Bill Powell - A Roda do Oleiro

In this video Master Potter Bill Powell demonstrates his techniques for wheel throwing an 80 centimeter platter in two sections using two wheels . To complete the stoneware platter Bill turns and trims his piece with the aid of a custom built swing mount that allows for one person to have complete control of the large unfired clay pot.The swing enables the potter to invert a platter of up to one meter in diameter without fear of loss or damage.This approach exemplifies the attention to detail that is the hallmark of all of Bill Powell's Ceramic Art [ many sequences are shown at 2X speed for convenience only ]
