3 Volume DVD Series; Getting the Most From Your Clay Extruder
These DVDs cover all aspects of using the clay extruder.
Volume I
Covers extrusions used as additions, such as handles, feet, and rims. The dies are simple but add great details to pottery forms. The porjects demonstrated include a coffee mug, a plate, and a bucket with an extruded clay and brass wire handle.
Much more than just an extruding video, every step in the process is documented, from the design of the extruder dies, to shaping the extruded clay, to joining the pieces into a completed whole. Approximately 72 minutes.
Volume II
Covers the exciting area of designing and using two-part dies for hollow forms. With these dies, and the addition of a top and/or bottom, the extrusion becomes the actual body of the pot. Learn the principles of designing dies, and how to twist, turn and throw the extruded clay to produce dynamic and expressive forms.
Projects demonstrated from start to finish include vases, lotion jars, oil candles, tumblers, and small lamps. Every step in the production process is documented from loading the clay in the extruder, to adding the smallest finishing details. Approximately 82 minutes.
Volume III
In this Volume of his series, potter David Hendley uses the clay extruder to make some larger and more challenging forms. Three different dies are used to make the open rectangular dish, with the walls, handles, and feet all made from extruded sections of clay. For the tall "wavy vase", the expansion box is installed on the extruder, and the clay is shaped as it comes from the extruder.
Both beginners and experienced potters are sure to learn some valuable tips and techniques the can use in their own work. Just for fun, as a bonus feature, this volume includes the music video of "The Cobalt Blues". Approximately 98 minutes. |
