I'm always stunned by how clean your wheel head stays! I'm new (as in one-class-at-the-wheel new) and I looked like a swamp monster by the end of the session. While I'm not planning on removing the pan (teacher would kill me!), I'll try and stop turning it into a swimming pool next time. Thanks for the helpful, detailed videos :)
That's awfull, the handle should be closer to the spout and aimed up slightly, the spout likewise, otherwise you won't get much tea in before it's pouring out, the whole thing will be very heavy by the look of it, a real clunker, no offence but really
I'm really happy!!! I watched this video about a week ago, and in my high school art class I got to make a functional teapot, and I'm working on 3 more!!! Thank you so much!! It feels so cool having people looking at my teapot!!!
I watch a lot of your videos and they are very helpful. Could you tell us the weight of your clay before you make each piece. It helps to have an idea of who’s clay it takes to make different things.
That was a mountain of information! Thank you for sharing! I am so glad that you showed how to throw a spout. I usually build mine, but have been trying to throw my spouts. Your explanation made so much more sense :)
This was great! I’ve been wanting to try to make a teapot for a long time but always felt the idea to be a bit too daunting. With these tips I feel more comfortable in my ability to make this work. Thanks so much for all you do, Dante! You’re so helpful!!
Thanks for being such a great resource to new people learning. I just got a wheel a month ago, and your lessons have been amazing. Thanks for sharing to all of us
@@Alakwe shoulda coulda woulda. Donte made "his" side-handled teapot. I agree with side-handled pots I make that the handle should be angled upwards, and the angle between spout and handle should be just under 90 deg. but everyone makes pots their own, and you have to respect it, or you sound like a crotchety old man (spoken as a crotchety 25 year-old potter)!
Thiccccboy teapot! Thanks for the upload! :) Looking forward to your hump-throwing video - though I ended up figuring out how to compensate for not being able to compress the bottoms of vessels as effectively.
Could you please do a video on types of caly. I am a beginner and self teaching myself. I have only tried a very basic clay that has a lot of impurities (i got that from a potter who makes diyas) but yours look lighter and finer. Also, what clay do you use?
I love your channel so much because the videos are recent where as most pottery tutorial videos are from like 2013, and your videos have humor in them so I don't get bored when trying to learn lol. Are you a pottery teacher? And if yes where? I would love to go to a class or so of yours in the future if you have them!
I have absolutely no idea what you mean by the air pocket thing in the spout lol. You didn't make a hole right? Just pushing the inside out? But isn't the water on the bottom of the spout and not air so shouldn't it be on the top of the spout? Confused 🤔
Hey buddy, I have three questions: 1.) How does one use a ceramic tea pot when I have been told that direct flames and pottery are incompatible; and 2-3.) what are those nice-looking brushes you are using with the frosted handles, and where may I acquire them for myself?
my brushes were handed down to me for my master but as far as putting a teapot on the stove you probably shouldn't although I know many people who do. It's really just a nice idea of being able to put the hot water and Brew the tea in there after you boil it in another container
When I got into this I really wanted to make a Chinese herb pot, which is basically a ceramic teapot used for actual cooking. I am told I can't make pots that I apply direct heat. Yet I buy them from China (cheaply made) for 10 bucks. What do you say? You think these cheap ones I buy are made from stoneware and they just assume it will survive for a while so it's good?
I really enjoy watching your videos, but I sometimes watch them when I've got time to sit down with a cup of tea and relax, the problem is the background music is just too relaxing and I've found myself nodding off (sleeping) and I have to keep rewinding the video. Ha ha. However very useful video, and I'm going to make one (with a side handle) this weekend. Question, will the solid handle make the teapot a bit heavy, or could I make the handle hollow, like the spout? Regards. Bob 🇬🇧
you can make it Halo but in my experience it breaks a lot easier because you're handling the entire weight of the teapot on that one portion, that's why I like to make mine a little bit stubby an solid
Usually no, been drinking out of these for a while. I just use free leaf tea. But I also wash my tea pots out after I use it for the day like a responsible adult.
O also forgot to mention. If your useing small tea leaves, make your holes smaller for your filter when making the tea pot :) don't make huuuuuuge holes and be like " OMG, why the tea leaves come through the spout" 0o0
Okay! I suppose a quick rinse would fix it huh 😅 I usually just cut a big hole because I figured that would make it easiest to clean, but it makes sense if you have loose tea for the holes
Also, my Instagram content helps with all that anxiety in the back of your mind. You have inspired me to possibly do a Patreon where I put out some lesson videos and then live classes for patrons. And you thought you were just inspiring pottery?

