Video Transcript

"All right like I said we're at the throwing point here. So sense I compressed the bottom it kind of wanted to go out. So let’s bring it in just collar it in. To find out where the bottom is for you start going up. Establish it like this. All right, so you know when it comes time to cut this guy off the wheel or off the hump here, you know that that's the bottom cause it's real frustrating when you cut through the bottom and you realize you got a big hole there now. So let’s take the sponge up on there and let’s just pinch that guy. Pinch those air bubbles out that I hear popping. Now sense I heard those air bubbles that's not a problem it's OK. I'm just going to go down fine out where they are and just squeeze then out of there. All right there gone. Now so I want to grab that clay form up here. Start gently throwing it up here and I'm going to leave some clay up here cause I'm going to want to do a little thing with the top here. All right this is going to be my last pull cause my fingers aren't going to able to get in there. So I'm going to go pull it out. Oops, in let’s hope it doesn't collapse. So I'm pushing this clay pushing it real hard but this is a good strong clay. Good strong clay body. I'm pushing that body out and getting some of that going on there like that. Bringing it on in. Oops, see it collapsed but I can fix that. Just take my tool here and voil?. Compress that clay back and then down there with it. See that bottom is OK. Now I've got all this clay up here I going to want to make a neck with this now."
