@andyruble63313 күн бұрын
Thanks for watching and sorry for the struggles! My best advice is to cut the tube at a 45degree angle while it’s leather hard and place the front of the tube at the back of the hole. There must be a very small hole remaining at the end of the tube to allow air to blow over the hole. Remember to sharpen the front of the hole for best sound results! Good luck… Andy

I really want to make it as a solo potter, and big stuff is the dream since I saw Peter Voulkos's protege Peter Callas at my ceramics class in college.

@andyruble6336 ай бұрын
Hello, and thanks for watching! I like to make the holes and mount the blow tube when the clay is much stiffer in the leather hard stage. How long it needs to dry completely depends on the humidity and the temperature. You can speed up the drying by using a heat gun or hairdryer, or keep it wet by wrapping it up with plastic. I hope this helps! Andy

They told me that the clay should dry as slowly as possible. I thought that if it dries on open air, it will be damaged in the kiln. Is it true?

Really fast drying could cause cracking, but it is possible to speed dry clay and it has no effect on how it fires in the kiln.

Hi Simon! Thanks for checking out the video. Coil throwing is completely water tight when stacked, compressed and pulled well. The throwing lines on the inside can easily be smoothed out using a rib after you have completed that section of coils. Sometimes I use a rib on both sides of the wall to completely eliminate any process marks depending on what I’m making. Go for it and good luck! -Andy

I am gobsmacked at the height you've built on this! I am surprised that despite having almost no attention span nowadays, I couldn't tear myself away from the screen! This was amazing!!! So inspirational! I was hoping that you or someone else can answer a question I have. I understand that it is important to maintain thickness in the walls to support the building and throwing, but once you are done coil throwing, how much can you trim the form? Or would trimming it any be detrimental to the firing process? Thank you!

Thanks so much for watching! I hope these techniques help you make your largest form yet. 🎉 To answer your question, I usually throw the form to its final thickness but you could trim it quite a bit and it shouldn’t effect the way it fires. 1/2 inch to 3/8” would be the thinnest I would go for a large form.

Nice guide. I'm going to be teaching a whistle class soon. I'm also trying to make a 3 chambered flute/ocarina. That's turning out to be a lot to have bitten off! I'm trying to make it somewhat unique in that I want one chamber to be the bass with two holes controlled by the thumbs to play 1st, 3rd and 5ths. the other two chambers to share (7) finger holes, so that they play relative 3rds and I"m hoping it gets a decent organ-like tone to it. I'm using math to try to get relative tones. I first tried a cylindrical design, but I couldn't get a sound out of it the second day after it dried to leather hard. I'm trying a more square/cubic approach on my second attempt. It's turning out to be too big, but I'm saving the whistle parts for last and I'm hoping I can get all 3 chambers whistling as desired, then I can dial it down on the 3rd one to get a good fit. I'm imagining I might have to make some "channels", esp for the thumb bass notes. such that where I place my thumb leads to a different hole position leading to the chamber to get the desired tonality. Long live imagination and exploration!
