One Trick to Help Throwing Shallow Bowls

  • In this weekend's video I'm throwing two shallow bowls, the only difference between them is how much support clay I leave, and this makes a drastic difference to how easy the process is.

    My lumps look *exactly* like the "what not to do* version, and I'm just starting to branch into bowls. A well-timed video! Thank you!

    Perfect timing. I just sat down at my computer after throwing a wider bowl. I intentionally left the bottom wider as you just did. I had brought into the studio a bowl from a maker I admire and sat down and figured out, as best I could, how she made the bowl. Having something in front of me as a visual aid helped in this instance. (I throw porcelain and like the walls, rims to be thin). Love all your posts...!

    As a beginner potter these tips (in your previous video, and here, too) have helped make larger bowls more successful. I will also leave a thicker bottom if I'm going to remove the pot from the bat. One tip I've seen is that you can move some of the clay back down toward the bottom on the inside if you haven't quite got that nice round shape correctly.

    Amazing videos, just getting into pottery and you've been an inspiration. I was wondering if you could do a video and oxidation glazes (in an electic kiln) for those of us that dont have setup that would allow for a gas kiln.

    It is possible to throw shalow bowls of narrow bases using the correct ribb. As long as euler relationship is maintained in the amplitude of the curve, all the lateral walls in their extention will be held perfectly if using the correct ribb (in nature, the intersection of trunk and branches of the trees are an example of that). Handmake ribbs with progressive curve amplitude taking advantage of Burmester templates or french curve rule.

    @marypeterson1011 Рік тому +2

    I notice you throw the ball of clay down on the seams created by wedging instead of on its side. Does that weaken the base?

    • @floriangadsby
      @floriangadsby  Рік тому +8

      I've always felt that throwing with the spirals spinning in roughly the same way the clay is going to move might help - but once being coned up and down a few times and squashed into the disc shape I'm not sure how much of a difference it makes, especially with a slightly grogged stoneware like this. Issues could arise potentially with a clay more prone to disaster, like porcelain, but I think as long as it's wedged well and centred properly it'll be just fine no matter what you do.

      I've been accumulating footage for some kind of yellow oxide video - I'll edit it into something one day! How are you firing it?

    • @prestonbliesner4929
      @prestonbliesner4929 Рік тому +3

      Cone ten reduction firing. I don’t know all the details because I’ve just been taking some high school classes and my teacher hasn’t taught us much about his firing process

    • @floriangadsby
      @floriangadsby  Рік тому +4

      Strange! It should work in that firing - are you mixing just 100% yellow iron ochre into a slip like consistency, then brushing it on pots?

  • @LanaSims-jv2bn

    I have a silly question: what would happen if you simply carved a vessel out of a block of clay? I mean with a chisel or something, without turning it at all.

    • @floriangadsby
      @floriangadsby  Рік тому +1

      You can indeed do that! In fact, there's a technique called 'kurinuki', which is exactly what you describe.
