Textured Surface Pot Demo

Happy New Year to all

Andy

There's something very hypnotic about watching work on the wheel.  I like the ambient music and video quality.        
Is the lip on this pot done the same way in which an oval or circular bonsai pot rim would be done?

Glad you enjoyed it

You have lost me on one part of your question. I don't know what you mean by "Is the lip on this pot done the same way in which an oval or circular bonsai pot rim would be done?". The lip of the pot is created when throwing the pot, and not made separately in anyway.

Thanks, Andy. The video is instructive yet also lyrical. The pot is beautiful.

Yeah - that's what I meant. I've been trying to build slab pots over the past 6 months.
Just ventured into throwing.

best,
Casey

Here is the second part of the demo

Many thanks for watching

If I was throwing a round to distort into an oval then I would throw the lip the same way. If I was coiling an Oval then I would add the lip as a coil then shape. Finally if I was slab building a rectangle then the lip would be added as per the coiled Oval pot

Thanks Andy - most informative and interesting videos

Andy,

Have you ever had issues with wobbly feet after bisque or glaze firing? If so, what steps have you taken to fix the problem?

best,
Casey

Casey

No I have not but if I did then I would use a grinder like a dremel with appropriate fixture

Andy

Good job Andy!

Cheers Dale

I loved watching you work! Beautiful pot, and the music was hypnotic.

Thanks for the kind comments

Always informative to watch someone accomplished at their skill, perform. Glad you posted. If I had a magic wand to wish for something not included, it would have been to have commentary on what was being done and why. thanks

Dick

I totally understand your wish but I can't pat my head and rub my tummy let alone throw a pot and talk at the same time   

Its not excuse though so I will endeavour on my next demo that I do I will do a voice over and add after the work has been done. Glad you found it useful/enjoyable anyway

Regards

Andy

There's a story book my kids liked when they were growing up called curious george. A monket that always wanted to know how and why. maybe i read it too many times to them I understand the explaination and don't feel your alone.....
