Matt can spontaneously generate clay from the bottom of each cilynder XD
Amazing technique, I'm learning so much from you. Thanks!!!
Yes that’s exactly how it’s done. 😂
Thanks Matthew, I always learn something new when I watch you throw and learn even more when you talk through what you are doing and why. Seeing your one-pound vases gives me a goal to work toward. Glad you are still healthy! Stay safe.
You are a great teacher and I appreciate you.
Great videos Matt. You have a friendly ,honest and knowledgeable approach to your work and teaching. Your a like-able person upon first sight and listen. Keep up the good work.
This was a great video. The Quality of the picture and sound is really fantastic. Professional.
Thank you. I’ve been working hard on both of those lately so that makes me very happy to hear.
Matthew, thank you so much! I am a new potter following a life long love in retirement. I always learn great tips when I watch your videos. You are an incredible potter and teacher.
Very nice finished forms ..It is funny ..SOme potters decades in are great at moving the material but end up with dumpy forms at the end .. You have a very good eye and sadly that can't be taught. By the way one thing I say to the students is start picking up the pot from the last place the wire cut ... I think it was George Curtis at Littlethorpe pottery in Yorshire who said to me about learning a move .. "The first thousand are always the hardest .. " Yours in clay , Guy
Thanks for the pointers. Very helpful. Sometime, would you do a video on making three sizes with similar proportions? For example, the same shaped vase in 1-2-3 lbs sizes.
Yes I’ll add that to my video list.
Thank you for another great video. The quality of the videography and editing has become highly professional. Wonderful job. Very much enjoyed it and try these tomorrow! Wonder how many will flop, lol! 🤣
Great pots! You make it look so easy, but I know that's skill and talent. Thanks!
Super helpful tips, thank you!
u make it look SO easy hahahah, i am going to practise right now
love ur honesty in explaining how u´re throwing.. gj done :)
How in the world did you get that clay so high in the beginning when it didn't look like you were actually pulling it?
Wow! That was an amazingly helpful video! So many good tips and ideas for beginners and intermediate potters. Thank you!
You’re very welcome!
Me throwing 1lb of clay: a 3” tall cup
Matt throwing 1lb of clay: 8” tall vase
😂😂😂
Same here!!
Yes for sure.
I love your videos. Can’t wait to get back to the studio and try out some of your tips!
Thank you for sharing your wedging/consistency tips. Great video. Thanks again (from Ottawa, Canada)!
You’re welcome
Good set of tips.
I stand at my wheel also at bellybutton height and find it very comfortable. My Giffin Grip I have set at around chest height with a cross brace to support and steady my forearms.
Thanks for sharing Matthew
.
so nice to see u form and work. love it
Thnaks..Explained well..Just wanted to know what is the height of vase for one pound clay..
Thanks for sharing God Bless
Thank you! Could you please do more videos addressing how to correct inconsistencies in the clay while throwing?
I will. I have a couple in mind already.
Really enjoy your videos.
You are too good!!
❤
You are amazing!!!
Easy to press the right button " like or dislike" as I can automatically press LIKE on all your works
I do remove my pots as I make them BUT I do torch them a little first, not too much but just enough to make it easy to get them off the wheel, guess we all do things differently aye Matt?
I only have 15 batts. By the time I have them full, I'm done for the day anyway. Maybe if I raise my wheel up like you do, my back wouldn't be shot
Great!
It was cool, thx!
Enjoyed your video. Am interested in what clay you are using. Thx.
What is the approximate dimensions of the finished vase?
can you make a video on how to trim with a needle tool?? for some reason I just cannot get that down and i ruin every pot when i try to trim the rim
Great video. How thick do you make the bottoms on these one pounders?
Add your Etsy link please Matthew 🙂
I don’t use Etsy anymore. All of my online sales are seasonal and held on my website matthewkellypottery.com
This was a great video!!! R
Thank you so much! Do you like to sell on Etsy? Just curious... :)
I did in 2020. I’ve recently finished my own site and will be using it soon for online sales.
What kind of pug mill do you have?
Venco
i don't understand why people think Bmix is quality clay!! its the stiffest crappiest excuse for potters clay that I have ever had the misfortune to use.
i haven't gotten an s crack or lost a handle in over 3 years until I was forced to use bmix...
now handles want to crack off on about 20% of my mugs!
Haha I adore Bmix because it's less stiff than any other clay I have tried. What do you like better?
Matthew, what's the secret to getting such height out of 1 lb? I have trouble knowing whether I can pull more or not. I'm so afraid of it collapsing! lol
Thanks for the lesson. I actually believe that you are the best potter that I have watched. So just keep up the good work and keep helping we amateurs. You seem to throw very thin, is this true. Also, could you tell us some time how tall the piece is that your turning. I try to match the perceived heights of the pieces you make, but never get there. Wonderful video
Thank you. Yes I try to throw fairly thin to make the pieces lighter. I haven’t thought of measuring while throwing for the benefit of everyone watching but I’ll try to remember that in the future.
i know im randomly asking but does anyone know of a method to log back into an instagram account?
I stupidly forgot my login password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me.

Hsinchuen Lin is the best potter on youtube, Matthew is very very good, I'm not trying to be rude. Hsinchuen is mind blowing
Any idea what the height is when making the cylinder on 1 pound pieces?
Loved watching your video! Amazing what you can make with one pound of clay!
Beautiful work as always.... love watching you make pots....
Thanks for the video! How much clay do you use for mugs/tankards?
You get so much out of 1 lbs. For a vase, do you throw vases thinner? Or use less when throwing mugs?
Noob questions 😂
Also, why not throw on the wheelhead if wiring off?
The large tankards were 1.25 lbs.
I probably do pull vases thinner than mugs.
I don’t like the feel of the wheel head especially if there is grog in the clay. The masonite bats are much more forgiving although this clay doesn’t have much grog. Just habit I guess.
Regular mugs are 1lb
Thanks!
Hey Matt could you make a video about shaping and riming? I'm making these 'large' sectional vases and I'm really struggling with wobbliness when shaping🙈
I am curious how you trim the bottoms of these vase shapes
Thanks always informative👍
Beautiful work and fun to watch being made. Thank you.
What a great teacher! Wonderful videos!
Love your videos as everyone does I'm sure. Might want to mention that the piece needs to be cleaned off before lifting off the wheel. That is always something I realize on my first piece.....lesson learned right.
Yes I guess I did not mention that but I meant to.
Do you ever use a kick wheel?
I don’t own one and have never used one.
