Dan... I never get tired of watching you throw and listening to your voice. You're such a skilled and creative person both as a potter and gardener. Love your channels, your work, and your character :)
I love watching your videos because I see so many little things (such as how you hold and place your hands for shaping) that wind up helping me in my own throwing. I have not had the opportunity to throw much but I simply adore it. Thank you for your videos!
and one question why is there dislikes on this video? there is literally nothing wrong with this video it is just a man doing something he is passionate about and wants to share it with the people adventurous enough to look for it on UA-cam
I find it so relaxing to watch this. You won't stop amazing me with your videos. It's like magic to me how you can do this (from the looks of it) with such an ease
Is there a chance you could show your pots when they have been fired? then we could see the colours and decoration you have put on them. oh I hope your plot is drying out now, thanks Dan.
I wish to thank you for your UA-cam Station. Lovely work, been watching all afternoon. Now all I need are $'s to get my own wheel, kiln, everything for a home studio. Love the craft, have several of my own pieces from college a few years back. Might just go back to school to be able to use the studio.
i watch your videos just to relax myself from all the tensions i have in the day .... and your skill is the best ... thanks for your wonderful videos...
HI Dan. Happy New Year. Thats a nice looking ginger jar. Beautiful proportions.Have you ever done a video showing us around your workshop? I would love to see it. Cheers.
I've been throwing for a year now. I just started watching your videos a few days ago. And I love them! Your hand positions have helped me so much! I have adopted them haha. Thank you!
+Ingleton Pottery I tried the apple you made a while back. But didn't turn out right. My teacher in high school showed me your videos and I fell in love with pottery. Thank you for so many great ideas
Un buen dominio de su técnica, la habilidad y destreza de sus manos nos permitir ver la elaboración de este frasco o anfaro de cerámica en crudo con arte y creatividad. Bello verdad.
Could you possibly show us the tool you use for trimming off wet clay from the bottom of a freshly thrown pot? The pointed metal thing? I had something similar and I'd like to make another, but I'm wondering about the cut angles of the tool?Thanks much, love your videos.
Awesome.. Ive tried working with clay and mine always dries to fast. I have put lots of water on it and it still dries out. You make it look soo easy.. Great Job
Lovely piece. Would also enjoy seeing your fired work from posted video creations. Question: Do you form your own trimming tools? I haven't seen the ones you use before but like them and the results you get. They remind me of a larger version of an old fashioned soft drink opener.
Very nice. You make it look so easy..such talent! How long have you been a potter? Hope the rainy weather has let up a bit in your area. Here in the Pacific Northwest we have had record amounts of rainfall this winter. It has been pretty miserable. Getting a break from it the past week. Enjoyed the video.Thanks!
I absolutely love the way you pull your sides up. Man I wish I could do them like that. I've learned a lot from you and the way you work. Do you ever use a rib? Like for anything?
watching Potter making videos is like is like having blue balls: a lot of excitement and fun without an actual finish. great piece but I really want to know what it looks like after firing.
I have to tell the truth--I've binge watched his videos. So relaxing and inspiring to get my hands dirty. All he has to say now in a future video is "Winter is coming" and I'll be a happy girl. #SeanBeanaccent 😍
Hello! how are you? I love your videos and your work! I would like to know what material are the plates that you put red on the potter's wheel, to exchange the pieces? Thanks a lot! (Lorena from Argentina)
This is so awesome, I love art and hopefully our art teacher will let us have a go on the Pottery wheel. Great job with this and keep up the good work :D J10 P.S: You have just earned a new subscriber!
You're so confident on the wheel, probably from how competent you are, very encouraging. What is the sound of running water in the background of all your videos? It's not the blowing wind, it's dripping water...?
+thpt I hear the sound of the wheel running, which could sound like dripping water, and then he dips his hands in a bowl of water intermittently while he is throwing.
Ingleton Pottery is it possible to order a pot from you where the inside is glazed in red/terracotta color but the outside remains in its natural state. And, with a lid of course. Thank you.
Different areas of the world use water differently when throwing. Potters in Scotland tend to use a lot. In America, it varies but potters use more water there than in Japan. Japanese potters use only enough water to create a slurry, then wet their hand and the clay using the slurry. Hope that helps to explain it a little. Regardless of where a potter is though, they tend to use a method they were taught. ;-)
I've been trying to practice centering the clay on the potter's wheel, and its been very difficult for me to keep it sticking and centering it on to the wheel, is there any tips you can give me to help with centering?
I usually smack the clay (for beginning, just make sure you're using properly wedged clay and make it a sphere before smacking it down so you don't have an air bubble trapped, that's usually what causes it to come up) down on the bat or wheel and then go around the edges with my finger to push it down and seal it to the bottom, then I'll begin using water to wet the clay and go over the edges again to make sure it well sealed, and then before I begin pulling up at all, I push down first to help create the seal better. Practice with this a lot and if you find you're still having issues, try dampening your wheel or bat but NOT the clay.
I'll try and rewrite that a lil easier: 1. Take a ball of properly wedged clay that isn't wet (as in water dripping off of it), but still easily moldable. 2. Smack (enough force to make a smacking sound but don't obliterate the clay) the clay on the wheel. 3. Press down slightly on the clay and then press down the edges of the clay where it meets the bat/wheel so you can make a proper seal between the clay and the bat/wheel. 4. You can start using water now for centering but push down before you pull the clay up to be safe. And if that doesn't work out well for you, try wetting up the bat/wheel a bit before you smack down the clay, but DONT WET YOUR CLAY, otherwise it won't stay at all.

