Throwing a mug

[PsychicDavidJames]

how much and what kind of clay do you use to make these mugs? also can you suggest an easy method to pull up walls for a novice?

Great clip btw very inspiring.

@PsychicDavidJames

I use 300g for those mugs. the clay is my own

Hyplas 71 ball clay - 35

AT ball clay - 10

China clay - 22

Quartz - 13

Nepheline syenite - 20

Undercut the wall of clay from the inside to define the clay you're going to stretch up. Then concentrate on keeping your fingers the same distance apart as you move up the wall. This should stretch the clay evenly. Thanks for looking.

you're right. I've made a few of these. Best way, keeps the forms soft.
