Wedging Clay on the Potter's Wheel

Video Transcript

"Now that you've established now much clay you're going to use, you want to go ahead and center that clay. Make sure this do a little wedging on it; a little wheel wedging or off the hump wedging. Get that Karate chop on there to flatten out the top and always taking your fingers and keeping that bottom established so it separates this from the rest of the pot; the rest of the hump. Go ahead and give it another Karate chop; I'm nice and centered right now and like before for my Karate chop and the way my hands are, this; this little knuckle is established once again to center. So I don't need to look for it because it's already there in one, one quick movement. Now from here you want to make sure everything's nice and flat, lined up; ready to roll as the bottom, as the indentation for the thumb hole. Now we're going to proceed and go into a thumb hole."
