Update: I'd hoped to someday serve as a moderator on this site.
Last Fall, the Mod team was looking to +1; I put my hat in the ring.
"Hulk" is I, happy to serve with a great team!
Awesome, a wealth of information about glazes, clays, what goes into them, and more! Mr. Hansen's take on specific gravity and thixotropy of glaze, essential reading...

Throwing, such a joy! Learn by doing, learn by watching; when you can't be there in person, there's the magic of "the internet" - enjoy!
The Ingleton Pottery gentlemen (Dan, and his father) make it look easy. They've posted a lot of clips...

Bill Van Gilder offers many useful pointers in his videos. I'm using three glaze formulas from his book.

Thought provoking, indeed.
Anne Mette Hjortshøj "Paying Honest Attention" - beautiful film about Danish potter - YouTube
Just watched Shinobu Hashimoto's clip on preparing clay for throwing (October 2022).
I believe continuing on the wheel with the direction initiated on the wedging board makes a difference.
Have been doing this from early on, having noticed that centering seemed much easier about half the time...
This is the first I've seen of anyone else believing same.
