- In this video I will give you a few tips on how to throw tall vases. This time it won't be super tall vases and not thrown in sections - but normal tall vases, that everyone should be able to make.
The vases I throw is made in stoneware with grog. This helps make it more stable - it is easier to throw tall with this sort of clay.

Another great informative video I like your relaxed attitude about the things you are trying to get better at it gives a lot of help and encouragement to the rest of us struggling throwers thanks again
Thank you so much :-)
Thanks for another excellent demonstration. I often find my fingers catching on dry clay when I'm midway through a pull - I didn't think about making sure the surface was evenly wet as you mention, so thanks for that and all your other tips. Cheers
Thanks. If you run into dry spots, stop, slowly release and re-hydrate :-)
Thank you!!
You're welcome!
I'm throwing a tall lighthouse today
Great! Hope it goes well :-)
Thanks! Another great video! Quick question.... did you let either tall straight cylinder dry a bit before shaping?
Thanks. Not this time but often I do. It helps :-)
My problem with these tall shapes is that at some point, I can't seem to get them any thinner... And if I squeeze harder, I end up deforming them.
More practice, I guess?
I know that feeling :-) It can help to let it try a little bit - a few hours or use a heat gun, and then continue pulling
