ohhhh...the look of traumatic recall of the old studio at 6:05 is priceless!! LOL.

as far as merch goes: if you did a t shirt/hoodie that had a drip design from the shoulders that looks like a drippy glaze, it would look so cool.

Thanks this sounds really great. One needs some great basics. But as few as possible. Also, wet rags, mop and bucket, bakers racks, everything on wheels, giant car sponges, ripped foam pieces for rougher work, hammer, rubber hammer, platters for drape mold, recycled printer paper,

Never start real size pottery yet, only miniature pottery at this moment, so this is a good video before I start throwing on bigger wheel. Thank you, very informative.

Hahaha... I love the juggling! You are a fun guy and that’s one of the reasons I love your channel!

Yay!!!! You are going to NCECA!!!! This will be my first year going. Now I am super excited, and will deffo come see you at the booth!!

Oh Jon! You're so crazy, love your presentation. You make the pottery tools so cool!

Love your wacky energy! As for favorite tools, I do a lot of sgraffito-over-underglazes, and I love the Xiem ribbon tools for carving through the layers, esp. one which has an elongated small oval at the tip - perfect!

I just ordered my firat MudTools!!! Thank you. Literally! :)

Iam loving you 📹's. You are amazing. New to this. You are a big help. I started pottery and it is my new happy place and I dont want to stop.

The bottle cap is genius

Great info! Thanks so much! Making my wish list now😂

Thanks Jon. So wish those kiln shelves were available in the U.K.!

Sue Holt yeah, so do it.

Thank you! Hoping to learn how to throw so this was a great, quick “what is this thing?” video! Love your style!

You are the best! Thank you!

Your videos are so addicting. I really wanted to try pottery. 😍😍😍

yes love this one,very helpful

Thanks that helped me learn about the essentials and about them

Oh, just ordered the trimming tool from Old Forge. I haven't had a chance to use it yet (in the middle of remolding two bedrooms, one to make a clay room!). I can't wait to get my hands on that puppy!! I do use the Mud tool, tools.

Thank you for this video💖

Yay - thx for this video. 😊😎

I from Brazil, I Love your work

Awesome video 😁

Thank you very helpful

Love the video! Juggling needs work. ♥♥♥ Cheers!

Hi, Jon! I love your work!! Could you possibly go into more detail on how to use the diamond spinning trim tool? I tried the bottle cap version and my pots would get caught on the excess clay being trimmed and then and fall down. How do i prevent that if im not using the little pieces of clay around the side? Thank you!

Great video, great information, !!! Love you back !!!

Hahaha *me running around for bottle caps and paint scrapers*

So no kiln wash on the Advancer shelves at all? Couldn't tell from your video or their site having never seen these shelves before. I really like the idea. And BTW I love my Mudtools trim tool too. I checked out the grinder discs and was a bit taken aback by the price. I may still have to get one as I tend to screw up glazes when playing around with "I wonder..."

Hey, Jon. Could you please put the link to the gradient background that you use for shooting photos of your pots? Hope to see you at NCECA! I only live about 3 hrs away.

Thank you

When I load my kiln now I can only think of the advancer shelves! I gotta get me some. My kiln is super old and manual. Hope to get a new one with new shelves.

OKAY. You had me in a panic juggling for pots. I also would have appreciated seeing the grinding stone in action on that mug, but perhaps I can find another video elsewhere. Gorgeous stuff, as always. Thanks for the content!

Love your videos and energy. I think your juggling is great!!! So, with the new kiln shelves, do you no longer use cookies?

Hello from England! I love your fun, positive energy videos. I am a bronze & ceramic sculptor, but find it hard to sell work that is quite expensive. I've always wanted to try pottery as I love working with clay, so now have a wheel too. I am watching my way through all of your videos. Throwing is hard! For a pure beginner, could you please suggest 10 items to throw in order of ease? I'm not sure what I should be attempting first. I can just about center, throw a coaster, a cylinder & a very small vase. What order would you suggest so that I can improve steadily? Thank you for sharing all of your useful tips. Keep making your lovely videos. They are a delight to watch 😊. Helen

He didn’t really answer this question. Bowls are good because they are simple. Making the same thing over and over really teaches you. I tried to make everything at the beginning and had many failures. It was sad because I elaborately decorated them. Mugs sell very well but you have to learn to attach handles and make them. At the beginning you are very much learning the touch and feel of clay. I found that every 6 months that I was better. Wobbly mugs were good to practice glaze on.

@@Cate7451 Thank you for your suggestions. Gosh 2 years have passed now and I did find that little cylinder egg cups were brilliant practice. Then espresso cups, spoon rests, mugs and salt pots. I still need to attempt bigger bowls. Having the clay the perfect consistency really helps. I love throwing pottery. For anyone starting, just keep at it. It is so rewarding xx

Jon Have you ever used the bat system they sell at Continental clay, that is a lot like the one you have in your video?

Thanks! What about you air cleaner?

I read the title of this video whilest looking at the thumbnail of the video beneath it, which had a 9 barreled musket on it, safe to say I was amused :D

What paint do you use when firing the clay

We call that paint glaze. Mostly he uses prepared glazes which is more expensive than mixing your own perhaps.

“One too far.” The reason why JTP only breaks one pot when he juggles them: Son: Hey mom! Have you ever noticed missing things are alway found at the last place you look? While JTP’s pottery is A#1, his KZreads are perfect: Informative, well lit, well-edited, cheerful.... He even waits until you have seen his videos before asking to Like, Share and Subscribe. Thanks!

Great video. I’m nursing a metal rib cut...OMG I swear it’s worse than a paper cut. 👍🇬🇧

Hi sir I can help you

I was shocked to see a grinding tool in a studio. I was taught to never sand or grind my work, for any reason. Risk inhaling glass particles? Silicosis is not pretty, so if you're going to recommend such practices, I would suggest you at least make it clear to your viewers how imperative it is to wear a mask. Even better, become skilled enough that sanding or grinding is unnecessary.
