@luvpottery I don’t see why not so long as you don’t sit it on anything flammable like a wooden deck and you have it far enough away from the house.
Cheers.
Dan- I have watched all of your videos, and have attempted the double cylinder and your lid method- thanks for the help! I have a question about kilns- would you know if you can keep a gas kiln out doors on a deck? I’m concerned about ventilation and breathing in chemicals.
I have a few questions for you Dan.
1. Approximately how much did the clay weigh when you threw in on the wheel?
2. How tall are these pieces that you show?
3. How hard is the clay that you threw these amphoras with?
Thanks
can u make me one?
How do you get you handles to attach so well? When I try to attach my handles, they always slide off and droops down…
I use slip to attach it… Should I let my handles dry for awhile?
Yeah, what clay are you using? It seems way easy to handle!
You made it look so easy. I enjoyed the watching the whole process. Thank you
@guitargodgod it looked like his breath
Dan, how do you keep pulling without the top spreading out?
Was that a puff of smoke at 4:12?
hey dan nice potteries
what kind of clay are you throwing with?
I’m a big fan of your work, but I really think you’ve outdone yourself with this one. Great job.
After watching your vid, i want to get back to the throwng wheel again and feel the clay which i have not done for many years after moving into a smaller house=(
@youdanxxx
damn you how are you so good ?
im having trouble closing up the up or “choking” it as my ceramics teacher says
im in high school and i want to make this. can you tell me how big the cylander should be before i start forming it? and how tall is the vase when your done?
@Tokidoki4Me Hi, at my read if you are right handed the wheel turns counter clockwise, and clockwise if you are left handed.
Hi Dan,
Did you have much water in the bottom of these pots. You do like the water, have you tried a profile tool while you are making the pot to smooth it out. Also have you tried pulling a handle off the pot, it could make for a smoother transistion from pot to handle plus it would be faster. I’m more with you than against you, keep up the great work.
you are so awesome!
Were can u get a spinner thingy at?? Ive been doing it by hand,…nothing and it sucks!!!!!!….Your a very good pottery artist
He may have used a sodium silicate + water solution, also called “magic water”…help mend cracks too.
WOW….the day I can do that, I’ll call myself a potter! I would like to be able to replicate all of the Greek pottery vessels. Thank you for the inspiration.
did he just glue the handles on there?
Nice job! I’m trying to make these handles in class now! awesome…great job
what do you use as an adhesive for your joints? I noticed you don’t score the pot or the handle, is the way you are doing it just as efficient, and strong?
