[Video pottery class] #9 How to make a sake bottle and vase on a potter's wheel.

[@mikeu5380]

You are such a good teacher (as well as a skillful potter)! I often "hear your voice" when I am in my studio. Right now, I am having trouble with my saké bottle 徳利 being too heavy at the bottom, so I will keep trying. Also, how do you measure the amount of clay to use for the right volume for saké? Thank you from Iwate!

Thank you for your comment. Thank you for your kind words. Japanese sake is expressed in units of 1 GOU. 1 GOU is 180 mL.

@@kiraku-pottery I see. How would you measure the raw clay, on the wheel, for that?

[@kiraku-pottery]

thank you for your reply. It is not determined by the amount of clay, but by the size of the mold. However, it is not precisely calculated. It's a feeling.

ここまでは技術、いよいよ感性（個性・センス）の世界に入りますね・・・歓喜or挫折？？？笑)

いつもコメントありがとうございます。 そうです、そうです。技術の後は感性ですね。納得できる度合いが一番大きい要素ですね！
