I would love a "so you want to be a potter" starter how-to video. Interested in making my own studio but a little anxious on how to start and what tools to get (wheels, kilns, other considerations). Guidance would be appreciated!
Hey Jon, I think everyone understands how difficult things have been. We all know how much you love Minnesota. Although things have been tough it is in these moments when we need you the most. You have been a welcome respite during these difficult times. So glad to see your back.
My husband grew up in the twin cities, and he travels to the area many times throughout the year for his job. Of course, the twin cities will always be home for him. Because of COVID19, he has not been traveling the past few months. He's heartbroken looking at pictures of the destruction. I know he's going to have a hard time, the first time he has to go back after all of this, and see it in person. I can only imagine how you and your family are feeling. Stay safe, and keep the videos coming. The videos give us a little normalcy again.
You do what you need to stay ok. We’ll all understand and wait for when you feel good about making the videos again. We’re still all in a very strange time here in the UK too. Miss your videos but want you to take care and keep safe and be happy!
Heyyyy...missed seeingbthe vids! Hope all is well with you & your serrt family. And that your coffee shops are back up & running again. Love your wk. Be blessed 🥰
OMG...I just love watching your videos. I just started throwing last October and I bought myself a wheel and old kiln and I just LOVE learning new tricks so thank you SO MUCH!!
I’m new to the pottery community and to this huge volume of videos that you’ve created, so while you’re taking some needed time, I’m soaking up these videos. I’ve even ventured outside my comfort zone to add 2 new streams of income; a lobster stand (I live on a Maine island) and received a grant to buy a Skutt kiln for my art studio. You’ve been a huge inspiration and I’m deeply grateful. Thanks for all you do!
I love & watch your channel since 2 years from Germany, truly inspires and entertains and I ve learned so much from you!!! Great Pottery! Hope all goes well for you and your family & the coffee Shops. Blessings to you 🏄♂️...pots with lid 🙂
Good to see you, it is a lot to take in right now... I completely understand the lack of videos, just happy to see them when they get posted. Hang in there and excited for the restock!
So glad to see you back! We have all missed you. Love the new alterations, especially the none straight lines thy look like rivers and the random dimples. Keep the videos coming. We need the creativity and positivity !!
Missed your videos but I totally understand the time off ❤️ just love watching you make stuff. Maybe more pots for plants or bowls? Also definitely glazing!
Great to see you Jon. totally understandable (crazy times). please know that your videos are awesome bro. you are an inspiration. I love having a well used mn mug in the cupboard but am keen to getting a mocha monkey mug next. best wishes mate.
Your videos have been on loop for me lately as I wait for my studio to be finished and as I wait to be able to travel & pick up my wheel. It doesn’t come with any bats tho, so I need to figure out how to make my own.
Hey, Jon! Please, make a tutorial video about throwing tiny shot glasses or espresso cups. I tried to make them but walls are too thick. P. S. Recently I bought my first wheel and I shazamed music from your videos. So I listen to it while throwing to be inspired😉
Here's a thought Jon - why not make some more ambitious pots than mugs? Nothing wrong with mugs, but there are other things to make? Maybe make some oven to table ware< such as a crockpot that one might cook a rustic stew in? They are bigger pieces with gallery work. There are some great potters in the UK making those. Be interested to see your take. Or make some vases using slab method?
That clay looks nice and moist. No wedge. If i tried that with the stale bmix my local pottery store keeps selling me I'd break my wrist trying to center it.
I'll put my vote in for the wheel thrown covered butter dish, add a wheel thrown knob on the leather hard lid too. How bout anything with a lid, lots of different styles to demo.
Love your work, been missing the videos, but totally understand the reasons why. I have made a few marble mugs, even though some come out really good, some of them get too small of the rings. I think it is when I am centering and I have to work it a little too much. I love seeing those videos brotha. I am an RN and this is how I relieve some of my stress. I need to work on centering and seeing more techniques of that process with the marble mugs or agate ware. That and how much clay do you use for your mugs? Anyway have a blessed day and thanks for all the videos.
Your videos are both so educational and entertaining. Thank you! Question for you. What is the tool you used to clean up the bottom of your last pot in this video. I would like to get one of those. Just what im looking for. Thanks!!!
I’m terrible when it comes to packing pots to be mailed whether it’s one pot or several. How to do it and is there a way to do it cheaper? Also, USPS, UPS, or FedX?
Jon, I am shocked not to find anyone commenting on your shapely arms and calves. I must not be as professional as most folks. Really, sexy af. Forgive my digression. Don’t worry, I’m into pottery too. Made a little years ago but don’t have anything like your skills. I seem more interested in having. Bought tons when I was in Japan and a few things in Bulgaria and Ukraine. I just love it! Having it, using it, seeing it. I really liked seeing the techniques you showed here, very interesting. My third video of yours and I plan to watch more. We all understand if you don’t post much for a while. As you said, lots going on right now. Just do what you must and take care of yourself. Btw I enjoy your “energy,“ as people say, your “manera de ser.” You just seem so chill and comfortable. I like it. Thanks and be cool.
Good to see you back and completely understand your absence., especially with your location. We watch from New Zealand and we send love from afar.
We missed you on TH-cam ❣️ keep us inspired ❣️❣️

