Carlton Ball once cautioned against pounding the clay like this as he knew several potters who lost the feeling in their hands from practicing this technique.
wow all your videos are amazing, even some of the best potters i know have tiny geometrical flaws before trimming, but you work the clay like magic. looks virtually perfect right off the wet stage !!
@supersummersalts in china they spin the opposite way from what we use in the states. most china-made wheels have an option to switch the direction of the spin. in response to your second question, if you look closely he isn't using much water, which is probably the reason there isnt much splatter, and he's very clean with his hands (cleans clay off after each period of touch on the piece)
Not only is he good, notice that the wheel is going clockwise. Most wheels in America move counter-clockwise. So, the way he is throwing is backwards for the way most people are taught in the U.S.
Gotta love how he wipes his brow after shaping the clay with his fist. Almost like he's thinking, "oof, at least the hard part is done now". This guy is awesome.

I've ALWAYS wanted to make pottery but..... I don't enough patience because I'm always so excited to see what it'll turn out to be then when I'm done with it I'll regret to EVER starting to make it = (
it was traditionally a piece of leather i think. a piece of wet folded paper towel works alright for a little while. a piece of rubber like from a bike tube works very well. i don't remember what they're called.
@elitemathlete If it were not for pottery, many of our ancestors would have died because they would not have had any place to store their water or food when traveling. Pottery was the starting point for ideas like the use of plastic and glass to make bottles and other commodities that help us live comfortably everyday.
Yes, I guess im young, and en route, studying to become an art teacher. You look at art practically. A way that helps others accumulate wealth but i'm more on the educational side. Art IS a depiction of the artist's personal expression. If the motive for the end product is the right one. Maybe you should change your mindset.
It was complicated for me to put the clay onto the wheel right in the middle when i first tried it in my sophomore year. I luv pottery but the clay seems not to like me! :(
I have 2 questions. One is it just me or is the wheel going the opposite way then the ones in the states? Second, how did he do that without getting clay all over himself? I'm caked after just making a tea cup.
when u say just started, do u mean just got a wheel and clay and all that? because i really want to start, would u mind telling me how much ur wheel was and if u got a kiln and if u didnt, how are u firing the peices?
Personal expression doesn't put food on the table. Artists need to eat too. I have seen so many aspiring artists fail miserably on welfare and working deadbeat jobs, because they can't find patrons to fund their passion. I almost went down that path as well so I speak from realistic experience. Rich people don't buy art that depicts the artist's self expression, they buy art that depicts theirs and allows them to show it off. BTW good luck becoming an art teacher, when so many more are willing.
@elitemathlete Hypothetical situation: You leave the last bottle of water in the sun in the middle of the desert. The bottle is made of plastic. The plastic in the bottle heats up and releases carcinogenic substances into your last source of water for miles. Alternate hypothetical situation: You lave the last bottle of water in the sun in the middle of the desert. The bottle is made of ceramics and already glazed. The ceramics heat up and nothing happens to your last source of water for miles.
@HanakoFujita well yea if you throw the clay from above your head lol i only have the clay 3 inches or so above the wheel when i slam it down... it works just the same for me
Art is definitely not bullshit. Without art, there will be nothing in this world. If you judge art as bullshit just because the potter did not center the clay or handmade pieces cannot be perfect, clearly you have forgotten that there are many other genres of art. And that means, you have no right to immediately rule out that art is rubbish since your knowledge of it is so little.
I have been doing this on and off for a long time. I would suggest finding a good school to take lessons and letting them fire for now. Get your technique down before you invest a lot of money. I have a wheel and I have my pieces fired at the school

that was terrific, i've never seen anyone throw like that. so fluid not one wasted motion.
all i can say is WOW. I'm stunned too. Don't be fooled! This is harder than he makes it look!!! This guy is a master!!!
Notice how little water he uses and how he works the slip back into the clay. Simple, clean and nice.
He has magical powers!!!! WOW he should have is own TV show!!!!
Carlton Ball once cautioned against pounding the clay like this as he knew several potters who lost the feeling in their hands from practicing this technique.
It's so mesmerizing to watch! he is one with the clay!
This guy is amazing!! very little waste and he is so clean!
vyck6977 I was thinking the same thing.
wow all your videos are amazing, even some of the best potters i know have tiny geometrical flaws before trimming, but you work the clay like magic. looks virtually perfect right off the wet stage !!
dat amazing! he didn't even need 2 cut off any clay 2 make it prefect! lets hope i could do da same soon
No splash tray, no apron... No slop :) I'm impressed.
I could watch all day.
Yes, pretty much a shifter. It's to change the speed. If he's making something delicate, he'll slow the work down so it doesn't fly apart :)
I can watch this all day...
So great to see this being done in real-time, great job!
oh my god!!! that's hands down the most amazing thing I've ever seen in my life! I wonder if I'll ever get that good...
This is so relaxing. I wish there were more of these vids!
pottery making is so magical!!

i swear i can just play with pottery all day if i had the tools
that guys a beast! what a big ashtray in the beginning

I don't understand a word you're saying, but this is awesome!
I don't know how old I was but I tried doing this but bc it was spinning so fast my hands kept slipping off! they make it look so easy.
IHazFrendz 454 it takes practice my friend🙂🙂😌😌

the vase was impressive, nice crafting skills.
How did he get if of without squashing it?
It looks so fragile to me.

That is amazing. He make it seem like itz so easy 2 do. I would have had a ball of clay on the floor trying 2 do that..lol

Awesome! you make it look easy

Very impressive and mesmerizing to watch

Turn the volume up, and skip to 2:56.
After that, close your eyes.
So smooth!

Fantastic!
uve obviously been doing this longer then ive been walking this earth
This potter is incredible. Anyone know who he is?
I'm curious- what type of clay do you use in these videos? I would love to work with some.
so how did he manage to keep so much height when pressing the sides out?
unbelievable!
So funny! Is a solid of revolution.

Wow he has skill :D
Just like anything else in this world ... Practice and then you'll get better at it !l
You forgot the windows and ceiling!

@kodal93
If you never left the wheel you could do that.
mikevh68, dude. The counterclockwise is for righthanded and clockwise for lefthanded :P
I know cus I do this leftystyle
same here!
Oddly satisfying...
2:54 sounds like you know what...;D
how many pound of clay did you use
He didn't even get his pants dirty!
Is that a hand shifter on his pedal? Someone enlighten this potter.
magic...
damn hes good!!!!
@pepperannziggi I never suggested it wasn't.
3:40 dat sound.
@supersummersalts answer 1 with 2
On the bowl wasnt it a bit dry
@docpirate46 That's why they call him Harry Potter.
@micmoable
Thats awesome!
it looks so fucking easy when a master does it.
i tried, believe me. thats hard
رائع وبديع
I actually came here to prove that the earth isn't flat.
Foarte tare
U,gviklk
what kind of pottery wheel you're using?
We call "Rokuro"
to help center it
Show us how it's done, post your video.
He uses "The Force"
while it spins is his wetting his hands with water or oild?
+Johnathan Larin water, i guess
Water. If the clay being thrown is too dry it sticks and smooth chatters, which is when it begins to vibrate loudly in your hands.
ikr
bro, i've tried pottery and its wwwwaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy harder then this dude makes it look
look at his for arm muscle at 3:15 o.0
I have been doing this on and off for a long time. I would suggest finding a good school to take lessons and letting them fire for now. Get your technique down before you invest a lot of money.
I have a wheel and I have my pieces fired at the school
