seeing what you are doing. Thank you ! :-)

[@allenfitz1]

The two angle video is great. Thank for the lessons. Now I have something to aspire too.

[@jillbenson4189]

This was so helpful to watch with both angles. Thank you so much for sharing. You created both the bowl and vase with so little clay. I will try using less. I end up with things being too heavy. Your gentle, slow and calm manner is so helpful to learn these techniques. 👍❤

[@MatthewKellyPottery]

Thanks for the feedback. I’ve spent years learning to be calm and clean while throwing. It never helps to be in a hurry.

[@louannsmith9212]

Love both cameras at once

[@kimoconnor7394]

Thank you for the video. I really like the overhead angle. It is a great shot to see from the perspective a potter has when making forms. Given that is how we see things being made it is great to see a video of that too. Thanks again!

[@grammiegilliam4889]

Yes, please do the dual angle. It helps so much.

[@aaronwolf9699]

Excellent work as usual, Matthew, thank you. While not necessary, the split screen was enjoyable; if it's not a hassle, I'd keep it up.

[@MatthewKellyPottery]

Thanks. Not really a hassle now. I definitely plan to make more like it

[@rbu500]

I like the two view format very much.

[@pamhyde1857]

Really appreciated the video. You are a master. Two cameras is really helpful!

[@tombones847]

So much easier to see things like the crimps on the rim this way. Enjoyed it, thanks!

[@janclarek7280]

Love the double camera setup! It’s so helpful in seeing how a throw really goes. Well done!

[@janlewis9099]

Even better with the two angles. Great having an equal split makes it easier to see all the detail. Looking forward to the next video.

[@YvonneCeramics]

The two angles here are very helpful. Can see exactly what you are doing on the inside.

[@roxysue8784]

Loved it absolutely loved this video. Before i was even Done watching it I forwarded it to three people! Having the two angles is very helpful, and you are an amazing instructor with all the details you add. I am planning on watching the reverse throwing video, that’s an interesting concept one I never knew about. Thanks Matthew!

[@MatthewKellyPottery]

Thanks so much for sharing the video with others!

[@nancybender390]

Love the 2 angles. Great video.

[@nikiaellis7295]

2 angles really helps to see what your hands are doing

[@curlytailstudio9533]

I'm sure this format is a lot of work, but wow. I love to hear your thought process as you work.

[@MatthewKellyPottery]

Surprisingly it wasn’t that much extra work. Thanks for the feedback

[@jackiemorrison6024]

2 angles was great for me, I'm less then a year wheelthrowing... thanks Matthew!!

[@AliveguyPottery]

Next level for sure. Having dual cameras definitely helps you see hand positions and their intentions. In conjunction with your outstanding clay and teaching skills this is a home run. Was wondering what you would be doing to follow up your “inside the pot” video from last year 😀. Well done You are settling the bar higher and we appreciate that 😀😀

[@MatthewKellyPottery]

You’re very welcome! I’m not sure this competes with the inside the pot video but I’m trying. Haha

[@shellydumont9251]

Thank you so much for going with two angles. It is really helpful!

[@juliestrater439]

Excellent, excellent video!! LOVE the dual cameras; a game changer! Love that you mentioned how much clay and you showed the measurements of the pots. I'm not a beginner, but not yet an intermediate thrower, either. Your wheel seemed to be spinning pretty fast; I'm sure because you're a master potter. I've been taught to slow down that wheel the more pulls, and when beginning to alter a pot. I look forward to more of your videos with the dual cameras. Thank you Matthew.

[@buckgreen4598]

WELL DONE!! LOVE THE DOUBLE CAMERA VIEWS....

[@malissabadal-yang523]

Great video the two angles are better

[@suzannebracker4049]

Great great demo! Measurements were a real bonus.Thanks!

[@danhebert1592]

Love the dual view. Master Hsin-Chuen has done this too for sometime. Thanks for the new view!

[@azrakg7]

Yay Matt, you got the double camera.

[@kathypowell8892]

This is great, love the double view. I always wondered how you were doing that first pull with your left hand. My goal is to throw as well as you some day.

