To someone like me who’s really not the best at throwing and would like to get better, these are the best videos. They help me a lot!! Thank u so much

[@marcohairdoctor]

You are a great “teacher “ thanks for all the videos and tips.

[@omanihooper]

I should be studying for my art history final but.... POTTERY!!!!!!

[@Dally_Sparkles]

I love you man!.... you don't have to share these tips but you do.. I'm making honey pots and have been racking my brain you have made my life easier.

[@rebeccawright3247]

This was a wonderful instructional video... I want to try this technique soon. I've heard that if you enclose a form you should put a little button of clay in the lid to keep it from cracking where it was pinched closed.

[@EarthNationCeramics]

Yes, that does help but if you can do it without the little crack or hole it's fine too

[@mitchelwilson4757]

I've made that noise at the beginning trimming pots a few times lmaooo

[@myleshollywood81]

l love making these kind of forms. Thanks for teaching me this.

[@KittyToKaren]

Ok that clip in the beginning of the pot falling off the wheel. I have never related more to a potting video. 🤣😭

[@DorianDavisddd]

[@abiblabla]

This is brilliant!

[@marie-joseelevesque2555]

OMG!! Love this technique.

[@alandunnighan2159]

Great clip D. I noticed that we are claypron buddies as well. Really enjoying the new beginners clips, and funny to.

[@lisalawn1111]

Brilliant!!! Thanks for your stellar instructional vids :))

[@omanihooper]

We used chopsticks on enclosed forms then cut at the bottom of the indent formed by the chopstick and formed a nice drop in lid that way this looks much easier

[@omanihooper]

Never mind that’s a totally different method I’m going to slither off now and study for my art history final sorry

[@shaunireland5501]

Great time to watch this especially

[@andreavazquez3260]

Wow. I love your videos. Thank you!

[@ShellHawksNest]

Donte, have you used an Exacto knife, yet? I've used those when I carve my jack-o'-lanterns and they're great. Plus, you can drop in different types of blades if you need more precise cuts.
BTW, miss your face! Come down to LA some time and I'll take you out throwing at my local place!

[@suerodriguez4525]

Great video !

[@jaxeaton939]

Oh thank god I thought you weren’t about to smooth your edges man.

[@lil_clay_pot5585]

That intro is me everytime I do something wrong in pottery

[@chrispya1]

Mine tends to be less safe for work.

[@CeramicJim]

I think we've all have a tool snag on the wheel. Ha! That make me laugh.

[@musiciansadda9698]

How do u make a lid which doesn't allow the liquid poured inside the pot to spill out

[@baconboi4155]

So in an enclosed form I retains its shape better??

[@EarthNationCeramics]

Yes

[@aliciajohnson6571]

😱 Noooo. Don't break it! :'(

[@sabriyawilliams4470]

Hey I was getting onto the little website thingie to support you. But is there a way for me to do that but just give you donations when I save up instead of monthly? Just wondering, also I do pottery and I was wondering if I could send you a piece. I'm not that good at pottery soooo yeah. Sorry I was rambling.

[@EarthNationCeramics]

P.o box info will always be below:)

[@EarthNationCeramics]

But please don't send me Pottery . I don't want to be rude but it would be like sending a fish water.

[@sabriyawilliams4470]

Okay, no problem, that makes sense

[@puck34fan]

Hehe...he screams like a girl

[@ataliemitchell3606]

I get that your trying to educate but you talk to us like we’re very very, extremely extremely stupid!!!! We get the point no need to repeat every adverb you say. Very very, extremely extremely annoying.

[@sabriyawilliams4470]

Atalie Mitchell he's just doing it in a way that people with different learning types can understand, just like a teacher. You didn't have to berate him for trying to teach people things, when he doesn't have to in the first place.

[@mildlymeditatedpottery734]

Who is making you watch? It is simple if you do not like the way he teaches move on.

[@ataliemitchell3606]

Yeah I getcha, I think I will move on. I like the content just wish there was a less douchy way of relaying the info. I see the title and think “ great I could learn more about this” but then I start watching and so much time gets wasted with useless words, and I don’t want to feel this way I really don’t! but I just keep thinking ..what a douch bag uuggh

[@aliciajohnson6571]

Atalie Mitchell *you're ;)

[@EarthNationCeramics]

I'll keep your suggestion in mind. Perhaps in the future I will be more concise. You have a good day.
