Learn The Wheel Throwing Process
Wheel throwing is a simple pottery technique which involves shaping clay on the spinning wheel in order to make ceramic items. It is creative and fun for both beginners and ceramic enthusiasts.
The preparation of the Terracotta Clay
The process begins with the preparation of the clay. The clay is kneaded correctly to eliminate air bubbles, to make it a smooth shape.
The Centering of the Clay
The wheel begins spinning, and then the clay is placed in a centered position using the hands. This is among the crucial steps of wheel throwing, since it allows you to produce even and smooth forms.
The Clay: Opening the Clay
After centering, gentle pressure is applied to the centre of the clay to make an opening. The opening then serves as the basis for the object.
Shaping and pulling the clay
The walls of the clay are gradually lifted while the wheel rotates. The clay is then shaped by hand into cups, bowls and pots, as well as various other pottery designs.
Smoothing and finishing
Once the shape is made, the final area is smoothed by hand or with pottery tools. Additional clay is removed to achieve a more polished appearance.
Removing the Pottery Piece
The pottery product is then carefully removed from the wheel with specific tools or a thread.
