- Apologies in advance for the wheel noise. I did finally fix the squeaky belt later in the day after recording this!
How tall of a cylinder can I throw from 1 and 2 pounds?
How wide of a bowl can I throw with the same?
How about you?
If you decide to take on the challenge please comment below with your results, good luck.

Reading through the comments, and damn! Do I love potters! So much positive feedback and support! Thank you Matt for all the videos, it's always great to watch you do you're thing! I'm definitely going to try the 1lb challenge next time I get on a wheel :)
I only recently discovered your TH-cam channel and have been watching a lot of your videos and have really been enjoying them. Your channel is one of the best I have seen presenting the challenges of being a potter. Your craftsmanship, eye for form, and deep understanding of pottery sets a standard that we should all strive for. I have been a potter for almost 50 years and try to maintain these same standards myself. The fact that you make all these great videos, letting the world see what you do, is wonderful.
Your talent is amazing, Matthew!!! Thank you for sharing! :)
Started potting once-twice a week two months ago. I pulled 8"x3.5" with 2lbs of clay with even walls in 3 pulls and was happy with myself. Now I need to up it to 12" lol. I'm impressed.
You are so versatile Matt in everything you do. Great video
This is a very thoughtful challenge. I’m ill at this time but, when I’m able to return to the pottery, I will be taking this challenge on. Thank you for the time and effort you apply to get your clips out to us.
So I will be back in touch when I get these cylinders pulled.....may take six months and I resort to an exceptionally thin bottom but I will keep on trying along with the challenge from Simon Leach using 12 ounces.
Going to share this out to my friends - will be fun to see what we can do, thanks for all your inspiration
Thanks Matt for the challenge. I've been testing my skills now that I'm retired and have been struggling on throwing tall. Practicing with a smaller amount is a great idea, instead of starting off with 4 pounds. Also, my wheel's been getting louder, and wasn't sure what it was till you mentioned the belt. Getting conditioner today. Love your videos, you're organized and get right to the point.
Great demonstration and challenge! Thanks Matt.
very entertaining Matt, I hope you get lots of people that take up the challenge.
When you measured the first cylinder you made me realize one mistake I was making. I throw cylinders heavier than the one you made, but the same size. I learned a lot today thank you, Mr. Kelly!
Well done Matt. Fun to watch.
very well done Matt :)
Beautiful. I am defo going to try to get 8 inches x 3 1/4”
I would love to see other potters content at attempting this. Great job!
Fun video - you make it look so easy! On my bowl, I glazed it with Pams Green on the outside with oatmeal on the inside. I then added Artichoke over the inside and over the lip and half way down the outside and it came out great! Thanks for your inspiration. Do you have a video on making larger bowls by layering one centered mound of clay with another?
Pretty amazing, Matthew ... but that's what we have come to expect from you!
Beautiful 8” cylinder
Loved the challenge!
