@clayfully_loki: The urge to karate chop these little bowls was stronggg! I couldn’t resist! It’s week 43 since I started doing pottery and in order to prepare for the Empty Bowls Bowl-a-thon event being hosted by the San Antonio Potters Guild this weekend, I decided to practice throwing bowls off the hump. I only had an hour to throw as many bowls as I could and I knew I wasn’t gonna keep any of these since it was just for practice! I watched a video of Kwakkyungtae throwing Korean Sabals off the hump on YouTube during my break today and took copious notes on his process and today was all about practicing that exact process to get a feel for the technique! I’d say need a lot more practice with grabbing the same amount of clay each time! I had a 2lb ball of clay nearby so I could feel what that felt like in my hand and try to mimic that feeling on the hump and that helped a ton! But still the fact that they can be so consistent is so wild when throwing off the hump!
Hey I’ll be in San Antonio for a couple weeks and looking for a place to throw! Does your studio do memberships??

Have you done a video on spiral wedging yet? I feel like I can never make my hands work when trying but it’s necessary for large amounts of reclaim and I need to figure it out 😂

How often are you throwing per week that you’ve gotten so good in a short amount of time?

I bet it was so satisfying! A little Keith Brymer Jones chuck it in the bucket moment. Although I don’t think he would have chucked your bowls, but still they were for practice so why not have fun ending them.

ooooo this is what I've been planning on trying next too! it's really interesting to see someone else try it. do you aim for any dimensions specifically or just winging it? I'd love to try and make consistent sizes. seeing you leave a little clay to slam more down on was a great tip!! how much clay in total do you think you used? that's seriously so impressive to be able to throw 13 bowls in just an hour 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

The intro was rough 😭. I was okay with the chops. That was cool... then you squeezed them together and murderized them with glee 😭😭😭. Good thing you're good at this, and can make hella more 😂.