[@jwar1155]

2 angles is great

[@elizabethbyrnes1777]

Nice with the two cameras. You are fabulous

[@jimmcdiarmid7308]

Love the two views

[@jackierisch5793]

Love the two angles. Thanks so much

[@PhillipDrema]

Great instructions! Thanks

[@timothyloch2603]

Loved it!!!

[@smyerscough1027]

I've been trying to figure out your "Claw pull" for some time. :) Very informative video. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@rodrigogoguiroae5598]

Great tuto, Matthew, one of your best, cheers

[@clairebradbury11]

Thank you, very clear instructions.

[@jasonkohlmeier6707]

This was an awesome video, the dual camera and your measurements help a lot. It’s nice to see your videos again. Showed it to my pottery class today.

[@MatthewKellyPottery]

Awesome! I’m glad you felt it was good enough to share and I hope it helped them!!

[@miguelromero3256]

both angles are awesome. that looks like a lot of clay for a pound and a half

[@stephaniebart-horvath1382]

Beautiful!

[@sammi-joreviews1135]

I’d really like for you to do more of these. Have you ever made an olive jar with the point at the bottom of the pot? I saw them in a news broadcast & documentary after a ship was found sunk off the coast of Spain. They found countless numbers of those jars.

[@Abyjan1]

آپ ایک اچھے استاد ہے

[@BrianMottershead]

You're a clay god, Matthew. But mere mortals aren't going to be able to throw a 10 inch platter bowl from a pound and a half of clay -- no matter how many views you give them, and no matter how patient and good your explanations are. And if they can, they are clay gods like you and they aren't watching the video.

[@Marcdrichter]

This was truly a fantastic instructional video. Much appreciated. I’m now 52 and I have been throwing since middle school but I’ve taken a 10 year break. I’ve returned with great motivation. I’ve noticed that with both your balls and your bore you have the wheel spinning fairly fast. I’ve gotten confused about wheel speed. I was taught to slow down the wheel when I began pulling up. Do you make any adjustments with wheel speed between centering and pulling?

[@MatthewKellyPottery]

Yes I definitely don’t pull with the wheel as the fast as centering.

[@lilyweinberg8635]

Hi Matthew, first of all thank you so much for these videos I have learned so much watching you. My question is, how do you get away with not adding water to the inside when doing your shaping (ie 8:35)? I feel like I have to add water to each pull otherwise my left hand fingers catch on the clay.

[@charlesgerveler4247]

Could you go through what you feel is perfect clay softness? I see in your pulling or forming the clay moves easily. Mine i always feel is so hard. Just curious i know you have done pottery for such a long time and i am curious your take on it.

[@deborahbryant1040]

Thanks, instruction and camera angles were very helpful!! What clay do you use?

[@MatthewKellyPottery]

This is OkeeMedium from Starworks. I use this clay for my wood kiln and Hestia from Highwater for my gas kiln.

[@xPezzottix228]

love the extra angle man! what kind of clay do you use if you don't mind me asking, looks great to work with.

[@MatthewKellyPottery]

I use Hestia from Highwater for my gas kiln and I normally use OkeeMedium from Starworks for my wood kiln.

[@nancyovergaard7362]

Nice photography, thanks! Is this a pound and a half or two? Just curious.

[@bradellison1345]

I think he said "two, pound and a half clay balls"

[@nancyovergaard7362]

@@bradellison1345 Thank you!

[@clifforddalton3067]

Hsin-chuen Lin has been doing this for some time Matt. It's cool I don't think this was live Matt! It's been a while, nice to see you back. By the way, there is no such words as height-th: haha

[@MatthewKellyPottery]

I meant that the video is now available not that I was live on YT. Yes I probably pronounced height incorrectly. Cheers

[@jelly9939]

hey can i ask where did you get your metal ribs from? :)

[@MatthewKellyPottery]

I don’t really use any metal ribs. Most of my ribs are wood and then a couple rubber ones. I have a couple thin metal ribs that came to me second hand.
