Wheel throwing demonstration by Danny Meisinger

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.