I love ginger jars, this is great

A.) Humans suck.
I find it so relaxing to watch this. You won't stop amazing me with your videos. It's like magic to me how you can do this (from the looks of it) with such an ease
+Eefje Merckx Thank you, I've had a lot of practice though.
Eefje Merckx look up asmr
Absolutely amazing. This makes me miss working on the wheel so much. Thank you for letting me live through your work!
Is there a chance you could show your pots when they have been fired? then we could see the colours and decoration you have put on them. oh I hope your plot is drying out now, thanks Dan.
+Paul Woolley I've done a bit of a slideshow of some of the glazed pots.
I'll post it up soon.
What Type Of Clay Do You Use ? And What Brand Is It ?
Thanks, I love that you comment as you go along about what you're doing and why.
So mesmerizing to watch you turn a pile of clay in something that beautiful with such an ease! Hats off to you sir!
I wish to thank you for your UA-cam Station. Lovely work, been watching all afternoon. Now all I need are $'s to get my own wheel, kiln, everything for a home studio.

thought you was going to get your jumper as part of the pot when pulling: LOL
very nice pot Dan, thanks for showing us.
i watch your videos just to relax myself from all the tensions i have in the day .... and your skill is the best ... thanks for your wonderful videos...
REALLY? THIS IS SO COOL

So relaxing to watch how the shapes form! Like this a lot! Wonderful work!
I really enjoy watching you work. It has taught me a lot of stuff as I throw pottery
Your work is so beautiful and inspiring! It's a pleasure to watch x
How could you dislike this video?! This helps me sleep so much no joke, I love it. So calming!
Jackface watch asmr

Rain on the roof! Nice background sound.
Oh, Just found the video you posted describing your trimming tools... Thanks!
I've been throwing for a year now. I just started watching your videos a few days ago. And I love them! Your hand positions have helped me so much! I have adopted them haha. Thank you!
Absolutely amazing ❤️
You have inspired me and now I am going to do this as my job😄😄😄😄
Good luck with your new job then :D :D
I love learning from your videos. And I am going to try some once I get me a new wheel.
+beth savage Give it a go, Thanks.
+Ingleton Pottery I tried the apple you made a while back. But didn't turn out right. My teacher in high school showed me your videos and I fell in love with pottery. Thank you for so many great ideas

I love watching you throw... do you ever periscope? potters of periscope is huge right now. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
I'd love to see the finished product at the end.
Nice job looks good
I love your videos !!!!!!!!!!!!
I want one of these.. fantastic!

