Low oval basket
Переглядів 3793 роки тому
Inspired by a piece made by Roger Jamison, Rob shows you how to throw and alter an oval form, trim it on foam, and add a low arched handle.
Mug handles
Переглядів 4233 роки тому
Rob shows you how to design, pull, and attach bond-style handles to two different shapes of mug.
Chicken waterer
Переглядів 2893 роки тому
Rob shows you a clever trick to create a closed form with a knob by throwing the knob off the hump, setting it aside, and using it to plug the hole in the almost closed form. You could apply this trick to bird feeders and birdhouses if you don’t have need for a chicken waterer. You also get to meet the flock and see how the finished product works.
Strawberry pot

Rob shows you his take on the strawberry planter with tips for successful layout and cutting of the side pockets.
Cake stand
Переглядів 2,5 тис.3 роки тому
Rob shows you how to throw a cake stand in one piece on the wheel. It is thrown upside down so that the surface against the wheel becomes the top. Rob emphasizes thickness and balance to give you the best chance of a finished product with minimal warping and cracking.
Chip and dip
Переглядів 1,5 тис.3 роки тому
Rob shows you how to throw a chip-and-dip all in one piece from approximately five pounds of clay. Be sure to throw these on a bat since they’re next to impossible to lift off the wheel head.
Sushi tray exercise
Переглядів 1693 роки тому
Rob shows you an exercise to help you create more even, balanced cylinders, and the process produces a fun finished product. The cylinder needs to be perfectly vertical and the top needs extra thickness to balance the excess that naturally remains at the base. Once the cylinder is split open down one side, you have the opportunity to inspect the thickness profile of the wall and to “ground-trut...
Tea bowl
Переглядів 1663 роки тому
Rob shows you how wheel speed to hand speed ratio can impact the appearance and symmetry of a wheel thrown form. Once he gets to the trimming phase of the project, it turns into a total blooper reel, but sometimes it’s good to see what can go wrong, right?
Throwing off the hump
Переглядів 1743 роки тому
Rob introduces the Japanese technique of making multiples from the same larger piece of clay. He shows you how to make a variety of small forms and how to wire them off accurately and efficiently. With one lump of clay, you could make a whole set for a sushi party. Rob also demos his favorite trick for throwing teapot lids off the hump and lifting them without distortion.
Creamer
Переглядів 1303 роки тому
This fun, low-stress project is the perfect antidote if you’ve been feeling intimidated by complex multi-part pots. Rob shows you how to turn a simple cylinder into a nice spouted creamer or sauce pouring vessel.

Trimming the lid and adding handles to a casserole
This video is so helpful, simple and clear! Thanks a million, You are an amazing instructor
Thanks so much. I appreciate the feedback. If you're ever in Athens, GA come check out our studio.
With what do you cut the sodium silicate? water?
Yes, i just use regular tap water. You can experiment with how much to cut it. Not enough and the fissures penetrate really deep and threaten the inegrity of the form. Too little and the crackles are very superficial and a little ho-hum. Start by cutting it more like two parts sodium silicate to one part water and keep adding water a little at a time until you're happy. Do this in a separate container rather than cutting your whole stock so you're not risking too much (not that the sodium silicate is super expensive, but it's always good not to be wasteful). Take care not to get the sodium silicate into your scrap bucket. I just throw away any scraps that have come in contact with it to be on the safe side and not contaminate my reclaim clay.
@@gooddirtclasses8933 Thanks for a detailed response. You are great teacher
Perfect!! Just what I was looking for! Thank you!
You're welcome. Hope you have big success with it.
Thank you! The passion is beautiful. And you are a very good teacher!😊
Aw, thanks. Glad I could help you.
Our ceramic class does not allow the use of torches. Can a very hot dryer be used.
Yes, a heat gun or hot hair dryer would work. I *might* just be a bit of a pyro! Just try to keep the bulk of the hot air away from the edge. The nice thing about the torch is that it is more focused, but a dryer will work. Give it a go and let me know how it works for you. Good luck!
I love chattering and this gave me more room to explore. Thanks!
That's not kohiki
how so?
@@gooddirtclasses8933 It seems that you are calling the sodium silicate technique Kohiki. Here are a couple of videos about kohiki: ua-cam.com/video/lHEf7Vh3UIA/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/BNTMnnS-HrM/v-deo.html
@@1marcelo Cool, thanks very much.
Love the contrast between the inside and outside of that plate. I have been trying to use more texture in my work also.
Looks like the surface of a Pan Dulce bun 🙂
Thank you for your amazing tutorial I'm a bigener and your tutorials help me alot I'm going to try to make my first lid this way.
A tip you might try is to make the lid first. It's often easier to make the pot fit the lid than the other way around.
@@gooddirtclasses8933 thank you for the tip I will try.
Not sure why you are using the sodium silicate. The slip will Crack the same without it and you have not wasted scraps At least it does for me. Is there some other benefit I, not aware of? Will use it in the future if there is benefit.
The surface of the slip and even just bare clay will crack much more dramatically and predictably with the sodium silicate. Concentration will impact the depth of the cracks. I cut it one to one with water as it comes from my supplier. I generally don't generate a lot of scraps with this technique or similar pieces created on the wheel, so not a big issue for me. I agree though that if you get a great result without the need for an additional ingredient...go for it!
