After a lump of clay has been centered and
the base formed, the next step in the process is pulling up the walls of the
pot and doing that is the topic of this tutorial in which I'll discuss how to
pull up the walls alongside showing you any tips and tricks I have together
with showing you what to avoid to hopefully get your throwing to a point where
you can quickly, evenly, and confidently pull the walls up on the pots you're
making. It’s worth noting that this tutorial won't go over centering or opening
up and forming the base of your lump of clay as I've already covered those
topics in great detail in the two previous tutorials. Both centering and
opening up the clay correctly are undeniably important parts of this process
and if you attempt to pull the walls up on a pot that's centered poorly or
opened up incorrectly you'll only make this next step of pulling the walls up
all the more difficult. So let's begin.
15.1 Learning to
do it efficiently is something that just takes time, but for those who are
starting out, I'd recommend just going for it.
15.2 Use a bit
more gusto and pinch more firmly at the base.
15.3 Try to move
as much clay upwards in the first three pulls as you possibly can, and if that
means your pot breaks, then so be it. Slice it off and start again.
15.4 The fastest
way you will improve is by throwing hundreds and hundreds of pots.
15.5 Another
important thing to consider when you're throwing is how you release your
fingers when you get to the top of your pot.
15.6 Ideally,
when you get to the top, you want to release pressure very gently from either
side.
15.7 As I'm
pulling up, my knuckle on the outside and the pads of my fingers on the inside
never go beyond the rim of the pot.
15.8 Instead,
they arrive just underneath it, and then I very gently detach them.
15.9 Often
beginners, instead of stopping at this point, simply continue pulling all the
way through the rim and pinch it, which often causes one side of the rim to be
thinner than the other, and if you do this numerous times, you can end up with
a rim that's very uneven and off-center.
