#Pottery Tutorial

You’ll thank me later. Pottery is all about finding support points from everywhere. Elbows hooked to your body and thighs. Hand hooked to your elbows. Fingers hooking on your hands. Once you figure this out centering gets 100% easier. Let me know if this helped you! #pottery #wheelthrowing #ceramics #potterytips #potterytutorial

A little back to the basics centering video. This is part two of the two part lesson on centering a small amount of clay. When I was new, I had a difficult time coning my clay but when my teacher Betsey Carter taught me this method, I was suddenly able to center with ease.

Day 9 of functional pottery: A PIE DISH!!! ✨🥧🤤 been craving pot pie lol #pottery #ceramics #pie #functionalart #ceramicware #hobby

Pay attention to my left thumb. It wraps around the edge of the piece while narrowing the wall. If I had done the same without controlling the rim, the top would have definitely become off-center and might have even twisted or wrinkled. But because my thumb kept bringing the clay back to the center whenever it tried to shift, everything turned out very smoothly. If you focus on controlling the rim, you’ll see that new possibilities will open up for you in pottery. #potterymaking #potterytutorial #potterylove #potterywheel

One of the most common issues for folks learning to throw pottery is how much pressure you should be using when pulling up the walls. Too little pressure, the clay won’t be moving. If you find yourself doing pull after pull and your pot isn’t getting any taller you’re not using enough pressure. Too much pressure and the clay will get thin, twist or tear, like so👆🏻 We need more pressure around the bottom as there is more clay here and it has further to move. Conversely, we need less pressure towards the top as the clay has thinned out. It doesn’t matter if you fail. Failure always teaches us something. Keep practicing!

I always wondered how it was done… turns out it’s way easier than I thought. _________________________________ Step 1: throw a round form on the wheel Step 2: SQUISH IT (gently) Viola!! #ceramicvase #throwingpots #potteryfun

Even though it's been a while since my first pottery/wheelthrowing class, I still remember it very well... And every time I teach my beginners, I try to teach with empathy and patience. They remind me how hard it is, and how confusing it can be! There's just SO much to remember the first time! 🔽 Leave a comment with your memories of being a beginner; or if you're still a beginner, how's it going!? 🔽 (Disclaimer: if you can center your clay on your first day of wheelthrowing you're either a prodigy or your teacher is amazing haha) . . . #nicoledaceypottery #pottery #potteryclass #firstpotteryclass #wheelthrowing #wheelclass #wheelthrowingclass #ceramicsclass #learning #learningpottery #beginner #beginnerwheel #potteryteacher #teacher #ceramicsreels #potteryreels
