Ceramic Flower Pot Wheel Wedging & Centering

Video Transcript

"Alright, so we want to bring this up with the palms. What I'm doing is coming in with the sides of my hand and I'm drawing the clay up high like that. And I'm going to start bringing it down and what this doing is finding any inconsistency, any fold, air bubble, and when you do this, it just ensures that you get rid of all those things. And often, if you're using reclaimed clay you might find the end that needle tool that you've been looking for, that made its way into the pug mill and you want to get that out of there pretty much, so it doesn't stick you when you're throwing. So you just come down once again, a couple of wheel wedges and while doing that, just coming down like that, locking my leg, my arm into my leg like that. Wheel wedge to center. There you go."