Is anyone else binging all of Dante’s videos during quarantine???

T
please, what kind of music accompanies the video? 😊❤
you made a left handed pot. my left handed friend always complains that pots are designed for right hand pour. this would make a perfect gift.
So many innuendos.
Ive never seen a teapot with a knob as a handle! How bout showin us how to use it after a kiln opening? Also, love the edits... very laugh-worthy!🤣👍
They're pretty common in Japan! Check out some kyusus on the instagrams! Side-handled teapots are among my favorites.
@@HokiHumby also. I'm my opinion, easier to use .
@@EarthNationCeramics I have to agree w you. It's probably terrible for my skillset but I've only made side handled pots lmao
@@HokiHumby the handle should of been closer to the spout, with more upward rake

Wowza, such easy to understand instructions!
Wow I'd so love to do this! Always wanted to try pottery 😭 trying to take a class soon!
You should! My college offers a class and I'm not even an art student but it's super fun
Hola me encanto tu video aprendí mucho!! Y Lo mejor es que tiene subtítulos ya que no hablo inglés gracias!!!
Your videos are so helpful for a beginner like me.
Are you going to do a class on throwing off the hump? What are the benefits? Also, are you going to do a quality check video?

This is b mixed

Why did you make the channel after attaching the spout? Wouldn’t you have left over clay inside the spout then?
Very Nice teacher.! Well understood.! What kind of sponge do you use to make smooth top of the jar?
It's a nice tea pot, and all, but I'm worried about the size of these holes. I mean... it looks like the tea leaves are going to pass through.

when you pulled out the towel, I thought it was a chicken for a sec 😂😂😂
Hugely helpful! Can't thank you enough!
Gracias maestro. ¿ qué cantidad de barro has utilizado para cada pieza?
Awesome tips thank you. But one you did not get to is glowing the glaze out of the spout, so it does not cover the holes.

is it necessary to put a coil around to secure spout? i hate doing those.
really good and clear, Thank you

Earth Nation Ceramics , thanks for that advice, I think I'll make mine solid then 😄 cheers Bob 🇬🇧
Really because I consider this pottery porn because of the music.
Susan Jaracz , what? I didn't think the music was raunchy, just too relaxing 💭💭💭
@@robertcole1098, not really raunchy... just, well... never mind.
Won't tea get stuck in that lower point in the spout you made for air after pouring? I like the teapot, I'm just genuinely curious 🤔
Usually no, been drinking out of these for a while. I just use free leaf tea.
But I also wash my tea pots out after I use it for the day like a responsible adult.

Oh I’ve been waiting for this!
Hello. So for glazing the inside... You have to poor it right?
Also, my Instagram content helps with all that anxiety in the back of your mind. You have inspired me to possibly do a Patreon where I put out some lesson videos and then live classes for patrons. And you thought you were just inspiring pottery?
I aim to inspire and support art and all the encompasses it ;)
Thank you so much! Very helpful and informative
love it
TEA
This guy gets it
I hope the user of this pot is left handed...
thicc boi
you have said nothing about glazing or painting
That's because this is a how to MAKE a teapot video. If you want glazing you should go to the glaze / glaze review playlist.
this was the roughest pottery work I have ever seen, and you put the handle on the wrong side... :(
would love to see your tutorial video then, since it sounds like you are an expert.
