this should be the first video you watch in the intermediate throwing playlist.
In college, after I passed my beginner classes, the whole class was put through a little test. not only to see where we were as artists but also to exemplify why we were beginners.
This lesson ( the same one I'm showing you today) really taught us why we weren't getting height on the wheel, why our clay was thick and not drying evenly, and why we were struggling with cracks in our clay.
if you are not yet done with the beginner playlist I suggest you go back and learn those shapes.
I know many who see this channel as a teaching tool will appreciate this lesson.

Don’t know if you’re still checking these comments... 63 years old, 45 years since I started my pottery journey. Just got my own equipment and it’s a whole new playlist. This lesson was seriously a missing piece for me. You rock, Dante. You’re quite skilled at teaching pottery... and also goofy.
I’ve been feeling like I’m still at beginner stage. But this video taught me I’m not. It was just logical to me when I finally got the hang of cylinders that I should pull from the very bottom of the vessel. You’re the best Donte! Thank you so much!
I've watched this three times, it's so packed with good instruction. Damn, can't wait to get into the studio and practice this!!!!
one essential element is to compress the lip after each pull. it will reduce the likelihood of chipping and keep things centered. also, sometimes when things go a bit wonky, I will throw DOWN. It's not pushing the clay back to the wheel head, but countering the spiral to even things out. wdyt?
Awesome lesson Dante'!
I LOVE watching your lessons! Thank you so much for your generous sharing! I saved the video and plan to "throw-along". I feel like I learned a ton just watching... can't wait to do it in person! Thanks so much again, Dante!
Yeah! The pottery videos are back!! Happy 2020
Excellent video!
thanks for passing on the lesson! your videos massively helped me understand technique when I was getting stuck/not understanding in class!
OH my! I needed this lesson so much!!! Thanks for all you do :)
More pressure on bottom that was helpful thanks
Really nice lesson , one of the best I saw so far but nobody speaks about the density of the clay, personally I believe is all about the density of the clay.
Thank you. This was so informative!! You have a gift for teaching!
Fantastic lessons, thank you!
I learn so much with you! Thank you soooo much for all the content you post here 🎉🎉
Awesome! Thank you. My last teacher used to hover over me reminding me to relax on the last third since I was usually still pulling too hard. Love that you are doing the intermediate series. Thank you.
So funny. I knew I had too much at the bottom but this was very eye opening.
Excited for the intermediate videos! 2020 is gonna be awesome! Thick bases and thin rims are so 2019!
The videos are super informative. I'm an intermediate potter but getting there would have been so much easier if I had instruction like this!
Thank you for the lessons, you're a very good teacher, and I haven't even begun to pot yet. Cheers!
Thank you again for a definite lightbulb moment. I struggle to get height, return to college on Thursday and I’m gonna get me some aggressive pulling 🇬🇧😎
and I was so thrilled to get a full 5 3/4 inch tall cylinder tonight ;P
Thank you that was a great lesson! You are wonderful at explaining the logistics of pottery.
This was a very good lesson! Thank you
Epic lesson! I can't wait to try that beehive technique! Thank you for the new video! Happy 2020!!
Thank you ! You’re a great teacher!
Thank you for these detailed videos. I live in Virginia and I'm so excited about going to NCECA this year. I've never been before. Hope to see you there
I'm going too ! I'ma wear a pink hoodie. Look for ya boi
Can't wait to meet you and others. Have you been to any other NCECAs? I made reservations months ago. Im glad I did. The hotels were book up in less than an hour. I'm staying close, but not right at the venue. I would love to order a new kiln while there. We will see. My kiln is over 30 years old and manual. I managed to find a used switch last year through a Facebook group. They don't make parts for it any more. Thanks for your videos on setting up your studio. Mine is in the basement. I'm slowly getting things I need.
THANK YOU! That was an amazing lesson.
Mind. Blown. This is perfect! I was just wondering about throwing taller/ more consistently.
I'm still struggling with this. I measure the inside of the cylinder and I notice that the bottom is smaller compared to the top. So that made me realize that I'm not pulling enough. When I cut my piece I can see that my cylinder looks more like a slitly cone. I looked for an explanation from you and here it is 😊
Thanks so much for this - it was integral in helping me really level up the quality of my throwing.
This is the shit I've gotta get practicing over and over!
😱 all plans cancelled tomorrow so I can try the beehive! I will let you know how it goes 🤞🏻
Definite improvement thank you so much.
Damn that was super informational...
Great one! Been struggling with larger vessels. This is going to help!
Dude love this channel and your style of teaching
Awesome! I needed this today!
This is helpful
love your videos so helpful thank you!!!!
FYI, Underglaze and "Stroke and Coat" on greenware is a very real and cool way to get more detail on your pottery.. It bisques just fine......................... Shout out to MAYCO and their product videos.
😂😂 please end me
Hi. When I try to pull my cylinder it starts wobbling
This was an awesome video! I try to pull aggressive. I press in like you do at the bottom to get that little ridge, I try to get under it to raise that ridge up, but some where it seems to get lost and I don't get as much height. I don't get thin tops usually, I don't pull through the top. Typically I have been using the side of a bent up finger, knuckle, maybe I need to use the tip of why finger instead?
That sounds like a consistency issue, keeping the same strength throughout your fingertips all the way through the clay body.
I would suggest using your fingertips if you are still in the beginner phase simply because of knuckle pulling, while comfortable, is a little more sensitive for your fingers. Your knuckle doesn't have as much sensory information going through the hand as would your fingertips.
This way you can actually feel what's going on with the clay as you pull it
Thank you Donte! Makes total sense. I will try finger tips.
I tried this today, and threw a mug that looks like a pitcher. I like a lot of coffee, though. I think this bad boy will hold 20 oz.
I have a question for ya, if you have a clay that is say cone that is to be bisque to cone 05, can you use a glaze on it that is say cone 5 or 6, or do both have to be the same? I have asked this question to so many site and have not gotten an answer. Thanks in advance for any help. by the way I love to watch your videos. I have learned so much from you.
You're supposed to bisque your Pottery before you glaze it.
It should say on the package or bag with the max temperature is of the clay.
So for example if you get a bag of cone 5 b mix, this means you can only go up to Cone 5 but regardless you must bisque before you glaze it.
Yes i understand this, my question is after it has been bisqued fire to the appropriate temp. Can you a glaze to a differnt temp than what the clay was fired at
