Thanks, Lin. Excellent, as always. I use your measuring width-and-depth tool. I will add the O-rings when I throw off the hump. So simple, so smart. You are a wonderful resource.
I appreciate that you share your skills and learned a lot. Thank you for that. I don't like all those fast forward parts in your latest videos. They somehow interrupt the flow. I mean, don't people have the patience anymore to watch a process from the beginning to the end?
Hi Hsinchuen. I wish you would show how you put the plastic bag over the clay to help it dry slower please. Thanks for your videos - you always inspire me!
Hsin-Chuen: I am having a problem with the cone 5 porcelain I was hoping you can help with. I notice you get a good amount of slip on your hands when throwing yet Ingleton (if you look at his youtube channel) does not. On the other hand I get an ungodly amount and practically need a sponge or drag is induced, the pot twists and I have to start over. I am currious if this is just an artifact of the clay I am using or if its something I am doing wrong. For example in centering I have to we it a ton to avoid this.
This was asked admittedly a while ago, but I can your questions. The Ingleton potter uses a stoneware clay unique to his region. In one of his past videos, he says it is more resistant to slaking down from the heavy amounts of water he uses than is typical of other clay bodies. That's why his hands were so free of slip. He also works very fast and that helps him get away with drenching his pots so much. Hsin-Chuen works primarily with high fire porcelain. Those very fine clays will generate lots of slip on your hands, particularly if you used too much water during centering or pulling. The drag doesn't come from slip on your hands, but rather the walls not being lubricated enough before you tried making a pull. Sometimes it's necessary to add water on top of a slip coat. You can't always avoid dry spots or even getting twists in the walls. Those can actually be corrected by using a rib to recompress and flatten any warping. See Hsin-Chuen's video #615, for example.
You have your own "Hsinchuen Lin" category in my playlists on RUclips. U R Sensational❗

Why isn't this guy way more famous?!
He's very well known in the ceramic world. As far as I'm concerned, one of the best♥️
Thank you. You inspired me to try it with 6 lbs of clay and the throwing part worked. Drying now for trimming.
I use the wooden rib I bought from you: it works beautifully to compress the clay when I'm making plates. Thank you!

Do you use a heat gun in your videos?
