Video Transcript

"Alright now that we've got this guy all ready; just grab your, your water container here; do it over the water container so it doesn't make a mess and just start pulling it up. And when you pull these handles it's like pulling on a piece of soap that's just slipping out of your hand every time; just slip slip. And you want to keep switching it over because the natural shape of your hand will start making a really thin side and a really thick side so just flip flop flip. And I want to pull; basically I'm pulling the clay from up here down threw out the body of clay here. So make it nice and even, alright. If you feel any places get to thin; just get rid of that, o.k. Keep everything on the same page; even if you're not going to use it, it still will distract your mind. So get it down and I'm going to want two pieces about that big, so I'm going to make it extra long so I've got my pieces. And then what I like to do is take my knuckles in here; I'll just take my knuckles and run it down there like that, just to let them know I was there. Alright, now we got that so go ahead; stick it to your work table let it chill out for a little bit, set up a little bit so we can put it on here without putting finger prints all over it."
