Making / Throwing a Spherical shaped Pottery vase on the wheel

Making / Throwing a Spherical shaped Pottery vase on the wheel.
This is quite a pleasing shaped one to make as it is a very round shape and the clay doesn't need to be lifted up too tall.

That ladies and gentlemen is a Master Craftsman at work. I would love to be able to create something like that. I had a go on a potters wheel years ago it looked so easy. I ended up losing my dentures, doing a strange wiggle dance and bouncing about like Barbara Windsor in Carry on Camping. Final result? I produced a blob of clay that probably looked a lot better before I went anywhere near it :)

Been 20 years since I threw on a wheel last with more than 4k total pieces made. Have to say your technique is top notch and you move the clay like a master! I always wedged into cones and set them tip up to start off. Just make sure you are turning so the wedge spiral is following the wheel direction, or it essentially unwinds the clay wraps from the wedging. Learned that from a Masters potter's class once. Think he was named Davis. Long ago... Geat Work!

I sent my mom one very much like this when I was stationed in Korea. It arrived in a thousand pieces but she glued it all back together. Great video. ❤️

Wow. You are incredibly skillful. You threw that pot as though it wanted to be that shape. I am in awe. You also are very personable, thanks for sharing

[Thekennel]

May I ask what planet you are from. Your skills are obviously not of this world.

I had a field trip once to a pottery shop and I tried doing pottery it was HARD

[JJDigitalartStudio]

Just beautiful. I can imagine it with flowers and vines. Could you show painting and glazing techniques some day also?

[KonnyP]

Yo that is god level! I cannot do that... ...yet :}. Then again I don't have your wheel or your money, I built my own outta a spinning mop bucket, stacked plant pots and a large plant pot base for the wheel, and I've done bowls so far...

Just to keep it simple... The answer is YES...
YES you can always remove your wrist watch

Amazing wow, I love to make one, but looks like I will need lots of practice, it is a beautiful 🎨 work.

I miss ceramics T.T use to throw on the wheel all the time in high-school. I love things like this! The way he centered, pulled out and threw up was really fluid he didn't force the clay he moved with it. I also love how he got the shape while bottle necking or choking the rim can cause complications he ensured that the shoulder kept its integrity all the while. I did something like this though I completely enclosed the top creating a hollow sphere to then use a needle tool to create a lid from the top. Over all a ton of fun and takes a ton of skill if you don't know what you are doing well that clay is going to wrinkle or flop especially depending on the amount of water used ^^; amazing skill quite enjoyed the process what I would give to throw on a wheel again :)

Am I the only one who thinks pottery making is satisfying ?
