Wheel Wedging Potter's Clay

Video Transcript

"O.k. I'm going to start centering this guy; you want to lock your legs, get up on over it and start wheel wedging. Now what that does is remove any inconsistencies threw out the body of clay here and it also will make it to where when we pull down on; when we push down on it will start to center it. So here I'm pushing down; my top hand pushing that way with my left hand all the while keeping my pinky down there to sort out the bottom. Do it one more time and when I'm doing too I'm using very little water and I'm using this slip here to allow me to do this stuff without it getting all dry but if you do feel it start catching just use a little bit more water. But the drier you throw everything, the better off you're going to be down in the long run Now one last Karate chop and it will be centered. Push my pinky in like that; develops this little hole for the next move should be the thumb plunge."
