How to Make Pottery Pitcher Spouts: Part 2

Video Transcript

"Making a pitcher, kind of like making a tall cylinder, same type of idea of bringing it narrow. Skinny at first and then stretching it out. I'm going to use my rib tool on this again to check and see if I?ve made this thin enough so far, yeah I have, and I?m going to push out with my finger on the inside into that rib tool and get rid of that excess cause that's going to get in my way. Push back down there and I?m going to pull this up to about there. Now I?m going to start pushing out this form just a little bit more here. We are not dealing with the top part yet because I?m going to treat that a little bit differently. Now we are going to take the curve of this and I?m going to put it right there and I?m going to angle that a little bit and that little part right there is given me a little trouble. I?m going to get a sponge and settle that down a little bit and then do that again. Now I'm going to soften this up and you can see how thick that lip is. Everything else here, is for the most part, done and I?m just going to really make sure that I like the form that I have before I start pulling that spout out. I?m going to try to make that a little bit looser by bringing my rib up a little bit quicker and I?m going to stretch it. It's really good to stretch pouring pitchers and tea pots and anything that holds liquid. Just makes it feel like it has volume to it when you stretch that out. All right, make sure that water is out of there."
