Playing with a vase at the end of this video, playing around with my pots after I have thrown them is becoming a reoccurring habit as of late! 😄
Few Tips On How I Made This:
Start with well-prepared clay; ensure it’s thoroughly wedged to remove any air pockets and achieve a consistent texture. Shape it into a smooth round ball by giving it a few firm taps and adjustments.
***Next, center the clay on the wheel head by bringing your hands toward the center, much like trying to squeeze a stubborn bottle of tomato sauce. Support one side of the clay cone with one hand while pressing down from the top with the other, focusing on a straight downward motion.
***Once the clay is centered, begin to open it by gently pressing your thumbs into the center and gradually widening the opening while maintaining an even thickness. Be sure to compress the base to minimize the risk of cracks as you work. ☺️
***We then bring up the clay wall using our damp sponge, bringing our two hands up at the same time almost like there tied together, in a smooth continuous motion, keeping a eye on clay wall thickness and making sure the walls don’t get too damp
Once again hope you enjoyed this post and as always Happy Potting!!! 🥳🥳
We will be back tomorrow with some more tips and ideas ❤️
