Vaughan, your kerchief bowls are spectacular! I agree, one thing that attracts me to ceramics is the infinite variety of projects and techniques. I could do this for 100 years and still be learning and trying new things. Well done, and thank you for the tutorial!

I tried making one based on my memory of this video and it totally failed. Then I made a second one watching your video carefully and it was so much easier. You are an incredible teacher!

You ate such a kind man to be so giving. I can't afford a lot of what is needed, nor do I have the knowledge how, but you sure made my mind think.

Oh My Goodness! I’d that an old pastry or noodle sheeter! Great thing. I bet it weighs a ton! next time when you attach the foot, try adding a very thin roll of clay between the two. Then you wouldn’t have lost that lovely extra rim. Also, the big one that you took the wrap off before you put it on the bowl, that white bucket on your table…..perfect matchup. Another bowl, but a different bottom. You could even make a rectangular slab base!

Thank you for your wonderful video! I've been making large bowls similar to yours since the middle 70's, using lace pressed into the clay with slip painted over it to accentuate the pattern. One difference in technique is that I use pieces of old bed sheets to roll the clay on. It's not so hard to peel the clay off and leaves almost no mark. I can roll out thin enough to move easily. I love the way you glaze these large pots on the inside! I suspend mine on a jar over a large bowl to pour glaze over the outside after dipping the stem in a smaller bowl with glaze in it to glaze the stem. I have always made the stems the day before, but will try making and adding them immediately! That looks interesting!! I tried a slab with stamps, etc., yesterday!! What fun!!!!! Again, thank you for sharing! Ann Sciba

I believe that's a North Star slab roller. It's one of the few brands which adjusts the slab thickness by raising or lowering the roller, rather than having to insert shims in the bed. Great tip on getting square(ish) slabs Can't wait to try it. Those ovals seem to waste a lot space on the ends making me roll more slabs to fit that last piece. Those bowls are just fantastic.

I'll be watching. One other thing I do differently is use quilt batting, the soft kind that I can tear up, to stuff the curves after I get the bowl over the drape mold. It's strong enough to hold and, since it's going under the cloth the bowl is draped over, doesn't get dirty, while helping to hold the shape.

I have deliberately not monetized the channel to prevent these annoying ads appearing during my videos.

Apparently in the terms there is a clause that KZread can put ads onto anyone's videos whether you want them or not... and even if you haven't reached that 1,000 subscribers that you have to reach before you can monetize. So, whether you monetize or not, ads can appear... and often do once someone gets even a little popular. If you don't monetize, it just means KZread makes all the cash. I tend to use "skip" when the ads become too much.

I just finished watching you make a lamp base. Have you tried making a Shade to match the base? I really think that would be amazing.😊

Just for information... Those two tools with the handles that you thought might be for wallpaper or plaster (they can be used for the plaster for sure) are also texture tools to add wood grain to things. You lay down a dark colour and let it dry, then lay a light colour over top and drag the tool in one direction, tipping it back and forth as you do, and it puts a nice wood grain down. Then let that dry before varnish or glaze is added. You can also use those pointy parts to drag other patterns onto projects.
