Volume 1 covers extrusions used as additions, such as handles, feet, and rims. The dies are simple but add great detail to pottery forms. The projects demonstrated include a coffee mug, a plate, and a bucket with an extruded clay and brass wire handle.
Much more than just an extruding video, every step in the process is documents from the design of the extruder dies, to shaping the extruded clay, to joining the pieces into a completed whole.
(about 72 minutes)
Volume 2 covers the exciting area of designing and using two-part dies for hollow forms. With these dies, and the addition of a top and/or bottom, the extrusion becomes the actual body of the bot. Learn the principles of designing dies, and how to twist, turn and throw the extruded clay to produce dynamic and expressive forms. Projects demonstrated from start to finish include vases, lotion jars, oil candles, tumbles and small lamps.
Every step in the production process is documented, from loading the clay in the extruder, to adding the smallest finishing details.

In Volume 3 of this video series, potter David Hendley uses the clay extruder to make some larger, more challenging forms. Three different dies are used to make the open rectangular dish, with the walls, handles, and feet all made from extruded sections of clay. For the tall 'wavy vase', the expansion box is installed on the extruder, and the clay is shaped as it comes from the extruder.
Both beginners and experienced potters are sure to learn some valuable tips and techniques they can use in their own work. Just for fun, as a bonus feature, Volume 3 includes the music video of 'The Cobalt Blues'.

I'm not in any way associated with David, I just love his videos.
You don't have to work with extruders to gain a wealth of information from this set of video's. This was one of the best I have seen.
I thought It was one of the best video seires I have seen. Not just for Extruding clay but realizing more of the nature of clay. Added bonus was the wonderful design quality of Davids works. Loved his band.
I am a beginner with extruding and this video was very helpful. The teacher did not hold anything back! I highly recommend this for beginners.
Good video, a little too much stuff you don't need, but well worth the time!
I was pleasantly surprised to find how much I enjoyed this video. It exceeded my expectations. I was particularly impressed with the amount of information covered and how complete and finished the work was on each example piece.
Thank you for sharing your professional approach to your work, David.
