Today I wedged up a bunch of porcelain that's been laying around in various plastic bags. I decided to go ahead and make a video of how I turn my ten pound jars. Now, I understand that watching a video of jar making isn't high drama, but I explain a bit of what goes through my head as I'm throwing, so maybe someone will find it useful.
As I mention in the video, I expand these a bit the next day when they are stiff enough to hold up without collapsing...
Oh, it's plenty of high drama for me! It really helps to hear your thought process- definitely some new things for me to focus on next time I am at the wheel.
ReplyDeleteThanks~
I have been newly introduced to your blog and love it. I had my kids sit through this throwing process (wanna see how a pottery jar is made)? Love your commentary and hearing your voice brings back fond memories of my childhood summers at Nappanee. I too am "making it" as an artist. Check out MY blog at www.coriekline.blogspot.com, although I need to post more often. Wanna do video demos too, a goal for 2011.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I'm saving up for one of your acorn lid casseroles, so don't stop making them.
ReplyDeleteAnd say "Hi!" to Dar for me.
