I am an autodidact who follows several potters on RUclips to see how each approach the same fundamentals. Your timing couldn't be better. I recently decided to try my hand at making Olive Oil bottles . The results were fair. (too thick of a foot and shoulder). You have a thorough and approachable style of teaching that makes me feel like I can walk into the studio tomorrow with more confidence and apply what I learned here. Thank you for many aha! moments. Now, if I could just figure out how to move to Portland and enroll in your classes...
Glad you like it! I have a webcam or camera on a scissor arm. I can move camera around so it will capture the best view possible. The scissor are was from an old lamp that I used in college that I took the lamp part off and attached the webcam on the end.
Best demonstration of the exact dynamics needed to pull this off. I am just at the point in my wheel journey when I am ready to try this. So excited to feel My mind now knows what I want my hands to do! Thank you so much!
I started learning pottery during lockdown this time last year. I'm struggling with larger forms and haven't really been able to get any tuition to help correct my forms due to lockdown. RUclips has been a great learning tool for me, but most channels don't go into the depth and detail that you do. So I thank you for your work, please keep it up!
@@JohnHasegawaCeramics , Hi John, I have been trying to build a wall for weeks on my pottery wheel. I have tryed the bending of the finger using the fatty part of the bent joint and lifting up and it flairs out or is not uniformed as yours. I just can';t seem to build a wall
@@yevetteseeger9391 having your walks flair out is not unusual. you need to push in more from the outside and less from the inside. Keep our outside hand from drifting wide.
Keep your cylinder going straight up is so important. Do not let if flair, keep it straight. When it starts to flair fix it before it gets too far. Also, keep your wheel speed at medium or a little slower. Too fast will make your cylinder flair out. Look at my wheel speed in the video and go a little slower than I do.
You're an exceptionally good teacher. It's like you hear people's questions telepathically and then answer them.

I am so happy you are getting something from the videos. Have fun making pottery.
You are a good teacher, thank you.
Thank you.
This a very informative video, worthwhile viewing. Throwing on plaster batt on a Brent wheel!😮
I love how you just casually move your camera to different angle! Very detailed explanations too!

@@JohnHasegawaCeramics wow very creative! thanks for sharing!

Glad it was helpful!
So appreciate your explanations of form. "A little means a lot!" So grateful for your teaching!
You are so welcome!
You are excellent explaining your process. Thank you!
I am glad you enjoyed the video. I hope you make some awesome bottles.
Thank you, you’ve highlighted everything I’m doing wrong when trying to get a narrow neck, then followed with what I should be doing 👏👏

Wonderful! I am so happy you are enjoying the videos. I will post more soon.
Love your demos, and just as Bonnie I also enjoy your sound effects (wohoo 😆). You look like your having so much fun, and it’s contagious 😄
Glad you like them!
Great demo. You do little sound effects when talking just like I do and I think it ads a sense of fun to the demo. Boop. Woohoo.
Thanks so much! 😊 I love making sound effects. I am often doing them without knowing.
Thank you! :)
You're welcome!
As I build a wall when I pinch or push the bottom and loosen near and at the top the clay fans out or breaks in pieces.
I love your videos but I am having a difficult time building a wall as a beginner, do you have a video?
Can you be more specific about what you are asking? Are you talking about when you are on the pottery wheel?

Hi sir your clay is different from hereb in cebu
I am using a b-mix type clay - it is a clay with ball clay in it.
@@JohnHasegawaCeramics ah OK OK it's a bolclay
Thank you for this video. I'm curious though as to how tall that cylinder was after your last pull, before you started to alter the pot?
a little over 12 inches is my guess. Thanks for watching.