I have no interest or need for trending issues, I enjoy watching you throw whatever you’re throwing on the wheel! It’s soothing.Please do more.
We missed you!

Missed your videos but I totally understand the time off ❤️ just love watching you make stuff. Maybe more pots for plants or bowls? Also definitely glazing!
Happy you're back 👏👏🥳
It was nice to see you again,.
my favorite videos are the glazing and reveals
You make this look so easy. Beautiful.
Just beautiful. The satisfaction you must feel...
i´m new ..here....
I love this channel so, so, so much.
Those are REALLY cool! Inspirations
Love the twisted effect!
Stay safe! Love the vids weather u speak or not. Thank u JTP!
Great to see you Jon. totally understandable (crazy times). please know that your videos are awesome bro. you are an inspiration. I love having a well used mn mug in the cupboard but am keen to getting a mocha monkey mug next. best wishes mate.
Your videos have been on loop for me lately as I wait for my studio to be finished and as I wait to be able to travel & pick up my wheel. It doesn’t come with any bats tho, so I need to figure out how to make my own.
So cool! I’ll try these once a studio near me reopens🙃
i think i´ve got interesting techniques.........
Great video as always, wishing you and yours the best.
I am a beginner potter and really enjoy your videos. I am thinking about buying a wheel.......and hopefully plan to set up my basement as a studio.
Hey, Jon! Please, make a tutorial video about throwing tiny shot glasses or espresso cups. I tried to make them but walls are too thick.
P. S. Recently I bought my first wheel and I shazamed music from your videos. So I listen to it while throwing to be inspired😉

Thank you! From Northern CA
Love them all Jon. Keep em coming. Stay Safe!
A little Old Forge influence. Very nice!
Omg I just found you now and I love your work! Also, what a coincidence!! I'm from Chaska 🤩🤩
Nice ideas and techniques thanks
That clay looks nice and moist. No wedge. If i tried that with the stale bmix my local pottery store keeps selling me I'd break my wrist trying to center it.
Thank for the tips. If I can ever get a good cylinder I will try them
Nice Video. Thnx Jon
Thank you!
Would love to see how you glazed these gorgeous mugs
Thank you .
I'll put my vote in for the wheel thrown covered butter dish, add a wheel thrown knob on the leather hard lid too. How bout anything with a lid, lots of different styles to demo.
make videos about glaze tutorial, glaze formula and etc...
i wanna learn more about glaze and ceramic quality thing! :)
Gotta appreciate someone who can use an entire 25 lb bag of clay in one sitting. Lol
I am stealing this for my throwers in my high school class!
see about me................
Love your work, been missing the videos, but totally understand the reasons why. I have made a few marble mugs, even though some come out really good, some of them get too small of the rings.

Thanks
I desperately want to get into pottery but how do you get your supplies. Like the big things. Wheel & Kiln when you first started?
Your Amazing!!! Can I ask your expert opinion what kind of pottery wheel's do you think are the best?
I’m terrible when it comes to packing pots to be mailed whether it’s one pot or several. How to do it and is there a way to do it cheaper? Also, USPS, UPS, or FedX?
How much clay do you use and how tall do your throw your cylinders? I like your finishing tool for the bottom foot where can I get one?
Same question here...how much clay and how tall?

Hope you are all ok. Missed your videos
Geez looks like you've had plenty of sun time. Enjoy
Would love to see one piece thrown lidded jar. Or pillow jar. I can’t get the cut right
Can you try doing the micro pottery on the wheel?
Blissful!
Dónde las vendes? Quiero unaaaas
Kiln unloading !
Satisfying
What kind of clay do you use for wheel and handbilding?
stay safe
Waoww really good
What is your clay name it so cool
How about a video on your table and how you made it, if you made it.....
Northern lights combo!?
Please don't add music
The making of The pots sound is so soothing it's like ASMR
do you not wedge?
helloo......everything and "something else" happens at same time............
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Nice bro i m from india

You must spend hundreds if not thousands on clay 😅
