Mr. Lin, My name is Nick and I just wanted to thank you.. I am a highschool senior who has found the time to take ceramics class... Thanks to you, I was able to earn an A+ on my first 4 pieces because of your expert advice (like the water drip onto the handle, and letting the handles dry a bit before use). Also, because you give advice, and you don't tell us how to make it YOUR way, I find that I can still feel like my own style is in my piece, thank you very much for your work.

Such a patient, careful teacher. I've been doing this for a lot of years, but I learn something valuable from each of your clips. Thanks so much.

$40. And if you've ever had a handmade mug........ it's like hand knit socks, totally worth it.

Thank you for showing me how to do this the right way. I have tried many times. Now I can handle anything!

I don't know about anyone els but I was really angry before I started watching this and now I'm pretty calm. I really like your work

Thank you so much for sharing. Your work is beautiful and I really appreciate your knowledge for this craft. Your pieces are lovely. Works of art.

I was reading the comments while watching in disbelief. Now I’m totally on board with his teaching and I agree with many of you. Love. Subscribed.

Hi! I was in the pottery studio in Sunnyvale yesterday. Was my first time throwing, and I made that mug. I was confused about the process for attaching a handle and will use this information in the future. Appreciate the video :)

You make everything look so easy. . And beautiful!

I absolutely love your videos. You are the best teacher on youtube that I have found. Thank you for explaining why you do certain things to the pottery ; it has helped me understand more about the entire process of pottery building. Keep the videos coming please :)

i feel like the most underrated aspect of your instructionals is the careful attention you place on the state of dryness of the clay. Porcelain is very difficult to master in that aspect and even the slightest misjudgement in the leatherhardness of the clay can result in big mishaps especially when trying to add a handle to a mug! I have more often than not tried to work with clay when it just isn't ready! haha! your patience is greatly applauded!

Its the opposite for me I procrastinate and let it get to dry. Luckily my clay is very forgiving i haven't had any issues with cracking. But my habits probably won't work for porcelain XD

Best handle tutorial I have come across. Very helpful indeed, thank you!

Mr. Hsinchuen, your videos are amazing and I learnt a great amount of tricks to manage clay. Thank you so much.

So beatiful art!

Love the end : - ) such beautiful mugs! thank you so much for sharing!!

really enjoyed the video thank you, a no rush way of attaching handles to pottery

Thanks this helps me so much, it clears up so many small details that I've always wondered about. It's like you answered questions I didn't even quite know how to ask. Thank you very much.

amazing! this video is so helpful and those cups are beautiful, thank you for sharing!

you are so badass. thank you for all of these amazing videos. your work is gorgeous.

I love the handles you make on your cups!!! Thank you so much for creating videos of your amazing work, I'm always inspired by them and they are always so gentle and easy to watch over and over. :) Definitely favorited this video!

Thank you so much for all of these fantastic and informative videos!

I like the method u used with the wire cutter

What beautiful mugs! Thank you for this inspiring video, which is full of so many great tips and techniques. It made me smile as I thought of the mug handle I made the other day (the first for 20 years) as mine was so clumsy in comparison. You've given me something to aim for and the advice necessary to achieve it. Now I'll have to do lots and lots and lots of practice. Thanks again!

Thank you so much for the fine attention to detail and passing along such great tips and instruction!

Hi, I trim my pots at leather hard stage. Please watch my video #128 to get the tools information.

Beautiful ... always!

Wonderful videos! You're amazing! Would you mind telling me what kind of clay you use?

I love the part when you start shaving the clay! It looks funny.

Great! Thank you.

thank you for the video

Beautiful! Subscribed.

Thank you

very helpful video, thanks

awesome!

i used to make 300 2 pint pitchers in a day and then pull handeles on the following day.repetition throwing on peacework more i made the more i earned.you could cut the pot in half with a cheese wire and it would be the same thickness from top to bottom,my great uncle taught me and he was a thrower for 45 years.

Incredible work! What kind of clay do you use that's dries so fast?? Help

thank you master

@31361claire I tried to accommodate as many contents as possible. Unfortunately, KZread has 15 minutes length limit. Most of the time I have to scarify some image to fit into the limit.

Amazing

the handling of the material looks very professional yet a little bit stiff. not to say as critique, more as an observation of his style and character with the clay. very insightful.

Big help ~ thanks

Am I the only one who thinks the humming of the wheel is relaxing?

@clayphoenix There is nothing to do with the string cut-off. My way of avoiding s crack is to trim the bottom thin enough. How thin? I'd say about 1/8 inch. Also, dry your pots naturally instead of put them under the sun. With the Iron wash, I fired them on either reduction or oxidation atmosphere. They are both nice.

Hi, Please watch my Video 85. Preventing "S" Crack When Throwing off the Hump with Hsin-Chuen Lin. I should have addressed your question on the post.

I like his voice

Que belleza!

I got a pottery set and lost the instructions my first thought was KZread I checked about ten videos but I learned the most from this

Your doing good

Any tips on the trimming tools used at 7.48 to generate that texture?

how long do the mugs dry before trimming?

oh yes this video is so so usefull, your e real master because you share and show and you do it damgood :)

Very beautiful work, do you usually not score the bottom portion of the handle joint?

Syn Ess make time for your dreams. life's too short

Your work is so beautiful. I wonder how you avoid cracking when throwing porcelain off the hump. Does it have anything to do with the string cut-off? I find that porcelain cracks about 50% of the time when I throw small bowls off it- even when I rib the interior base a lot. Any suggestions? Also, can you share the iron wash you are using over chattering? I assume you are reduction firing your work to keep that dark red of the wash. Thanks!

what kind of clay are you using?

What type of clay are you using?

it also has to do with how they dry, flipping the bowls asap after throwing helps a lot

what kind of string do you use? i notice it seems like regular string! how awesome!

just like a cotton string works... or like the canvas that most studios use to cover their wedging tables... the little strands that pull off will work if you can get a long enough one. just wet it before the first cut and it works great.

Fantastic work, what clay do you use for the mugs? There great

Good

what kind of wheel set up do you use? where can you find the tools that "jump" across the surface creating all the different textures?
