Learn to throw pottery on the wheel quickly and professionally with this sure-fire, accelerated approach!

Throwing Raku style pottery is very similar to throwing any other type of pottery except for the type of clay used. Most beginning videos teaching how to throw on the potter's wheel leave out some of the most fundamental aspects of the process. Our video focuses on the three most important techniques in throwing pottery:
|
||
Centering – Opening – Pulling
|

With these three movements, you'll quickly be able to form a cylinder and from there, anything you desire. Your host Robert Briggs takes you step-by-step through the Raku pottery throwing experience by discussing the types of tools required, the differences in the various clays used for throwing, and preparing your work area. This DVD is fully indexed and searchable, so the student can jump or return to a section of interest. The video takes the student through several camera angles of the procedures with cutaways to graphics showing the positions and how to apply the techniques. This isn't just someone throwing a pot and expecting you to follow. There are also sections for shaping and trimming your piece when you have learned to throw basic forms. |

"The Raku Throwing DVD arrived today and I immediately watched it. It is excellent. The technical quality of the production is perfect and the demonstrations are also. This potter is a good teacher". "I have been working in clay for about 3 years and am able to coil as well as slab, slump etc. But I really wanted to learn to throw. My husband, has been doing pottery for 25+ years, but after watching him several times I was still apprehensive - so...I watched your video a couple of times, then took my laptop out to the pottery studio and watched it as I followed the directions with the video playing. Thank you for making the video. I am disabled to the point that I can't work anymore, so doing pottery keeps me from going stir crazy. Thanks Again!" "My husband and I are great fans of your site, your instructional DVDs and hope to purchase more in the future. Thanks again" |
