Wheel Throwing Video: One Pound of Clay - Making Mugs as a Warm-Up Exercise

After all, you are more likely to let go and try new ideas when you are only working with one pound of clay.December 5, 2008
I know what you're thinking; Sherman just wanted to run this video clip because he likes bourbon. Well, that may be a fact, but it's not the only reason I find this clip interesting. It also happens to be informative and educational. And look at that slip texture! Watching Matt slip these bottles is like watching a tightrope walker—too much or too little just won't work. And there's a lot more where this came from on Matt's full DVD Vessels for Victory: Line, Gesture and Movement. We all can use a little victory now and then. — Sherman Hall, Ceramic Arts DailyAugust 5, 2008
