Many thanks. The right pace, gentle voice with space to take in what you’ve said and some valuable explanations of why to twist, taper, spread fingers etc etc.

I’m going to attempt to make a dip pen from clay by forming a coil. Thanks for the video.

Thank you. It was useful

That was interesting! Just one thing though: air pockets don't cause explosions, moisture does ;)

Is there a quick way to dry out your wooden board if it gets too wet and sticky?

[@artdorgallery2888]

Hi where did you buy the cutter you used on the coil please , your videos and information are excellent thank you

[@ThePotteryWheel]

Hi, I bought it about 20 years ago! It's just an old metal sculpting tool. But you could use a clay knife or an ordinary knife :)

[@gracielasabarros1853]

Clever!

My god it’s so simple but I struggle so bad! 😂 cracking, flattening, finger marks. I go insane!

[@ThePotteryWheel]

I think finger marks and imperfections are part of the charm and appeal of hand built pottery 🙂
