learning a lot with Ann. she validates processes and "tricks" i have discovered while refining them for me. her playful manner and skilled, beautiful hands are pure joy to watch. i make note of the tips and to me she is a wonderful teacher.
Wonderful video. I have been throwing for a couple months and finally understand the ribs that came in my basic tool kit. Thank you and I enjoyed your humor 😜
Can not say enough about your funny pottery humor!!! Great video! Do you use Bmix clay? Just curious.... I’m so glad I found your videos, I need all the help I can get especially when it comes to throwing on the wheel..... How do you keep your mugs so perfectly round? I think I put the handle on to soon causing the distortion.... Again that’s for brightening my morning with your videos
Hi Connie. Thanks for watching the video. I actually prefer Standard English Porcelain #365. It is smooth (no grog) and the cool white color is preferable for my style of decorating. I actually did a series of video workshops ($15-$20 per workshop for about 2 hours each) where I give you all my suggestions on supplies etc... and walk you through projects. ...vimeo.com/showcase/6725318
Enjoyed the video and the information you shared. Some sound intrusion at the end, was that a version of pottery tiddlywinks. Do you ever use the rib NSW or ENW?
Hi Freddie. I am glad you liked the video. sorry about the sound intrusion. perhaps You Tube is still processing the video???.... As far as the rib direction goes, usually I just got N to S and E to W. Probably couldnt hurt to rib extra directions :-)
Hi Lynsey. When I am using the rib to just smooth the outside of the clay,, I find that I dont need support on the inside. the clay is already trying to gravitate outwardly against the rib. If I am ribbing clay on the inside of the piece, I will support the clay on the outside to keep gravity from pushing the clay out. Give it a try :-)
Thanks Ann, always good to remember how to use your tools that you have 🎉😊
Loved the video! Treat tips and fun! Humor in pottery is a must, without it, after many years, you’ll turn back into a lump of clay:)!
Well said Ruti! Glad you enjoyed it!
Watch out George! LOL
Haha. Im glad you enjoyed that. WE tried to turn a relatively dry subject into something a little entertaining :-)

Wow I was looking for a good knive for my tomatoes, finally found one!
Great advice! Wish I'd seen this weeks ago. I have been overzealous with the metal rib on more than one occasion 😅
You’ve made video directly responding to all the questions in my head!

I always call the metal ones, the rib of death. I swear you could bleed out with one of those things!
Ha! There Will Be Blood!

Can you also use the slurry to make slip?
absolutely! Thanks!

No apology needed for the chuckle at the end Ann, thanks for sharing.
@@freddiemoretti8456 Oh, tiddlywinks....It was late when I read that last night Freddie, I got it, hahaha. I am glad you liked that. :-)
I've never seen a rib being held with two hands and no support to the pottery piece
Hi Lynsey. When I am using the rib to just smooth the outside of the clay,, I find that I dont need support on the inside. the clay is already trying to gravitate outwardly against the rib. If I am ribbing clay on the inside of the piece, I will support the clay on the outside to keep gravity from pushing the clay out. Give it a try :-)
I Love your jokes hehehehe
