I truly enjoy watching you throw. So thoughtful and talented. Thank you.
I absolutely love your videos, by watching you I have learned so many tips and tricks for me to include with my ceramics. Thank you for being Amazing.
These mugs are interesting 😀😍
Amazing! I just started the wheel back in September at school and love it! Great videos!
@hsinchuen Thank you! Your videos are really helping me.
I am loving how you are working the metal rib. Wish I had mine. I lost it years ago and never replaced it :(.
Amazing skill.Thank you for sharing.
Fantastic demo thanks for posting.
Love the mugs and the chatter. I would like to make those tools.
Beautiful!!!!!
I have not put on a shelf, because I made a big round tile preferred not to move it.
I waited for that to dry a bit, but then cracks appeared.
Thanks for the answer, you are very kind.
nice work
amazing..
The tile-cracking question: If you put the tile in some plastic to let it dry more slowly you will have less cracking. You can also put some damp cloths in the bag so that it drys more slowly.
Very helpful, thank you.
so good
@tmwow Hi, throwing off the hump is my personal preference and it was also the way I was trained. I think it is also an Asian method of throwing many little pieces at a time.
Thank you
thanks..wow
You worked so well, a pleasure to watch the video!.
I have a question, I made a round tile Thickness of 4 mm porcelain put it to dry, open air, in the morning I found it severely cracked, can you explain me please why this is happening
That's amazing!!!! may i ask what you are using to give it that sort of texture?
Hi,
first let me say - I admire your work! Thank you for the videos.
Next I have a question concerning the clay you are throwing with - it looks really smooth and very moist.What type of porcelain/clain are you using?
Thank you again.
This is a really great video for throwing mugs off the hump, but my pottery teacher says she likes to stray away from throwing off the hump because of S cracks. How do you avoid S cracks, especially with porcelain?
The following is my respond to one of viewer's s crack question on my video#25:
"There is nothing to do with the string cut-off or throwing part. My way of avoiding S crack is to trim the bottom thin enough. How thin? I'd say about 1/8 inch. Also, dry your pots naturally instead of put them under the sun."
So far, if I trim the foot within the range of the thickness, 99.9% of my pots are all perfect without crack. The problem is how can you tell the thickness of your bottom?

@frankiejHC Hi, Please watch my video #21. I should have a good explaining on how I cut off the hump.
how did you alter the tool to make the chatter-like texture? im curious to try out your method
@hsinchuen Ahh, gotcha! I understand the process. I was wondering what type of string you're using to cut the pieces off? Sorry if I was unclear. I asked my teacher and while she doesn't use this technique to cut off the hump, she suggested using fishing wire. Would that be a suitable substitution?
Hi, I've recently started to throw mugs off the hump and I cannot seem to get my rims smooth and round, I'm curious as to what you're using, (as seen at 3:13), to get your rims so perfect, thanks!
Did you let it dry on a rack? Sometimes when a tile dries on a normal surface, only one side is truly exposed to air and it drys unevenly; which results in warping and cracks.
What is the best kind of clay to make a functioning coffee mug? How does the finishing process work?
There are a lot of different kinds of clay. It just depends on what you like. It also depends on your skill level. Porcelain is known for being more difficult to work with but I like the way it looks when its done. I would not recommend it for beginners. Other people like stoneware, some like dark clays. Some clays even have little spots in it after its fired. I would find a kind of clay that you like and then see if it is appropriate for what you need. If you are just getting into pottery and don't know where to start "little loafers" or "B-Mix" would not be a bad choice for clay. There are also tons of ways to finish a mug. Gas kilns, electric kilns, wood kilns, mid-fire, high fire. Just make sure that the glaze is food safe. I would recommend joining a local studio and getting some instruction if this is something that interests you. Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions and I will do my best to answer them.
When you're wiring off the cup/mug are you using a piece of yarn? When I throw off the hump I can't get the bottom to cut evenly as I'm using a metal wire.
thank you for posting your video. could you please tell me what kind of clay you use? is that porcelain? i'm trying to throw porcelain now and find out that it's very difficult to throw. do you have any suggestion?
What kind of wheel do you have?
it doesnt seem centered from the beginning, isnt that going to create a problem as far as the way it may sit or look in the final product?
if its centred from where you create your piece it doesn't matter if the bottom of the clay on the wheel isn't centered
What are those trimming tools?
The trimming tools are designed by me and are for sale on my ETSY shop: www.etsy.com/shop/hsinchuen
