I dropped a ceramics class this semester after failing miserably to make a clay cylinder. Now youtube constantly puts these videos in my recommend. STOP REMINDING ME OF MY SHAME TH-cam! lol
No joke our ceramics teacher today said, "we don't start beginners with the wheel, because if we did, every one would drop out on the first day." I was the only one that laughed 😅
I actually did the exact same thing once but later took it again my senior year and was eventually able to get the hang of it. Considering taking it again.
Excellent instructions! I really appreciate the clarity of how to interlock fingers and thumbs throughout the various stages and your sequential one, two, three approach to having a consistent routine. Thank you for getting me on track.
Have been potting for a year and a half and still learning new stuff whenever I watch videos or throw pots....never ending education. Thanks for sharing your videos and experience!
I'm a potter with a small shop and I work by myself. I use to teach but, haven't since the start of the pandemic. Latlely I have videos running in the background while I work. They are good for picking up both pottery and teaching tips. I would love to have a full day worth of videos of your classes, just for the chatter in the background. I hadn't realized how much I miss the voices and sounds of students. I was glad you didn't tell them to quiet down while you recorded.
How did you center so easily and other famous pottery TH-camrs use the other technique to squeeze up and down which is so difficult? Thanks, I’m going to try your technique
Try watching the video once or twice at a slower speed. Just in case you don't know how, on the red time line, find the gear for settings. Change normal to a number less than 100. Good luck with your throwing.
TheDuchessRN Please send the link to your own video so we can see how it's supposed to be done. I've thrown for many years and thought this video was ok.
TheDuchessRN He's literally teaching his students what to do. Of course he is going to talk. As someone who is currently in a ceramics class and has to do this I appreciated the commentary and explanations. Its a flipping art class. Obviously you don't know what artistic style or expression is because clearly you have none and not everyone automatically knows how to throw a cylinder Duchess.
Many potters purposely leave the throwing ridges on their pottery, especially on the inside as it shows that it is thrown on a wheel and not slip cast, mass production. Personally, I really like that look and often leave the ridges as long as they will not interfere with later surface decoration. Some of his students are rather noisy (what we are mainly hearing in the background are his handbuilding kids chatting while they work). I would love to see him do a demonstration video when no students are there to show the wheel throwers on a big screen at a later time. His technique and explanations are really good. I would have loved to have him as a teacher when I was first learning and still find this video quite useful.
If you want quiet and completely smooth pottery, go to Hsin-Chuen Lin’s channel. Not a pull mark in sight. Personally, I watch lots of different styles. It’s called broadening your horizon. You could do with a little of that, too.
This is mad impressive like you can tell this dude doesn’t play around he knows what he’s doing

Hi from Japan. Never give up! You might take a look at Simon Leach's excellent series.

Lmao at least it isn't a viral video of you personally not making a cylinder.
I can’t imagine dropping out of ceramics

The rollover is the best. It has made a huge difference.
SAME! I like that I have a name for it now too.

aaiio
Hi sir, thank you for the best video on starting how to throw I've seen. 🙏
Best instructional video I have ever seen. Great Job and Thank you!
I love this tutorial, very helpful, the talking chattering in the background was very disturbing but I loved your teaching
best tutorial on this I've seen so far
Fantastic. Not only what to do but how and why. Now off to try it myself.
this was THE video that made everything click for me. thank you!!
Me too! Very well explained
This one is 100% legit, im not even a bot.. saved my life when i already finished editing. thumbs up!
"Austen put your elbows down"
awesome video, have been struggling to pull a cylinder, am going to try this
The background noise is kind of annoying, but awesome technique tips. Thank you! Now to see if you have some other great videos!
This is some incredible instruction
Best tutorial I’ve seen yet 🤗
easy to follow, great to watch, thanks for sharing, cant wait to try it myself
Finally found a method I can do. Thank you
those kids had the best pottery instructor ever.
Best teaching video yet!!! Thank you😉
How did you center so easily and other famous pottery TH-camrs use the other technique to squeeze up and down which is so difficult? Thanks, I’m going to try your technique
Should probably compress at the top cuz it’s uneven on the top. BUT OTHERWISE. GREAT WORK
Thank you so very much for your instructions to help my pottery learning more understandable!
Great instructions and demo. Too much noise in the background though.
In this video cylinder what weight of clay did you begin with .?
Could you advise on water when centreing?
beautiful! can you please tell me what's the name of the base tool where we put the clay and spin it .. is this available on amazon?
Best video I have seen , thank you
Great vid. Noisey, I want to tell them to be quiet for you! But, thanks for posting.
How many pounds of clay?? How do you know all the clay is pulled up??
He should have cut the top off. The wiggle would have actually gone away.
What type of clay are you using?
No se inglés. 👏👌👍 Te felicito porque enseñas muy bien se entiende TODO 👍 😉
Some new ideas or terms...helpful
Very helpful to watch, thank you.
wow this is such a great explanation thank you
amazing video!
Lovely help
Wasnt quite centered but he did it real fast
Spite of back ground noise..very simple easy to show the cylinder demonstration.
Beautiful , thank you :-)
Wow, those three pulls, i m still struggling with..😊
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Way too much noise in the background. Hard to focus on what he is saying.
why would you ever take your foot off the pedal????
It stays going by itself, and you don't strain your foot that way 🙂
Hello from Japan. Very good technique. But I am wondering why "...in 10 minutes" has anything whatsoever to do with throwing a piece well. Thank you.
i agree
Any idea where the Instructor is in 2024?
believe me its not that easy *crying*
and why don't you finish the rim LOL?
fun video though!
SUPER HELFUL thanxxxxxxxx
So much water...
Great instruction but was it filmed in a youth club? Very distracting.
Double, double? Really?
Wow the vid is not even 10 mins
Please, please slow down and talk slowly. I want so much to learn from you. Thanks

Too noisy can barely hear him sometimes
Inside of the cylinder is not smooth. Very ridged. Noisy background and talked too much. Certainly not the best I've seen
TheDuchessRN Please send the link to your own video so we can see how it's supposed to be done. I've thrown for many years and thought this video was ok.
It's literally in a class room with kids... You really think kids are going to be silent? 😂
