POTTERY INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEOS WITH LUCY
Look for a new pottery instructional video series coming soon!
Work is almost complete on the first section of a new set of instructional videos, the Comprehensive Guide to Making Lids on the Potters Wheel. There will be quite a few videos on making all kinds of lids. The first in the series is about making overhang lids which will be available sometime in November 2024.
Learn pottery through video lessons!

There are now two video series available to stream for 30 days via Vimeo. You may also purchase the videos to download to your computer.

Vimeo is video hosting service, and a great place to see videos and longer films. Unlike YouTube there are no ads, no interruptions, no algorithms... just rent what you want to see, and you are supporting the artist that makes them!
In order to rent Online Pottery Lessons you will need to create a free Vimeo account. You will then have access to rent any "Videos on Demand" on Vimeo.
You do not have to create an account to watch "free to watch" videos. Just go to Vimeo/LucyFagella to see those videos.
You may also want to head over to my YouTube channel to see my “Quick Videos”. These are mainly minute long videos.
Also take a look below at a section from the "Mug Series" on trimming using the tap centering method, (just to give you an idea of my teaching style).
When I was a teenager I spent most of my senior year of high school in the art room learning how to make pottery. I was so hooked on pottery that my parents graduation gift to me was 20 hours of pottery lessons with a local potter. I honed my skills at the wheel that summer before I went off to college, To this day I am grateful for the experience.
I’ve always loved the idea of lessons... just short spurts of time spent with a mentor, where you watch, imitate, then go to the studio and practice.
It takes a long time to learn pottery skills, and even longer to connect those skills with your artistic voice… I can help you with the skills part!
