Ceramic Bottle Clay Wedging

Video Transcript

"Alright so we've got this; you want to slam it around kind of get the air bubbles out, get all those creases out just get up; just get up on it, put all your weight into it; let your weight do the work not your wrists especially if you plan on doing pots the rest of your life, got to be really nice to them. So there we go; we have our wedge and we're going to start throwing off of this, this small hump. Usually when you throw from the hump you want to throw with a lot more clay than this but if we're just doing two little bottles this is cool. I'm going to bring it to the wheel head right there; I'm going to bring our slop bucket down, make sure that's all nice and ready; looks like my blue ribs trying to get away right over here; I've got everything set, wheel head's clean and we're ready to start throwing off the hump here."
