Hahaha. You make it sound so simple! That’s because you have many years of experience. Whoa be it to the person who believes it’s that simple. They have a lot of disappointments coming…..they need to watch your full videos. They are amazing

[@deMibPottery]

Thanks. Disappointments is a step to success :-)

What type of clay is this? I wonder what it looks like while fired. It must be really nice❤

[@deMibPottery]

Its from G&S in Germany - 551

I admit I was confused for a moment when you said you were shaving it with your ribs.

Yeah, and playing the piano is just pressing on the keys. It takes a while to learn to do this.

[@deMibPottery]

Everything takes practice to master but its not that hard to get started with pottery

[@DirtyGirlCharlie]

I got a bowl on my second try, today I think I’ll work on perfecting things. It’s a bit less challenging than piano I imagine.

Do you have tips on pulling? I struggle with it so much i can never do it right.

[@deMibPottery]

Mostly just a question of practice. Also, use enough water to minimize friction can help. And go slow! :-)
