Video Tip of the Week: Throwing in Sections
by Tim See | Read Comments (10)
If you want to throw big forms, but think you don’t have the muscle for it, this Video Tip of the Week is for you. For me, large pots are a challenge because of the strain they can put on my wrists and arms. So I am always looking for techniques that can help reduce throwing fatigue. Today, Syracuse, New York, potter Tim See demonstrates how to make larger forms in sections to reduce stress and strain on muscles. -Jennifer Harnetty, editor.
More about the star of this video, in his own words:
I am a ceramic artist from New York. Clay is all I do. I don’t sleep,
eat, have friends, watch TV - I just make pots. Sometimes to break up
the time making stuff, I teach, do workshops and make instructional
videos on throwing, decorating and wood firing. I love the surface of
ceramics and use many different firings to get the looks I want. My
favorite is wood. I teach classes at
Clayscapes Pottery in
Syracuse. I also do workshops on throwing techniques, decorating, brush
making and different kinds of firing (wood, raku, pit).
