Throwing a Small Rimmed Bowl with 3 Pounds of Clay | ASMR Pottery

This video shows how I make a small, rimmed bowl with 3 pounds of clay. It's a companion video to my Introduction to Wheelthrowing video ( • Introduction to Wheel ... ) but this is the ASMR version with ambient studio sounds. This video shows how I center, open, throw, and shape a bowl. If you'd like a more detailed version of this technique, definitely check out the Introduction to Wheelthrowing video, which also includes information on how I set up my wheel and tools used to make this bowl.
If there are any questions, please leave a comment and I'll do my best to get back to you. Thanks for watching.
