Throwing lids and pots with galleries

Welcome to my KZbin channel!
In this video, we will be exploring the process of making pots with a gallery for lids. A gallery is a opening on the top of a pot that is used to hold a lid in place. This technique can add an extra layer of functionality and design to your pots. We will start by preparing the clay and centering it on the pottery wheel. From there, we will use our hands and a variety of tools to shape and smooth the pot. I will also demonstrate how to create the gallery and make a lid that will fit onto the top of the pot. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced potter, I hope this video will be helpful for you. Thank you for watching and happy creating!

Amazing tutorial, I had never made a jar with a gallery lid and today I got it on the first try following your instructions

[@ervinexplorers6477]

Excellent videos, John!! I really like your teaching style and love the little tips and tricks you provide in these videos, as well as your detailed description of tool choices. My wife and I just started in ceramics and are finding your lessons very helpful. Thank you!

What an excellent teacher you are! This tutorial filled in some blanks for me after making ginger jars for years! Thanks

[@JohnHasegawaCeramics]

Wow, that is great. I hope your next ginger jars turn out even better.

[@vzeimen]

Wow, excellent video and excellent teaching skills and camera angles.

[@JohnHasegawaCeramics]

Thank you very much!

[@tonymartinez2556]

This is so clearly done and well explained. I'm just starting with pottery and you gave me both information AND the confidence that I could do it. Thank you

[@JohnHasegawaCeramics]

You are welcome. I am so happy that you are learning from the videos.

[@sylviefeys744]

I love your videos, they are so helpfull. Thank you! 🙏🍀♥️

[@RhaeaMaurel]

Thank you John. I appreciate the way you cover details of the process.

[@JohnHasegawaCeramics]

You are very welcome

[@karri8998]

That was a fabulous lesson. Thank you so very much, you are such a huge inspiration as always!

[@lolademilo7474]

Really good clay doesn’t come fresh out of the bag. Really good clay has been reclaimed at least once, is soft and smelly and has rested a good while.

[@sophiav.5384]

John, you are a fabulous teacher. Thank you so much for these videos!

[@JohnHasegawaCeramics]

Glad you like them!

[@amgolfpotter]

Thank you John. I always really appreciate your explanation and details. Please keep making more videos.

[@nancyk4679]

I really enjoy and learn from your videos

[@JohnHasegawaCeramics]

Awesome, thank you!

[@jackiemorrison2661]

Best video on lidded pots!

[@sammiejames401]

I watched this yesterday. It is so natural and down-to-earth. I love the way you fiddle with imperfections to make it come out right. Like the way I work. I feel validated.

[@scottperkins7375]

Great video! Really good, clear explanation and I love the multi camera angles. I shared your Tap Centering with my students and almost all of them are doing it now! Big time saver!

[@JohnHasegawaCeramics]

I am glad you like the videos. Yes, HUGE time save. when a student miss a demo or can not remember certain part, I have them watch the video I made. Sometimes half the class is on their phones watching the videos I made for class. This is the first time that it has been a good thing that they are on their phones during class.

[@khardy9]

Love your teaching style and energy!

[@JohnHasegawaCeramics]

Thank you!

[@leannefranson1198]

This is the first time I watch one of your videos, and you are very engaging, as well as very clearly explaining and showing. I love all the little "whooop!", "clay will squirt up", "happy rim" etc. I also really like your demo pieces, like the cross sections of pot with gallery, different lids etc, to show how they will fit. Thanks so much. I subscribed, and look forward to more of your videos.

[@JohnHasegawaCeramics]

Thank you. I am glad you are enjoying the videos. Thank you for subscribing

[@gaspazha7045]

Great instruction, great potter! Thanks John.😊

[@jsud5559]

Just fabulous! My first video of yours and I am all excited!!! Thanks so much. Love your teaching style❣️

[@JohnHasegawaCeramics]

I am so happy you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching.

[@sandrahoward7364]

Great tutorial, very good details and explanations. I just accidentally came across this tutorial and I’m hooked by your teaching style. I’ve clicked the subscribe button so I can watch more of your videos! Thanks a bunch!

[@JohnHasegawaCeramics]

You are welcome. I am working on a video about flange lids. It will be coming soon.

[@mariapirita5021]

Just found you! You are wonderful. Thank you!!

[@correctrper2941]

quick tip: if you are having problems with the gallery area being messy when you for it, try using a wood clay knife instead of a rib. The sharper edge will get a much cleaner gallery. hope this helps

[@JohnHasegawaCeramics]

Great suggestion

[@janeogilvie9648]

Great teacher. Those green wheel head bats - why don’t they slide around? What are they?

[@JohnHasegawaCeramics]

They work with bay pins that fit in the wheel head. Here is a link where you can buy the bats. seattlepotterysupply.com/products/speedball-12-in-batt-round-plastic

[@debragraham2032]

Thank you for the video. Very informative and well done. Where did you get the wooden models that show how the lids and the floor and fit together? So often when I’m thinking about lads hard for me to get my head around what I’m looking at. Those would be great to have.

[@sohaumafonte1723]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤩Brasil

[@fritzigoldberg253]

ust curious. What is the approximate weight of the piece of clay that becomes the lid? Thanks.

[@JohnHasegawaCeramics]

Not much under 2 lbs. I do not weigh that piece of clay. I just eyeball it and hope I have enough.

[@Shawnreidpottery]

Could you do a video how you would pull a handle ?

[@JohnHasegawaCeramics]

Take a look at this video- kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5DRY6Gio7KLr7s

[@6tamara]

I think you are great. I’m trying to watch everything you have on KZbin. But what I really need to find out and it’s the biggest puzzling thing is how wet is your clay? How malleable is it? Also, if you could please make videos of bloops and blunders. When you’re trying to make a bowl and the upper porch starts falling down because it’s too wet and heavier. How do you resolve that? How can you tell if you have a air bubble in your clay? All the blunders that we make as potters

[@JohnHasegawaCeramics]

A blunder video would be fun. Overall I record everything live with almost no editing before I post. In general there are no blunders or I do blunder I stop the recording and film a new video. I like your questions and will think about making videos about them.

[@6tamara]

@@JohnHasegawaCeramics I think you are impressive and I love what you do. I have never gone into this area of my emails before, so I had no idea you had replied!

[@terryhollier8451]

Sponge the water out of the pot?

[@JohnHasegawaCeramics]

Yes, I always sponge out the water. Very carefully
