| Push
the fingers down into the centered mass of clay. Be careful
to leave thick enough clay base for the foot ring of the
pot. |
Lift
the roll of clay between your fingers to raise the wall
of the cylinder. |
Always
remain a supporting hand to wrap around the clay to
avoid distortion of the cylinder as the wheel spins.
|
Position
your knuckle slightly lower than the fingers inside the
pot and squeeze the clay upward in a smooth motion. |
Repeat
the lifting process and make sure that the wall is of
an even thickness. When finished, use a wire to cut the
base of the pot off the wheelhead. |