How fast does that wheel spin it looks very fast and fun

great piece but I really want to know what it looks like after firing.
that's amazing plus pottery making people have such beautiful hands.. wait.. sorry that was a weird thing to say..
I like your voice and commentary, not too much and clear and relaxed. Just wonder if you talk to yourself as you work even if not recording.
I have to tell the truth--I've binge watched his videos. So relaxing and inspiring to get my hands dirty. All he has to say now in a future video is "Winter is coming" and I'll be a happy girl. #SeanBeanaccent 😍
Love your vids!
+Haitham Bilbeisi Thank you, I'll keep them coming.
Hello! how are you? I love your videos and your work! I would like to know what material are the plates that you put red on the potter's wheel, to exchange the pieces? Thanks a lot! (Lorena from Argentina)
Do you have an online store? I live n the US but I'm dying for one of your salt pots
Do you ever have problems with S cracks when you do not cut off your piece until after it has dried some? Beautiful piece as always.
Question: when you glaze this - how do you fire it? With the lid on - or separately?
Separately so it doesn't stick!
Wow, amazing
ugh it's so pretty
This is so awesome, I love art and hopefully our art teacher will let us have a go on the Pottery wheel. Great job with this and keep up the good work :D

P.S: You have just earned a new subscriber!
Your clay seems so much easier to handle than the clay I'm provided at school...
Have you ever tried small, decorative objects?
You're so confident on the wheel, probably from how competent you are, very encouraging. What is the sound of running water in the background of all your videos? It's not the blowing wind, it's dripping water...?
+thpt I hear the sound of the wheel running, which could sound like dripping water, and then he dips his hands in a bowl of water intermittently while he is throwing.
Maybe you're hearing the camera adjusting? But it's very faint..
It's in almost all of his videos, and you can hear it only while the wheel is off and it's quiet.
thpt it's that tub refilling with watet
i love your work.i wish you would make one for me
Hey love the videos man! Where'd you get that trimming tool? never really seen one like that, Thanks :)
+BoneChillinMusic He makes his own tools. I believe there are a few videos where he mentions how to make them.
+microiguana Thank you! Just the video :)
Do you paint your pottery or do you sell them all natural? I love watching your videos - it's so relaxing! You're inspiring me to take lessons!
You are my favorite person
+Jackson Eckendorf Have you seen Dan's allotment channel?

Ingleton Pottery is it possible to order a pot from you where the inside is glazed in red/terracotta color but the outside remains in its natural state. And, with a lid of course. Thank you.
gladius187 yes
could you tell me from where did buy the tools and the machine please ?
Why do you sponge the outside? Does it smooth it out or you removing water?
Yes new video! :D
AWESOME 🤙
I know you have to put water on the clay,but DAMMNN!!! I didn't know THAT much water!!?!!😦😧😯😶

so im taking a pottery class in highschool and when ever i start to pull up to make the pot taller it thins out and rips apart can you help me?
I've been trying to practice centering the clay on the potter's wheel, and its been very difficult for me to keep it sticking and centering it on to the wheel, is there any tips you can give me to help with centering?

+Olivia Ly I've done a few videos on centering.
Have a look through my videos for "Centering" and it may help.
Thanks.
thanks mr. :) I'll watch those.
We're do you buy your clay?
Hey isn't that a bit narrow at the top to be a cookie jar
It is a ginger jar :)
Jetstream 10 no its not
The title says "Making a pottery ginger jar". But ok, I guess it could be used as a cookie jar too.
Paul Woolley said one month ago that you have a plot of clay. Is it true?