Just what I was looking for, thank you
Beautiful pot! Super great tutorial! Thanks for sharing!
I have just started a pottery course and this is the best wedging tutorial I’ve seen.
Thank you so much! Let us know if you have any questions. And, if you need it, I also have a ridiculously long vid on centering, haha. Reach out anytime and happy potter-ing!
Thanks - wondering what the dimensions of the casserole is (prior to bisque fire and after glaze fire).
That one's long gone, but it's sitting on a 14" bat if that gives you an idea of scale. Shrinkage is about 12-13% from fresh to glaze fired.
驚きました。アイオワに居られるとは！私はノースキャロライナ州で趣味で陶芸をしております。毎回楽しく拝見しておりました。これからも楽しみにしております。
Excellent explanation of both wedging methods. Thank you.
It might be a good idea to cut a circle like a quarter inch thick red clay for the foot.Just so it doesn't scratch the surface
That's a great idea. It's also possible to polish the textured surface with wet/dry sandpaper to make it safe for the table surface. Thanks for your comment!
I really love the organic look you achieved here. Thanks so much for your instruction.
Gorgeous technique and tool! I’ll check now to see if you sell your custom chattering tools on your website …?
Very good instructions.
I really like the look of this and how easy it appeared to be to make. I tried making one yesterday on my wheel, but I made the base too thick, forgetting that it wouldn't be trimmed. Then when I tapped it like you do around 6:32, I ended up with a weird, very thick blob of clay on the bottom. I'm going to try it again, but heed your advice to get to a finished thickness on the bottom before continuing.
Sorry I missed your question...I shoot for a wall thickness of 1/4" or maybe a little less and a slightly thicker rim. The bottom should be the same and it's important to use the wood knife correctly to cut away any extra thickness in the outside bottom corner. I modify my wood knife to put all the bevel on the right side so that the side against my pot is completely flush and can guide against the wall of the pot. This can be done with a piece of coarse sandpaper held flat on a table.
awesome video, thank you!
Great video!
Why not make the bowl so the pattern is facing up so you can enjoy it?
You could definitely do that if you were planning to glaze over the texture to render it a bit smoother and more functional. I chose to put it on the outside so I could leave it unglazed.
I’m sure it keeps the water cool in the summer time….
Cool!
I don't have bats which can fasten to the wheel head, so I put them on to damp clay, but how should I then re-centre the bat with the casserole body on it?
I would place it lightly on the patty of clay and tap it on center (tapping the edge of the bat assuming you had the bat well centered when you threw the body). Once satisfied with the centering, you can smack it down with your fist as it spins to secure it to the patty. Those bat pins are mighty handy, I have to admit, but don't let it hold you back.
Rob, such a pro
Thank you very much for the detailed instructions! Enjoy the videos very much! I felt like you just gave me a private pottery lesson, awesome! Keep uploading videos, great job!👍👏🥰
Hello, I loved the video! I had a doubt, if you just pass the silicate and wait for it to dry the texture will arise, or necessarily, do you need to heat it with the torch?
I think you want to heat it with the torch so the surface becomes stiff but the underlying clay is still soft and stretchy. You could probably substitute a hairdryer if you're more comfortable with that. Of course, it couldn't hurt to experiment...it's very possible that I am just an impatient potter who likes to play with fire.
You could also leave a little floor and cut it out later. ...........8.12 5 is 8 1/8
That was so cool!! Thx
Love your videos and how precise you are with your work! Thanks for sharing your Art!
Excellent video. Thank you for the clear instructions. I’m excited to try this technique x
Love the design! About how much do you think the bowl holds once you fired it with shrinkage?
Definitely a lot less than if you just threw it right side up and left it. I'd guess maybe 16floz. I have small dogs so it works great for them and they can't tip it over.
What an excellent tutorial. Not loads of phaffing , but enough info and clear and concise. Thank you
Great tutorial!!!
Very informative
This is a great technique. I saw someone who applied the slip in spirals so the pattern looked really cool.thanks much.
Eine sehr interessante Herangehensweise!😍tolle Oberfläche…ist der Schlicker eingefärbt, oder wurde der aus einem andersfarbigen Ton mit gleichen Eigenschaften gewonnen? Kreativen Gruß!
Muy bello ,muchas grácias.
this looks fun; question: what would happen if you used only the slip and not the s. silicate?
So cool. One of the best of this kind of technique. Taking care of the rim is really impressive.
Thanks so much...that's definitely my favorite part of it too. Feels like magic.
What is the slip formula?
@VB tu commente trop
I'm going to try this! So cool. I don't have chickens but it would make a great waterer for all the birds I get in my backyard. Thank you for the video. You're a great teacher!
Thanks so much. Let me know how it goes!
I just wish we could have seen the final casserole.
Wonderful job of doing this technique! Love it!!! Absolutely gorgeous bowl ❤. Your video is by far my favorite of this info.
Love this and thank you for sharing. The torch doesn’t hurt the wheel head? A little wooden spoon would be a great added touch. How much would you sell this for ?
