Thanks Guy. I am really happy to have found these pottery videos after so many years since you've made any. And realised that I learned so many tricks from you. I've made coggles and stamps, the square rib. You're a great teacher and I appreciate your skill and warmth. All the best, Waynos, New Zealand

What a DELIGHT AND A MASTER OF YOUR CRAFT... and banjo playing! I just found you and am grateful to you for sharing decades of experience and inspirations with us. Thank you!

[@guywolff]

Thank you for your interest and kind words :) It is a joy doing this and Banjo and Motorbiking :)

Fabulous work and so mesmerizing to watch you . Very relaxing 😊

[@alisonburgess345]

That's the perfect shape for a flowerpot - they should be taller and narrower than they are wide. I'd love a set of those!

[@davidprins9401]

Thank you

[@pottersjournal]

Bravo, bravo, bravissimo. And thank you for the encore after the tattoo story. Grazie mille.

I've watched your videos too many times to count, so when a new one comes its like Christmas - no, better. Please, please keep them coming. And, thank you :)

Great video Guy!

[@eddiespottery8439]

I still remember watching your videos for the first time in February of 2016. I must had watched all of them at least twice by the end of 2016. I truly enjoy watching Large pottery being made, thank you for making a few. eddiespottery.

Always fun to watch someone else throwing pots, especially with such finesse and skill! Thanks, Guy. :))

[@louduva9849]

Yes! Pots! Great work, sir.

[@Chewbury]

Beautiful! Especially the consistency between the two!

[@mccypr]

Amazing! Thanks for explaining the process. I presume “compression” is when it can go sideways. Literally. 😎🌞✌️

[@bobm2331]

Your clay body moves so fluidly under your control. Can you share what clay body you use? Thanks for taking the time to share your art.

[@guywolff]

It is 100 Goldart 35 fire clay 15 bond clay 5 to 15 sand (more sand for bigger pots above 35 pounds )

[@bobm2331]

@@guywolff thanks very much

[@Fraserlangford]

Great work. Would you share the size of this pot please.

[@guywolff]

After firing my 6 pound pot is around 8.25 inches tall and wide ..

[@Fraserlangford]

@@guywolff Thank you

I just noticed your Triumph poster. I had a 59 500 Triumph while stationed at RAF Croughton with the USAF from 1963 - 1967.

[@guywolff]

@@Fraserlangford I had a 67 Bonnie when I was working in SOuth Wales in 1970 .The last few years I am riding a 900 Triumph STreet Scrambler on my very back farm roads .There are some videos on my channel of riding here in Connecticut ..

[@Barbara-ty8dj]

Where do you get the stamps that you impress on your pots? Are they run-of-the-mill rubber stamps?

[@guywolff]

I use old 19th century lead type for my name stamp ..Also home made clay stamps and an English crown for the english shapes

[@Barbara-ty8dj]

Do the Tuscan pots have drainage holes?

[@guywolff]

All my flower pots have drainage ...

[@Barbara-ty8dj]

When do you cut the hole? Right after throwing or after it has dried a bit? I must have missed that on the video🥴

[@guywolff]

@@Barbara-ty8dj Sorry I just saw this .I make the drainage hole when I first open the floor ...
