Throwing “Deformed Oil Bottle” on the Potter’s Wheel @alchemyceramic

- Today's project is a "Deformed Oil Bottle."
Oil bottles are part of my regular lineup. The crucial factor for me is weight; I aim to make the bottle as lightweight as possible since it will later be filled with oil.
Crafting a straight-shaped bottle is relatively straightforward, as I can trim it down to slim it.
However, this bottle is deformed to create a shape that's easier to hold, so the main part cannot be trimmed.
This project serves as excellent practice for creating a cylinder as thin as possible.

I wish you were my personal teacher. You have such an organized method for throwing.
Thank you for your kind comment Lisa😊. It really cheers me up❤️
Your videos reflect your clean approach to throwing and design. Your instruction is clear and represents the base instruction I learned many, many years ago - “If you are not centred, your clay will not centre.” I just love the sense of calm you bring to the experience of wheel work.
Love your videos. Thank you for sharing! Such a master!
Thank you for your supportive comment😊. I’m so glad I can share my experience with others potters who I haven’t met ! This is awesome.
You are an excellent teacher. Thank you

Such great skill. Awesome :)
Thank you Malcolm😊 please let me know how your pottery is going.
@@AlchemyCeramic I find it very good therapy. I make pinch pots at home now on my kitchen table, as these are the least messy outside of class. Sometimes slabs as well. I have so many projects I want to do! I only have done limited work on the wheel I think it is a much higher level of skill. It is so cool to see an advanced version of what can be made with the cylinder. I went to a course and made a small coffee cup and it is so hard to make the side straight and not too much clay at the bottom! I am trying to let myself be more creative in 2024, as for a long time I just worked with no hobbies. So much to learn :)
It sounds great what you are doing 😃. There is no end for this journey ❤️. Every corner there is something inspires me. I think both of us are trapped in this happy magic! Let’s make more then❗️
Another wonderful video. I learn so much by watching you. A question: I often see you turning your left hand upside down and I’m curious why this is important, rather than keeping it right side up and using the thumb. Thank you for your calm, detailed explanations.
Thank you for your question 😊. The reason is I need to keep my Gyubera at 6 or 5 o’clock position. This is the best steady position for my right hand to keep Gyubera steady and straight for me. I can fix my right arm tighter. In this case I can’t use my left hand in right way up.
alternatively I tried to hold the Gyubera by left hand and keep it at 6 or 5 o’clock position and use my right fingers to brin it clay up but I’m right handed so keeping long Gyubera by left hand wasn’t very steady.
I hope this explanation makes sense. I think it is a matter of the practice so whichever the way the thrower can feel comfortable is important. Please try both 😃
@@AlchemyCeramic thank you. That makes sense.
