115. How to Wheel Throw a Tall Vase

[@cuttygrass]

Thanks for another excellent demonstration. I often find my fingers catching on dry clay when I'm midway through a pull - I didn't think about making sure the surface was evenly wet as you mention, so thanks for that and all your other tips. Cheers

Thanks. If you run into dry spots, stop, slowly release and re-hydrate :-)

Another great informative video I like your relaxed attitude about the things you are trying to get better at it gives a lot of help and encouragement to the rest of us struggling throwers thanks again

Thanks! Another great video! Quick question.... did you let either tall straight cylinder dry a bit before shaping?

[@deMibPottery]

Thanks. Not this time but often I do. It helps :-)

My problem with these tall shapes is that at some point, I can't seem to get them any thinner... And if I squeeze harder, I end up deforming them.
More practice, I guess?

[@deMibPottery]

I know that feeling :-) It can help to let it try a little bit - a few hours or use a heat gun, and then continue pulling
