Opening Clay on the Pottery Wheel

Video Transcript

"Alright, so what you want to do is find the center. Now if you don't feel comfortable, this piece of center's too, and just hold your hand real steady on the, on your wheel and if it's got any like little "bump, bump, bump, bump", now you know it's not centered. But that one's perfect. So find the center on top and slowly start boring down to the bottom. But, you want to keep your fingers down, your pinkie's down here, or any finger you like. I put my pinkie's down here and it's just that's how I did it up. And you want to go all the way down to where your pinkie is and your thumbs are almost level with each other. Don't go too far. So you want to go down, start drawing it out, like that."
