As a student who's struggled to grasp the absolutely insane mental gymnastics my instructor puts us through, thank you so much for your sense of humor and your helpful tips! Also I LOVE that black and gold glaze on the cup in the intro!
So mature, informative and educational. :) I hope high schools will use your tutorials... You are talented, funny and entertaining. I love your original sayings.... like... "Potter Tip" and your sense of humor....... So, anything can be a "cup", but if you put a hole in the bottom... it's a planter............ ;}
I recently told all three of my ceramics classes I attend to subscribe and follow your videos or the kiln gods would punish them. So lets hope they listened.
Sorry this may not be a beginner question, but how do we get people to buy a cup? or beaker? or what ever you call them, a mug without a handle. I hate making mugs with handles. A cup like form, something to drink out of without a handle, it must be the most used beverage utensil in the home, often even made out of plastic, why would you drink out of that? The big question is how do we get people to buy a cup ???????
Make them functional as well as visually interesting. , Go to places where people want them, tables, craft fairs, you gatta our yourself out there. But first..... Get good at making them.
You probably have a whole years worth of consumer info now but I would say I don’t gravitate towards cups because they feel too heavy and don’t hold enough liquid. This is because if I want a glass of water I’m going to want more water than I would say coffee or tea. Also you drink water differently than a hot drink. I hold the mug and drink at a different less laborious angle than I would a cold drink of that makes sense.
A normal teacup is about 300 g, yes I would suggest starting with about 500 or 600 g though if you're a beginner just to get a hold of the weight. You also end up trimming a little bit of clay off but once you get proficient at throwing it takes around 300 g.
I wonder all those names you keep saying, do you actually know those ppl or those just some random names you are throwing out as you are doing the lesson? 🤣🤣
Okay I think your camera angle is messing with my eyes because I could swear that all those cups were super lopsided even though I watched them made and know they couldn't be.
So where do you drink your espresso from? Huh? HUH?!! If it's "I don't drink espresso" or "shotglasses", then it's a total frowny face from me. A TOTAL FROWNY FACE!!! :((( Small cups are cups, yo! Ok, I'm not actually that keen on the taxonomy of ceramics. Great content, keep it up!

True
Thanks for the lip edge ideas!
I am watching yr video in 2022. They are fantastic because you explain a lot of details
People who appreciate the extra in-depth explanation > people who Skip around the video looking for one piece of information without the context.
good points to consider, when i can eventually get to this stage.
Thank you Dante,you are a star..very helpful
you must pull pots in your sleep man. Excellent throwing!
Hello Dante, May I ask what kind of sponge are you using while you are pulling up the cylinder?
What is good amount (weight) of clay to make a cup for practice?
I recently told all three of my ceramics classes I attend to subscribe and follow your videos or the kiln gods would punish them. So lets hope they listened.
The kiln God's vengeful. They remember names
“Kyle!” “Ashley” “Brenda!” 😂😂 I love watching your videos!
I like the belly cup shape haha I have some studio time tomorrow and I’m excited to practice

Hi. How much earth do you need for a cup? 300 gms? Thank you
A normal teacup is about 300 g, yes
I would suggest starting with about 500 or 600 g though if you're a beginner just to get a hold of the weight.
