Making a ball of clay to put on the wheel. This is roughly a 3-pound ball
of clay.
|
|
Once the ball is on the wheel and centered it must be opened up.
|
|
Sometimes a little effort is required to keep it uniform in shape.
|
Once the clay ball is opened then we begin to bring it up.
|
|
I always bring the clay to it's full height before shaping it.
|
|
Once we have the height then we begin the process of shaping it as we desire.
|
Once shaped we begin the process of cleaning it up.
|
|
Some final trimming around the edges and top is always required
|
|
And walla, after a few minutes of work we have a nicely shaped 8-inch vase.
