I do NOT need that much stress with my cereal and coffee! Wow! Three things I was thinking while watching: 1. White pants, are you nuts?! 2. I'm too short (5') to ever attempt that. 3. First video I've seen where you aren't talking. You were concentrating so hard! I'm glad you were able to finish it. Absolutely beautiful!
I agree with alea...simply amazing! I've been watching a lot of your videos multiple times. I'm amazed at how much water you use and it holds its shape. You make it look so easy! Thanks for sharing your skills!
This is incredible!! I love watching you throw...large or small... your videos are all brilliantly done...all technique and skill without the jibber jabber (if I could only not jibber jabber..lol!!) Thank you again for sharing your skills!
Based on how other potters do it, as I've seen them do it on RUclips, the lower part of the pot had to be blow-torched to make it strong enough to be able to support the upper portion. But this guy makes it appear like he's throwing a two-pound clay. Gosh, this guy is a genius!
wow! You do it without a rib, a throwing stick, etc, just your hands and a sponge on a single speed wheel. Watch out the ceramic tool companies may want to have you rrubbed out, Thanks for keeping it simple. Claire
Great vase. You could try throwing half a vase without the neck section. Extrude or roll coils, let the base setup, dry a little then add coils and throw them to finish the neck and top. You can make huge pieces this way.
Dan Wonderful work! Absolutely loved it! I know how challenging it can be to center such a large piece of clay.. Really an enjoyable video! Keep it up!
hi, im still really young, like 14, but i find pottery very interesting and im hoping i can persevere with it when im older and have a job, it looks like a really neat hobby through which i could channel my creative personality, i truley admire your work and think you are quite skillful at what you do! :)
Great form! I struggle with anything over four pounds, but I've only been throwing for about 8 months. Someday, I want to grow up and throw like you. LOL
Great pulling . I like your thought about standing on some blocks. It really helps . The great old masters made bigger pots in sections so your right about how much arm length one can manage . Some time have a look at the movie of the korian kimchei jar makers of Onnggi . Also there are clips here on YT of Issac Botton throwing a 30 pound cider jug . Great work and all the best , Yours Guy
Absolutely beautiful! When it gets so tall that your left arm will only go down as far as your elbow, how do you pull with only your right hand on the outside? How are you bring up the clay? What keeps it from just moving into the center instead of upwards because your two hands don't met until much farther up.
You centered that in one minute flat! There are outfits that sell foot activated lift tables for dog grooming - you could rig something up and make 6 footers complete with wireless speakers, motion activated lights, solar charger and a drainhole. People could use them indoors and outdoors as planters that light up the path when you get close during the night and send tunes all day and night. If you need a drawing - let me know.
Amazing, I really need to learn to throw bigger... what would you say the most difficult part is? I'm better now at centring, I have problems with the lifts... get a lot of torsion, which is causing problems... guess more water is one solution,... and practice!
To make large vessels you need to throw in at least to parts. You first throw and pull up your base (foot of the object) keep the walls relatively thick in the beginning so that you know it can support the weight. set that aside (do not wire it off yet) The throw bottomless cylinders and wait for the to lose the "tacky wetness" before wiring that off adding that to the base. You use basic hand-building techniques to make sure its on there and then continue throwing pulling the walls up. It sounds complicated but its not. this way you don't need to sweat it if you can only comfortable center and pull up 6-8lbs of clay at a time.
Not necessarily. I had a visiting teacher (small, older, Japanese woman) throw a vessel well over 3 feet from a 30 pound lump of clay. (I wedged the clay for her). Her mantra was "TEKNIKKE, TEKNIKKE, TEKNIKKE, NOT MUSSELLLL TEKNIKKE". (sic) One could also aways add softer thick coils to the top and continue throwing those...
I haven't seen that style of throwing before and I've been throwing for about 5-6 years. I'm a college student, still improving on my throwing style. I noticed you push in, collar the top before you pull from the bottom. Does this help support the neck and shoulder more of your pots? I've watched a few of your videos already. I like your style. I'm working with porcelain at the moment, but I've thrown with gray stoneware, white stoneware, and a raku type of clay.
Absolutely beautiful and I love the teapot I am a beginner and and my classmates and I were wondering how you hold your hand when you're coning up they seem to be in front of you we are being taught to keep them to the side. Is there anyway you could focus the camera on your hand especially when they're in front of you behind the pot. Absolutely love your work :-)
I've been inspired by this clip to try throwing larger amounts and having some success.... one question I have is that in the bellying out of the piece are you losing much height... I only ask because I seem to find I am, are you stretching out more and is this something that I should be aiming for or is it to be expected... Many thanks in advance,
when u use your knuckle to lift, i notice you create little ridges on the piece. This happens to me too, i dont quite get them to go away, how do you do it properly?
it appears that you're no where close to the bottom of the pot with your inside hand. Does it just look that way or is there 6lbs of solid clay in the bottom? I bet you could throw the same form with 8lbs.

