Practice

This morning I went into the studio to work on a few more pieces. I need a lot more practice! 

I took a few pictures if the throwing process. 

You litterly start by throwing a ball of clay on the wheel 

Then you center it

Then open the center up with your thumbs. 

Then pull up the sides up by pinching the sides. 

Then trim off the bottom, so it won't have to trim off as much later. 

Then you pull a wire along the bottom and then take the pot of the wheel.  I usually throw on a bat insted of directly in the wheel. Mostly because I damage the pot everytime I try to take it off the wheel. 

If you look at the first picture you can see 2 holes in the wheel head. In those holes you put "pin's" and then place the bat on top.
