Danny Meisinger is known for throwing big on the pottery wheel, but he showed at the first Mississippi clay conference how easy it is for a master to recover when wheel throwing goes wrong. He showed how easy it is to throw multiple mugs with different shapes while the bigger thrown pieces are drying for the next work. If you missed this clay conference in the Meridian Community College, then these short video clips will show you why you should make sure to follow MSClayworks.

Lots of fun, and all is looking forward to MSClayworks 2023.
Where will that be? Stay focused ...

Danny Meisinger is a ceramic artist from Kansas, and the owner of Spinning Earth Pottery in Spring Hill. In this video, Danny demonstrates some of the techniques that he uses to throw big platters like the one he is holding.
Obviously, the pottery wheels must have enough power to allow throwing this big, and that is why Danny usually use a Brent C model.
He is one of the clay demonstrators at the 1st Mississippi clay conference that will be held this year in Meridian. This live clay event will be in the auditorium of the Meridian Community College on October 8, 2022.

Here are more images of the wheel thrown artwork of this talented ceramic artist. It is only when you see him next to his work that you realize the size of the vessels, bowls, sculptures and other clay works.
