"Is that centered?" One of my instructors always said "If you have to ask, it's not." It took me years to understand what he meant, because (1) it took years to really achieve true centering and (2) when you've actually got a centered piece there's no doubt it's centered. You two did great. What a fun video.

Evan did great at centring on that cheap wheel, they aren't great! You both did so good for your first try! To centre, wedge your elbow into your hip and lock your wrist to the splash tray. Push forward with the palm of your dominant hand and use your other hand to keep it steady and then engage your bicep. Full speed for centring, then go slower the taller and wider it gets. And make sure your hands stay wet or the clay will stick to them.

as someone who's done ceramics for a few years but only started throwing last year, you guys seriously did really good!!! it looked as though evan's clay was too soft and katelyn's too hard. if you wanted to do this again, here are some tips I've gathered from my teachers! - getting the clay ready to be thrown is called wedging, and though the movements are similar to kneading, you're actually trying to do the opposite! wedging is to get any air pockets out of the clay, but since you guys are using air-dry, and brand-new-from-the-bag clay, there shouldn't be any air bubbles, and won't make your pieces explode :D - when throwing, remember to brace yourself firmly! plant your elbows into your thighs and don't let them move, especially when centering at the beginning! if you aren't rooted firmly, the clay will be moving you instead of you moving the clay. - it's ok if its not perfectly centered! it will probably get a bit off-center as you shape it anyhow. eventually, you will get it "good enough" to move on :) - keep the clay wet at all times, and having your hands coated in slip (the "gooey") isn't a bad thing! if the clay surface isn't coated in water while you're shaping it, the friction will throw it off-balance and make it much more difficult to do what you want it to. - re-centering it after you've opened it, like what katelyn did, is called collaring, and is essential! - and the faster the wheel is spinning, the bigger adjustments you will make. so when centering, the wheel should be spinning as fast as possible, and then you can slow it down once you open it up. generally try to avoid touching your piece if the wheel isn't spinning

As a professional potter this made my week! Y’all did great for a first try! Your clay was probably not wet enough to start though. You have to wedge water into it (and that is long before you bring it to the wheel. That step makes a huge difference). I’d love to see you try again sometime! 😁

Throwing on a wheel is actually super hard if you're a beginner, so you did really well for your first time! The only tip I'll give you is that centering isn't just getting it in the center of the wheel. It also applies to how the clay moves when on the wheel. If your clay is wobbling when the wheel is on, it's not centered. My teacher taught us to center by cupping the side of the clay with one hand, and cupping the top with your palm. Elbows should be locked and on your knees. I'm really small, so I had to lean over my clay and use my body weight to center. Some people make it look really easy, but if you don't have the muscles, the clay will kick your butt. I am so proud of how well your pieces turned out! You guys did great! I hope you guys do more, even if it's not for a video.

Just a couple tips from a dude who took two ceramics classes in art school. 🙂 4:43 pretty sure that katelyn is referring to the technique of centering green ware clay when you are trimming a piece before bisque firing the piece. Try smudging some clay in the center of the bat before putting the clay on in order to help stick the clay on better 👍🏼 20:37 try jamming your elbow into your leg just above the knee and or into your hips. It’ll help lock your arm in place so you can keep your arms more uniform which helps prevent wonky uneven walls. 22:59 if you kneed the clay more it 1) removes air bubbles that can cause a piece to explode in the kiln and 2) softens the clay a little bit more and makes it slightly more workable.

If I remember back to high school nearly 40 years ago (!!!!) you lock your elbow into your hip and use more the base of your hand than fingers to get it centred. Then pulling the shape up and pushing it down a few times helps to condition the clay to make it more workeable before creating any openings or shape. Katelyn’s clay seemed to be a drier/stuffer kind so would have benefitted from that I think - dispersing some water throughout it would have made it more pliable and she wouldn’t have had to fight with it so much. But I’m still really impressed with how you both did. And your final creations were sooo cute! Good on you Evan for persevering with your design. It turned out really cute. Congrats!

Fun fact I learned from my ceramic class 1. You knead clay so that there won’t be any air bubbles that will form so that when you cook the clay in a kiln it won’t explode 2. Centering it also ensures that there are fewer air bubbles so that it again won’t explode 😂 3. You use the wire tool to cut the clay object off the plate 4. Glaze will be like forever glue so always wipe the bottoms so that you won’t as my teacher said “have to use a sledgehammer to get off” 😂😱 But yeah it was a fun class we did horse hair pottery and multiple types of pottery enjoyed this video so much and it made me laugh when you guys were like how do you knead clay? 😂 oh and the suits aren’t overkill I had an apron AND a towel I wrapped on my legs and I still got super dirty. Oh and a huge health risk warning make sure to keep any and all clay throwing stations clean and not dry as silica dust AKA clay dust when inhaled will make u sick and have clay on ur lungs forever. So please be safe!

real question: why does centering it help with bubbles?
@regeener
@regeener 2 жыл бұрын
@@gmiill when you center clay, you push it in, cone it up, then push it down a couple times and that motion gets rid of the air bubbles in the clay so it’s less likely to explode! after it’s centered, then you can open it up to make a bowl or a cup using your fingers! (i’ve been throwing clay for a couple months now)

I did a tiny bit of pottery in university, and am by no means an expert, but I think with the tougher clay if you knead it longer it might be easier. Also center if is the hardest part so don’t feel bad! This is an awesome first attempt and your painting is fantastic

I've been subscribed to you guy's channel since you were selling coaters on Etsy, and I've never been disappointed with a single video. But today... as a novice potter myself, It is hard the first couple of tries, centering being the most difficult fundamental step to master, I'm only at minute 9 of the video and I'm still highly entertained throught Evan's "struggle". Don't ever stop doing what you guys do!

little tip for starting your puck. pinkies resting on plate, elbows against inner thighs press down and out ward with arms and press thighs inward at the same time. this will kinda lock your arms in and reduce wobble... throwing clay is finding the happy balance of extreme force and gentlness...

As a ceramics Bfa, I found that for centering clay, the faster the better. It's when you start raising the walls that you want to go a bit slower. Also, as someone who is a bit more petite (like katelyn) you want your arms/elbows locked in with your body to brace your arms so your arms are more stable.

You guys are making me want to do ceramics again 💜 This was so fun to watch. Centering is so hard 🤣 I used to spend whole classes just trying to center my clay 🤣 Use the sponge to add more water and clean off the plate 💜 Use about 10 times more water 😊 Edit: your paint jobs are so good! The glazes create those gradients based on thickness of the glaze. But Evan your new paint job is too cute!!! And Katelyn the face is so adorable 💜 And if you're not needing it to be food safe, you could use a glossy spray coat
