    When we bought our house in pa, the previous owners left a Kiln in our basement. A year after living in our new home I was asked to go to Africa to teach Sign Language. I needed to raise money to go on this trip. I figured since I had a kiln I would by a wheel and learn how to throw so I could sell and raise money for this mission trip. I had a few lessons from a local potter to get me started. Shortly after, that potter and I lost contact so I had to teach myself at this point. We do not have any schools or pottery shops close by so your videos have helped me immensely. I am still learning and loving every minute of it. I would love to one day be able to afford to go to one of your work shops. That is on my "bucket" list... lol...
    Thanks so much for your time making these videos.

    Thank you for the tutorial on wedging, very helpful and informative. I have never seen it demonstrated so clearly, this is great. Most of the clay I have purchased has been quite firm and takes a lot of effort wedge. I guess I just need to take the time to wet and soften it.
    Thanks for posting, Sharon

    Wow. I've tried spiral wedging on and off but after a critique of my technique, the teacher showed me that I was actually adding bubbles to the clay by creating pockets from shear stress, not taking them out! I will give it another shot making sure that all parts of the clay are going into a rotating spiral. Thanks!

    @zhpottery It's called aging clay. It helps water particle to redistribute evenly around clay particle. The longer you keep the more plastic your clay will be.

  • @Pipsqwak

    Impressive! Those chunks of wedged clay look like pieces of art themselves! It also looks like an insane upper body/arm workout.

    • @josephsalvador9371
      @josephsalvador9371 7 років тому +1

      Pipsqwak well, when wedging you aren't actually using your muscles unless you are sitting down. You actually are using your body weight to push and turn the clay to wedge. :)

    @nmbilly1962 There is no specific requirement for a wedging table as long as it absorb water. My wedging table is a sturdy table and I just place a piece of plywood on top of it for clearly showing the texture. Normally, I don't have the plywood. As to the height of the table, I prefer lower table so that when I am wedging I can use my body weight to save energy.

This one seems more clear about what the right hand is supposed to do ... going to practice some more!

    Hello Hsin-Chuen,
    I have been watching this video a lot lately and have been making some improvements and wanted to asked if you have ever seen a difference in quality if you wedged and wrapped the cone a day prior to throwing? I read online that wedging a cone twice or doing it a day before will allow the particles to tighten and have more green-strength.
    I also have tried wedging with my eyes closed to help the body "feel" the motions more and see less. It did seem to help.
    Happy Potting

    @grwescott 2 роки тому

    Very instructive - thank you! I would recommend that viewers watch parts of this where you are engaged in actual wedging at 25% speed - say from 6:28 to 6:40.
    An observation: I see the value in this is that you are not trying to manipulate the entire clay mass all at once, only so much as will fit in your hands. The rest of the clay rotates around as though waiting it's turn.
