The top hand being too far forward was super insightful; I'm pretty sure that's what I've been doing wrong. Thanks so much!

That’s awesome. Most important part. Don’t let centrifugal force and gravity win. Make it a bowl at the very wnd

Awesome. Make yourself 5 balls, center one and move to the side , then center another and pout it to the side.. Do that 5 times.. It will become part of you! Muscle memory!

I do the same thing with my left arm! I discovered that was easier for me back when I was in school. I hadn’t seen anyone else do that, but I showed some other girls in class who were struggling and it helped them too

perfect tips! :). I recenty came back to my wheel after 5 years (medical issues prevented me from making pots) and centering was harder than it was in the very beginning! I just love how you make everytihg so down to earth and lots of practice without overwhelming someone with info :)

Glad you are back at it! Thanks so much. Im glad it helped. I often think I may be giving too much info! Keep watching more, I quite a few analogies that are a bit out there but tend to help! (or at least make you smile!) LOL

I’m struggling SO much with centering. Thank you!! What do you do if your bat is wiggling? Also my clay tends to come off the bat when I cone up. What am I doing wrong? How do I help my clay stick?

I just had two disappointing days in the studio trying to center. My biggest problem is my wrist on my left hand hurts. Am I doing something wrong or should I give up wheel throwing?

Something I've been struggling with in my class (been using the wheel for about 5 weeks) is sometimes when centering there's kind of a lump next the base that's really have to get back in to center fully. Is there when you use those angled two fingers to kind of push it back in?
@MudgirlPottery
@MudgirlPottery Жыл бұрын
yes. those side fingers act like a rib and push those random grains of clay back into the lump, then the top will feel uneven, so use your top hand to push it back in to shape
