Video Transcript

"Now from here you want to bring it all in because we're not ready to go out with that shape yet just by the natural forces of this wheel and the universe it is going to want to go like this so we just want to start pulling this up, grabbing the clay from the bottom and pinching it and while I am pinching it I can feel it raising in my hand and I'm even throwing, I'm just going out like this, one big throw, no big deal. Push down and you always want to push down on this rim that's why I have got this sponge right here and just put it down on there and it takes care of it for me, go down there and get rid of any goo and slip this down in there and clean off the sponge and now we'll get ready for another pull."
