Nils Lou's incredible "On the Wheel with Nils Lou" was originally done as a series of 3 videotapes each approximately 60 min in length. The series was highly acclaimed and was perhaps the most informative, comprehensive and enjoyable film on the topic. Now the three videos have been edited, improved, and combined into one DVD! The On the Wheel with Nils Lou DVD comes complete with a table of contents with easy scrolling to any section of the whole film so that you may find and study any specific aspect. The following topics are covered:
• Centering • Throwing a cylinder with X-Ray View showing Hand position • Trimming and Construction • Pitchers • Bowls • Long Neck Bottles • Tea Bowls off the Hump • Platters • Trimming Chucks • Pulling Handles • Wedging • Teapot Throwing and Assembly • Fold-over Lip with Split Rim on a Large Pot • Tall Pot Assembly with two parts • Hanging Pot Upside-down to increase Height • Throwing Oval Plate • Throwing Square Plate • Throwing Pot Upside-down • Fixing Collapsed shapes on the Wheel • Small Necked Pot with Ball Added to Hold Air While Shaping •
(about 103 minutes)

I just got done watching this and I have to say it is not good. The video editing is poor. It jumps around a lot and Nils does not explain everything he is doing very well. It pains me to give this type of review but I just have to. Now after saying this there were a couple of ideas I got from the video but it was hard to watch. It is a lot of content though it last about 1 3/4 hours if not a little longer.
As a professional studio potter I found the video provided a few interesting artist techniques but would recommend the video to more of a beginning potter. Anything Nils Lou does is interesting no matter what your level of expertise. Sometimes it's just nice to watch someone else throw some clay. It makes you think a bit about your own technique. The video was fairly well produced but the editing left something to be desired. It jumped around quite a bit.
