Bonnie,
I don't know about anyone else but
I'm waiting patiently for your

Dear Lee,
I just happened upon a post you sent to Clayart back in 2004 describing so
well the process of throwing big with coils. Did you get any feedback at
that time? (Tuesday, 28 September 2004)
I had intended on making a DVD on throwing big techniques but life got in
the way. I may still do it later this year, but wonder if potters want to
throw large pots. True, they are not a ready sales item but I have sold
most of the ones that I made two years ago. One can find a market. I am
living proof that this method is workable at any age, sure does save the
body. Even with rotator cuff recovery, I could throw with this method. I
found that one can throw amazingly light weight pots. I could lift mine
with ease although they were only 25" tall, the size of my kiln. No
trimming was necessary either. My large pots are shown on the Vasefinder
URL shown below.
I recognize that the method is Korean in origin and I am so glad that I have
been able to throw the big pots that were my goal for so long.
Regards,
Bonnie Staffel

I just read a clay art May/June 2006 article about throwing big. It was very well explained and some great tips. I have used the coil method and I have also used this method. I found a couple of great tips when attaching and am anxious to try them. This showed a 2ft large pot thrown from 2 pieces. I looked for the message from John Reeves about throwing big (while respecting your body) but only found all the responses to it. That original article seems to have been deleted?????
