SIMON LEACH POTTERY - Throwing a 4lb tall vertical bottle !

[@lindabeebe7065]

Got to start in ‘77 in school. Been throwing regularly since 2020. My son & I have opened a public teaching studio. I don’t have as much time to watch videos but my goodness! After sitting with students for just over a year, it’s so nice sitting down and watching one of your videos again! You’re number one on my list of KZbin potters to recommend. 👍🏼

As I get a little more throwing experience, these old videos become much more meaningful. Many of the details used to slip right past me. I had a false sense of how throwing worked. Didn't have a wheel, just watched others do it.

Thank you Simon, I enjoy learning from your videos. You inspire me to throw bigger and better.

[@etbesti]

[@pfosinger]

Gorgeous. Love the simplicity and honesty of the form. Hope you'll post the finished pot with glaze.

[@meredithpottery]

hey Simon! The bottle vase is just lovely. thanks so much for the throwing tips about how to oppose your fingers when bringing up the walls. Could you please tell me how tall the vase was when you finished?

Thanks for this clip, we will be going up to 4 lbs soon in the workshop I am taking, "going back to Basic's" Lots of good info.

A real pleasure, and so informative. Thanks as ever.

[@AmouryaImpressions]

GREAT VIDEO!!! Thanks so much... I'll be sharing it with friends who are getting started with pottery.

[@CaroleMatheson]

What a nice chap. Amazing potter. Thanks Simon 😊

[@sherihartman8653]

Thanks. Simon, for the tip where you showed how to smooth a rim on a taller pot with the space between the index and middle finger. I appreciate your teaching. And by the way...Gesundheit :D

Good project for me to practice on. And nice to see that you got your ads back! K B

[@lisagreer4930]

Please come to Australia with your workshops one day Simon! We,ll put you up and home cook for you on our little farm and would call a mountain of local potters in our studio.?

[@edstud1]

Very instructive videos. Why not use an electric wheel?

[@RoosterPootPottery]

Why do you spray your apron?

[@sleachpots]

Keep the dust down so i am not breathing it up my nostrils !

[@Shannon_Lacey]

Do you ever make corks for your bottles?

[@DirtKickerPottery]

Nice bottle Simon.

[@lisagreer4930]

My potter friend and i would love to know what clay you use generally (no grog) it looks lIke a smooth iron based clay on you tube.? I currently use Lagoona's PB 103 but s cracking is a problem with plates and widwee based pots. Could you please sugest a goog all rounder from anywhere as its always shipped into Austrzlis. So silly that our own clay mines are bought up by other countries then we have to buy it back from them!! That life , cheers Simon.

[@sleachpots]

Lisa Greer - h! the clay I use is one from Standard ceramic supply and its number is 306 in their catalogue.Does have some grog actually reasonably fine but some none the less. This clay I also use for doing raku without any problems. Wow seems a funny thing to have to import clay from the other side of the world ! Their must be local clays that could be dug surely ? Yes would be good to go to your neck of the woods one day and teach some workshops, need someone to organize it ! :)

[@lisagreer4930]

@@sleachpots Thank you Simon. I will chat with our local pottery club about organizing a visit from you. No, we dont own anymore clay pan. All sold on apparently. We have to buy it back. Thank you for answering so quickly, will get back to youmon the other subject. Kindest regards Lisa Greer Coffs Harbour NSW
