The best thing about pottery is after 10 years throwing on the wheel, I can watch a video for beginners and still get useful information that will make a difference in my work. I love a round bottom bowl and have been really working on getting a beautiful curve. We've been debating at the studio go to ribbing the inside of the bowl from top to bottom or from bottom to top. Is there a technical reason you do it from top to bottom?
@judgetoogood1033 sometimes the rim gets too soft because I is thin and exposed to water for a long time. This usually is not a big deal but you may need to cut it off to get to stiffer clay so you can finish the rim properly.
I have been watching these clips. They are great. ❤
Great video, I will try both of these techniques tonight 😁
Great! Tell me how it goes.

Lots of sound effects!!!
Always enjoy your tutorials! Thanks!
Thank you, I am glad you are enjoying them.

Starting from the top gives me more control and a better view of what is happening. It seems to be the way how most others make their bowls as well.
A lot of restaurants serve the main meals in a bowl like this
Please explain more in depth, that the bowl or edge gets soft. What is too soft?
