1/11/2018 0 Comments Throwing on the wheelWhen throwing you need to seal you piece well and center it thoroughly, When you start spinning (I used the kick wheel) Press down hard to create a dome. Then use your fingers to shape and make a inside part to your piece. Hands must be wet to shape and the piece should be done in a few motions. I had the difficulty of keeping the thing centered and and keeping it from becoming uneven in thickness. I found it was successful in keeping the piece smooth and finally was able to create a small bowl thing which was even and successful.

Then rolled over a cylinder and scored and slipped to be made into the cylinder shape. After this the bottom is connected to make pegs for it to stand. Which is also slipped and scored and made even. After this it is dried and can have a handle attached. Then after fired can be glazed.
