The Video Series
Making Pots On The Wheel featuring Jerry Horning, is a series of six videotapes (30-40 minutes each) that provide the viewer with all of the information necessary to learn to throw functional pots. The first Videotape begins with the most basic skills of centering clay and throwing a cylinder. Each following tape demonstrates a new skill--throwing and tooling bowls and plates, throwing complex forms, pulling handles, making lids and spouts, and making pots with multiple elements, such as teapots.
The value of these videotapes in learning throwing techniques cannot be overstated. Throwing cannot be taught by words: it must be learned by repeated demonstrations and practice. Few teachers have the opportunity to repeat throwing demonstrations as often as students might need or at all for the times that students might want. These videotapes provide pottery students with the opportunity to watch demonstrations by a respected potter and teacher any time they want. Moreover, the videotapes are expertly filmed from a variety of useful perspectives.
For beginning potters, Jerry's step-by-step demonstrations of basic throwing techniques are invaluable. For more advanced potters, the subtleties of form and texture that Jerry gives to his pots when he throws make the Videotapes both inspiring and enjoyable.
The Focus Is Throwing
The six Videotapes in this series focus on throwing skills and the critical appreciation of pottery form. While other aspects of pottery can be learned from a single demonstration and written explanations, the opportunity for repeated visual demonstrations provided by the Videos is uniquely responsive to the process of learning to throw. Beginners are provided clear demonstrations of basic techniques while more advanced potters are offered layers of more subtle lessons regarding advanced throwing techniques as well as the aesthetic considerations in making good pots.
