- This is the second stage in the throwing process... for the centering stage please see my first video: • How to Center a Hunk o...
This video covers DROPPING the hole in the middle of the centered clay, then OPENING the hole/bottom to the width that you need the interior.
This video is for my students in Ceramics I, II, and III (Wheel Throwing) at William Mason High School, in Mason, Ohio as well as anyone in the general public that just wants to learn a bit more about working with clay! If you want more specific information on the rest of the beginning stages of dropping, opening, and pulling it up, check out some of my other videos! I also have specific videos on throwing various forms!
I am a high school ceramics teacher (and occasionally digital arts too) and I have my own pottery business I do from home on nights and weekends. Please stop by my Etsy shop www.etsy.com/shop/KaransPotsA... to see my personal work!
Really cool!
THANK YOU!
شكرآ سيدتي الفاضلة تعلمت منك الكثير الكثير تقبلي خالص احترامي
wait, are you left or right handed? im right handed, i use counter clockwise rotation, but i feel more comfortable pushing down the cone when centering using my left hand?
I am also right handed. Using the counter clockwise rotation. :-) Although it is possible to reverse hands, force and physics is more on your side when the counter-clockwise spinning clay you are attempting to center is spinning in toward the heel of your left hand and pushing down with the right... thus giving you a bit quicker control. If you are trying to center more with the right hand and push down with the left, when it is spinning out of and away from your right hand, it is a slower process. I don't know if I explained that well... but locking the left hand and arm as the clay comes toward you is much easier than doing it on the side where it is spinning away. BUT- many potters develop their own ways that work for them that may be quite different!!! :-)
ah, i see! thank you so much for your info! love your tutorials!
