The best part of this is the little laugh in your voice when you admit you cheat the bottom part when centering! Hearing you do that makes me feel better because I do too.
It's only cheating when someone can see the hole :)
Thanks. I think pulling the walls slightly inward instead of straight up is the tip I really needed.
Ann-- Beginners can become frustrated. When teaching them, I remind them that--learning to throw on the wheel is simply moving clay from one place to another. The skill sets they'll learn are: When to move it, how to move it and where to move it. This simple reminder helps quell their heavy sighs and provides a check list--which one did I fail to accomplish? Try again. Hope this helps some of you get passed the difficult moments.
Great tips!
ann, always good to go back to basics, we have a great teacher, thats you, to teach us the easy way to do things. always a pleasure to watch , listen and learn thankyou
I’m still getting used to the wheel. This was very helpful! Thank you!
I learn so much from your videos, all is explained so clearly and so well filmed. Thank you Ann. 🙏🍀
I love your videos, so easy to understand! Thank you!
I get a great deal-of useful information from each one of your videos, you are a great teacher.
This has been the most helpful tutorial by far! Thank you so much :)
What a great video! Thank you for being a great teacher!
Love every single one of your videos! You and Jim make high quality, detailed, original videos that make me feel like I’m stopping by to hang out with some friends when I watch. Thank you so much for your content! 🤗💜
Thank you - that's the best compliment we could get!
Great video. Thanks for the tips!
Helpful video for the newbies! Thank you Ann!
Oh good! I am glad you like it!! Im hoping it helps someone out there...maybe who is having trouble gaining height.
Very helpful tips, thanks!
Part art. Part science. Fascinating Ann.
Aww....that is an interesting way to look at it. Good observation.
Thank you for making this detailed video!
Thanks Paula for the kind words and thank you for watching. 🙂
Oh! Thank you so much, you've exactly described the problem I keep having throwing a mug - it ends up top heavy and a ring just goes flying off as I pull up because the rim is too heavy!
This has been so helpful, esp showing the coning technique so clearly, an area with which I struggle. Thank you and God bless as you share your gifts and abilities!
Yes I struggle with wheel throwing,I'm teaching myself and watching videos to get tips and hints from everyone this is very helpful.
This is so helpful! Thank you!!
Thanks for watching Chris. I am glad you found it helpful!!
Thank you so much for your clear instructions Ann making a mug has always been difficult for me.
Hi Helen. I am sorry to hear that. I so understand. I hope this video can help at least a little. Keep at it Helen!! Good luck behind the wheel. 🙂
Sweet video!
Thanks a lot!!
Thank you and very helpful
Oh Good Heidi!!! I am glad. Thanks for watching!! 🙂
you're a great teacher!
Aww...thanks Liway! You are so kind!! Have fun on the wheel 🙂
Thank you Ann, this video is very helpful as getting height is something with which Im struggling.
Hi Cariad. Oh good. I get that question a lot about height. Like I said in the video, opening up the clay mound a bit wider than what you want so you have room to shrink the diameter each time you make a pull.... and always pulling up and INWARD is important to keeping control of the clay as it gains more height. Keep me posted how this goes. 🙂 Good luck
Great video Ann
Professional editing and photography
Thanks Rick. I will pass that on to Jim. He is the genius behind the camera!!! 🙂
Thanks for that!
your videos are always super informative. thank you so much for sharing....! How many pounds do you usually use to make a mug?
This was great!
Hi Jackie! I am glad you enjoyed it!!
@@annruel1982 i absolutely did!!
Very nice
Oh good!! I am glad you found it enjoyable!!
excellent
Thanks Sheep! That is so nice of you!!
Thanks.
Our pleasure. Thanks for watching!! I hope it was helpful.
Thanks for the nice little tutorial. Looks like a good goal for a newbie to aim for.
Btw, I was surprised to see you wearing your rings while throwing. I would have assumed that they might snag while opening, and you might worry about damaging or losing the stone while working.
I'm more afraid of forgetting where I put it after taking it off :)
I love your underglaze lessons. Could you share with me the name of the very small liner brush you use for black lines and details?
I haven’t been able to find one which remains pointed while I’m using it, so my lines are always too thick.
Many thanks,
Glynne

What material or paper is Signore Tastardi using for the initial drawing prior to the application on plaster?
I do not know...sorry.
Hi Ann🍀 Could you please tell me how much grams do we need for that kind of mug?
I use 1lb (450g) for each mug - thanks!
@@LittleStreetPottery thank you🥰
🙂❤👍
Schmutz!!! Great reminder! Always great to go back to basics!!! Thanks!
*How is this a "secret" when you have posted it on a public portal?*
By the way, where are the so called "secrets"??? ...
Looks difficult a skill, there should be a machine that can mold a clay like that instead
