What wonderful vases. I can't get this size with one pound and have been doing this over 30 years. What a great potter and I love to watch your instructional videos. Thanks
Thank you for these videos. I’ve started using some of the techniques you show here. It’s paying off too bc my pots are improving, not to mention some of your techniques make for amazing short cuts. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Always awesome to watch your videos. It’s neat to see how you have progressed, but really neat to see all the tips and be seen you do that I now apply to my own.
Thank you for the video! You have a lot of videos of vases with tall slender necks. Any chance you can show how you trim these vases, especially while trimming the foot (upside down)?
I noticed you didn't wire it off the bat. Was that just a time thing because you're doing multiples for the video or is it better to just leave it alone till it's leather hard? Really, really appreciate these videos and your dialogue is just perfect. I'm learning a ton. Thank you!
hey matthew! i've been using a lot of these techniques and have really been enjoying making vases. I wasnt sure, do you have any videos on how you would glaze a vase like this? I have some brushing and some dipping/pouring glazes but i have trouble getting a really even coat on my vases given the thin neck. I usually have to do some combination of pouring the inside + rim and then dipping the outside but it doesn't end up perfect usually.
Do you have a video where you weigh the original lump of clay before throwing, then measure height, and width, and weight of the greenware, again, at leather hard, again at bone dry, again after bisque firing, and again when finished? I would find it fascinating to know the rate if shrinkage at each stage of the artwork. If you don't have such a video, will you please consider making one, or two? Perhaps a small piece, and a 5 pound piece?
I’ve never done that but would be interesting. The hard part is keeping track of a couple pieces at that many stages and also keeping up with the videos over that long period of time. I’ll try to figure it out though.
@@MatthewKellyPottery Maybe you could mark the vessels S E for scientific experiment with the original weight, and size written on the bottom, and again just before glaze using an underglaze crayon. Those underglaze crayons are FUN! I know different clays have different shrinkage rates, that's why it's inadvisable to slip trail porcelain on a b mix vessel. I tried slip trailing a dark brown slip onto a b mix jar once. It sailed through the bisque fire and fell apart in the glaze fire. Some clays do not marry well. I did try again using a large rose stencil to make an inlay of red clay into a b mix bowl that also fell apart. An attempt to use glaze to glue the pieces back together was not a good idea.

Best thrower on youtubes. I have learned so much watching you. My throwing is getting really good now! Thank you
It’s cruel how easy you make it look 😭 you have such strong control with the material
Sorry for being so cruel, lol! I’m thankful for the thousands of pots I’ve made to make it easier to make the clay do what I want it to do.
Amazingly descriptive. The most I remember hearing anywhere. You don't get this from just watching. My favorite, vase 3.
Thanks. Always trying to add value
What wonderful vases. I can't get this size with one pound and have been doing this over 30 years. What a great potter and I love to watch your instructional videos. Thanks
Thank you. This is a very comfortable size for me especially after throwing production for couple decades
Excellent demo Matt
Thank you.
Thank for sharing your knowledge and beautiful work.

You’re very welcome! Congrats on the success.
Matthew: you are amazing and so generous to share your knowledge with us! Thank you from the ❤
Thank you! I need help making small vases!
Always so helpful Matthew! Thanks for these wonderful videos, explanations & TIPS!!❤
You’re welcome!
Amazing skill. I'm a beginner and your technique and results are quite remarkable. Beautiful work!
Always awesome to watch your videos. It’s neat to see how you have progressed, but really neat to see all the tips and be seen you do that I now apply to my own.
Thank you. I’m glad to know they’ve helped!
Thank you for this vid. I always struggle with vases (I was trying again today).
Thank you for the video! You have a lot of videos of vases with tall slender necks. Any chance you can show how you trim these vases, especially while trimming the foot (upside down)?
You are an amazing teacher. I've been practicing the claw pull and you make it look so easy! I've been destroying a lot of pots! :)
Me too but its getting easier
That’s alright. Keep practicing

Great video! Curious to hear approximately how tall/wide these vases get!

Did you ever mention how much clay you were using? Is that a pound and a half? It’s hard to tell.
Would be so nice to not only know how much clay you use, but the height of the pot too.
How much clay did you use for 1 2 and 3 I would like to try this but not use to little clay
動画ありがとうございました。
How tall do you pull your cylinder before shaping?
I apologize if you've answered this before but what type of clay are you using?

Would be easier if I made less pots. lol

@@MatthewKellyPottery I may, or may not have given three or four pottery teachers nightmares.
Do you wire off right away? Also, when do you take the piece off the bat? Thanks!
how much clay did you use?
Ok this may be a dumb question to ask, but how wide are you opening up to and how tall is it before you shape it ?
Tried this multiple times, the lower part is ending up being way thicker than the top, I have to trim a lot to even out the thickness...
How much clay are you using?
