Hey. I just have one pet peeve when I saw your video. I can understand sacrificing some of the clay to center, but when you leveled the top so soon, it raised an eyebrow. I'm not that experienced, but I learned pretty quickly all things considered. A few things I noticed about wheel throwing is that, the more clay you take away earlier, the thicker it is, and therefore you're giving up a lot of height. that small bit of wiggle won't be too much of a problem so earlier due to the thickness. HF.
are you talking about around 1:29? I am not sure why I did that at that time. I think that I like to start off pretty level. It just bugs me if the top isn't flat! LOL.... I understand your point, however!
hello ive posted a vid resonse of me throwing a couple of bowls incase you find it useful for the centering there only 5 kg but the centering is the same any size pretty much if you think itd b useful i can record some bigger stuff, dont bother about wobbles aslong as they cant be seen when the piece is still it dosent matter, keep potting
yea, but clay isn't ever really wasted. It can always be reclaimed. It just works better for me to have extra support clay until I get better at throwing. Thanks for watching!
Hi Mike! I would recommend that you center on ball half the size of your original ball first; then, throw another ball on top of the slurry removed ball, center the whole mass. I use a rib or a gyubera to get the inside curve. Let's keep in touch.
Much Better Inside Line !! very nice ;) The Width of the base is directly related to the width of the whole bowl. ie. the larger the base the wider the bowl. Look'n great.
nice off center bowl
