[@PotteryCrafters]

Hi Diane, I am so happy to help. Thank you so much for sharing. The trimmer does make it easier.😊

[@tonymartinez2556]

Your coning method is so effortless! Goals for sure

[@PotteryCrafters]

Thank you!!

[@maryjeanallen6189]

Thank you , Marie, for another great video. Fabulous to learn more as I watch you work on the wheel! I was intrigued you did not use your edger tool. I loved the handles you made and chose for each mug shape. Looking forward to seeing how the glazing comes out for each mug.

[@PotteryCrafters]

You are so welcome MaryJean. Thank you for your support 😍

[@masoncreationsetc]

Wow Marie, it's mesmerizing to watch you. Love that mug 😍

[@PotteryCrafters]

Oh thank you Donna! 😍

[@dianeduncan8949]

I like your video because they show you a lot I watch you every day I go my pottery wheel last year from amazon I love it play with it every day I have made bowl and mug

[@PotteryCrafters]

Thank you. That is great to hear!

You're welcome Mindy!

[@cathybriggs8725]

I am just learning to make pottery. I find your videos very informative. Thank you for sharing!

[@PotteryCrafters]

You are so welcome Cathy. Welcome to the wonderful world of pottery crafting. 😍

[@TheTravelDudes]

Cool!

[@PotteryCrafters]

Thank you 😊

[@deozzed7246]

We really enjoyed Marie’s great video of technique

[@PotteryCrafters]

Thanks so much 😊

[@deozzed7246]

@@PotteryCrafters a question for you unrelated to this video. Do you clean your pottery wheel after each use? We always clean everything afterwards. I can see how cleaning the hand tools is necessary and fairly easy and quick. Throwing a few items because you have a quick 60 or 90 minutes and then cleanup afterwards seems like too much work for such a short time on the wheel. Especially when you are as messy as I am. What is your routine? Thanks in advance.

[@PotteryCrafters]

That's a very good question. As much as I would like to clean my tools and wheel after each use I do not all the time. Sometimes I just don't have to clean up everything. I always clean my wheel head and do basic clean-up. but I don't always clean my splash pan. 😍

[@KatAtkinson]

Really enjoyed your video :-) will have to try those shapes. I am still at the phase I can get something that I like but it is by accident lol.

[@PotteryCrafters]

Thank you so much Kat. Let me know how it goes.😊

[@lindawuerch561]

So relaxing to watch. You are very skilled 🙂❤

[@PotteryCrafters]

[@roxannshafto4275]

I keep trying. I can’t get my mug any taller than 4 1/2”. They twist or weak areas. Phooey I’ve gone through 50lbs of laguna clay. I can’t wait to try your favorite clay. Maybe there’s hope. lol thank you for all you do

[@PotteryCrafters]

Yes this is my favorite - Amaco A-Mix #11 Stoneware geni.us/hZeg You can also wedge some vinegar in the clay to improve the plasticity of the clay. 😊

[@sureyyainci231]

We love to hear your voice 🥰

[@PotteryCrafters]

Thank you so much !!!😍

How much clay I need for a mug thank for your video

[@PotteryCrafters]

Hi Farides. I use a pound and a half of clay to make them 5 and a half inches high and 3 and half inches wide 😊👍

[@Shawn_Reid_Pottery]

Do you have a video on how to make an urn ?

[@PotteryCrafters]

No, but I was thinking about it. For a pet or person?

[@Shawn_Reid_Pottery]

Both ?

[@susanvalleauderby2934]

what weight of clay have you used?

[@PotteryCrafters]

One and a half pounds. I like my mugs on the bigger side.😊

[@Dreamwarrior28]

What pound do you use for the clay?

[@PotteryCrafters]

One and a fourth pounds or 20 ounces 😊

[@heididerksen8227]

How much clay did you use for each cup

[@PotteryCrafters]

I used a pound and a half. I like my mugs a bit bigger.😊

[@heididerksen8227]

@@PotteryCrafters Thank you and you do a beautiful job. Still learning how to pull up walls. Little by little I'm getting there.

[@PotteryCrafters]

Wonderful. Keep practicing Heidi. It's very common for a beginner to pull around 8 times to get the cylinder 6 to 7 inches high. Of course, everyone learns at a different pace. I have a how-to throw a cylinder video that may help. Here is the link for you. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnTCdWp6aLidnq8 😊
