Hey potters. I frequently get asked "How much water should I use when throwing?" by beginners. this isn't so much a question as it is people checking to see if they should use more of less water when they throw and especially center. So today we will be talking about how much water you should use hen you throw and in what situations you might find yourself using water in a different way. I hope you potters enjoy this potter lesson, good luck on your next project and i will see you potters next week :)

I was thinking my wheel was getting a bit too messy... turns out I am definitely using too much water, especially in the centring stage. Thanks for the tip!
It’s like you have the answers before I ask them. I needed this lol
I'm very much a baby potter and and this helped tremendously. I'm pretty sure I've cussed more in the past hour than I have my entire life, and that's a lot... Lol, but all because my clay was sticking to every damn thing and I now know it's because it was too freaking wet! I'm getting ready to go binge watch every video you've ever made just so I don't end up in the nuthouse from trying to teach myself pottery! 😂😂😂 Thank you for sharing! 🎉
Omg You answered why I have such a difficult time throwing large! It is all about roughy water!Thank you!!!
Making my way through your beginners section. So so so helpful. Thank you!
Thanks Donte. You're my favorite potter.
Watched your video, tried your suggestions and wow what a difference. Had to come right back to the computer to thank you. Moving from beginner to intermediate needs a new set of techniques and I definitely was not managing my water correctly. Thank. Keep up the great videos.
You make it look So Easy 😅
I'm glad I found your channel. I threw pieces years ago, but only for about a year. Now I'm getting back in, setting up a new studio and it's fun to reacquaint myself. Nice work, and lots of great content on the channel.
Thank you so much for making this video. You were already kind enough to respond to me on FB regarding this question but a picture/video is worth a thousand words. Great video as usual! Thanks Donte!
Another very informative video. Even though I've been throwing for years I always learn something new from you.
This was so helpful! I have definitely been using too much water, thank you for sharing these tips! :)
Excellent, Excellent, Excellent ❤
Awesome video Donte!!
Thanks for all the info!!! Great video!
1hand of water - brilliant
*ALL OF IT* is my strategy. I can turn 25lb of clay, into 5gal of sludge, in an afternoon.
You monster
Appreciate the memes and the knowledge 👌
you have been so helpful. love love love all of your videos. my biggest issue right now is trying to make taller pieces. i guess that just takes lots and lots of practice. quick question...what is your favorite color and/or combo of Amaco glazes? thanks. have an awesome day!!!
Curious why don’t you use the slip that comes off the clay body? When I throw I use my hands like you showed to start but as it makes the slip I catch the slip and cost the clay with it instead. The slip stays on longer and as I pull up I can collect it and just throw it back in the cylinder. Then I use that to coat the inside and use some to coat. The outside. Most of the time my catch pans are bone dry (some slip will fling off, but I use my finger to wipe it off and re use. Throwing dry is so much more helpful specially in larger pieces and harder shapes.
That works too but I usually collect my slip and recycle it back into useable clay instead.
Also half of the time I don't use enough water to create slip in the first place. Makes a mess.
thats very helpful because knowing me i would make it so watery, id end up like a comic strip and all the clay going everywhere, up the walls and the ceiling 🤣🤣 thank you bro

Should we be cleaning our hands off frequently? Maybe I'm oversaturating in some areas, but not in others, but I feel like I often have a lot of thick, sticky clay on my hands.
Honestly, I do. For me it's about comfort. But yes. Almost every piece I clean my hands with the sponge real quick.
Ok but how do I not use too much water to where it's mushy and not use too little when I pull so that there's no friction??
I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. I follow your instructions the best I can but when I’m pulling the sides up it always cones out. I can’t seem to get the sides to just pull straight up. Is there something I’m doing wrong or do I just need to keep playing with it?
If you're talking about the cylinder coning out while you are pulling then yes you need more practice.
However there should be no coning out while you are centering.
@@EarthNationCeramics yes I am talking about the sides coning out on my cylinder when I’m pulling. I will keep practicing. Thank you!
i agree with the guy at the begining
I tried to do store updates as much as possible but it's a difficult.
If you have an idea how to make kiln of bricks with gas firing this will be helpful...have a nice day
i use so much water i make slip
I use tank of water 🤣🤣🤣 thanks a lot
