Throwing A Faceted Bowl

[@r.duroucher225]

Less than 10 minutes of time to throw a beautiful bowl. Skill. Thank you for this great video.

[@MatthewKellyPottery]

If I wasn’t being fancy it would be much faster. Haha

[@dannyburnettjr8605]

Matthew I really enjoy the voiceovers you have started to do. I’m sure it adds time to your editing process but it really helps us see you throw how you normally would while still getting great instruction…

[@MatthewKellyPottery]

I’m glad you enjoy them. Yes it definitely adds time but it seems to be going well when I don’t fumble over my words too much

[@mandimarie2379]

Love this design!!!

[@wp3626]

Awesome process. Thanks for sharing!

[@cherylbowman5036]

Beautiful bowl Matthew, thanks for the clear instructions!

[@clifforddalton3067]

Very nice Matt, thank you for the demo as always.

[@MatthewKellyPottery]

You’re welcome

[@jefflawrence243]

cool project thoroughly explained - thanks!

[@gahorowitz]

Very nice! When my teacher demoed this technique last year he alternated the wheel direction as he pulled out so the facets ended up vertical rather than spiraling, but I think I prefer the twist - gives the bowl more of a sense of movement.

[@MatthewKellyPottery]

Yes I definitely want the twists although having the facets vertical with a widening effect would be cool.

[@igotbit9454]

That’s beautiful! Love these voiceover vids

[@wackyjackievideoproduction3417]

Thank you! Can't wait to try this! 🙂

[@MatthewKellyPottery]

You’re welcome! Good luck

[@triciac1019]

Matthew, thank you for giving us such a very nice and detailed training session. Those bowls are just beautiful and something I want to try when I go back to the studio I go to. How fun that will be. Your work is always so creative and detailed.

[@MatthewKellyPottery]

Good luck

[@triciac1019]

I made two of these bowls today. The first was ok. It didn't swirl as much as yours did. The second I cut too deep so it was about to collapse. It was fun and I will practice more.

[@johnwagner9559]

Incredible.

[@lucasschick8423]

Really nice! Probably some of the best of this technique I’ve seen!

[@MatthewKellyPottery]

Not sure it’s the best but it works

[@lucasschick8423]

@@MatthewKellyPottery yes 😇 it’s an easy technique to mess up or get uneven 🙏🏻

[@frankeager]

I love to see the different ways people approach faceting pottery. Thanks pointers I am sure I will add a few things to when I make them.

[@MatthewKellyPottery]

There are so many different ways. Not that mine is the best by far but having fun experimenting

[@tompots2]

cool..thanks a new variation to try

[@jasonkohlmeier6707]

Definitely going to make one

[@MatthewKellyPottery]

Good luck!

[@beatricecasalone9473]

Bravissimo, complimenti per questo lavoro!

[@cynthiaknox2131]

Lovely! Can we have a trimming video of this type of bowl? Thanks so much.

[@MatthewKellyPottery]

I recorded the trimming of one of them but not sure of the quality. I think that kind of video should be a dual perspective video. May need to plan one for the future.

[@williamblack4611]

Thanks so much for this video. Going to try this one today. Also, thank you for returning to making some more instructional videos, they are so good.

[@MatthewKellyPottery]

You’re welcome. We all need a break from the social media grind at times

[@Elizabeth-mo3fv]

loved this and I sure am going to try this.

[@tanudjagibson5557]

Thanks for the video! I watched the reel and thought gee I hope he makes a You Tube of how he threw that cause it is fab! Definitely gonna give that a go. Love your videos; they're so helpful.

[@MatthewKellyPottery]

I thought it would be a great combo to make some full vids of the same pieces I make for reels

[@DCH001]

Absolutely amazing!!! Thanks for sharing your work. I’m going to try and make this :)

[@MatthewKellyPottery]

Good luck

[@triciac1019]

I have tried this technique a few times and sure need to practice a lot more.

[@Zhaanaay]

Will definitely be trying this today!

[@debroberts1296]

Thanks, Matthew. Have you ever done a coffee mug in this style?

[@MatthewKellyPottery]

I have 9 that I just made. They will be available for my online sale in a couple weeks

[@debroberts1296]

@@MatthewKellyPottery Awesome!

[@deMibPottery]

Thanks a lot. Really nice variation on Facet Bowls (that I also love to do) 🙂 One thing that I have always found tricky is how to control the degree of swirl when you expand this - or any type of, texture cut cylinders. Very often they do not swirl at all. Sometimes some. So far, I have an idea about that it may be a question about how dry or wet it is. The more dry the more I sort of drag the clay and make the swirl. But then again, I am not completely sure that is the only - or most important factor. What is your experience with this? How do you get the most swirly effect?

[@epicgametrailer1760]

Nice work!!

[@juliapx3157]

Great video will give it ago many thanks from New Zealand

[@milavalle1251]

👏👏👏👏👏 meus parabéns! Lindo trabalho

[@グリーンルベラ]

動画ありがとうございました。

[@lancealottalittle8859]

Thanks Matthew , your a great teacher ! I’ve been watching some of your videos and then I’m heading out to the barn where I’ve keep my my wheel . So grateful 😎How can I pitch in something to help keep you going? Lance

[@MatthewKellyPottery]

You’re welcome! I’m glad you’re inspired. I have a Patreon account but that’s a monthly subscription. I don’t talk about it much but that is a way you could support my efforts.

[@hkhodges8487]

Nice instructions...but I prefer your more relaxed, spontaneous videos.

[@MatthewKellyPottery]

Thanks. I’ll continue to do some of both

[@Maryzlem]

So maybe you can tell me the secret.... I just threw one of these and did everything "the same" as your video. Mine is just a lovely fluted bowl - no spiral? What happened? I'm sure I must have missed something..... :/

[@MatthewKellyPottery]

I think it probably has to do with the down pressure while opening up the cylinder after carving.

[@Maryzlem]

@@MatthewKellyPottery I believe you are correct. Upon reviewing your video again I realized that I started at the bottom and just bellied it out 🙄 I will have to give it another shot. Making that other one into a small planter! 😂
