Throwing on the Wheel: Due 3/24/2017

  • Photo of you on the wheel
             (No picture)
  • Photo of your finished piece (even if you end up recycling it)

  1. Explain the process of throwing. 
1. Wedge Clay
2. Throw your ball of clay in the center of the wheel
3. Push the ball down and make sure it doesnt slide off
4. Center the clay by spinning the wheel and pushing down and on the side of it.
5. open up the clay by slowly pushing down on the middle and pull out
6. Pull up the sides
7. Shape it the way you want. 
8. Finish

  1. What difficulties did you have trying the wheel? The hardest part for me is centering the clay. 
  2. What did you find successful? My shape and pulling up the walls worked really well.
