If you love pottery, but don’t have access to all of the tools (like a potter’s wheel for instance), today’s video is for you.
In this video, an excerpt from Handbuilding with Mitch Lyons, Mitch demonstrates making a seamless cylindrical form using a series of dowel rods in graduated sizes to hollow out the center. It is a great technique for handbuilding cylinders because you can really do a lot with surface texture, as Mitch demonstrates. – Jennifer Poellot Harnetty, editor.

Thank you for sharing this tip. I can’t wait to try this with my year 8s. I’m sure we will have some very wonky cylindrical forms take shape, but we are going to have fun and hopefully encourage a few future ceramic artists along the way.
