Making / throwing a Pottery Candlestick on the wheel

Throwing / Making a clay pottery Candlestick on the wheel.
These types of pot always tend to go a bit out of control by the nature of the pot being tall and solid.
This one was a bit of a trial to see if I could get three ridges on the stem.
This uses a different technique to other pots as you're just squeezing the clay into shape instead of making a wall in the pot.

Always love how quick and straight to the point he is with these videos. Entertaining from beginning to end (:

I could watch this all day it's very... zen. I forgot how much fun it is to do pottery did it years ago in school

[toiresa]

who would dislike this man's videos?! this sweet man who makes pottery and vegetable videos? he needs to be protected

[allseasonscooking]

Wow! Just when you thought it was going to cave he just brought it back in and and smoothing add another layer. Very nicely done! :)

I don't really like watching this stuff but when I saw him making it It became so cool how he rose the clay and now I want to take pottery classes

[rickvanman]

Haha, from the image still I thought you were making a bong :) always great to watch a lump of clay evolve into these amazing creations.

It's oddly satisfying to watch people make clay pots

[kaileypurta]

when he scraps the clay off in the beginning is satisfying thats all I watch XD

I've made candlesticks myself. Never thought of starting by the top, though.
Cool vid.

I don't know why, but this is so relaxing to watch!

Whoever does pottery needs skilful and steady hands.

I love watching you throw pieces. It's so incredibly calming to me. I am going to take a class soon!

We were throwing something with a similar problem a few weeks back and found that it's easier to steady the upper part from the inside of the form than the outside. Just let your finger ride around the inside of the rim. Also at the bottom, "reverse" pull... go down to the foot with the excess clay instead of trying to pull it up into the already unstable stack..

It's amazing what 4 minutes can do!

[chelseaaav.]

This looks cool!! I want to try it one day

[MonaMohamed-pcyx]

[maddyhannah]

The fact that the top didn't go off... insane

[angiegonzalez]

I'm speechless that is the best pottery I've seen

[jessicadiemer]
