- These days women like to show how strong they are, and may be to a small extent that is true in this video...lol, However, I have found this technique to be the least taxing on my body. Dealing with Epstine Barr, at times, you need to do things in a manner that keeps you going and taxes your body less. Hopefully this video will inspire and encourage you that there are techniques you can do that don't require the strength of an ox. I must say, though, it isn't something you can do if you haven't thrown at all and have no musculature for it...lol. In this video I will show you the Anchient Korean Onggi technique; how to make a large coil and attach, center and throw it on your already wheel thrown cylinder.
The Korean tradition she mentioned is called Onggi. Some fascinating short documentaries available on TH-cam. Great video, thanks!
Exactly, thanks for filling in the information!
I tried this technique today. It's working! Thank you so much for sharing!
Awesome!!!! Glad to hear it! I try to teach my students at University, but it's too much for them with grades and all, glad it helped!!!!
Nice video. Very good demo!
Glad you liked it!
The skeleton in the background 😭
Instead of trying to "match" cut, just take the wire thru both at the same time, and it's perfect. So, wire cut both ends where they meet at the same time, and they line up perfectly. 😘
yep, that would totally work
I gotta ask; why coil, especially on a wheel when you could just throw it, get better consistent walls and center and be done in a much much shorter period of time. I get why primitives coil; they don't have a wheel. It's ok if one just wants to do it that way. Just curious.
The more clay on the wheel the harder it gets. There's a definite physical limit based on your form, skill, and strength.
If you look at a lot people who make large pieces they try to throw as much as they can as a base then either add coils to make it larger or throw a second, third, etc. vessel to attach to the one below.
@@robw1571 Watch skinny Asian potter videos. A lot of them throw 25kg or more; huge moon jars in one throw. Others throw two section moon jars and join. I guess if ya gotta coil that's fine; I'm not knocking it; just don't understand why other than strength issues but I've seen skinny little Korean girls throwing 25kg or more without coiling. I can't do 25kg (yet) either. :-)
I have tried the 25 lb technique, but never got above 2 ft. I also like my pots thin and with that technique I was always left with thick walls. It's all about practice. And I am definitely not a girl who wants to show off my muscle. I work as a mechanic part time for my husband, so I know my limitations...lol. With this technique, it is not as hard on my body and I can get a pot to around 5' tall, and I know I could do more. But, with the 25lb technique, I just haven't practiced it. :). I love cats, so no offense, but "there is more than one way to skin a cat".
For large pots,, the Onggi method is the most efficient method to get stronger and thinner walled pots with very low physical effort. It can also be done with flat slabs instead of coils. That is even faster. However, the above video does not show the full Onggi method which also involves using a wooden paddle and anvil to compress the clay and make the walls thin.
Super thick coil
Yes, if you want to get more out of the attached coil, you need a thicker coil. Thin ones work, but then you have to make so many more coils.
bubble......off center....ah ah ah
I know, it's a very difficult process, just keep trying. Make sure your coils are clean and not too lumpy. when you make the coil be sure to roll without pressure, just the rolling motion will extend it and you will get less of a lumpy texture. Lumpy coils lead to bubbles. I'll try to put up a special video on the recenter pass, that will get your clay re-centered.
