I lost it when you described it as 'choking a person'.

ALOL!!

[@Thekennel177]

Yikes.

[@lisalawn1111]

especially the third time lol

[@davidmolloy1317]

I especially like how the flow of creating the vase is broken down with well described technical steps. The split screen editing complements the easy conversation style narrative. Beginning, intermediate, and advanced potters will benefit observing this generous video! Looks like a shimpo wheel? ELY Molloy Studio

Best bottle shaping tutorial I've seen! Thanks!

[@unicornseatfruit]

I am so happy to have found your channel since this tutorial was so incredibly comprehensive! Thanks for sharing!

[@trebor7780]

You’re split screen is great! It’s just what I need to imitate.

[@shawnarene]

Thank you so much for your tutorials. Very informative. I have learned quite a bit and enjoy your style of teaching.

[@lynnenewell6812]

Hi again just found this and it’s fab- so detailed very helpful- why are you not doing more videos - you are the best to watch!

[@lynnenewell6812]

So beautiful and such a great tutor! Thanks Lynne New Zealand

[@kildoagpottery5012]

Fantastic demo, well explained. Thank you

[@comeseiquandoaprileali2346]

You explain everything so well!! Thank you!!!

[@janm2473]

This is amazing instruction.... I used to pot a fair amount a few years ago. Even so, this was most enjoyable and relaxing.

[@keramave776]

It looks so graceful. Beautiful!

[@curlyfern9977]

Glad I found these videos. So well done. Please make more videos.

[@elrombo4]

Fantastic video. Great teaching style! Can’t wait to choke (my bottle lol)

[@Naatti922]

yeah that really took a turn at the "try to push the air out, like when you're choking a person."

[@smerdoninbrawley]

Great instruction on collaring! Thanks

[@MadeleineTimbes-vf1sl]

Don’t like the choking comment-that being said I love your work. Very talented person.

[@joemartin4785]

You're awesome man. Thanks for the video :)

[@8schopra]

Perfect demo 👍Perfect neck 👍👏

[@63yearoldskater]

I'm not sure I can do this ... I have no experience choking people. 😂

[@pavlentos]

So cool!

[@kichopottery4275]

Lol. most of my students do too. Thanks for watching!

[@mlynnesnyder3923]

How many pounds of clay did you use in this video?

[@deirdreregnier5053]

You are amaaazing 👍👍👍thank you

[@kichopottery4275]

Porcelain. Coleman and Babu is what I use most of the time

[@bernadettelopicki7749]

merci beaucoup

[@kichopottery4275]

3 pounds of Coleman porcelain

[@calvinhuynh3902]

Are you using the tip of your fingers on the inside of the pot when you’re shaping the bottom? Thank you!

[@kareneasterceramics2255]

What clay do you use? Is it porcelain or stoneware?

[@ericredick1200]

Great tutorial on how to make a pot and choke a person 😂

[@ruthfox9354]

how much clay did you start with please?

[@fridakahlo2777]

Nice 🖒

[@clifforddalton3067]

Not much from you lately! can we expect more videos soon?

[@fatimabilwani3430]

This a question I always wonder. You are using a porcelain body, I am using a groggy earthenware body. Can I still have a very thin neck ?

[@kichopottery4275]

Different clay has its own challenges but Yes, you can make thin necked bottles with groggy earthware. Hope this helps

[@makenlyk2744]

i absolutely love the colour of your clay ! does it help the colour of glaze come through better ? my pottery teacher has mostly red clay and it’s always a pain to glaze.

[@kichopottery4275]

Yes! White clay body is alway brighter and prettier with most glaze. Not earthy.

[@thomascperez]

How do you trim the bottom of a pot like this?

[@kichopottery4275]

Please check out the trimming video under ki Cho pottery

[@63yearoldskater]
