Wheel Wedging Clay for Large Pots

Video Transcript

"All right, so when you got this much, amount clay. You want to start off the center so as possible. So I threw this on the wheel head and when I did it hit on center. So I'm happy with that and you want to start centering your piece. Like this, you really want to have your legs locked and that funky top thing that happened during the wedging. Just start mashing it out. Like that. All the while my arms are locked in my legs and it's allowing me to really use the force of my body. Combined with my arms to really start centering this probably ten pounds of clay or so. Take off the bottom put it over there and go ahead and what I'm doing I am using the karate chopping chop, chop down there and I am dragging it up and I am going to make a giant stalagmite. All right and then you come down and all the while you're coming down your kind of folding this clay on top of this clay and just pushing it in. Come in with the force of your body and get in there. Lock your legs. Come down on the pinkie. All right and we're almost there."
