Throwing a Utility Crock

[@donnastorrie2542]

Thank you for the incredible detail throwing and description as you made the crock. This amount of detail is very helpful as most people skip so much of what is happening. Thank you for taking the time to make this video!

You're very welcome! ❤

😊 I too love sailing & playing in the mud 😄❤ I am certainly not as talented as you & your daughter but it is wonderful to share that love with you both!

Thank you for showing us how to do the crock! Congratulations to your daughter. You must be so proud of her! ❤

Thank you Sally for this very detailed video. A great tutorial fo just about any pot a potter might want to make.

[@SallyRoperPottery]

Thanks Darrell. I have been a part of workshops where demonstrators talk about their path in pottery and NOT about what their hands are doing while making their pot. It’s all about the details.

It was an amazing weekend on many levels.

They turned out very nice. I've not seen someone use a laser level as a throwing gauge like that before, very clever. Congrats to your daughter as well.

[@SallyRoperPottery]

Laser level is perfect for repetitive throwing.

Thank you so much for the throwing tips tried them this morning and it really really helps. I'm self taught started during covid and you're technique is by far the easiest for me and just the little tips for a long way. Hope all is well there and so glad you could celebrate your daughter. Keep potting and making your videos. My pots are a little heavy I can tell like you said but I'm also just slowly learning the technics and tricks. A little m extra trimming but I think I'll get it soon. Thanks again.

Thanks Heidi. If I can help just one person then I am happy. This is a craft of patience and eventually you will gain enuf skill to throw beautifully balanced pots. Once you get this feeling, it won’t go away.

@@SallyRoperPottery thanks I have improved from a couple years ago. I'm hand building slip casting and trying to throw too. I was given lip cast molds for free so I'm learning that too.

Thank you Sally for the wonderful tips on throwing!!! I will be trying out some soon! I also noticed you have a strong arm! I recently got one and have only thrown one bowl so far… do you have a tutorial using the Strong arm?
