In this video we address some simple considerations when trimming a bottle form. This was a demonstration from our 2nd Monday night class - Fall II, 2023

This video is from the second Monday night class - going over how I throw a bottle with a skinny neck - how I throw in sections and stabilize each section with heat before I move on to the next part.

Our second Monday night class, we covered making catch trays as well as how to make lids. They are very similar so I demonstrated both.

First night of our pottery classes - just addressing some of the basics

This is what we covered on night 4 of a 6 week class on making table top totems. The pieces will be finished with a crystalline glaze but we first need to mix the glue material we use to mount each piece to a riser and catch tray. Some of the students were traveling for Thanksgiving so I wanted to make a video of what we covered during the class. Some of this is more of a review for students wh...

This video explores a slightly different way of making the riser and catch tray separately - there are many benefits of doing it this way but I still prefer throwing them as one piece. Check out this demonstration and you pick the way you like best - as long as you have a solution that catches the glaze run off and it is easy to remove from the riser - both ways work well.

In this video, I show you how I trace the bottoms of freshly trimmed pieces so I have a reference for when I throw the riser and catch trays.

Just a recap on how to make risers for our pieces we intend to glaze with crystalline glazes

Dick and Rocco hosted a small Christmas dinner for a few friends. The trees and Christmas decorations were so beautiful I just had to capture some video and put this together - sort of like a video Christmas card. The music in the background is from his grandfathers Christmas tree. Dick gets so much joy out of decorating this antique tree with authentic vintage ornaments from years gone by.

This is a repeat of night 3 - with a little more form. I have tried to eliminate the sound of the hair dryer for more pleasurable listening.

We get so caught up in "how to make" that we sometimes forget how important the finishing process can be. Trimming is one of the very important steps in making an acceptable piece spectacular. I hope you find this demonstration beneficial.

This is a video of what we covered in the 3rd Monday night pottery class at the Dunedin Fine Art Center. The previous 2 sessions were exercises leading up to throwing a bottle form all in one pass. I hope you find this video helpful in your quest to throw skinny necked bottles.

This video helps the student see how making a vase can set you up for learning how to leave the right amount of clay at the top when creating a tall neck bottle. This demonstration precedes the final destination of making a skinny necked bottle.

This is the final video for this exercise, it is the last step in making this two part bottle - attaching the two pieces. I hope you enjoy this and give it a try.
