I tried this on two 8# pieces and was surprised how well it worked versus joining two leather hard sections. Thanks for taking the time to make this video! Much easier than trying to envision a big piece in two parts.
I stumbled on your videos. All have been great so far and I have learned a lot of tips. I am going to try your wet on wet throwing technique in a few minutes. Thanks
Richard, I can’t thank you enough for sharing this technique with us! I am trying to make an urn for a friend of mine and emotionally. It’s been very difficult, but also I’m not that great at throwing large forms. I tend to stick with the smaller things. I can easily center three or 4 pounds but when it comes to much over that, then I struggle, hopefully I can get this done. I have six days to finish the piece. Thank you.🤞🙏😉—Liana
Hey Richard. I’ll be doing a workshop soon on sectional throwing and I love the title of your video. I’m not sure if it’s original to you but I might borrow the name if that’s ok? I’ll be teaching another technique of throwing the bottom one day and the top the next and joining them bc i think that may be a little less difficult than wet sections. I do throw wet sections together quite often to make larger forms but I believe that takes quite a bit of skill and practice.
