Apr 1, 2010 - is it pathetic that when I'm not throwing I watch videos of other people throwing because I wish I was?

Jun 9, 2010 - That was really amazing, I am just starting to throw pottery, and its very hard. It almost seems like the clay isnt soft enough, of that the wheel is spinning too slowly? Like when you pull the walls, you do it only two smooth motions, and I dont see how thats possible without folding and warping the clay, am I missing something? any pointers you could give me will be greatly appreciated :]

Aug 6, 2010 - I was wondering, does anyone --when wedging-- fold over the clay? Like you wedge one way, then stop and wedge a different way, thereby folding it?
fuzzlefluff Says:
Aug 6, 2010 - @bellaluna423 Thought I'd reply, since he hasn't! :'D The wheel is spinning fine, and actually, the clay looks prettttttttttty soft. You also seemed to have mistaken something; warping can only be done [[okay, several ways]] if you put too much power/pressure in one spot, or be to fast with you hands. Going slow = smooth . Going fast = warped and/or broken/injured pottery. When doing pottery, my instructor said that it isn't a good idea to do more than 3 lifts, because it could be pretty thin.

biojunky Says:
Aug 12, 2010 - okay, that took WAY to long...
cannabisawesomis Says:
Aug 31, 2010 - @knottyboy too much water weakens the integrity of the clay and increases chances of cracks, but when you throw as thick as you, your right it really doesn't matter much.
cannabisawesomis Says:
Aug 31, 2010 - @fuzzlefluff I do it that way! but i suck at wedging lol. the best way to wedge is to spin the clay around as you wedge folding over itself, creating like a fan of folds as you wedge. Simon Leach has a good video showing good technique, but It requires practice! (/watch?v=Ad_R8p_QrdE)
cannabisawesomis Says:
Aug 31, 2010 - @fuzzlefluff instructors ALWAYS say three or four pulls, lol. I was always told that the least amount of pulls is better for not letting too much water into the clay, making shaping hard and collapses more likely. just scrape off the layer of slip inside and out, let the pot rest a few minutes, and you can really make as many pulls as you want. ( i would also like to say that three pulls doesn't guarantee you wont have thin walls ) :)
