Have y'all seen this guys pots? WOW!
I believe it is a CD. He cut holes in it to use it as a template for his wire holes and drainage. This guy is great. Go to his website.What in the world is that circular thing he held in his hand at 4:14? ?
I know. I was being facetious. ?I believe it is a CD. He cut holes in it to use it as a template for his wire holes and drainage. This guy is great. Go to his website.

I learned a bunch looking at his videos
I take classes at the local arts center. It’s far away, but definitely worth the drive. Try looking in your area for a local arts center, community college or extension course. I’ve done ceramics at three different schools over the years. It took a while to find the art center ( I’m new to the area) but it so worthwhile. Another option is to look on or run an ad on Craig’s List. There might be someone who would rent you kiln space. If you’ve got clay, your don’t need too many tools and can do it at home.He's definitely got me wanting to do some pottery. Haven't done it since high school, but I'm confident I could do it again. I just don't have a kiln, I'd have to rent one from a local ceramic studio.
I binged on a bunch of his videos last week. He’s inspired me to try a couple of new shapes for my ceramics class. Today I put together a slab built mokko kind of like one in his video. I really enjoy seeing his work being built and gives you great ideas to try for yourself.
If you’ve got clay, your don’t need too many tools and can do it at home.
I wouldn't buy clay on Amazon. Shipping could be killer if you don't have Prime, and worse, the clay may not be the right body for the kiln to fire. At Multnomah Arts Center they only allow you to use the clay they sell. It's super cheap, so definitely no price issue. They don't want anyone to use a low fire clay body because they high fire to about cone 10 and low fire bodies could melt and ruin the everything in the kiln, the shelves and the kiln itself. Best to hold off on buying clay until you have consulted with the place you plan on firing.I've got a $50 Amazon gift card burning a hole in my pocket and I can't decide if I want to buy boat parts, bonsai tools, or CLAY at this point!
There's a local ceramic studio that has wheel rental by the hour. I've emailed her to see if she'd fire my stuff for me.
