Very good tutorial. That tip on how to secure the clay to the bat, by fingering around the base, prior to beginning the throwing, is great. I will try that in my next pottery class. I have learned to cone up and down; but is experiencing great issues with "pulling up". The clay becomes wobbly and usually breaks, and the sides are unevenly thick.
Thanks so much for the comments. With pulling up the wall, without seeing what you are doing, I’d say would probably be uneven pressure. That would also address the reason the clay breaks. Try to collar the piece in after every pull until the final shaping. The uneven wall thickness is a result of either not being centered to start with or it was opened off center. I hope this helps. Watch for upcoming video where I will demonstrate what I mean
@@mountainmudpottery Thanks so much for your response and advice. Uneven pressure, I suspect, is one of the issues for sure. I've tried to be mindful of this - but, so far, I haven't mastered this particular skill. "Throwing" looks so easy on the videos that I've watched; however, for me, as a beginner, [about five practices now] I've learned that handling the clay is much more difficult than it seems. I will remember to "collar" more often; and I will cone up and down a few more times than I usually do. I look forward to your upcoming video and demonstration of the proper procedure for my dilemma.
