Throwing the Top of a Floor Lamp | Sectional Pottery with Alan Keck (Part 3)

Описание: Alan Keck continues throwing the top section of a monumental floor lamp, sharing his process with humor, humility, and deep craft. From centering 15+ pounds of clay to forming a narrowing neck ready for attachment, this episode is a full-body masterclass in throwing tall, sectional forms. Alan’s joy is infectious, and his teaching style is all heart — this is pottery that speaks to the soul.

🔥 In this heartfelt continuation of his tall floor lamp build, Alan Keck takes you deep into the art of sectional pottery — throwing a form that will eventually support the lamp’s light source six feet off the ground.

Watch a true master potter work with intention, awareness, and decades of experience. You’ll learn everything from how to collar tall forms, navigate soft clay, adjust for thickness, and form elegant necks that support future attachments.

✨ “Just like you, when I sit down at the wheel — I have high hopes.” – Alan Keck
