I just started taking pottery class. My second class was today and I attempted a mug. I wish I would of watched this video before my class! I ended up with more of a bowl, because I did not understand the coning. This Video is explained it perfectly! Thank you for going step by step with the different pieces. It REALLY helped!

I have neither the patience nor the artistic ability to be a potter or an artist - BUT I'm utterly in awe of the way you manage to bring form and beauty to a lump of clay. Furthermore, I'm humbled by your extraordinary generosity in passing on your knowledge and expertise to others. You're an inspiration to us all Mr Leach. Best Wishes from a humbled IT Consultant.

Never too old to learn! Many of my pottery friends are the early and mid 70s some have never done it before! Keep going! It’ll feel so good when you crack it! It’s just like learning to drive, once it clicks you are well on your way to being fabulous!!

@ckartmixedmedia8 жыл бұрын
Thank you so much! I was not doing number 5 and that was not taught to me. The explanation of the cylinder wanting to open outwards at the top is exactly what has been happening to me.
@CB-ys8jl8 жыл бұрын
This shows me two things I need to be doing. When opening I don't keep my hand on the side and after opening I don't collar in. I get the godawful flaring out at the top and have been trying to figure out how to get rid of it. I'm going to try these two things out tomorrow and hopefully make some beautiful, straight cylinders! Thanks!

Beautiful video, just beautiful! Paused and saw the sign over your shoulder ~ "Speed kills." Oh, so true! I'm now only throwing my hand-dug farm clay (Maryland clay, redware) and the speed of my wheel has a huge effect on stability, time I have to work on the form before it returns to the "free mud" state it's nature tends toward. Also, if I rush the wedging process, my clay will have lumpy irregularities, as it tends to dry in the bag in such an irregular way, soft areas and harder areas, when resting. Patience with wedging, not rushing, it key to happy wheel time, too! Speed kills, such a great reminder! Thanks, Master Potter Leach!

By Jove I think I've got it!! Many thanks for passing on three generations of Leach wisdom. Thankfully I'm not too old to pass it on to my kids and their kids. One of many reasons I pursued your specific approach is because I enjoy the way you speak. Your videos are the first instructional videos in throwing that I've been able to tolerate listening to all the way thru. Another is the tradition I mentioned above: How in 2020 do you do better than being taught to throw by Bernard Leach's grandson?

Yes I bought the book after seeing this, and yes I am totally making a step by step skill by skill class for my new grade sevens here in winnipeg manitoba. And yes I was cheating a bit in both wedging and centring properly so every now and again my throwing would really be a struggle. I found my own teacher here and also signed up for some teacher professional development by sounding stone here in winnipeg. Excellent! Anyways thanks a ton for your patient walk throughs, and is it possible to by the pattern for your treadle wheels, I am hoping to get my local shops classes interested in building a few, so we can use them.
