In the boat world, that even curve is called a "fair curve".

Thanks for showing how you make this bowl with internal handle

LOVE this tutorial/class. Also love the dog trained to ring the bell to go out. All of my dogs have been ringing the bell since the 80's!

[@judyandrews3664]

Love the puppies!

Your right making plaster batts is a big messy job...I’m going to give your technique a try. Thanks for sharing and explaining it well.

Fantastic. Can't wait to try this. Great explanation and demonstration. Thank you for sharing.

[@margaretfrew6661]

Hi Bill from Australia. As I have some back issues with throwing, I have been doing some hand building, and this last video of yours has given me a lot of thought. All of your videos are so well explained and very easy to follow. Thank you

[@jackilaird4249]

You are a terrific teacher👏👏👏

[@ThePrairieFairymb]

Oh and thank you for the tip with water and throwing. I’m new to the wheel and have realized after watching your video that my problems were caused from drag. Thank you for that too!!!

[@incilakay2303]

Thank you so much🌹🌹👍

[@katiakatiakat]

That was Excellent! I'm new to pottery and loving it so much. You are a great teacher! Thank you for sharing your work :)

[@puck34fan]

Very well explained. Thank you!

[@kwlloyd7]

Thanks Bill for another great video!
As soon as your theme music came on at the end, my Hanna came right over for an ear scratch. 🐶 She’s a 40 lb Goldendoodle, named for the Susquehanna because Lake Otsego, here in Cooperstown, is one of the river’s sources. I’m so glad to have her company, especially these days! She sends her best to your four-footed friends!

[@elainehenderson842]

Great tips for mould making- thank you!!

[@tksmith3698]

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I always learn something watching you.

[@mccarthyhome]

I am so thrilled to have run across a recommendation on facebook about you. You are a talented, generous teacher and right now with quarantine going on a welcome diversion. Thanks so much for posting videos. Would love to do some workshop some day from you!

[@grafkimber]

I Love watching your videos. you always have neat ideas to us to alter your forms. Thank you for sharing!

[@doriscurrie1813]

I love your work, thank you for showing this

[@ThePrairieFairymb]

You take slab building to a level of artistry. By far the absolute best info for how to slab build. New subscriber her and dang it! Now you really have me wanting to buy a slab roller. There’s a used Bailey at my local pottery supplier that I have been eye balling and I’m starting to feel like it’s going to end up coming home with me 😬.

[@BillvanGilderPottery]

Snag that Bailey slab roller, Roberta! You’ll be glad you did. Yup.

[@nikolaiaksnes2924]

[@wilma-gv9ff]

This 'rocked' my world. Great video, so thorough and well explained. I also really love this elegant form. Missing taking your classes! Glad your ribs healed up.

[@jimgreene4923]

That was an excellent presentation. I’m beginning ceramics again, & I’ll use those techniques in my creations. Thank you for sharing both your talents & your conservative views on tools.

[@beatriceportinari6667]

[@connieebinger6343]

Bill, you are such a great teacher. Funny on the amount of water while you were throwing. I was just wondering about it and you put up the text to explain it! Lots of great tips. You always suggest other options too as you go. Love your videos!

[@jstone6575]

[@DreamingCatStudio]

What a stellar video. Your teaching style is so easy to follow. Even though I’m just playing with air-dry clay I was riveted the whole time and will try this technique. By the way kudos to the videographer, also perfect! Thank you.

[@aartmark]

Thank you. You always have some good ideas in your videos.

[@karenmchugh5511]

beautiful to watch, great explanation. thank you

[@cindydelamare895]

Hi Bill! Hope all is well! Quarantine has given us more creativity time! I guess that is a silver lining.
Oh, I never saw that trim tool used that way . That little rib is something I use all the time. It's a go to tool!! Galleries are a fav thing to do . You taught me so much over the years at SNC !
Those were very happy times in my life. Thank you forever!

[@louybee]

Fantastic Demo,...thank you so much!!!

thanks , Bill. I still use the ideas you presented several years ago at workshops in SC.

[@chrisgerhart7259]

Very exact instruction with many ideas to incorporate into my own work, much appreciated!

[@kimbain4368]

As a total newbie and a new subscriber, I'd love it if you told us why you are using each tool, what's the purpose and what you are accomplishing. Love your videos!

[@adrianaraquelmaluf2514]

Me gustó tu trabajo. Muy bien explicado, gracias por compartir.

[@bjornlindberg9779]

Thanks Bill, I have been thinking about making hump mold for a while but the plaster work have been putting me off.

This was such an amazing and informative video - lots of great ideas for tools, explanations for why you did things - thank you!!

[@fritz5701]

[@mikedyck4532]

Thank You that was great

[@shalad4961]

I heard the bells and thought my dogs wanted out 😆

[@imtiazrehmani4313]

ویری نائس بہت ہی اچھی ویڈیو ہے آپ کی میں پاکستان سے ہوں اور میں بھی یہ کام کرتا ہوں

[@CreekRoadPotteryLLC]

Awesome job! Each time I watch one of these awesome videos I realize I need about ten new tools! Haaa!

[@smoothbot]

love your slab work Bill, didn't know you did anything other than throwing :)

[@iselacordero3823]

Thanks for this so clear explanation, we call the mold ¨forja¨ and this is so helpful in handmade ceramic, greetings from Mexico city!

[@coloriinvolodialessandradi3233]

Really beautiful! Thank you

[@freddiemoretti8456]

Enjoyed this instructional video Bill.
Think I will start with one that is around 9" x 6" and work my way up.
Thanks for sharing and stay well

[@michellemccurdy3268]

Thank you Bill!!

[@gabrielabarba3896]

Hermosa tu producción, gracias por compartir el proceso!

[@stormyhudson9334]

Thanks Bill

[@mariseprosdocimo644]

Obrigada pelas dicas, gostei muito de saber que podemos fazer os moldes em argila mesmo!

[@smokertwashington]

Nice thanks bro

[@lyndaashley1805]

Thank you, that was a terrific video!!

[@susanjaffe3014]

Fantastic ‼️

[@lindaflanagan9552]

Thanks so much. I'm wondering if you've had any problems with pieces shaped like this slumping when they're fired. I just made something similar and my teacher tells me I need to use wedges to support it in the kiln.

[@darlenegates4055]

Another great vid!

[@amaiaoihaneder5906]

Hi from spain....nice job.

[@KSCPMark6742]

Now that was an interesting video. Light trimming of the wet clay was new to me, but the potato peeler was a revelation, thank you 🙂 I'm also really interested in knowing how you made the lines in the mold at the 30 minute mark. They are not concentric around the middle in the bowl so they're not made on the mold during trimming. Can you tell more about that detail?

[@hamidMoghtader]

loved it, please put the end music, throughout the video

[@SweetTea-Stephens]

I love your videos!!!!!!

[@Paintspotsandpaper]

First time I’ve watched one of your videos but it certainly won’t be the last! Loved it, and learnt a lot of useful tips. Thankyou so much for sharing.

[@josephcormier7046]

Why not use a blowtorch to partialy dry it, so you can pull it off the mold quickly?

[@bettyleys8157]

Hi Bill, love your work!I was wondering how you glaze the bottom of this bowl without sticking to the kilnshelf?Metal triangels or cookie? It is nice without a foot !
