This is, and has been, one of my fav videos so far. We potters all know the difficulties of throwing a skinny necked pot and Matthew does a very good tutorial to help us learn more about making these beautiful art forms I LOVE skinny necked pottery :) Thank you Matt. I notice your hair was a substantial part of the second half of the video Matt, as a hairdresser for 12 years I also see that you could do with having it styled: haha I'll pop ight over with my tools. LOL

Great video, as always, I'm trying this shape at the moment so this is perfect, had to laugh at myself, when you changed angle and your hair just got a little in the way, I found myself leaning to 'see' round your head, lol. Thanks for sharing the process 😮😊

Oh my goodness, even at fast speed, it finally clicked for me....I have been having trouble leaving too much clay at the base of my pieces and I noticed that you pull your cylinder a little wider than the final size and then push the clay from the bottom at the bat and turn it into the wall. I am headed down to the studio to try this!

Thanks for making this! I plan to make a bunch of skinny necked vases soon, and this was really helpful. I've made them before with about 5 pounds of clay, and I got it to work, but I had to throw pretty thick. Now I feel like I understand why better. You have a gift for teaching!

Thanks Matt for another great video! You’re so lucky to have slender fingers my mitts can’t get down in the small pieces and I have to use a sponge on a stick. I got my order of two mugs and two tumblers from Etsy. It was hard to choose what was my favorite! But the Tumblr with a glaze like a peacock bowl definitely definitely my favorite. Drinking out of it right now watching your video. I am still interested in one of your larger red peacock bowl so I’ve been watching for it. John

You have incredible "rib control" Matt! it's like an extension of your hand hehe:) I admire this tremendously. I particularly like video Matt, mainly because of the "great challenge" there is to create these beautiful little skinny necked bottles. Your tuition is expert [as usual]. When I get back to throwing there are 2 things I'm `manly` going to concentrate on! Teapots [my fav] and these little bottles. Thank you Matt for taking the time and effort to share your knowledge with us. After 2 years you are still the best potter I've found on the VAST internet. Stay safe. PS: I have to admit that I do have use of either a hair dryer or blow torch to ease the potential problems at the "shoulder" of pots like these! I know it might be seen as cheating: LOL but ,for me, whatever it takes to end up with pots as good as these then I'll cheat occasionally.
@MatthewKellyPottery

Definitely not cheating. Use whatever you have to. It only slows down the process and production. If you can do it without you get to move on to another and practice again and again sooner.

As I've said before Matt, I absolutely love this shape and when `well enough` I practice, practice, practice and practice [hehe] and sometimes get the proportions right, but as you've said; this shape is not at all easy, mainly leaving the right amount of clay at the top to make the "skinny neck" has been the most difficult part for me. Of course, as per usual you make it look quite easy LOL Thanks for all the tips and suggestions.

Of all your splendid videos Matt, I think this is my fav. What a challenge to make skinny necks! You describe "very well" the potential `problems` when attempting making a bottle like this. I'm not well enough now to get into my studio very much BUT when I do, there I am practicing making these beautiful bottles :) I have noticed [what seems to me] how the clay is that you are using! tto soft: too hard: etc. Getting the exact right consistency seems to be "all important" from my small experience so far. I know I've commented before Matt! but this particular video deserves another comment :) :) Thanks. Cliff

Thanks so much. Lovely to watch (charming accent!). Can I ask how you avoid the neck twisting as you pull? Often I get quite a full on twist, which I try to rescue by using my two fingers (on one hand), to compress either side of it, but doesn't always work.

Matt, Hello from St John's, NL Canada. I really enjoy your instructional videos. I wish it were as easy as you seem to do it.I started pottery when I retired ten years ago. I throw all winter in my home studio and sell during the summer in a small store in the village where I have a summer home. I started potting after a couple of bouts of heart failure as part of my cardio rehabilitation. I took a short course and haven't looked back. A friend posted a small video on You Tube after he visited my store . it can be found under "Liam'sPottery , Elliston, NL" I hope you get a chance to view it.Cheers for now. h yeah, I love your work.

Your pug! is it one that "de-airs" too? I only ask as in one of the vases you had some air! I have a 2" pug but a 4" [like yours] I think is far better. After watching you making these beautiful skinny neck vases, the very next time I went to my class I made [or attempted to make] 3 of them just to see if all your tips had rubbed off onto me; they did Matt and I was rather pleased with my results. If they survive all the other processes I'll post you the results of my results your inspirational video. Thanks Matt.