The biggest battle in any tall cylinder is for me avoiding letting the top get too wet. Dan ive learned much from these videos. And this wow
@freakydeakydude22 Hi,all the pots are thrown in Grey Stoneware clay.
Cheers.
wow! You do it without a rib, a throwing stick, etc, just your hands and a sponge on a single speed wheel. Watch out the ceramic tool companies may want to have you rrubbed out,
Thanks for keeping it simple. Claire
Most excellent! Thank you for such a wonderful demonstration!
Great vase. You could try throwing half a vase without the neck section. Extrude or roll coils, let the base setup, dry a little then add coils and throw them to finish the neck and top. You can make huge pieces this way.
i like ur channel. its like watching "how its made" the tv show but with pottery and it reminds me of cotton candy art! idk y...
Because of all your skill I'd say you've probably been a potter all your working life! am I right Dan?
Excellent video thank you.
Absolutely beautiful!!! I love watching you work....
Dan
Wonderful work! Absolutely loved it! I know how challenging it can be to center such a large piece of clay..
Really an enjoyable video! Keep it up!
You should have an online shop for people to buy stuff on

racheldunkindonuts so 6 years later, you are 20, did you ever make it?

Looks like she's spent the day. Looks like she's done with the costumes. 😂😂😂
@@abbyl3490 lmao

Absolutely beautiful!
When I can't to the ceramic studio to throw, I comfort myself by watching your videos. As many as it takes. :o)
And as always: A beautiful piece.
An absolute mad lad, well done
Started throwing about a month ago, never thought so much upper body strength would be involved in throwing

He is so down to earth and real, self taught perhaps?
You have a very interesting throwing style! I like it very much!
Amazing as always!! I wish in 10 years i can be at least half as good as you are! :-)
OUTRAGE,,,,,,,,,,,this is SPARTA,,,,,,,,,,,,no seriously nice job and you should name it Spartan
you know, there is 3 days left of school, my last day of sculpture for the year and im going to throw my biggest one also. wish me luck!
That was really brilliant !!!!!
Very, very impressive!!! I don't think I'm up for that yet! Kudo's to you, my friend!

Your wheel has an awesome rhythm to it. I'm not sure if you enjoy or loath it...

looks good Dan
Wow! That's really beautiful :)
you make pulls look so easy....

you can always join two or more tall cylinders and make the piece taller

Im not saying you cant. its just easier....trying to properly center large amounts of clay its difficult and eventually wears down your wrists.

Great video, nice pot..
very well done.
that was amazing!
this is amazing!
When he was pushing down on it I was like " goo goooooo"
so cool!
I love this guy
It's lovely!
hahah hernia time lolz ur not just a potter ur a comedian!
Your f-en AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have a very hard time when it comes to centering.....
I've been inspired by this clip to try throwing larger amounts and having some success.... one question I have is that in the bellying out of the piece are you losing much height... I only ask because I seem to find I am, are you stretching out more and is this something that I should be aiming for or is it to be expected... Many thanks in advance,
when u use your knuckle to lift, i notice you create little ridges on the piece. This happens to me too, i dont quite get them to go away, how do you do it properly?
Nice!
beautiful
beautiful! how do you carve the foot?
This is exactly why I became a Proctologist.
What bat system do you use?
Perfect!
you move so much clay in one pull, how wet does the clay need to be for something like that?
How do you keep it from collapsing
After finishing r u fire that pots
Interesting foot . but i guess it must be large do to the sheer weight of the piece.
sweet!
So how tall was it after firing?
i heard if you use urine to wet the clay it keeps its form while pulling better
I was waiting till the elbow got in the mix, I think 6 pounds would push it for me plus it would take up lots of room in my kiln.
very cool
i wanted to ask why all pots u need color just in grey ??
52 second in. The moment you think I could just throw mugs off the hump.
What clay are you using?
This looks like a muscle building activity..
cool!
magnifique
That' the color of the clay... painting comes later.
Very beautiful - 12 kg is A LOT!!! very stuff
cpkunst it's 12 pound like 4.8 kg
very impressive with 12 pounds of clay
cool
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
hahaha xP "time to give myself a hernia centering it" xP
12bs it says at the beginning
it seems like you never glaze your pieces in all of your videos, why not?
wow i think thats the first time i heard you speak. hahaa
That's a payday
it appears that you're no where close to the bottom of the pot with your inside hand. Does it just look that way or is there 6lbs of solid clay in the bottom? I bet you could throw the same form with 8lbs.
12 pounds of motha fucking clay?? THIS NIGGA CRRRAAAZZZY!!
imagine wedging that...
YOU THE SHIT!

harry potter
